Dan Murphy is Reported Confined in
 an Insane Retreat in Boston-Jef-

 Trying to Kill Off the Big Match in
 the West-Jack Roberts Held for
 the Death of Billy Smith.
 If the report is true that Dan Mur- phy is confined in an insane retreat in Boston, his many friends in this city sympathize with himpa and his family
 The gamest man that1ever stepped into ring was Dan Murphy, and prob ably no man, in thersbusiness in the short time that heNwas before the sporting public ever received as many hard knocks. He was put up against some of the hardest hitters in the bus mess, such men as Tommy West, Dick O'Brien and George Byers and a score of others, who hammered him unmer- cifully ill his battles. Poor Dan Mur- phy, he was unfortunate in many ways, and his hard ilck coupled with the terrible beatings he received in his ring contests have at last landed him behind the doors of an insane retreat, ifsthe lumors are correct. It is a sad ending to . plucky fellow and an hon est boxer. .sass ass <, sH asa

At Boston.

Boston, May 14.-Boston had plenty of opportunities to win yesterdays game, but failed to make good. In the ninth, with no one out, DeMontreville oyerslid third on Long's attempted sacrifice and was put out by Wolver- ton. Lawson had no control, and seven Philadelphians walked to first. Cross had an off day in his throwing and three men reached first through his errors, two because of wild throws. Cross made a splendid enchanted catch of Lawson's high fly back of short. The score:

He will Make Kelly Hustle Every
 Minute of the Time
 The Brockton Enterprise tells the following about the coming wrestling match between Kelly and Little:
 John J. Little is doing some active work in preparation for his coming bout with John E. Kelly of Waterbury, which is to be held Friday evening at the City theater. At the last meeting in preparation for the event he put in a half-hour of very fast. work, doing two bouts with Reagan and two With James A. Little. It was hot work and calculated to put the local man in the best condition for lively work. There will be little waiting in the forthcom- ing match.
 "A preliminary will be put on before the main event of the evening. Bob Butler, who is now down on the Cape. will if he returns in time go on with Reagan; otherwise Reagan will go on with Doherty.
 Mark Shack, it is said, has gone back to his business as a butcher, and de- clines to go into any more wrestling matches unless he is sure of his money.
 Parker will probably be here to-mor- row unless he gets chance to do some exhibition work in New York.
 There was plentyvof excitement at a Bowery theater last night. where Leo Pardello, the Italian wrestler, is meet ing all corners this week. Pardello es- saved to throw two men in twenty minutes or forfeit $50. Pardello's first opponent was Jack Williams of New York. The latter had the advantage in weight and is very strong. Pardello knew more about the game and with a firm half-Nelson made Williams sue cumb. The time was six minutes and eight seconds. Without any rest Par dello met Carl Schmidt of Brooklyn. The Italian worked like Trojan and although he had Schmidt almost on his prsek the latter was up and doing at the finish. The Brooklynite received the award. $25, for his labors.

JEFFR1Est AND BRADY.


