Britt and Sullivan.
James Edward Britt has again
proven to the sporting world that
he is the most marvellous boxer the
prize ring has ever produced. And
had he a punch, his name would go
down in history as the most wonder
full little fighter the ring has ever
known.
For 20 rounds he made a monke,
of the Washington lad, Kid Sulli-
van, who but a short time before had
bested Battling Nelson.
Britt hit Sullivan, by actual count,
over six to one in the rounds Sulli-
van showed any aggressive tactics
at all, and in those rounds in which
he purposely let Sullivan hit him he
outpointed the Kid. Britt started in
to meet the Washington boy at his
own game almost from the start,
and never was in danger.
Sullivan's blows always went wild,
while BIRTHS rang the bell every time
Had the go been to finish, Sullivan
would have worn himself out on the
champions defense. Those who saw
the fight say that two-thirds of Sull-
vans punches were parried and
blocked while the other third were
avoided by clever lodging
After the second round, in which
Britt made up his mind to let Sulli-
van carry the battle to him, Jimmie
never showed signs of nervousness
or anger. Even when Sullivan was
rushing him the hardest and had
him close to the ropes (the very
place the Kid wanted him), Britt did
not display tendency to get ratified.
In a manner that has no precedence
in the ring, he worked himself out
of every apparent difficulty.
And, in praise for Britt, we must
not overlook the work of Sullivan,
who, with a little more experience,
will be another Eddie Hanlon. He is
powerful, aggressive and endowed

RIFLE that KILLED
JOHN WILKES BOOTH

BOWLING GREEN, o., Avg. s.
The gun that avenged the death of
lectors would give a small fortune
for, is enjoying a peaceful old age
among its admirers in this county.
This gun, which is the rifle with
which Boston Corbett shot Wilkes
Booth after the assassination of
President Lincoln by Booth, is still
a serviceable arm, and bears few
marks to indicate the strenuous life
1t has led.
The weapon was one of the Henry

a long time in hunting trips. William
Strong, a captain of infantry, who
was a warm personal friend of Col
onel Conger, often accompanied the
colonel on these hunting trips, and
once carried the colonel 20 miles to
a settlement in the Wisconsin woods,
after deer had attacked and wound
ed the hunter.
After Conger's death Mrs. Conger
gave the weapon to Mr.. Strong, who
had been so intimate with the colo
mel. Mr.. Strong in turn gave 1t to

Receieed Tuesday by a Wis
Ting Young Lady.

Miss Bessie Anderson, who has
been the guest of Miss Lillian Gary
for some time, was greatly shocked
Tuesday on opening a telegram
which appraised her that her brother,
DR.. D. c. Anderson, had been taken
down with yellow fever. Since the
fever made its appearance at Tallu-
lah, La, the young physician had
been devoting his most earnest
efforts in attending to Ithe stricken.
The message came from Miss Ander-
sons mother who was in attendance
on her son, and is supposed to be
immune. The young physicians
father is at Hamburg, Miss, aiding
the stricken people there. Mr.. Geo.
E. Gary says that it would be I'M
wise for his daughters guest to go
to her brother and she will remain
here for the present.

Yesterday, is in some respects a most re-

The exact number of the women he
married will probably never be known,
but he is reported to have had more
than score of wives in the last ten
years. Seven Of this number he wed.

to have died under suspicious eircum-

murder Hoch vas sentenced to hang yes.
terday died of arsenical poinoning after Il
short illness, December 10, of last year.
Preceding her death he had obtained
from the woman all of her money, as
he had done in most of his previous mar
riages.
Five days after her death he married
her sister, Mrs. Emily Fisher, his asst
wife as far as the record shows now and
the day following the wedding he OBJ
tanned from her $50 to be used, he said,
in paying the mortgage on the furniture
and house where he lived. A day or two
later he disappeared and Mrs, Fisher.
Hoch reported to the police.

alleged marriages and crimes received
wide publicity and in various parts of
the country women were reported as
having been his victims.
