sHARkEY QUITS FIGHTING GAME.
He Says Jeff" Is Is No Danger o,
Losing the Championship.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-"Every
fighter has a time in his career when
he is at his best. He fears no one then
and fights in topnotch form. I appre-
ciate the fact that have seen my day
and will never appear in the ring
again.
Tom Sharkey, who has never quailed
before the best fighters, and the only
man who ever stood Jeffries off for
twenty-five rounds, has retired from
the ring. The ex-marine has just re-
covered from an attack of typhoid fe-
yer.
II know my best days are over"
said Sharkey, today, in announcing his
retirement, land although I feel good
and it seems as though I could fight as
good as ever, 1 know that I'm not
there. After my fight with Munroe 1
knew that 1 had gone back.
I'm satisfied with my record. None
of these fellows ever gave Jeff the
fights l gave him. They may all be
great men, but I have yet to see the
man who has gone the limit with ilim
and have a close decision given. I've
lost fights, too; yes, but l have no kick
coming.
do I think there is a chance of JEFF
fries ever losing his title? No, sir; not
only one they have in view now is

When Bill Hickock Was Marshal.

A gambler and bully named Phil
Cole, who had acquired some reputa
tlon IN Texas as a man-killed, and
who had been drinkink heavily in the
hope Of raising his courage to the
point where he could make good his
frequent threats against Wild Bill. took
shot at Hickock as the marshal was
leaning against table in saloon, says
Outing. Wild Bill offered a fair mark.
but such was Coles trepidation that
his shot went wide Instantly one of
Hickock's guns spoke, and Cole
dropped to the sidewalk with a bullet
in his abdomen. Rushing into the
street, Wild Bill stood over the pros
trate body of his foe Footsteps were
heard and the marshal saw the CLINT of
a gun in someone's hand. Knowing
that Coles supporters had sworn to
kill him at the first opportunity, and
thinking that the approaching individ-
ual was one of the Texans, Wild Bill
fired both revolvers 1t was a famous
trick of his, this shooting right and
left from the waist line, and never did
this marvellous marksman miss his aim
with either hand. This time he
dropped his man, with two bullet
wounds in the breast, so close together
that they could be covered with the
palm of a mans hand. The man who
was shot proved to be Mike McWil-
liams, a deputy marshal of Abilene and
one of Wild Bills best friends. Wild
Bill never got over his remorse at kill
ing McWilliams, and he showed his
grief so plainly that the people let him
continue as marshal, though there was
some murmuring against man who
made such fatal mistakes.

cargoes. Petitions for action by the
government were unavailing, and on
July II, 1885, Martin and party of
friends invaded the Mormon camps,
burned buildings and killed several of
the colonists in the battle that fol-
settlement, although the strength of
the colony was broken.
Martin was then living at ST James,
being the captain and part owner of
the schooner Mary Jane. In the fol-
lowing fall while cruising about the
islands, his ship was overtaken by a
heavy gale and was forced to take ref
uge in the harbor of the Strangites.
With the attack upon them by Marin
and friends but a few months before
still fresh in their memory, the Nor
mons We're Overjoyed when Martin
and his brothers were thrown upon
their shore. The two men were taken
before the leader and it was ordered
that they be cast adrift upon the wind
ward side of the island in an open
boat. For two days the men were driven
back and forth across the straits, con-
trary to the expectations of the Nor
mons that the boat would captize
quickly, until at last they succeeded in
making landing at Mackinac.
From that time Martin and his
friends were even more determined
that the MOrmOns must be driven from
the Beaver islands. So persistent was
the warfare that three years later,
MOrmOnism in the upper peninsula of
Michigan were disrupted and Strang
and few of his followers were forced
to flee for their lives. Strang himself

Jack London So Declares In a Recent
Article to the Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov IA
Jack London, author of the Call of the
Wild and one of the worlds greatest
authorities on socialism, writes con-
corning the election:
The only people surprised by the
heavy socialist vote throughout the
United States, are the democrats and
the republicans. The socialists knew it
all the time. Their campaign is twelve
months long and they have a campaign
every year, wherefore it was to be ex-
pected they should know what was
coming. -
However, during the last several
weeks of the campaign professional
politicians began to awaken to some
thing, they did not know what, that
was in the air. Never in their expe-
rience had they witnessed mass meet
lngs with charge for admission and
II was beyond their imagination to
conceive of such mass meetings being
damned to the doors with overflow
meeting taking place in the streets
and near by halls.
Hanna was, possibly the only old
party politician who saw clearly the
socialistic trend.
The next great issue this country

THREE MURDERS AND EIGHT AS.
SAULTs COMMITTED BY UN.
KNOWN BRUTE.
Eleven Women Have Been Attacked
Within a Radius Of Half Mile
Of Graveyard.

| CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 14.-Hor-

fearful crimes committed by the wild

made for effective action by the au-
| thorities when it became known yester-
| day that three other women had been
attacked. Almost all dwellers in that
place are convinced one man has COM
! mitted the three unspeakable murders
! and eight savage assaults that have
made women living within miles of the
graveyard afraid to leave their homes
without protection even in broad day
light. Eleven women have been at
tackled in radius of half mile of the
burial ground haunted by the maniac
or degenerate, yet the police have made
no arrest.
There is talk of forming a commit
tee of public safety to put volunteer
vigilantes on the trail of the GRIMM
al. An appeal to the governor may be
made.
Mrs. Harry C. Wirnes is the latest
victim. That she escaped death or
worse fate was due to the fact that her
husband returned home unexpectedly.
She answered a loud knock on the
front door of her home last night, and
was confronted by a short man, who
asked in a surly tone for food. The
stranger pretended to leave the prem
ises when she declined to feed him. but
instead he slipped to the rear door and
hid behind. it. Mrs. WINES started
to the back yard AS she crossed the
threshold the man bounced on her and
seized her throat in an iron grip.
She struggled, but he was slowly
bending her back across his knee. his
powerful hands steadily squeezing the
breath out of her body, when his clutch
on her throat slipped and she uttered
a piercing scream. Mr.. WINES had re-
turned and heard his wife's cry. He
snatched up gun and started to his
Wlfe's aid. The womans assailant
