COLONEL ANDREW ]. NAY
Tribute Of Respect by the TaZeWell Bar

VIRGINIA: At a County Court for
Tazewell County, begun and held at
the courthouse thereof, on Tuesday, June
10th, 1903.
Hon. j. II. Stuart presiding:
TO THE HONORABLE, THE COUNTY
COURT OF TAZEWELL COUNTY:
Colonel Andrew J. May, a distinguished
lawyer of this county, having died at bis
residence in Tazewell, Virginia, on the 3rd
day Of May, 1903, the members Of the
profession practicing at the bar of your
court, desire to pay their tribute of respect
to the memory Of this able lawyer and
prominent citizen.
The life, success and achievements Of
Colonel May furnish striking example of
what may be accomplished by determin-
ed and upright man in government fash
Toned as our. Born in the mountains Of
Kentucky, at time and place where but
poor opportunities were afforded youth for
education and advancement, his ambition
early led him westward, whittier he reach
ed California in its golden age. Return
ing to his native state, he had scarcely
commenced the practice of his chosen pro-
fession, when the war between the States
began, in which he volunteered in the
army of the Confederacy, distinguishing
himself as a brave and daring soldier, ris-
ing to the rank of Cononel; his most noted
achievements as an officer being in en-
gagements where he commanded as an
Independent cLieftain, for which his bold
and daring qualities peculiarly fitted him.
His most marked attribute throughout
life, in every position, was his courage-a
courage that was never daunted-sublime
even in the hour Of death.
Adopting this county as his home after
the war, he early became successful law
yer, ranked high as trusted and faithful
counsellor; bis fidelity to his client never
tagged; his qualities showing best as an
advocate, for he was bold and aggressive
often brilliant in his encounters. He was
endowed with sleepless energy, and a
capacity for work that was truly wonder
full. He was man of high public spirit
and will long be remembered for his sim
cere charity and his kindness and help to
the poor and needy.
He was impetuous and sometimes rash,
but once convinced that he had wounded
friend or worthy antagonist his great
manhood readily prompted him to make
amends Cononel May bravely encoun-
tered his share ofthe hard struggles of life
may his strong heart forever rest in peace
The bar of this court pray that this
tribute Of respect to the memory of their
dead comrade be spread upon the records
Of this court, and that copies hereof be
sent to the county papers for publication
and to the family of the deceased.

is to have a policy with good

distressing to read now and then
that so and SOS househas burn

mated at so much with no insur-

right had he been wise enough to
have kept insurance on his house.
There is no certainty that your
house will always escape fire

Alex. Greggafns Tells Why MunrOs

Very little has been heard of late re-
garding the proposed fight between Jack
Monroe and Champion Jeffries. San Fran
cisco fight promoters have been trying to
match the two for a few days and ii
looked as IL Monroe might accept the in
ducements that were offered for a battle
between the two. Alex. G~reggains, of San

the opportunity of meeting the champion.

more money for a losing end against the
champion than he possibly could get hold
of by beating some other man." said Greg

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Sept. ia strike of the
section men, all Italians, employed in
double tracking the Big Four Railroad
through Muncie, took place to-day and a
riot was threatened for several hours.
Two crews. one or twenty-eight, under
Charles Cope. and one Of fourteen. under
Pat Tuhey, were engaged in building the
tracks through the city. This morning the
men under Tuhey were told that they
could not be given further work and should
prepare TO return to Cleveland. The men
grumbled and went TO the Cope gang and
induced them TO quit. The forty-two men
then m and demanded their pay
and transportation on the fast train this
afternoon TO Cleveland. This was refused
by the Big Four officials and the men were
told that they would be sent back to Cleye-
land tomorrow.
After the strike this morning the men
began drinking and several fights took
place among themselves. Knives were
drawn and threats TO attack the officials
were checked from being carried out only
by the arrival of the police.

This has been a remarkable baseball
season in New York city, says an Eastern
writer. Early In the season 1T was no un-
common sight to see between 10000 ana 81
900 people at the Polo grounds and a hlgh
average of attendance has been maintained
throughout the summer. Thousands nave
watched the progress of the games on the
bulletin board. When the home team would
add something to its score q roar OF de-
light invariably burst from the crowd.
Nothing, perhaps, could attest the popular
ity of the game in the metropolis of Amer
lea more than this. 1t is little wonder that
the baseball lovers of New York nave
taken such an intense interest in the work
of Gotham's representatives during the
past season. 1t is many years since

