As Sharkey plunged forward Munroe

1t Is seldom Siler leaves himself omen to

last Sunday when he set out to hand
Jack Munroe a bunch of talkfas: from
the shoulder
Sler was out with the hammer good
and strong when Munroe shot into
prominence in this city year ago.
Siler proclaimed Munroe's reign as a
meteoric one, and predicted a fading
away the first time the miner tackled
any Of the big ones Of the east. Mum
roe was not much worried by what the
veteran writer said about him, and
neither were his friends.
When Munroe took on Peter Maher
he was called very rude boy for mis-
treating veteran of Peters caliber.
His next go with Limerick was to be a
real go. a decisive one. and then Mr..
Siler, together with the rest of the
effete east would nerve out Of Limerick
in less time than it takes to tell the
story. and Tom O'Rourke was upbraid-
ed for putting such dub as Limerick
on the market.
Then for Sharkey. Here was a real
socdologer of a scrap and the miner
made good. Even Siler was willing to
accord Munroe little credit and threw
few bouquets his way. calling him
good material, a conner and various
other understanding appellations.
Now listen to this:
Looking Munroe's record over we
find he is the weakest champion as
pirant that has even been foisted on
the American public. He might fur

ever, through the issuance Of war
rant, which was placed in the hands OF
detectives who are searching for the
property which is valued at many
thousands Of dollars. The search war
rant enumerates. among other things
stolen. two gorgeous fans Of carved
ivory and Duchess lace. They were i'm

of the ants they imported from Guate-
mala at so much care and expense in
the hope of exterminating the boil
weevil, which is infesting the Texas
cotton fields with such dire results.
The ants mysteriously disappeared
last night.
Whether this was due to climatic
causes or to the formation of the soil
is not known. 1t is known. however,
that the farmers in the vicinity of
Washington Heights, where the ants
were kept. objected to their intro
duction into that community, but
there is no proof that they are respon-
sible for the disappearance of the In
