FINDS SLED LOAD OF WILLING WOMEN ChaS. Head Wins Prize for
 Biggest Load BROUGHT IN FQRTY-ElGHT Says the Greatest Trouble Was In Getting Them Ready In Time
 to Take Five Mile
 Drive.
BROUGHT IN FOR1Y-ElGHT

Clarence Mo-, February S-(Special.)- The interesting spectacle of a sled load of women driven by one lonely man brought out a crowd of something like one thou sand on the streets of Clarence.
 The sight of sleigh full of women has been common enough in Clarence this winter because sleighing has been good and women enjoy the sport as well as men, The old thin gabout this crowd was the tenacity with which the women held to each other to keep from falling off the big hay rack and the tremendous exertions of the four horses when start ing.
 Forty-Eieht Women in Sled.
 There were forty-eight women in the sled, and they had been hanging on with teeth and toenail" for a ten mile jour ney across the snow drifts, The man who handled the lines-Charles Head, a farmer living near Auabel Macon coun- ty-when he alghted from amid this gen. tie crowd of humanity and spread out to normal proportions again, said he felt as though he had been in a cider press
 As a reward for this sufferings and his work of rounding up a half hundred wo- men he was given a barrel of flour. Sev- eral other farmers entered the contest to see who could round up the most wo- men, but the best Of them only had a beggarly cargo of thirty-eight.
 As each sled arrived in town it was greeted with cheers by the waiting citi- zens. Nearly all the other stores were deserted that day while the excitement was on at the store originating the unique advertising scheme. here were no conditions to purchase enjoined upon the visitors. The sole requirement. was that the man producing the female ex- hibits should be farmer living at least five miles back in the country and that his passengers should be women over the age of twenty. After the sleds had all arrived and the women had warmed themselves at the stoves, they resumed their positions on the sleds. which were formed in a procession, and there was a parade around town headed by the local band.

PUGS
MAKE REAL MONEY

That there is good money for the sue
cessfuI fighter-ooe who can defend his
title against all comers-is shown by the
fat purses that Jimmy Britt and Jack
O Brien carried off during the past year.
withstanding the fact that boxing
is limited to only a few States. and only
one in which twenty round bouts are
permitted, Jimmy Britt won $3.50 out
of the few battles in which he took part
during the past twelve months.
In his bout with Corbett, on Ma ech .,
he received 50, 800. He got $500 for his
match with Cans in October, and won
IS $50 by defeating Nelson His twelve
weeks theatrical tour it is estimated
netted him ST, 600, while his wagers easily
tOtaled 5000.
All of Britt's fights three in number,
took place in san Francisco, and were
limited TO twenty rounds each All Of
them proved good drawing cards.
Jack O Brien took part IN many more
battles than Britt; still his winnings
only amount TO 1900. In many of his
battles OBrien was considered so far
superior to his opponents that there was
not the interest taken in the contests
there would have been otherwise
