WONDERFUL RECORD
SOUTH DAKOTA MAIL CARRIER
BAFFLEs ICY BLASTS OF
WINTER
HAS TRAVELLED MANY MILES
I'm Eight Years He Has Made a Dis
tance of Nearly Four Times
the circumference of
the Globe.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. 16.-Eugene
Newell, who few days ago was re-
awarded the contract for carving the
mail between De Smet and Drakola, and
Howard and Drakola, for a period of
four years, has probably made the most
remarkable record of any mail carrier in
the United States
In carrying Uncle Sans mail he has
Travelled nearly four times around the
earth's surface. He has been carrying the
mail over this route for the past eight
years. and in all that time he has miss
ed only one trip, and that was during
the unusually severe winter of 96-7. For
about twenty days that winter it was so
fearfully cold that it was almost impos-
sIble for man or beast to be out in the
open air. Nevertheless Newell made his
regular trips, with the exception of one
day that he failed to reach De Smet
In the course of one year he makes
l56 trips to De Smet, or drives a distance
in the year of 4,056 miles. This is on the
De Smet end of the road At the other
end of the route, or from Drakola to
Howard, he makes the same number Of
trlps-156-in year, and drives an addi-
tional distance of 6,S64 miles, making a
total of 10,920 miles in one year
Figuring for the eight years which he
has been making these trips it would
aggregate 2,496 trips, during which he
Travelled a total distance of 81, 1860 miles
or nearly four times the distance around
the globe.
This is believed to place him in the
lead of all mail carriers in the United
States in long distance driving.

AT THE BIG spiel
ST. PAUL RINK HAS DONE AS WELL
AS COULD BE EX-
PECTED
WELL UP IN THE CHALLENGE
Experienced Hard Luck in Royal
CaIedOnian Event-Bob Will
Try Hard for Points
Prize

Dunbar, the premier skip Of the ST.
Paul Curling club, with the big spiel at
winnipeg half over, is still in the princi-
pal event, the grand challenge He
mas reached the siXteens, and with an
other victory is within hailing distance
? of place of the prize. Two more vic
tories and he is in the semi-finais, and if
he should be fortunate enough to score
four consecutive wins the handsome piece
of pewter win come to the Sanity City
for year
In the Royal Caledonian the ST. Paul
man was unfortunate, being put out of
the running by w. F. Payne, managing
editor of the Free Press. and an enthu-
siastic curler who is well known to, and
popular with the curling fraternity of
this city. 1t appears that Dunbar had $
tablished a good lead and was running
easily, when his opponent by a clever
squirt pat on a four end, which reversed
the order of affairs. This was done by
good curling and the element of luck did
not contribute to the result In .he sue
ceeding end Payne put on another and
was four up. 1t was up to Bob to do
something and he did but fell one shy
of landing the game.
Comments in Winnipeg papers indicate
that Evan Rees, the boy who is lead on
Dunbar's rink, is putting up a splendid
game, and with his skip ooing the best
work. lie Is the young fellow whose uni
formly good work on Nuska ice has at
tracted favorable comment from older
and more experienced players, this win
ter He also did well at Duluth, and in
the opinion of all who have seen his work
is a conner with brilliant possibilities.
Considering the fact that the ST., Paul
rink is in the fastest curling company
TO be found anywhere and that opportuni-
ties for practice have been few this win
ter. it must be said that is performing
fully up to the expectations of the enthu-
siasts in this city, and even shoald the
players return without anything to show
in the way Of trophies or prizes, the
credit of St. Paul has at least been cred
itably upheld.
Smith of Duluth has not been so FORUM
ate as his ST. Paul colleague and is out
of all the principal open events. He did
not arrive in time to participate in the
Grand Challenge, but was entered in the
Walkerville and the Caledonian.
Local 'brithers" are resolutely pinning
their faith to one thing, and that is that

watch given for the highest score in

CHANCE FOR TERRY
I'YOUNGv CORBETT'S MANAGER is
WILLING TO GIVE HIM AN
EARLY OPPORTUNITY
MUST WHIP SULLIVAN FIRST
Theatrical Manager of Young Cham
piOn Is in st. PauI-Says Cor
bett Will Fight in
Ninety Days.

If Mr.. Terror" McGovern and his
widely advertised proboscis survive IN
safety the shock of their scheduled clash
with Dave Sullivan at Louisville next
Saturday both Terry and the nose will
be given an early opportunity against
Young" Corbett's handy fists.
This was in substance the statement
made to The Globe last night by
Peter Kennedy, manager of the lyon
Yonson" company, and the theatrical
mentor Of the youthful champion. Mr.
Kennedy is the owner of the show with
which Corbett is now exploiting such
histrionic talents as he has, and yester-
day he received a telegram from Johnny
Corbett, who is the matchmaker and
pugilistic manager for the man who lick
ed Terrence, saying that negotiations were
about to be commenced for bout be-
tween Young Corbett and the winner of
the McGovern go, and asking him to
meet the show at Fort Wayne to assist
in the arrangements. Mr.. Kennedy will
accordingly meet his men, and Immediate
ly after the fight Saturday night will be
ready to talk business.
I'VE are tired of this talk of chance
1 blow, and the constant repetition of the
statement that McGovern can dispose of
our man as easily as he was himself put
out Of business last Thanksgiving day
We shall be glad to see BcGovern win
Saturday. for it will then give us a
chance to call the bluffs he is sending
out broadcast.
MY personal opinion is that Young
Corbett can lick the alleged Terror
seven days a week without seriously in
conveniencing himself. He has all the hit
ting power for which McGovern is noted,
has more science, and keeps his head bet
ter in a tight place. 1t is head work
that wins fights, and that is what Nc
Govern lacks.
For two years he was lucky in max
ing his blind rushes cop out the big end
of the purses, but when he met a cool
headed fighter. who was his equal in
strength and his superior in everything
else that goes TO make up a fighter, his
doom was certain. I am in a position TO
say that Young Corbett viii meet the
winner Of next Saturdays fight within
ninety days. providing, of course, that we
are satisfied with the purse. stakes and
location of the proposed mill. Take my
tip. and don't risk any portion of Your
jute on the eX-champion, for Corbett has
him beaten at all stages of the game" "

Canning House Burned.

On Saturday morning last about 2:3O
o'clock the canning house Of Mcssrs John
Root s. Son was destroyed by fire. The
carly hour, its isolated location and its dis
lance from the town water supply rendered
it impossible that any portion OF the building
or stock should be saved and the destruction
was complete. The fire came in the heart Of
the busy season and found the factory with
more than 100 900 cans filed and besides
full stock empty cans and cases. A portion
of the filled cans may be worth something,
but this is naturally a very indefinite guam
tity when considered ms salvage.
Mcssrs Root estimate their net loss above
Insurance as exceeding $4,000; there vas
$4,000 insurance, $1,000 in the Carroll County
Mutual on building machinery and fixtures
aud $4,000 in the Baltimore County Mutual
on tht stock.
In addition to the direct loss, there must
be considered the growing crop of tomatoes
deprived of market by the destruction Of
the canning house. Efforts have been made
to secure market elsewhere Tor the toma
toes. In this they have succeeded, Mr.. Peter
Rouzcr taking them for his canning house at
Rouzervilc, near Penmar. Mcssrs Root
have not as yet considered the question OF
rebuilding and will not until later.
