Grand Rapids BOodIing Cases
Again Taken Up.

Grand Rapids. Mich, April IA jury
has been secured in the superior court
for the trial of State Senator David E.
Burns. The defendant is charged with
accepting bride of 5000 in connection
with the Lake Michigan water deal
which resulted recently in sensational
disclosures of much corruption. Sen
ator Burns is charged with influencing
legislation at Lansing.
Former City Attorney Liant K. Sails
bury was the first witness Salisbury
testified that Senator Burns told him
he did not propose to introduce a bill
to ala all the city officials in making
money when he was only going to get
500 or 5000.
Il took him out to my office and
paid him 5000 with the understanding
that he was to introduce the bill at
Lansing" said Salisbury. ''I was later
to pay him $1,000 He wanted the whole
amount at once but we agreed that he
should abandon the bill if he did not
get the rest of the money"
Salisbury said that after he himself
had been tried and convicted Burns
advised him to tell all he knew. How
ever, Salisbury said that when asked
if he should begin by telling on Burns
the latter intimated that it was not
necessary to include him.

It is just a common cold, people say,

statement then there are uncommon colds
colds which are dangerous for many a
fatal sickness begins with cold. If we
could tell the common cold from the IN
common we could feel quite safe. But we
can't. The uncommon variety is rarely
recognized until it has fastened its hold on
the lungs, and there are symptoms of con-
sumption.
At the first symptoms the careful person
will heed the warning by taking mild

disturb the system or cause gripping. About
the best is DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. -

Says Jimmy Britt Won the
Fight on the Square.
Story of an Interested Specta-
tor at the RIngside.
ALWAYS AGGRESSOR.
Fought More Than Half the
Rounds With a Broken Hand.
Declares Referee Graney Gave
a Square Decision.
ALWAYS AGGRESSOR.

Cincinnati. April 7.-One of the best
known sporting men in town return
ed home yesterday from San Fran
cisco. He was a. spectator at the Cor
bett-Britt contest on March %, and
says that Britt won fairly. He got the
decision because he earned it by a
hard and aggressive fight.
This is what the gentleman has to
say concerning the fight:
Jimmy Britt won because he fought
a game, uphill fight against odds. Cor
bett claims that he was robbed. I do
not think so. If ever a man was en-
titled to the decision it was Britt. Cor
bett went in the ring under the i'm
preston that he was going to have
things his own way. He tried to use
all sorts of foul tactics on his oppon-
ent and bulldOzed him round after
round with his talk Britt kept his
head like little gentleman, and as
FAR as / know never said anything in
return to Corbett's vile remarks. In
the sixth or seventh round Britt frac-
tuFed his right hand. After that he
was IN great pain. He could not use
his right with any force, but at that he
gamely struggled on, and. l noticed
that 1t was he who struck the last
blow, and with his right hand at that.
As to the talk that Graney played Cor
bett unfair, I cannot see it at all. Cor
with him fighting in clinches and pre-
vented him from doing his best. Now,
that is not right. Whenever Graney
broke the men he interfered with Britt
more than with Corbett, because Brftt's
broken hand was the one the referee
would grab when he parted them. In
the clinches Britt fought for all he
was worth. He had Corbett holding on
and backing up most Of the time. Be
fore Britt injured his hand he soaked
Corbett some handles with the right,
and I think he would have come near
putting him out had he had two hands
to fight with. Then Britt was the ag-
gressOr. He forced the fighting round
after round. never saw such a de-
ternined young fellow in all my life.
] believe that had he broken both
hands he would have fought with the
same grit and determination that he
did with one hand gone.
Britt is a fighter, sure enough. He
has not received the credit due him,
and I do not think Corbett has maze
any friends by the way he has treated
his opponent since the fight. He should
come out like a man and acknowledge
defeat. He has made a bad play in
speaking so disrespectfully OF Referee
Graney, and the sports of san Fran
cisco will never forget him for it. I
heard a lot of stories about Corbett
since the fight. and among them was

the number of farmers having tele-

that the battle for the Championship was
probably fixed"

Corbett was looking for easy money IN
the Dave Sullivan fight. Britt baked and
refused to go on with the conqueror of
McGOvern. Politicians told Britt to go on,
that matters would turn out all right .
This, coupled with the criticism of the
Graney decision, Mckenna says. looks
significant.
Then Frank o. Green, a New York sport

received a mysterious telegram and as a
result went to the Arkansas club and 9TH

tIcally backed Britt off the boards, Nc

punish Corbett for spelling the Corbett-
