The seventh round showed Park
er the winner. Mullin went down
after he had received a few hard
ones on the kidneys and a right
upper cut. He did not get up at
the count of 10 although he was on
his feet fraction of second after
the count. The second time he
went down the blow did not reach
his jaw, but the force of Parker's
blow against Mullins glove sent
the Irishman to the mat When the
bell sounded. Mullin could not get
to his corner alone.
Mullin lost in the eighth. The
same thing happened as in the sew
enth. The force of Parker's blow
on Mullins hand sent him to the
floor, and he was counted out.

Connie Mack, now the famous

Hurst, the Parnell of the National

was playing off third base about
three feet, when Mack snapped the
ball to that bag to catch Vaughan.

with the result that he found the In

the treaty of 1855. This treaty placed
the line still further west and gave

making in all 367,S7s, acres of which
they had been deprived.
Just before leaving Washington for
the west Representative Jones called
on the commissioner of Indian affairs
in regard to the disputed line. Com
missioner Leupp previously had sug-
gested to the congressman that he in
troduce a bill with reference to the
64,O4l acres. the other 293,S37 acres
having been granted to the Indians by
Mr.. Jones' bill opening the reservation
to sale and entry, and to submit the
matter to the court of claims to de-
termine the rights of the Indians to
the land. After thinking over this sug-
gestiOn, Mr. Jones could not see any
reason for the introduction of the bill
and so assured the commissioner. The
congressman claimed the land office
already had recognized the right of the
Indians to this tract of land, and, as
it had power to rectify it's own error
and recognize the Indians title, this
part of the proposition really did not
require any legislation, although the
disposition of the lands would have to
be provided for by an act of congress.
He also said that there could not be
any question as to the rights of the
Indians, and the department could GER
tainly rescind any action it heretofore
had taken if no adverse rights had in
tervened, and that by recognizing the
rights of the Indians according to the
true boundary, as found by Mr.. Bar
nard, action in the court of claims
would be avoided, and the Indians
would be saved the payment of attor-
neys' fees etc.
The Indian office now has the mat
ter under consideration and expects
to render a decision within few days.

Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis says In

she met him in Concord in 1862 was
typical Yankee in appearance: The
tall gaunt man with the watchful, pa
tient face and slightly dazed eyes, his
hands clasped behind his back, that
came slowly down the shady village
street toward the Wayside that sum-
mer day was Uncle Sam himself in Ill
fitting brown clothes. l have often
wondered that none of his biographers
have noticed the likeness"
Emerson said to Mrs. Davis: Il wish
Thoreau had not died before you came.
He was an interesting study" She
asked why, and after moment he re-
piled: Henry often reminded me or
an animal in human form. He had the
eve of a bird, the scent of a dog, the
most acute, delicate intelligence, but
no soul. No." he repeated, shaking
his head with decision, Henry could
not have had human soul"
Mrs. Davis remarks on Hawthorne's
shvness and on his love of seclusion.

WHITMAN ATHLETES WILL TRY
CONCLUSIONS WITH THE
STATE COLLEGE
Missionary Team Is an Exceptionally
Strong One This Year-Records
May Be Smashed.

