Out in Frisco Californians Are
Backing Britt.
Make the Coast Man Favorite
Over Jack O'Keefe.
BETTING CAUTIOUSLY.
Chicago Sports Are Sure Their
Man Will Win.
Each Side Waiting for the Other
to Move.

San Francisco. Cal, July 31.-Sup-
porters of Jimmy Britt and Jack
lO'keefe, who will meet for the third
time at Mechanics pavilion tonight, are
calmly awaiting a move from each other
in the matter of betting. Harry Corbett,
who is as keen a forecaster Of the pub
lie pulse as any, selects Britt as a 10
to or even 10 to T. A good line is
thought to have been gained on the reIa-
tive abilities of Britt and O'Keefe by
the local enthusiasts through the box
ing of each with Dave Barry. Britt had
Dave for punching bag while getting
ready for Fitzgerald, and O'Keefe is
using him in a like capacity at present
Barry thinks O'Keefe has the better
chance because he is surer hitter and
better judge OF distance, but the Chi
cagoan admits that the battle will re-
solve itself into question of force be-
hind the blows.
Chicago admirers generally think
those odds are not right. Abe Pollock
puts it this way:
'O'Keefe ought to be a 1 to shot on
his last two fights with Britt. 1 think
Britt hasn't a look in on straight,
square fight and an even break on those
low punches and all that. Britt fights
with his right hand up before his face,
the glove covering the right eye almost,
and depends on letting that left go for
the body. With that 1 don't like his body
punch. He lets it go as if the elbow
was nailed to his ribs and gets his body
in that way instead of the free, easy
action. They must be backing O'Keefe
some if the price is going down."
Sig Hart, former manager of O'Keefe,
says:
Il think the price is all wrong. ]
wish l was on the ground; would like
thinking, O'Keefe should be 1 to 2
shot with Britt easy, even in BIRTHS
town. O'Keefe has everything that
Britt has not and is the class of the
fight"

HAVE BETTER DAYS.
Sheridan County Farmers Jubilant
Over 1908 Crops.

Hoxie, July 31.-The Sheridan county
assessors returned S1.043 acres sown to
wheat rye. oats and barley. The stand
is good and well headed. While many
fields will likely yield between 25 and
80 bushels and a few more, it is gen
orally admitted an average yield per
acre will be Is bushels This will give
us 1.215,645 bushels. Then we have 1913
acres of forage crop and 1903 acres Of
Kaffir corn, 5.TS4 acres of excellent al
falfa. the second crop now being har-
vested for this year. the three products
valued at 100000. We have 37.499 acres
of corn, many fields now in tassel, with
a good rain Tuesday night which makes
the corn prospects very flattering. but
shall not venture to make a guess on its
value, at this uncertain period. Then we
have our prairie hay crop, which can
easily give US 10000 tons valued at $780,
600 with 10000 cattle and horses to con-
sumo it, 391S hogs, a dairy product
which last year brought us $31 3d. this
year will exceed it.
Egg and poultry valuation last year
500, 81, garden $1,271 with scarcely any
potatoes raised while this year we have
a fair crop, giving US a wealth produced
this year at a conservative estimate at
$973,647 not figuring in our corn, OF
over 1927 for every man, woman and
child in the county. What's the matter
with Sheridan county?

The Mistake of Mrs. Hoffman.

Yesterday was temperance day and
taking it all in all was well filled with
good programmes. The principal lee
ture of the day was that given by Mrs.
Clara Hoffman. the national recording
secretary of the W. c. T. u. The state
ments made were very interesting and
gratifying to all who heard her. She
told of the many laws made in the var
ious states which were distinctly along
the lines of reform. She gave an ac-
count of the abolition of the sale of
liquors in the national capital and at
ports of immigration. Her exposition Of
the advances made in police depart
ments of our great cities for the good
of public morals and public decency
gave great credit to the untiring efforts
of the w. c. 7. L. in the United States
All this was very interesting, and
pleased the audience very much. but

anarchy in his action with reference to

THREW STONE OUT.
Lawrence g. A R. Man Forcibly
Elected from Soldiers Home

Elected from Soldiers Home.
Washington. July 31-General Israel
w. Stone, of Lawrence, Kan, ex-com-
mander of the department of the Po-
tomac, Grand Army of the Republic of
the District of Columbia, had an excit-
ing experience yesterday at the temper
airy home for ex-Union soldiers in this
city
General Stone is secretary of the board
controlling the home, and had called
there to look over the books. Found
sitting at the superintendent desk en-
deavoring to open the drawers, he was
forcibly elected from the building by
the janitor and cook. They did not
know that General Stone was secretary
of the board of managers and told him
that Captain Maxim, the superintend
ent, had given orders that no one should
open those drawers in his absence. The
superintendent was then out of the city.
General Stone protested vigorously
at being unceremoniously thrown out,
saying that he was an official of the
place and had a perfect right to enter
and do as he pleased, when the janitor
and cook caught him around the neck
and gave him severe pummeling. The
result was that both employees have been
DISCHARGED.