 Champion Jim Jeffries visited his manager, Billy Brady, at the latter's office yesterday afternoon. They con- ferred for nearly two hours. When the meeting was over neither would disclose the result of the confab. Brady, however, when pressed, said: .Jeffries has not made any definite plans. As you are no doubt aware he is matched to fight Gus Ruh1in. When or where this mill is to be decided I, cannot exactly state. 1 am now ar ranging for Jeffries's appearance at the Pan-American exhibition at Buffa- To. Then I am figuring on matching him against George Crisp, the English heavyweight champion. Of course this mill will not be held until after lief fries gets through with Ruhlin and Sharkey, and possibly Fitzsimmons. may have something more important to say in a few days" When Brady was asked if he intended to remain as the champions manager he fiared up and said:. T wish some people would mind their own business. I am still Jeffries's manager and may contiue as such. Tn my discussion with Jeffries today this matter was not even brought up or mentioned.'' Tom Shar- key, who is also in New York, seems pleased with the information that the champion is to give him another chance. Sharkey thinks that Jeffries means all he says. The former sailor said: II am willing to accept his propositionsth that the victor take all the name to any set of articles of agree ment embodying such conditions. I got a rough deal out west. All the fouling done, if there was any, was by Mexican Petee' Everitt. I beat him from the gong and he was nearly out when the referee stopped hostilities. was surprised when the referee hustled me to my corner, saying that l had lost on a foul. can defeat all the Everitts in the business and would be willing to give him return match.'' Sharkey further said that he did not understand why the referee should have declared all bets off in his go with Fred Russell at Denver, who he knocked out in four rounds. That mill was on the level and I won squarely," said Sharkey. Billy Mad- den, manager of Gus Ruhlin, writes with Jeffries. Billy says: "Of late an effort has been made to belittle the Ruhlin-J effries contest. Dispatches have been sent out front San Francisco to the effect that Gus would not fight the champion, but that Bob Fitzsim- mons would take his place and be his first opponent. Those reports were caused by Ed Homan, matchmaker of, the San Francisco A. O., which is rival of the National A. c. Fitzsim- mons will not fight Homan offered an $8.0O0 purse for Jeffries and Ruhlin, but 1t was refused, as the big fellows can easily draw from $30,000 to $4O,0O0 in that city, and twice that amount in the east. Ruhlin has accepted 65 per cent of the gate receipts, with $500 for expenses, and if the San Francisco A. C.'s representative knew his business he would have made decent offer. Gus is working hard for the mill"

Peculiar Brain Injury.

w. G. Krauss reports the case Of a
herdsman in a stockyard who was
struck by passing train. He re
ceived several scalp wounds and a
depressed fracture three inches above
and one inch behind the left eat He
was Immediately trephined and the
depressed bone removed. 1t was
necessary to strap him in bed, as he
constantly tried to remove his ban
dages with his right arm or waved 1t
up and down. About IL hours after
the operation he began to whistle, not,
however, the popular songs of the
day." but the whistle calls he was &C,
customed to use in calling or driving
his flocks. He would continue
whistling for about one minute, then
would cease for five or ten minutes,
and kept this up at regular intervals
until he died, four days after the
operation. At no time was it possible
to distinguish any melody. The
sounds were of the same pitch and in
tensity and of the same character.
They were audible throughout the
ward and attracted the attention OF
patients and attendants. To the
physicians in attendance it was a
strange experience to hear these
whistle calls coming from patient in
state of Inconsistencies. 1t was
impossible to rouse the patient at any
time before or after the operation
and he died, whistling few minutes
before death.-Journal of Nervous and
Mental Disease, January, 1901.

PEST OF PRAIRIE DOGS.
Poison in Bulk Proposed as a Means
of KiIIinu Them.

Vi f>iiifg nSIn.
The destructive prairie Cog is him
self to be destroyed by an act of con
gress. Hundreds of acres of cattle
ranging in western Kansas are being
ruined by these little creatures. And
now Representative Cone, of Haskell
county, has introduced a bill asking
for $4,000 to buy poison with which
to kill off the entire prairie dog popu-
lation.
In many western counties the
mounds in which the dogs live are
scattered by hundreds over the
prairies, and these mounds are the
homes of countless thousands of the
rodent, says the New York World.
The dogs burrow into the ground
and gnaw the roots of buffalo grass,
the principal food of the great cattle
herds of the west.
The prairie dog is not the only pest
with which governments have had to
carry on warfare. In Australia the
jack rabbits have caused such de-
struction of the grass that the people

rabbit round-ups or drives.
Thousands are killed in these
drives, but still the creatures increase.
Another creature that is puzzling o
government is the mongoose. 1t was
imported from India to rid the island
of Jamaica of the swarms of rats that
infested the place.
The mongoose, however, increased
so rapidly that it became a greater
pest than the rats, and so far no way
of getting rid of the beasts has been
found.
