Courted Her With His Fist

Every has his way of counting and every

John Prince of New York had his way. He courted
Nellie Thomas with his fist
John loved Nellie He annoyed her by his perfervd
ways She had him arrested. He was put under bonds
to keep the peace for six months.
Johns love famed high at the end of his probation.
One day he discovered Nellie walking with another
The man fled at Johns dire approach. Then John knock
ed Nellie down with his fist.
The end of it,
No. indeed. Nellie went to the court where John was
made to appear for assault and begged the Judge let
him go, saying she would marry him and keep him out
OF further trouble.
Surely faint heart fair lady
Way back in the stone age primeval woed his
mate with club. In the brave days of early Rome wives
carried off horseback And the Cossack
slyy steals his bride from her clan And in all these
instances far history goes, these "lived happily
afterwards
Woman is and therefore to be won--somehow,
anyhow.
Decent men who treat their wives decently often
wonder at the clngng sort of wife who will appear at
the police court with backened eyes and beg for the
release of brutal husband, and who will go loving
the beast that beats her.
To woman that sort of may be king
mores the pity.

She Loved Him So

Mrs Carrie Josslyn of Mason, Michigan says she killed
her husband because he did not love her enough.
She poisoned the with slow poison. She says
she watched him day by day he slowly sank into the
grave and she felt she doing godd thing in sending
him there.
She also says she loved Mr. joss YIN with all of her
heart
Who can doubt it?
These women who kill their husbands and husbands
who kill their wives all say that. They consumed
with love for their victims
Ony-it is strange kind of love. 1t is particularly
selfish sort of love.
One would say if the love unsefish these lovers
if any killing to be done-would kill themselves.
No doubt Mrs. Joss yn loved her husband

WRESTLING MATCH

When Dune Mcmillan won the hard
fought victory over the Indian chief,
Two Feathers, he firmly established
himself with the Spokane sporting
fraternity as a good, hard working,
honest wrestler.
Because of this McMillan's match
with Ole Marsh February will draw
a good house. Marsh is a big, strong
man and is likely to give Mcmillan
a hard tussle for win, but there
are plenty of hackers of the Scotch
man who have money that says the
Swedish man can't do the trick.
The match is for $1,000 as a side
bet, best two out of three. John
Swartz of Harrington and c. T. Irby
of Ritzville will go on in the prelims.
Swartz is the man who wrestled with
Jack O'Neill.
Joe Heinrich, the athletic club
wrestler, and Joe Pickel of Harring-
ton will wrestle for a gold medal.

Shy in His Record.
Willie Lewis has gained a lot of
popularity through his defeat of Ca
mole in 10 rounds and his challenge
to meet Jimmy Britt. Lewis has done
nothing to warrant him this. There
are at least a half dozen men who
come in ahead of him. Aside from
his quick victory over Candle and his
1O-round draw with Willie Fitzgerald,
he has done nothing to speak Of Will
( lie Gardner knocked him out in two
rounds. and so did Sam Langford, Joe
Tipman and Rufe Turner. Hughy
McF7adden knocked Lewis out in nine
rounds.
What claim does this give Lewis
alongside of Jimmy Gardner, who
has never been knocked down in his
life, and who has a record as brill
liant as any of the present day pugs?
He has defeated some Of the very
best men in the world at his weight.
His knockout list includes such men
as Buddy Ryan, Jack O'Keefe, F'itz-
gerald and Mike Memsic, along with
many others. Taking the records in
consideration, a bout between Britt
and Jimmy would attract as much
attention as any battle between little
men, and then it would prove a great
money-getter.

lost laurels in the second battle, you
will realize what it means.
On the other hand, Corbett has a
pretty good idea of the fighting
prowess of the Dane, and where he
neglected his work before he will now
buckle down to business He realized
earlier than most fighters that the
pace that kills" will never keep one
at the top in the squared circle And
then, Corbett is entertaining a hope
of reestablishing himself in favor

Won Battle for Shadow.
There was one battle in my early
career that l shall never forget. 1t
was with Joe Choynski on a barge on
Benecia bay. Choynski was seconded
by that great ring general, Jack
Dempsey. The battle went 27 rounds
and with a broken hand I mana ed
to win. and it is interesting to learn
how / did it.
The barge on which we fought was
drawn out into the bay A small
lookout house, built up from the
barge, produced the only shady spot
on the broad, fiat space that was COW
cred with spectators. The spot struck
the ring nearest my corner, and
naturally thought l was entitled to
all of it. The sun was beating down
so that even the boards seemed baked,
and the rosin sizzled under our feet.
The first few rounds went at ter
rife pace. We had been enemies for
some time. and on three former oc-
casions / had won from ole. He at
this time was at his best. / had
very little the best of him, and we
were both firing rapidly under the
scorching sun. Finally, about the
twelfth or fifteenth round, I hit upon
the scheme of getting in the shade
1t was just big enough to protect me
from the rays of Old Sol, and you
bet 1t was a great relief. Dempsey
was quick to discover my tactics and
informed ole that unless he could
keep me out of the spot and stay
there himself he would be a defeated
man.
The contest with the idea Of land
ing a knockout punch suddenly
switched to that of shadow tag.
was a shade shiftier than Joe and
won out. Had 1 lost a hold on that
spot then there would have been no
other outcome for me than defeat

changed the course of a battle. this
probably was the most unique.

this same spot, with the sun beating
down, but no tower to shade him,

AGAINST GRAND DUKE,

LONDON, Jan. 31.--An incident
illustrating the present temper of the
Russian people is related by an Eng
lish traveller just returned from st.
Petersburg. The incident occurred in
a leading theater of the Russian capt.
tai. At a recent performance a grand
duke was seated in one of the boxes.
At his side was a lady friend, who
drew the attention of all present by
the magnificence of her jewels. Sud-
denly, during a pause in the piece,
a man in the stalls stood up, and,
pointing to the grand duke in the
box, called out: Arrest the thief who
has stolen the money that has been
collected for our sick and wounded,
and has covered that person with
jewels out of the proceeds of his dis
honesty" At this, so the eyewitness
relates, there was a terrible uproar.
The police were called, but could do
little to restore order, and the grand
duke and his friend had to leave the
theater,
