GIVEN FITTING MONUMENT
Celtic Cross Marks Resting Place of
Rev. w. p. LauriauIt.

Rev. w. p. LauriauIt.
A most beautiful and fitting monu-
ment has been erected over the grave
of the late Rev. w. F. Lauriault, who
died Nov. 8, last year, while serving as
assistant pastor of Sacred Heart
church in this city. The monument.
which was placed in the German Cath
Ole cemetery last week. is one of the
most unique in the three cities, and
was erected by Rev. ]. F. Lockney.
rector of the Sacred Heart church as a
fitting memorial of the faithful young
priest who assisted him in the direc-
ton of the church work. The monu-
ment is of Barre. tVern1onD granite
and is in the shape of a Celtic cross.
1t stands about seven and a half feet
high, and in the center of the circle
surrounding the junction of the arms
with the upright, is the monogram of
the Latin letters. /. H. s., Jesus Saw
Tor of Men" The inscription on the
monument is short and simple, as was
the life of the young priest. 1t reads:
Rev Wilfrid P Lauriault Died Nov.
8. 1904. Rest in Peace" The Celtic
cross is one of the most common de-
signs of the monuments TO be found in
the cemeteries of Ireland. but in the
three cities there is only the one.

Tracks at Twenty-Second

A man was picked up this afternoon
near the c.. B. & Q. switch tracks on
Twenty-second street, with one foot
cut off by a switch engine. No one
knows when he was injured, and at
the time he was found he was almost
exhausted from the loss of blood. He
was assisted from the tracks, and the
ambulance called. AT St. Anthony's

limb was dressed.

GIRL ON HIS LAP.
That Was What Got Jacob Bur.
kett, of AndaIusia, into
Trouble.
HER FATHER CAME ON SCENE
But Now the Latter is Under $50 Bonds
to Keep Peace Till Cold
Weather

Jacob Burkett. of Andalusia. aged Is,
appears TO have been indiscreet. At
least. that is what Hiram Ruby thought
when he entered the kitchen of the
Ruby home in Andalusia one day last
week, and found his daughter. aged Il.
sitting on Burkett's lap. To teach the
young man lesson the father seized
the lad and threw him down and. it is
alleged. reached for his jack knife.
Here the daughter Loyalty came to the
rescue. and there was no blOodshed.
out Mr. Ruby got his revolver and
marched young Burkett down town in
broad daylight and held him prisoner,
while he telephOned for the sheriff to
come down and take care of him.
The sheriff advised the irate gentle
nan that there was no charge upon
which the young man could be held and
ii was accordingly necessary for the
latter to be released. This was done.
but not before he had been given such
a definite understanding of the cOnse-
quences should he ever again come
fooling around that he became fright
ened and began action to have his
sweetheart's father put under bonds
to keep the peace.
Tried In Milan.
The case was tried before Justice
Pinkley in Milan yesterday afternoon.
The justice of the peace at Andalusia
happened to be on his summer vaca-
ton. so it was necessary to go abroad.
Nearly all Andalusia was in court.
States Attorney Scott represented the
young man and the state and Mayor
G.. w McCaskrin defended the father.
After some 20 witnesses had been eX-
amined. the court placed the father in
$50 bonds to keep the peace for six
months, the security being furnished.
OF course, the costs are assessed
against Ruby. and they are consider
able. as all the witnesses are entitled to
their fees and mileage.

SAYS LOUISVILLE BOY WILL

HIS IDEA OF HEAVYWEIGHTS
Veteran Trainer Thinks kentuekian
viii Eventually Get Coveted
Title-Fiehter Who Make
Cutters Quit

Billy Delaney, the veteran trainer,
who brought both Jim Corbett and Jim
Jeffrles to the front as worlds cham
pions, says that the sports nowadays
have the wrong idea Of heavyweight
pugilists.
"I have noticed" says Delaney, that
people nowadays look for the biggest
man they can find, and say, 'Ah, here
is a great man. he ought to be a
worlds Champion They figure that
size alone makes great man and
that If he is game he should certainly
make great man. That is the wrong
idea altogether and ring records prove
1t so.
"Just look back thirty years, say
when Jem Mace was on top. In his
prime Mace only tipped the beam at
160 pounds and he was a great man.
All of our best fighters have been un-
der 1856 pounds. Jim Corbett weighed
only 10 when he was at the top of
the bunch. Fitzsimmons never weighed
more than that at any time in his
career and Sharkey, although not a
champion, only weighed 1856. Why,
look at Sullivan, the great man that
he was. John L. in shape invariably
hit the scales about 1856 or so.
ITS the same thing with this fellow
Hart. People think him too small to
compete for the title. Why, that boy
Is a giant compared to the other men
that Jeff has met in his time. Hart
is bigger and heavier than any one of
them excepting Rubin, and think he
is the coming man, even though he has
few years before him. l saw Hart
three years ago when he was mere
middleweight and 1 said at the time
that he would be fighting for the
heavyweight championship some day.
In condition he tips the beam at 1876
pounds and is almost six feet tall.
You can't ask for much more in a
heavyweight.
Jeff is an exception in his class.
Years ago sports thought men over 200
would be slow, and they never con-
sidered them as champions. Jeff kind
of killed this feeling, and has proven
himself faster than the lighter ones.
He is truly a wonder and we won't
get over it until he's beaten, if this
ever happens. Hart, in my mind, is
entitled to a bunch of credit in beat

OCCIDENTAL TEAM WILL
MEET THE ST. VlNcENT'S

The athletic management of Occi-
dental college characterizes as COM
pletely without foundation the report
that they would not play the scheduled
game with st. Vincent's college Satur-
day. Manager Goodell declares that the
Occidental team will be ready to keep
their engagement Saturday afternoon
and they have no intention of throw
ing down st. Vincent's" as some seer
has predicted.
The Presbyterians are at a loss to
understand the rumor that they do not
intend to open the collegiate baseball
season Saturday and are not so sure
that the Catholics will have things all
their own way.

ST. vINCENT'S
DEFEAT PREPS
CATHOLICS WIN FROM HIGH
SCHOOL SPHERE CHASERS
SQUADS PLAY FAST BALL
College Men Unable to Bring More
Than One Player Around the
Sacks-Hlgh school Has
Crack Team

The baseball team of st. Vincents
college defeated the nine from the Los
Angeles high school yesterday after
noon in a fast and snappy game at
Fiesta park by the close score of to
0. The preparatory school boys went
on the field with the expectation of
playing the st. Vincent's second team,
but as they had defeated that team
once before Coach Haggerty decided to
pit his first nine against the high school
lads. In local college baseball circles
it has been thought that the Catholic
school would be represented by a team
that would win championship honors in
a walk. 1t was even conceded that St
Vincents second team would have lit
tie trouble in defeating most of the
local collegiate varsity squads.
When the manager of the high
school team saw the result of yester-
days game he tried to make arrange
ments for another game with Hag-
gerty's sluggers, but the collegians did
not DEAN it wise to schedule any more
games with the blue and white team.
The high school boys are of the opin-
ion that were they given another
whack at st. Vincent's the result would
be slightly to their advantage.
The result of yesterdays game shows
that the prep school has a crack nine
and should endeavor to secure games
with the fastest teams of the south.
Following was the teams lineup:
