MOOSE roo BIG FOR CAR
Animal Shot in Ontario Recently Was
Shipped In Sections. 49,. p,

An authentic story Of monster moose
comes from the Canadian Express Com
pany. The monarch of the woods was shot
in the Parry Sound district, Ontario, and
taken to one Of the stations on the western
division Of the Canada Atlantic railway,
the intention being to ship it to the home
of the successful hunter down east. At
the last moment, however, it: was found
that the dimensions of the moose and the
door of the express car did not correspond,
the former being the larger. Nothing was
left to do but to ship the carcass in Sec
tons. The weight Of the animal and the
measurement Of the horns were not secur-
ed, but those who saw it state that it was
one OF the largest ever shot in those parts.
A moose, was shipped east few days
ago the weight Of which was given at
$500 pounds. ~

RECORD OF JACK. MUNR0E
The Man Formerly Amateur
Heavyweight Champion of the Pacific Coast-He Is
II Twenty-eight Years Old

Jack Munroe, the husky young miner |
who was given a decision over Champion
James J. Jeffries in four-round contest
last Saturday might at Butte, Mont, Is
a typical underground toiler Of the big
copper mining camp. For two years Nun
roe has followed mining, coming to Butte
from British Columbia about two months
ago. He is at present employed in the
Anaconda copper mine, one of the largest
producers Of the Amalgamated> Copper
Copper Mining company.
In the past two years Munroe has not
had on the gloves until about ten days
before his go with Jeffries. Doc Flynn,
a California lightweight discovered Mum
roe in variety theater and it wasiglt
his solicitation that Munroe was induced
lto meet the big fighter.
Munrce was born in Chester, Pa, TWEEN
ty-eight, years ago, and came west to the
Pacific coast about five years ago. He
became a, member Of the Olympic Athletic
club Of California and proved an adept
with the gloves, defeating all corners in
his class and winning the heavyweight
amateur championship gold medal given
by the club for 1900. One of Munroe's
.feats was the defeat of three mem Calvin,
Melwood and Gallagher-in one night. In
Watsonville, Cal, Munroe fought a TWEEN
ty-round draw with Hank Griffin, the
colored heavyweight, who was afterwards
knocked out by Jeffries in four rounds. q
In 1896 he was a member OF the Butte
football team and was also A guard on
the Olympic eleven. Munros reminds one
Of an well bred, overgrown. bashful and
good natured boy. Ssssssssssss
Regarding his future plans Munroe said:
1T have decided on nothing definite and
will continue to work in the mines, un-
LESS some one thinks I am worth a chal-
slenge want to meet Sharkey and it was
my real purpose in going against Jeffries
that might prove my right TO challenge

REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Noteworthy Performances in Nearly
All Branches of Amateur and
Professional Sport
Titles Won and Lost in the Prize
Ring-Records of the Trot-
ting Turf.

The past year has witnessed more or
less noteworthy performances in nearly all
branches of sport. In pugilistic circles
Jim Jeffries retained his title of heavy
weigh champion by defeating Bob FitZ-
simmons, a second time. >Fitzsimmons,
Kid Mccoy and Tommy Ryan dispute the
middleweight title. but it is probable
that Ryan is the only one
who could fight at 15S pounds or under.
Matty Matthews regained the title among
the welterweights. and Joe Cans became
lightweight champion by knocking out
Frank Erre. Jimmy Britt, the California
slugger who has come into prominence
during the last few months, appears to
have good chance of defeating Cans,
but the former refuses to fight negro.
Young Corbett still claims the feather
weight title. but the real 122 pound cham
pion is Abe Attell. Harry Forbes is with
out rival in the bantam weight division.
On the trotting turf, while few records
have gone. the general standard of speed
is considerably higher than it has been for
some seasons. Professional cycling, which
is practically dead in the middle west.
still flourishes in the east, and around
Butte, Salt Lake and some Of the coast
cities in the west.
TRoTTING. =.
There have been several new records in
the trotting and pacing during 1902, but
the mark Of Creseus, 2:02A trotting,
with 2:03A. In pacing, however, Dan,
Patch, the son Of Joe Patchen, has, equaled
the famous record of Star Pointer-1:59A
and now shares the honor with the
former king of PAGERS, Cresceus made
another record for himself, trotting two
miles in AIT. This beats the previous
record by nearly II seconds. Prince Alert
has been a, sensational performer, going
the mile in 200 fiat and pacing a, half mile
In :57A. There were nearly forty trot-
ters and PAGERS doing the mile in 2:10 and
better the past season.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE :
FINISHES OPERATIONS
1t Listens to Senator Beveridse and
Elects j. Hampton Moore
President.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-The convention OF
the National Republican league was
brought to close tonight with mass
meeting in the First regiment armory.
The principal speaker of the evening
was United States Senator Albert j..
Beveridge, of Indiana. The senator's
address was devoted largely to dis
cussion of the attitude of the two par
ties toward young men,
Among the other speakers were GOV.
Yates, of Illinois, and Congressman
GroSvenor, of Ohio.
The following officers were elected at
the convention today: President, j..
Hampton Moore, Philadelphia; secre-
tary, E. ]. Weeks, Iowa; treasurer, Sid
3. Redding, Arkansas; vice president,
j. J. Sheridan, Illinois.
The platform indorseS the we'll known
principles of the Republican party, and
contains this:
1--WE deplore the unfortunate conditions
which have brought about the differences
between operators and miners in the an
thracite region, and we urge such action
by the parties as that a speedy adjust
ment may be made, to the end. that the
needs of the people of the country may
be promptly supplied.
I'VE condemn every combination of cap
ital whose purpose is self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
at the expense of the workingman, the
general public, the nation, or any state
or local government, or TO increase the
cost Of the necessities of life, or, in any
way. to assail the moral, physical or
political welfare of the people.
1--WE deprecate the employment Of chill
dren of tender age at prolonged and ex-
haustive labor in mills, factories and
mines, and in all unhealthful vocationS,
as an evil which calls for such legislation
by the proper authorities as will protect
the young in their morals, health and
growth

The Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce- has given the Western Union
Telegraph company until Monday to
announce it's decision to send no more
Of the boards quotations to North
western bucket shops, and promises
that, in case of a refusal, there will be
trouble. $50
The chamber has been conducting
paper negotiations with the telegraph
company for nearly a year in an en-
6eaVor to secure the signing of a con-
tract in which the company agrees
to furnish no more quotations to the
bucket shops. The contract, drafted
by the legal advisers of the chamber,
Is now in the hands of Vice President
A. B. Clough for signature, and the
chamber expects to force the issue
Monday.
Follows Chicaeo's Action.
After the victory of the Chicago
Board of Trade over the company, by
which they secured immunity from
having their quotations given in bucket
shops, the Minneapolis chamber, which
had been waging a similar fight against
bucket shops took up the matter with
the company. The company, however,
in various ways circumVented every at
tempt to force the matter to a decision
and the question has dragged.
The directors met Thursday night
and decided that it was time to do
something. They arranged a plan, the
details of which are kept secret, for
the purpose Of securing the desired re-
suits.
Will Present Ultimatum.
The feature of the plan appears to be
an ultimatum to be handed to the COM
pany Immediately upon their refusal to
comply with the chambers request
The company will be told to do one
of two things: Sign the contract or
give promise of signing the contract
now in the possession of it's officer or
take its men and wires from the cham
Der.
The officers of the chamber and
members of the directorate would not
discuss the matter last night, but adj
mitted that the crisis had come and
that the chamber had decided upon a
firm stand in behalf of what it con-
siders it's rights.
