vICKERs TO RETURN.
Dan o'Neil Has Bought Him from
 Brooklyn.

8g5 f 4e l. a s < E Rnbe' Vickers himself will re1oin tne Holyoke team next week. probably about Wednesday. He is through with E Brooklyn, and Dan o'Neil says he will make the whole league recognize his claim to him this time. When asked about the transaction that took place place between him and the Brooklyn management, Dan says he bought Vickers from Doyle, and the Brooklyn management afterward bought him back again. Now Holyoke will again be the buyer. Since Vickers has been with Brooklyn he has by no means been success. Perhaps it was be- cause he wants to get back to the Paper city, and perhaps it was because he is still young for the big league. He has been played in the field and in the box, but did not draw any laurels in either position. His return to Holyoke will be the cause for great rejoicing in that city, where he was a general favorite, both because of his playing and his good spirits.

FAITHFUL INDIAN WIFE.
She Follows Her Husband to Jail at Portland, Ore, and Arrives
 There Penniless.

An Indian wife's attachment for her husband, who is lodged in the county jail at Portland, Ore, moved the heart of Jailer Jackson to pity, and she was harbored there until some arrangement could be made to care for her.
 c. P. Howard, an Indian who had been picking strawberries at Hood river, was arrested on charge of sell ing liquor to Indians. It is charged that he sold pint bottle of alcohol to an Indian for 35 cents. He was brought to Portland at once. The wife, an In dian of the darkest hue, would not be separated from him in trouble, and came to Portland on the same boat. She did not make herself known to the officer in charge, but waited until he had been taken to jail. She then knocked for admission, and was met by Jailer Jackson.

Jim Judge Was Too Easy a Mark
 Good Joke Worked Off on Referee
 Graney--Cost for New Workers to See
 Big Fight.
 Eddie Graney, who is to referee the passage at arms between Jeffries and Corbett, was held up by a highway man between San Francisco and Har- bin Springs last Monday. He was driving from the Springs to Frisco with Manager Coffroth of the Yosemite Athletic club, before which the battle is to be fought. Graney had $5, 900 of the stake money in his inside pocket. The referee was behind team of good ones and when three miles out of Har- bin Springs, where the road was dense- ly bordered by trees, big man jumped in front of the horses. Instinctively Graney refined up. The man was heav- fly masked. He leveled an ugly look ing rifle at Graney and in what was evidently a disguised voice growled out: Throw up your handsp Graney looked down the black nuzzle which stared him in the face and obeyed. "Get downp' came from under the mask. Graney got down. As the rob- ber advanced to search his victim the horses took fright and bolted. The robber dropped his gun and made a dash for the team. He caught the near horse by the bridle, and after a brief. but lively struggle, brought the fright ened animals to stand. Coffroth had been thrown out of the wagon, but be- yond few scratches was not dam aged. The wrestle with the horses had shaken the mask from the robber' $ face. Graney's surprise gave way to relief when he recognized the mans face It was Jim Jeffries. This is the story Graney tells in Frisco, and adds: Tt seems Jeff and Fitz got an idea that it would be huge joke to rob me of the S5,OOO which represented the stake money of both fighters, and then send the money back to me by express. The plan was to have regular old fashioned hold-up. But the running away of the horses spoiled it. was scared, but forgive then."

SHARPLY CRITICISED.
Admiral Evans Disapproves Sentence
of Nicholson Court-MartiaI.

The complete record of the court martial
case of Assistant Paymaster Rishworth
Nicholson on the Asiatic station just re-
ceived at the Navy Department contains
a severe criticism by Rear Admiral Evans
of the members of the court which tried
Nicholson because of the alleged inadequacy
of the punishment inflicted by the court.
1t was alleged that while on shore at Che
foo, China, Nicholson became intoxicated
and assaulted an elderly civilian. The SEN
tence of the court was that Nicholson be
reduced five numbers in his grade. Rear
Admiral Evans in reviewing the case says
the evidence was of such a character that
the sentence should have been nothing less
than dismissal from the navy Three
off1cers of the court recommended clemency
These three officers" says Admiral Evans
have proved to the converting authority
and to the feet their unWorthiness here
after to act as members Of court
1T is sufficient to make their brother
officers blush with shame to realize that
there exists among the commissioned
officers of the navy at least four-for that
was the smallest number required by law
to have arrived at the findings and SEN
tence in this case-who have so little inter-
est in maintaining the honor dignity and
discipline Of the service, and SO small an
idea of the binding quality OF the oath
which they took as members of the court"
The admiral disapproved the sentence as
being totally inadequate and insufficient
and in order that it shall not serve as a
precedent in future Instances.
Nicholson is native Of California
The members OF the court were Capt
urel Sebree, president; Commander Will
liam A Marshall, Lieut.. Com. Arthur W.
Dodd. Lieut.. Com. Thomas w. Kinkaid
Lieut.. Philip Williams, Paymaster Harry 10
r. Venable. with Lieut.. John T. Tompkins
