The day we started on our trip
across the mountains, from Carson
Nevada, while wheeling down the
grade toward Lake Tahoe, / went
over a high embankment. falling
and badly sprainiug and bruising
my left ankle. When we reached
Hobart, the instep of Mrs. Gordons s
right foot was also much weakened
by the severe exertion necessary ON
the mountain road. 1t seemed as if
we could go no further There was
Just one bottle of the liniment, Trib
IN the place. We bought it and
applied it thoroughly that night and
the next morning, and were thus
enabled to proceed easily and with
out delay. Continuing its use, in
three days we reached our destina-
ton, both knee and instep COM
pletely cured and free from that
stiffness and soreness
which too often mars an outing.
Trib is the greatest thing on earth
where liniment is needed.

The girders will be of steel. but the stand

a total seating capacity of nearly 1900,

THE new grounds will be large enough
TO accommodate 10000 spectators. There
were never more than 5000 people in the
Polo grounds at any game. taking the
actual turnstile count into consideration.
In our grand stand we will have a large
number of private boxes in the upper tier
and plenty of reserved seats, which will
be sold on the coupon plan at a slight
advance over the usual rates. The reg

vices of Redfern. had another boy UNI
der contract, and to the latter the best
mounts were given.
During Redfern's riding on the coast
his work was watched by James Handy,
otherwise known as Busy Jimmy"
Handy learned that the boy was get
ting only a nominal salary for the rid
ing he was doing, and. taking an inter-
est in the young rider, sought the boys
father to get his release from RoWell-
He told the parent that Arthur could
make more money riding as a free
lance. RoWell did not care to let this
boy go, but after much difficulty the
rider was released.
After Redfern's release his father took
him to ride on the Canadian circuit
In his mounts at that time he dis
played fine jockeyship. and during his
riding there a contract was signed for
him TO ride for James E. Pepper for two
years at a salary of $4,000.
When the contract was signed by
Pepper for the riders services horsenen
who saw the young boy in races stated
that Pepper had bought a gold brick"
However, as Redfern continued to ride
he improved rapidly with the result
that he is now one of the best jockeys
on the turf.
Redfern is but II years old, and he
can tip the scales at 80 pounds. The
English jockey. Teddy Martin, is the
only other rider to earn princely sum
at such an early age.

GARDNER DEFEATS CARTER.
Brooklyn Fighter Very Weak at the
End of the Bout.

Chicago. Dec 30.-George Gardner, of
Lowell. Mass.,won a decision over kid"
Carter. of Brooklyn, in a six round con-
test here last night. The fight was
with Gardner having the advantage of
each round. Carter was very groggy
during the last round but by resorting
to clinches at every opportunity sue
ceeded in escaping a knockout.
When time was called for the first
round both men sprang for the center
of the ring and fierce exchange of
swings followed. Towards the end of
the round Gardner cut deep cash over
Carriers right eye This bothered Car
ter considerably during the remainder
of the fight In the second round Gard
ner cut another cash over Carriers left
eye and the latter was covered with
blood when he took his corner.
Carter sent in some vicious right
punches to Gardeners stomach in the
third round. but the latter more than
evened matters near the end of the
sent Carter to his corner staggering.
During the fourth round the men
fought at close quarters and both re-
ceived severe punishment, although Car
ter appeared to suffer the most. Gard
ner was bleeding from a cut over the
right eye at the end of the round After
several exchanges in the fifth round,
with matter about even. Gardner on a
break away crossed his right to Carriers
jaw. The blow sent Carter staggering
back to the ropes, where he sank to his
knees.
He pulled himself up by the ropes and
the bell saved him from further punish
ment Carter made little effort to fight
during the last round, taking advantage
of every clinch to hang onto Gardner
men were covered with blood at the end

AFTER THE Jo1NT1sTs.
People at Neosho Rapids Are Much
Excited Over Alleged Bootleggers.

People at Neosho Rapids have been
very much exercised for some time. on
account of the alleged shipments OF
whisky and other intoxicating liquors
into the place. 1t is rumored that on
December 20 the county attorney had
several witnesses before him and that
several more would be summoned. In
support of the above statement. a letter
was received from there yesterday stat
ing that three of the parties concernoH
in spreading fire water over the coun-
ty had left. leaving no address behind
them.
The people there are doing their best
to help the authorities in this matter,
and the Santa Fe and Wells Fargo Ex-
press company have both been notified
that if caught delivering liquor of any
kind contrary to law, they will be pros
ecuted at once From the decided stand
the county attorney has taken, it is pro-
bable that arrests will follow. and there
is enough evidence to convict several
persons. if they can be found.-Emporia

THEY STOLE BRASS.
Four Fort Scott Boys Arrested, While
the Buyer Skips.

Fort Scott, Dec. 30.-For some time the
officials OK the Missouri Pacific shops
have been missing pieces of brass, both
large and small, and although every
effort was put forth to locate the stolen
goods and the thieves no trace could be
found. The losses became so numerous
and so great that the company sent
Special Detective Z. Small here to as
sist Master Mechanic Kellogg in solving
the problem. Mr.. Small came here the
first of the week and on Friday he
located the brass at the Junk shop of L.
Lange. on Scott avenue between Wall
and First streets. The stolen goods were
recovered, and as Lange had previously
been warned against purchasing brass
from boys he conceived the idea that he
was to be arrested and on Friday night
he left the city for parts unknown. His
departure was not discovered until yes
terday when the officers went to his
place of business to arrest him on a
warrant sworn out by Mr.. Kellogg. Mr..
Small also secured sufficient evidence to
convict four young boys of the theft of
the brass.
