r. Frank Turner, formerly proprietor
of the Brattleboro House, was arrested
Monday morning by Chief of Police
Hall on a warrant issued by Judge
Stafford on information filed at the last
September term of court. The warrant
charges him with selling liquor. Tur-
ner has been out of the state most of
the time since the warrant was issued
but returned the latter part of last
week for the purpose of surrendering
himself to the officers. Turner was
given hearing Monday before Assist
ant Judge Worden and bail was fixed
at $500. G. G. Fits appeared at the
hearing for the Law and Order League
and asked that bail be placed at $1,000
but his efforts met with little success.
j. l.. Martin appeared for Turner and
he together with O. T. Ware and L. j.
Turner became sureties The case will
come up for trial at the next term of
county court in September.
Turner has been nominally out of
the state since last October when he
happened to be away on a hunting trip
at the time of the "leign of terror"
among the rumsellers. Proprietor Col
ton of the Melrose house in West Brat
tleboro, took trip for his health at
the same time and has not yet seen tit

the coming village meeting which will

by, r. G. Bacon, l.. W. Hawley and
L. M. Howe-and the chances are that
they will be nominated for reelection.
During their term of office the bailitfs
have thoroughly renovated the engine
house and increased the efficiency of
the fire department in number of
ways; laid new sewer on Walnut
street and extended the one on Pine
street: cleaned the ra ilroad bank. built

ST. LOUIS. Sept 1S.-Edgardo, under a
good ride from Dade, won the Meramec
sweepstakes of $1,000 added money, at a
mile and seventy yards, to-day at Delmar.
Edgar6o was lucky to win. and was as
straight as a string crossing the wire.
Ethylene was favorite at to g. and Ed
gardo second choice at to /. To a good
start Ethylene went to the front and
opened up gap of three lengths before the
stretch turn was reached. Edgardo was
second coming into the stretch. Dade went
to bat on Edgardo. and he closed up rap
idly. A sixteenth out Athylene appeared
a certain winner. About one hundred
yards from the wire Edgardo made
up his run. Battiste, on Ethylene,
drew his whip, and in doing so al
lowed the mare to swerve badly. Before
he could straighten her out, Edgardo was
q length ahead. Ethylene made a game
effort to overtake him, but Il was too late.
Edgardo winning by a scant head in track

the third race. but was disqualified for foul

CAIN AND FITZGERALD
wELL-KNowN LIGHTwEIGHTs WILL
BOX AT EMPIRE THEATER.
Are Sparring Partners to McGovern
and Young Corbett-Big Seat Sale
for Louisville Fight.

On next Friday evening local lovers OF
boxing will have an opportunity of wit
Messing a contest between two weil-known
lightweights who are now before the pub
lie because OF their connections with the
two little fellows who will fight for the
featherweight championship at Louisville
a week from tomorrow evening. Arrange
ments have been completed for ten-round
bout between Eddie Cain. Terry McGov-
ern's sparring partner, and Willie Fitzger-
aid, Young Corbetts sparring partner, to
meet at the Empire Theater Sept. -. Cain
and Fitzgerald are two OF the fastest light
weights in the country. They are both
scie 1tific boxers. and the fact that they are
occupied I'm training McGovern and Young
Corbett is evidence that they are very
clever boxers.
Cain Is an Eastern fighter and has met
many OF the best men OF his class. He has
been with Terry McGovern as sparring
partner since the Brooklyn fighter began
training for his fight with Young Corbett-
Cain Is in perfect condition. having been
working out for several weeks and boxing
every day with McGovern. Fitzgerald has
been a member CO Young Corbett's camp
for many weeks and is also In At condition
TO step into the ring Fitzgerald was
matched to meet Dave Sullivan in Phiiaoe.-
phia last spring. but as he weighed few
pounds more than Sullivan, Tom Sharkey,
Sullivan's manager. would not allow MS
protege TO box him. Fitzgerald IL SAID 10
be exceedingly clever and Is given great
credit for assisting in placing Young Cor
bett in such fine condition for the coming
fight in Louisville.
There is nearly as much rivalry between
the sparrfng partners of the two camps as
there is between McGovern and Young
Corbett. Art Simms also Of the McGovern
camp, and Willie Mack, Young Corbetts
other sparring partner, will furnish the
preliminary to the big fight at Louisville.
Great interest Is being manifested In the
contest between Cain and Fitzgerald to
take place In Indianapolis. II Is very prob
able that nearly all the boxers at the two
camps I'm Cincinnati will to Indian
apolis to witness the bout.
There will be good preliminary to
the main bout Owing to the regular the
atrical season at the Empire occupying
every evening during the week IL will be
necessary to give the boxing bouts after
the regular show. On the evening of the
contest the curtain will be "rung up lit
tie earlier than usual and the regular show
will be concluded in time so that the house
can be cleared and everybody secure their
seats for the preliminary bout. which will
be called about 10:45 or IL o'clock. The
boxing show would then be concluded be-
fore u o'clock.

the two there could be no denial as the
race was run to-day, but the time of l:39 3-5
was not within a second and two-fifths of
the track record. What caused Winslett to
ease Rose Tree up when he knew the race
was against time was puzzle to the judges
as well as the public. The two took flying
start and raced head and head to the back
stretch, where Jiminez forged to the front
by length and half and took the rail. At
the far turn Rose Tree again joined him and
turning for home had length TO the good.
Jiminez was plainly beaten, but regardless
