GIVE RAEDY ANOTHER GO
Is the Opinion of Local spOrts-He is
Entitled to 1t.

Is the Opinion of Local spOrts-He is
Entitled to 1t.
''Pat Raedy is entitled to another
go" This is the opinion of the sport
ing fraternity of this city. Raedy
seems sincere in his CHALLENGE and the
general belief is that even, if he did
lay down to Jimmie Handler, he would
not do so again.
1t will be remembered that Raedy
and Handler boxed in this city a few
weeks ago and that Handler was given
the decision; Raedy being accused of
taking. In the third round Referee
Jenkins stopped the bout and ordered
the men to their corners, announcing
that they were not fighting. BY pub
lie exclamation he changed his decision
and allowed them to continue with the
promise that they would do some fight
ing. In the eighth round Raedy went
out, at least he pretended to do so, and
opinions differ as to whether he was
really defeated or whether he adopted
the method to quit.
1t must be admitted that he went
down easily, apparently taking his
time in falling and using his arm as a
cushion for his head to rest on. This
may have been intentional and it may
have not. In the third round both men
were cut and bleeding and at the close
they presented far worse appearance
than did either Zeigler or Matthews at
the finish of their bout. Both were
large, heavy men and naturally did not
display the agility or speed the little
fellows who had been boxing previous
ly showed. This could not be expected.
Ever since the bout Raedy has been
writing to the officials of the club and
the Morning News for another go but
the decision is and has been that he
would not be a drawing card here
again. 'He certainly could not draw
worse than the two latter bouts" said
a sport yesterday, "and why not put
him on again? If he fakes a second
time. then rule him out of the clubs
elegibllities forever. but until then he
is entitled to another show, as the
question of whether he laid down or
not has never been fully settled"

A Cold il the starting Point of One

It is through colds that most of the

Immediately following the cold is a

be in the stomach. II may be in the

body the cold is sure to settle.
If Peruna Is used at this juncture all
trouble would be averted. but unfortu-

Some of them use some other remedy.

At this stage even of the disease Peru

play is suspected. Doyle left Gray's
Landing on the Colorado river we'll

who had refused to work.

die animals wandered into Ehrenburg,

cans waylaid and killed Doyle and led
the animals toward the Nevada settle
ment to conceal the crime. Doyle was
the largest owner of the rich group of
gcld mines at Gray's landing. and was
well known. His disappearance stops

REYES GOOD SERVICE.

Army Greatly.

Army Greatly.
City of Mexico, Dec. 24.-The resigna-
tion of Gen. Bernardo Reyes, who
since January. 1900. has held the post
of Minister of War. has caused a de-
cided sensation in political circles. He
has made an excellent record in this
office and has built up slowly a great
reServtst army, which is an auxiliary
TO the regular forces. His administra-
ton of his Office has been praised on
all hands. and in his retirement from
the cabinet he carries with him the
general good will of his ministerial
associates.
1t is reported that Gen. Reyes will
again become Governor of the inn
portant state of Neuvo Leon, whose
capital is the city of Monterey. 1t Is
probable that Gen. Francisco Mena, at
present Minister of Communications
and Public Works. will succeed to the
vacancy in the war department. in
Volving some other cabinet changes.
The immediate cause of Gen. Reyes
resignation is said to have been articles
appearing in La Protesta, a newspaper
which violently attacked Finance Min
lister Ltmantour, and which articles
were attributed to a near relative of
Gen. Reyes. though this is denied to-
day by the person concerned At all
events, Gen. Reyes felt il incumbent
on him to tender his resignation, and
at prolonged cabinet meeting held
Monday night 1t was decided to accept
the resignation of the War Minister.
The attacks on Minister Limatour
were such as to bring the authors of
the articles within the purview of the
law. Gen. Reyes himself has main
tanned consistent attitude in sustain
ing his political friendship with Minis
ter Lfmantour. but motives of delicacy
