LAWsON'S HARD LUCK.
Lost Boat Race, Lost $7,ooo,oOo, and
 Now Has to Fight Standard Oil.

~~~~~ -@s-to~ -
 Thomas w. Lawson and Albert c. Burrage are said to be engaged in q bitter contest for supremacy in the Boston copper world, in fact, in a. fight to the death. Lawson was active in the organization of the Amalgamated Copper Go, and has been ldentIned with copper deals for years.
 Burrage, the agent of the Standard Oil in New England, is director in the Amalgamated and has made mil- lions in copper. No two other men Of the younger generation of Bostonians have ever risen in so short a time to such financial prominence and power. Formerly they were friends, sharing alike the confidence of the greatest group of capitalists in the world. To- day they are enemies. They are now battling in the stock market and none can say where the end is. Burrage had abundant knowledge that the ex- tra dividend would be cut. Lawson says he had none.
 Burrage, it is said, with his advance knowledge, sold short thousands of shares of Amalgamated at prices rang ing from S120 to $9S a share, much of which found it's way into the hands of Mir Lawson, who was trying to weat.l- sN hit many of his personal friends, who are said to have accepted his assur- ance that Amalgamated would go to $1S0. Lawson, it is added, accused certain insiders of treachery, and said that she could name them.
 ''What will happen next? is asked on the street. Lawson is still game and holds, he declares. 142,000 shares of Amalgamated, representing at par $1, ,420,00O. Can he stand the strain if Burrage, backed by Standard Oil mill lions. again attacks him? As between Lawson and Burrage alone. there is no doubt that Lawson would win, for he is bold, energetic and resoureeful, with large following. Burrage has his friends, but they are not so numer- ous and probably not so powerful as those of his rival. If the street Is right in declaring it to be fight to Il finish between Lawson and Burrage, there are some interesting and exciting times ahead for the copper contingent Each has determined "One copper king in Boston,"

FIGHTING IN INDIANA.

Indianapolis, Oct 16.-Attorney-Gen- eral Taylor and Judge Harris of Sulli- van county seriously disagree as to tie Indiana law against prize fighting. In a case against two pugilists, Patton and Dixon, which came to trial in the Sullivan county court Monday, Judge Harris quashed the indictment, hold ing that prize fighting is no offense in Indiana. it being contrary to the conl- mon law only and not defined by the statutes. The attorney-general de- c1ares that there is plenty of law to cover prize fighting, but until his opin- ion is officially marked and rendered 1t is of no force. and the Sullivan coun- ty judges opinion stands.

J. S. Carroll.

Harvey Parker, the Brockton wres- tier, failed in his attempt to throw two men nsfifteen minutes at Miners Bow cry theater last night and was forced to forfeit $25. He undertook to beat Frank Idone of Light Battery K, Fifth cavalry, United States army, and Max Brenner of New York. He conquered 1done all right. but Brenner stayed the limit. Idone, who is an Italian, ar rived from the Philippines recently, where he has done service. On Mon- day night he asked for a chance against Parker and his request was granted. He stripped in excellent shape. Tn the absence of Johuny Dunn, Tom Miner acted as referee. aIdone went after Parker with a vim and it looked as if he was going to make a sturdy fight. He was the az gressor from the outset and Parker had lot of trouble in avoiding some well intended holds. After five min utes Idone began to weaken and acted on the defensive. He fell to the mat and Parker got firm grasp. Harvey almost had his man over, but the Ital-T ian, who displayed great strength, got away. Parker was discomfited and caught Idone around the waist for a hip lock. The soldiers strength again came to his rescue and he got away safely. Then Parker got to work iE real earnest. He got under his man iu order to make a rolling fall Idone was on to the ruse, but fell into trap the next moment and Parker grabbed him about the neck. In short while he had secured half Nelson and try as he would Idone could not resist the hold. Slowly he was forced to sue cumb and Parker pinned both of hiS llvals shoulders to the mat, gaining a fall in nine minutes.
 Although quite fatigued over his ex- ertions, Parker next tookeon Brenner. There was not an idle moment in the contest Brenner was stalwart an1 powerful and Parker could not make him budge. Brenner let Parker do The Lulk of the work and at the time limit he was still undefeated. By previous agreement Brenner was entitled to the verdict It is a question whether Bren- ner would have lasted another minute, as he was beginning to tire. The bouts were under catch-as-catch-can rules.
 Leo Pardello. the middleweight, said last night that he has signed articles of agreement to meet Tom Jenkins, tue champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler, in a series of bouts, best two out of three falls to count. The date has Lot been settled. but in all probability tie match will come off some time next month at either New Orleans or Cleve- 1.,,5 UHI,o conditions of fhQ affair will

ELKEs CLAIMS CHAMPIONSHIP.
Has Posted Forfeit of s25o to Ride Any Middle Distance Racer in World.

Has Posted Forfeit of S250 to Ride Any
 Middle Distance Racer in World.
 W. A. Bikes, father and manager of Harry Bikes, thinks that his son is en- titled to the title of middle distance champion. When Bikes returned to this country in September of last year, he found ,telson the champion, and ac- cepted a challenge that the latter had made. He had met and defeated ev- cry man of any prominence in Ger many, France and England, which gave him the title of European cham pion, and by defeating Nelson, the American Champion, in two out of three. races, he was without doubt the champion paced rider of the world.
 Now some people make the claim that Stinson is champion, while others fa- vor Michael or Walthour. Those who say that Stinson is champion base their claim on the fact that Bikes was de- feated by Stinson in two out of three races in which they met this year.
 w. A. Bikes has posted a forfeit, S250. to bind match with any rider, American or foreign, who wishes to ride Bikes for the paced championship. If foreigner accepts he will allow him 5000 for expenses if the match comes off in this country, and will expect to receive the same amount if the match is to be run in Europe.

CARROLL GALES BURKE.
He Deposits One Hundred Dollars
 With The Democrat.

That James s. Carroll is not going to let James J. Burke get away with hls statement that MT Carroll was throw ing a lot of hot air, was very evident this morning when the challenge given below was handed to the sporting edi- tor of the Democrat. MT Carroll says that MT Burke has been cracking bluff at his expense and he proposes to call him and with the coin that talks. He has placed in the hands of the sporting editor one hundred dollars as forfeit for match with MT Burkes unknown and he has also sent in the following statement:
 To Sporting Editor of Democrat:
 Enclosed you will find check for $1O0 to make good my challenge to pit an unknown against MT Burke's unknown for S250 to $500 a side. I am issuing this challenge little early owing to the fact that MT Burke will probably be telling the public who his man is, to boom his show. Therefore, would have a little advantage over him by knowing his man and mine would still be an unknown. Now, I will meet Mir Burke or his representative at the Democrat office at D. m., Thursday evening, October IT, and be prepared to draw up articles and sign them, to wrestle at 13S pounds, and I guess MT Burke will change his mind as to hot air and bluffs. By arranging this match at this time we will do away with all possible confictions as to dates with the proposed match be- tween the unknown and Carroll, also Kelly vs Gilligan. Now, MT Burke, it is up to you to show to the public who is bluffing. You said George Bothner is not your man; now, let me tell you that I do not care what is his name, color or nationality, providing he makes the stipulated weight, 13S pounds.
