A POINT FOR BURBANK,
Judge Fitzpatrick Refuses to Throw
His Case Out of Court.

Leavenworth, Kan, March 10.-Judge
fitzpatrick has overruled the motion to
throw the case of Sidney S. Burbank
against Mrs. Conception Vasquez out
of court Burbank some time ago petit
toned to have an alleged marriage an

This cablegram was turned over to
Judge fitzpatrick on December 5, and
he granted q. stay of judgment. In the
meantime, Eli Nird1inger. a. Ieaven-
worth attorney, has been chosen to rep
resent Mrs. VasqueZ and he filed a mo-
ton to throw the case out of court for
lack of jurisdiction. The court held that
the woman had voluntarily placed her
self under the jurisdiction of the court
when she asked for a respite. The
question of jurisdiction was warmly ar
gued. Mr.. Nirdlinger was assisted by
William Dill, another we'll known
Leavenworth attorney who made some
comments concerning Burbank's rela-
tons with the woman and attacked this
character. Judge fitzpatrick promptly
stopped him. Attorney Nirdinger
made a lengthy speech on behalf of his
client.

SULLIVAN AFTER YANoER.
Recent Victim of Young Corbett May
Meet the Upton Elasher.

Chicago. March 1O.-Dave Sullivan and
Jimmy Barry. who arrived here late
Saturday from the coast and the
Young Corbett fight, were discussing
a prospective match with Benny Yam
ger today. The funny angle to it is
that Sullivan and Hertz decline abso-
lutely to do business with one another,
and the only way the match can be
made is for the fighters to accept the
clubs terms.
.Yanger will fight Sullivan at 100
ringside, winner to take IS per cent or
their share of the gate and a. big for
felt put up to bind the two first to
fight and second to get into the ring,
said Hertz this morning. Il don't want
any argument. All we will do is sign
the articles, put up the forfeit and
fight. The club knows that and all
Sullivan has to do is sign the articles
ssI'H probably have to do the talking
for Sullivan said Jimmy Barry.
Dave had Corbett tented up in the
air in the first round continued Barry,
switching to the recent fight. I'm the

New workers. Off for Atlanta.

New York. March 10.-Now that the
National league club is safely harpored
at Savannah, the American league
chaps are about ready to get under
way. Most of the players will be met
at Washington today by Clark Griffith.
From there he will take them direct to
Atlanta. Ga, and from that time until
early in April the team will be kept in
the south preparing for the battle in the
American league. 1t will not be Grif-
fth's plan to hurry the team very much,
as he has several oId-timers in the out
fit who do not need a great deal of
work to put them in condition, and
who must be handled with plenty of
caution so they shall not begin the
season with lame arms.

CHALLENGE TO GIANTS.
New York American League Wants
an Exhibition Series.

New York, March 10.-Owner Frank
Farrell of the New York American
league team has again thrown down the
gauntlet to the Giants. He wants to
match his nine against the Nationals for
a series of three games, to be played
before the regular season opens, the en-
tire proceeds of the games to be devoted
to charity.
Mr.. Farrell says he thinks such
series is due to the public that pays so
much to support the game here. He
says:
I'm Chesbro, Griffith, Powell. Hughes,
Wolfe, Bliss and Putnam I will have
the strongest pitching staff in the coun-
try, bar none, and I feel certain that if
the two teams can be brought together
the Highlanders will easily demonstrate
their superiority. This is not said in the
nature of a boast, but it is my opinion
and the opinion of many men we'll
qualified to pass on the merits of the
teams.

While William York, Fred Elbs and

day morning, Elbs related to the other
two men dream he had had the night
before. He told them he had dreamed
seeing Willes' body in the river near
the second drift below the bridge. The
other men didn't believe in dreams very
strongly but they told Elbs they would
go and look after they got through
with their work. When they found the
body of Mr.. Willes it was in the river
at near the exact location Elbs had
said that he saw it in his dream. All
