How Russia Watches TOIstoi.

FAVOR BARBER BILL
Box Elder Residents Petition
Legislature to Pass Bill
Against Market Hunting.

State Game Warden Sharp yesterday
received a petition from over fifty tax
payers and representative citizens OF Box
Elder county urging the legislature to
pass the Barber fish and game bill A
letter accompanying the petition asked
Mr.. Sharp TO present it TO the legislature:
The bill in question is one that IL passed
will do away with market hunting
throughout the state and one in which
the local sportsmen have great interest.
Several of the local sDortsmen yeSter-
day were very much surprised when noLi-
fled that petition had been received
from Box Elder county, as II WAS sup
posed that all the opposition TO the bill
would come from this county. There has
always been a strong feeling between
the market hunters and those who indulge
in the sport for sports sake, and IN the
past the market hunting element has
chiefly been located in Box Elder county.
Those who are in a position to know
say that fully 50 per cent of the game and
fish killed in the state for the market
comes from Box Elder county. This is on
account OF the great duck camps around
the mouth of Bear river and many per-
sons make a good living each year by
killing the ducks by thousands and Ship
ping them TO Salt Lake for sale. This is
what the bill is proposing TO stop, and
market hunters and spertsmen in gen.
eral are anxiOuSly awaiting the DISPOSE
ton of the bin at the hands of the law
makers.

THIS swEDE IS STRONG.
Claims Made That He Can Straighten
a Horse Shoe.

Anders Anderson, who has arrived in
New York from Sweden, as a claimant
for strong man and wrestling honors,
appears to be the wonder of the decade
in his lines. He is a giant in stature
and weighs 225 pounds. He has shown
feats of strength that equal twice
those of other strong men.
Anderson was tried out at Bothner
& Elmer's gymnasium in West Forty
second street, before a group of crit
icaI athletes and physical culture stud
ents. He astounded them ALL He first
showed his ability as wrestler. being
pitted against a 273-pOund Frenchman,
who claims to have thrown all the
champions of Europe. Anderson put
him down in about five minutes.
Anderson then showed more of his
strength by driving an eleven-inch
spike through a five-inch beam with
his hand. He held the spike with his
head against the palm of his left hand,
and then with n circular swing of his
arm drove it crashing through the
wood which rested on another block
on the floor.
An extraordinarily big horseshoe was
then taken by the big Swede and
twisted into an almost straight bar of
iron. No glove or cloth was used in
this. feat to protect his hands.
Anderson then offered to lift 10000

approaching that size
on the street Anderson attracted
much attention. He was dressed in
his national costume, consisting of a
long coat, something similar to the
old style Prince Albert. only the lapels
were bigger and were decorated by
figures in red flannel. A tape of the
same material bound the coat all
around its edges. His trousers We're
buckskin and came only to his keens,
the rest of his legs being covered with
thick white wooden stockings. A pair
Of low-cut shoes. much like clogs, and
a SLOUGH hat, completed his makeup.
Interpreter lie Vine OF the general
sessions court in Brooklyn is the only
man in New York that can converse
with Anderson, his provincial dialect
being unknown even to most of his
/ cOuutrymen.

YOUNG coRBETT TRAINING.
Champion Now in San Francisco Pre-
pairing For Fight.

Young COrbett, who arrived in San
Francisco this week, at once installed
himself in quarters and commenced
training for his tWenty-round go with
Eddie HanlOn on Feb. 81.
1t is understood that Jimmy Britt
will wait upon COrbett and try to
arrange a match on the weight con-
ditions that govern the Hanlon-CoF-
bett affair, viz, 100 pounds at the ring
side. OF course. if by any chance Han
Ion dispOses of Corbett, Britt will not
hold the loser to any agreement that
may be entered into.
1t seems to be the opinion I'm Frisco
thas Corbett in condition far outclasses
Hanlon, but the belief is general that
the champion will find himself in all
kinds of trouble If his condition is
not of the very best. Hanlon boxed
Attel at 122 pounds. weighing in at 3
o'clock on the afternoon of the con-
test. and the idea prevails that had
HanlOn been a few pounds heavier he
would have given a much better ac-
count of himself.
Hanlon's manager says Eddie will
step into the ring with Corbett weigh
ing 12S pounds. No matter what his
weight, he will be at his very best, and
as he is a tireless little Turk, who
loves to stand close and mix it mer-
rily, it will be a blue lookout for Cor
bett if he is not keyed up for a fast
and furious battle.