Madden. Under the spell OF the Wizards

and won his next race in a hand gallop.
Madden's Own Dope guaranteed TO make
'em run every time the dough's down. was
superior TO Regan's. He said it was bad
shoeing that had allied the horse. Appar-
emily this theory was incorrect, as the same
old trouble, sulking, bothered the Major in
the Century stakes. Some of the disgrun-
tied thought the new fault would be rem
edied before the next great prize came up
for competition.
When Jimmy Mccormick had Hermis
this spring he was unable TO induce him to
show speed. Thomas dropped Mccormick
and turned the horse over to karrick.
Meeting with no better success, he formed
a partnership with Alexander Shields, and
the half change of ownership seemed to
work wonders. Hermis jumped out and
won his next race by a block. He con-
tinued to win. and T~homas-who, rumor
says, was reclaimed to the turf by the
judicious running of the Great Trial stakes
went about referring to him as the horse
of the century" just as some thoughtless
persons did last year when he was finish
ing first i'm every race. Hermis had oppor-
tunity to prove his right to this title in the
Century stakes, but he failed miserably.
A facetious person said this was due to
Waterboy's sudden recovery of speed,
which gave Hermis such a shock that he
stood still in mute surprise.

Notes of the Fighters.

George Munroe, the New York boxer,
had his jaw broken in his bout with Jimmy
Devine at Philadelphia recently.
A match has been arranged between
George Gardiner and Bob Fitzsimmons, the
contest to take place at San Francisco
Hughey McPadden offers to meet Young
Corbett, Jimmy Briggs, Tommy DAILY and
Kid Goodman in limited round bouts. Nc
Padden agrees to battle at 126 or LIS pounds.
"Al" Weinig has posted a forfeit of 500
to bind a match with bob" FitZsimmons
at 15S pounds. Weinig says that if "Fitz"
declines his offer Is open to Jack" Root
or Marvin Hart.
1t is the general impression of the Boston
sports that Kid Goodman should take a
rest for several months. His work ia his
recent bouts shows that he has gone stale
from continued training.
The Tammany Club management is ar
ranging a bout between Bob FltZsimmons
and Sandy Ferguson. While few think that
champion, the bout will draw well in
Boston.
Joe walcott, the 'Giant Killer hasn't
had a go at any big fellows in some time,
matched to meet Kid Carter, the heavy
Brooklynite, who stood off Gus Rubin for
six rounds. Walcott is scheduled for ff-
teen rounds with Carter in the Criterion
Athletic Club, Boston, on the evening of
Oct. z. The bout will be at catch-weights,
which means about twenty pounds in Car
ter's favor.
Terry McGovern will be a busy man for
the next few months, as he has five fights
on his list, the first one being with Sammy
Smith, on Sept. q, at c~atch-weights, in
Philadelphia Then he has another there
with "Crockey" Boyle, whom Yanger de-
feated in q six-round bout. After Boyle
comes Chick Tucker. who fights Terry in
a six-round bout in Philadelphia. After
McGovern has cleaned up a little easy
money in Philadelphia he will shift over to
Boston, where he fights Kid Goodman and
Jimmy Briggs and a few others who are
TO be selected when McGovern arrives
there

CANDIDATES AT EARLHAM.
FOur Promising New Candidates
Have Joined the Squad.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, Sept. 19.-The Earlham
football squad reached its largest number
last night. 1t now has thirty-seven MEM
bers, all of whom were out with one ex-
ception. John Link is laid UP with a
sprained ankle, but will be back on the
field next week.
Four new men, Wilson, Hill, Macy and
Leggett, joined the squad last night. All
of these men nave had considerable expert
ence and are very promising for the varsity
team. Macy was in the line last year and
Leggett played a good end in a number of
games. Wilson started out as a promising
quarter, but suffered a broker collar
bone and was forced to quite the game.
AS was anticipated, the team will be
very light. The heaviest man on the
squad weighs but 175 pounds, and as a
whole 1t will not average more than 40
pounds, but it is expected that the team
will average more than this. Only three of
the thirty-seven are new to the game.
which is a most encouraging record in the
face of such a light team.

LA CROSSE FLOODED.
Water Three Feet Deep i'm Some Of
the North Side Residences.

LA CROSSE, Wis, Sept. 19.-The food sit
uation is worse to-day at this point, the
river having risen six inches more during
the night. The Chicago. Milwaukee s.
St. Paul railway tracks are under six
inches of water, and the flood has entered
the Easements of numerous wholesale
houses. The big pontoon bridge connecting
the city with Crescent, Mimi, was nearly
washed away The damage TO this struc-
ture shuts off all communication with this
city for thousands of Minnesota farmers
who trade here.
In north La Crosse the water is three feet
deep in some of the residences, and French
island, opposite the city, is almost entirely
submerged, thousands of farmers there suf-
fering total crop losses. Reports received
here estimate the crop damage In this i'm
mediate vicinity at $500,000. Townships in
the nearby counties are heavy losers on
account of innumerable bridges being
washed away.