The Whitman college track team left
this morning to open the track season
in the Inland Empire by a meet with
the Washington State college at Pull
man. Although handicapped by the
loss of some good men, still the team
is probably equal to any that the Mis-
sionaries ever sent to the enemy's
country.
Captain James Hill thinks the team
is in good shape and stands an even
show to win. If Whitman wins this
meet it will be the first track meet
she has ever won. Manager Harold
Eells says the boys are going to bring
back some of those tempting little gold
medals which Pullman has offered for
firsts.
Captain James Hill is probably the
star man of the team, with David
| Graham best all-around man. Hill
did the quarter in 50 seconds last year,
and is the best quarter man Wnitman
has ever had. He will also run in the
100 and 200 yard dashes Friday.
! Graham, "Old Dave" as the boys
call him, is a veteran who has seen
nearly half a dozen seasons on the
path. He will enter the half mile ana
probably the relay of the runs. In
weights, he will be point winner IN
tne hammer throw, shotput and dis
Gus. The pole vault is his speciality,
however. as he skins over 10 feet like
a bird.
Another vaulter is Abe Holdman OF
the academy. Although this is his
first year, he too, can clear ten feet
! without dropping the bamboo. He
also has developed a good record in
the high jump making five feet three
inches. Besides these events ne will
enter the broad jump.
| Alpha Cox is an allround star. He
is the best sprinter in the school, do
ing the hundred in 10 3-5 seconds, and
hurting the discuss over 100 feet. He
| will also enter the 220 yard dash.
| For the shotput James Lyman is the
best man in Whitman, putting it over
| the 35 mark readily.
| Eugene Leonard is an athlete OF
! whom much is expected in TINS meet.
He is broad jumper, and good at
hurdles, and, vault and high jump.
r Fancher is the man on whom
the Missionaries are building their
homes of getting a place in the mile
run. He won in the interschoiastlc
meet here last year and his time Is
now about minutes fiat.
John Lymans speciality is hurdllng'
and Tommy butcher, the basebali
nlaver is also a good discuss man.
The relay team will consist of Hill,
Cox, Graham and Fancher.
The trained team will go under the
charge of Roy F. Wolfe 'O7, assistant
manager. and will return to Walia
| Walla Saturday afternoon. The whole
team has been invited by the junior
class of Pullman to their annual
prom which takes place Friday even

Clearly the characters of the tele-
graphic code were made. Those who
knew how weak the boy was marveled
at his strength. They called in a tel
egraph operator, and he read the rap
pings. Again and again the same mes
sage was repeated.
Come home, father or it will be
too late"
Later, the end came and the mother
felt that she must renew the search
for the missing man, which had been
abandoned in the belief that he was
dead.
Mr.. Crerand had left home to go to
San Francisco to look up the estate of
wealthy aunt, believing he had an
interest in it. Daily his wife received
with expressions of devotion to his
wife and family.
Then came a letter which was writ
ten in a scrawl. 1t read:
MY brain is on fire. I am burning
up inside. Oh. what torture! What
will become of me? If anything should
happen I have my name and address
IN my pocket book"
The wife, alarmed, waited for an
other. letter, but none came. Weeks
and months went by. She consulted
the chief of police of Camden and this
city. Influential friends caused the
postoffice to try and help find Crerand.
But no tidings came of the missing
man.
Traced by Handwriting
1t was learned that her husband had
been selling books for a Cleveland pub
fishing house. This concern said it
had received an order from Seattle,
Wash, from a person who signed him.
self "a. Man." A specimen of the
handwriting showed a resemblance to
that of Mr.. Crerand.
A correspondent in Seattle found
Man. There was then no longer any
question but that ne was Crerand.
He said he had no recollection of
mis- past life. He did not remember
his wife or children or of having ever
been in Camden.
Il do not know who 1 am he said,
my mind as to my past is a blank.
All I know is that l found these books
in my room. 1 sold them quickly and
wrote to the publisher for more.
didn't seem to have a name, and so
called myself A. Man."
Crerand disappeared again before he
was seen a second time.
Physicians at Evansville, Ind, be-
placed in a sanitarium but without re-
suits.
Mrs. Crerand was urged to take a
5-year- old daughter and go to Evans
vile. She readily found her husband,
but the blank look of her face told her
he didn't know her. Then he looked
at his daughter. She ran to his arms.
Child Awakens Memory
Latent memory was stirred and Gre
rand began to recall events in his past
life. Then, like a flash, he recoilected
everything. But with the recovery of
his memory he forgot nearly every
event of the last two years. He was
anxious to go nome.
When seen at his home, sos Haddon
avenue, Mr.. Crerand related all that
had happened before his memory
lapsed.
Il recall he said, "eating and drink
ing at my hotel in San Francisco with
man 1 met. Later I became sick ana
felt depressed, and I believed 1 would
die. I wrote my wife the letter she re-
ceived and that is all 1 know.
You tell me that 1 am in certain
places afterwards, but 1 cannot recall
that"
When Mr.. Crerand left home his
hair was black. 1t is now snowy white.
