Tombstone. Arizona, wen Named.

The people familiar with the history
of Tombstone, Ariz., are inclined to
believe that there is something In a
name. Tombstone in 1873 became the
center of attraction in Arizona to the
pioneer prospectors when the first
mines were opened up at that point.
The population quickly increased to
over 5000 and it became the center
of mining activity In the Southwest.
The last census gave the population
as 400. The mines are worked out
and the population has drifted away
to more prosperous camps. Therefore
the town has indeed come to merit its
name, for 1t marks the burial spot
of many blasted hopes.
Many another Western mining town
has had the same history, though few
have so aptly told It to the world in
their titles.

round particularly Corbett was in bad
shape. Russell had battered him all
around the ring and it was only by
clever ring generalship that he man
aged to stay the round out. Russell
was coming at him hard and then Cor
bett brought his wits into play. In
order to keep INK from hitting him in

saying, "that was the time you near

right" don't you put another one on
my jaw like that or will be all out. -
This sort Of talk fooled Unk and he
thought that Corbett was really afraid
Of getting hit on the jaw and instead Of
punching him in the stomach he smashed
and banged away at Corbett IS face and
head. The willy Denver lad, seeing that
Russell was banging at his jaw, covered
it with his glove as INK would strike at
him and, of course, the blows would not
land. Corbett cam talk without making
much lip movement, and many of those
close to the ring even did not hear the
line Of talk that he was giving to Rus
