WILL NOT FIGHT CANS.
Britt Gives His Reasons and Scores the
Chocolate Fighter.

San Francisco, Feb 2O.-RepIying to
the allegations of Joe Cans that the
fight between himself and James Britt
in this city in 1904 was a fake affair,
Britt says:
Cans statement that the Britt-Gans
fight was fixed is nothing new as he
has, by covert hint and innuendo, many
times before intimated that the go was
a fake. I characterize such a state
ment as a lie and a most contemplate
lie, at that
4 stand on my record as a man in
this community and as a fighter before
the world against Cans and I ask the
public to judge accordingly. I suppose
that this open declaration from Cans
is a move by him to force me to fight
him again. I viii never fight Joe Cans
again. I might possibly have considered
a return match before-but now, never.
He has killed any chance he ever had
of a return match.

A WRONG STATEMENT
Chapman High school officials Show
Clear skirts.
Chapman. kan. Feb 10.

CHAPMAN. Kan. Feb 19.
To the Editor of The State Journal;
In Fridays edition of The State Journal
appeared an article from Chapman Kan
sas, purporting to give the conditlon OF
affairs in the Dickinson county high
school but in reality giving the preju-
diced opinion of one whose sins are al
most too heavy to bear.
The truth of the matter is that the
school is enjoying one of the most pros
porous years of its history. The enroll
ment is greater than ever before and the
faculty is as strong, if not stronger, than
any previous one.
The students. as a whole have the
greatest respect and admiration for their
Instructors.
In conclusion wish to state that the
article above mentioned is mallcloqsly
false in every particular and intended to
injure the Dickinson county high school.
7 trust that you viii see your way clear
10 make the proper explanation to your
readers. Yours truly,

County Superintendent Dickinson co. and

CHECKNIATE FRIsCo's MOVE.
Santa Fe Is Fighting to Retain Pan
handle Mail.

DtlfGlS MILL
Wichita. Kan. Feb. 2O.=By discon-
tinuing its station at Award on the
Panhandle line, the Santa Fe hopes to
checkmate the action of the Frisco in
it's attempt to capture the Panhandle
mail from st. Louis over their line as
far as Award where they turn it over
to the Santa Fe for the towns further
on down the line.
The Frisco had the advantage over
the Santa Fe as long as the Santa Fe
station was maintained a Award, but
now that the Santa Fe has decided to
discontinue its Office there, the mail
will still be retained by the Santa Fe
at least as far up the line this way as
Wellington.
The Santa Fe will erect mail crane
to pick up the mail from Award. This
they will be compelled to do. The
new time card of the Rock Island will
place the St. Louis mail into Yelling
ton ahead of the Santa Fe's time. 1t is
very likely the Santa Fe will lose the
St Louis mail as far as Wellington
unless it places in service as good a
schedule as the Rock Islands.
Between the Rock Island and the
Frisco, the Santa Fe is kept busy
checkmating the many moves made by
the two other roads Up to this time
the Santa Fe has about held its own
with the exception of the California
business. It failed to capture the
California mail from the Rock Island
in the recent speed trials but is
brought about a compromise that
did not in5ure the Santa F'e while on
the company. The future actions of
these three roads will be awaited with
interest by the public interested in the
service of these roads.

The enrolment during his time has been

and the class of 1906 has not lost a mem

previous ones. The standards of the work
have been materially raised. The princi-

high grade faculty with which his rela-
lions are entirely harmonious.

ALMOST sCALPED BY ENGINE.
1t Takes 81 stitches to Fix Up Jose
Naumpa's Head.

Naumpa's Head.
Trinidad. Col, Feb 20.-struck by
a Santa Fe switch engine and knocked
thirty or forty feet and still living to
tell about it, has been the experience.
which Jose Naumpa. residing at
AguiIar, near here, went through the
other morning. He was at Lynn sta
ton and stepped off the main track to
avoid a passenger train and did not
notice a switch engine coming down
the side track. He stepped directly in
front of this engine which was going
at a fair rate of speed and was thrown
some distance from the tracks. The
trainmen and others who witnessed
the accident. expected that Naumpa
was surely killed. as his head and
face were covered with blood and he
presented frightful appearance when
he was picked UP unconscious. The
man was found to be still alive and
was placed on board an incoming
freight train, brought to San Raphael
hospital and attended by the company
physician, John r. Espey.
Naumpa was nearly scalped and it
was necessary for the physician to
make fifty-seven stitches in his scalp
and face to sew up the wounds.
Naumpa was also injured and
bruised about the body and it IS hard
to tell q 1t this time the exact extent of
his injuries Indications are that he
is injured internally and that it will be
necessary to await developments.

scalps would like to attach one more to
