HERMAN GETS
JOB AS MINER
Works With a Vengeance
and Then Tells Men
Who He Is.
JEFF TO Be REFEREE
Arena Is Finished and viii Easily
Seat 10000 People-Ticket
Sale Begins.

Tonopah. New, Dec. 1S.-Kfd Herman
started his days work with a splurge
that made the fight fans of Tonopah
look up with amazement Instead of
going out on the road in the ordinary
way, he changed his tactics and gave
everyone a thrill as to what he was go
ing to do next
Leaving his training quarters, Chi
cago's pride trotted over to where three
men were digging in the side Of a hill
and applied for a job. Being a good,
husky boy, the three miners concluded
that the stranger would be a handy
lad to have around and gave him the
job.
Throwing off his coat, Herman went
to work and was soon tossing the dirt
right and left with vengeance. After
two hours Of labor the Kid told the
miners who he was. and while they ap
preciated the joke, they were loath to
lose their new hoy
Herman then returned to the train
ing quarters and took a shower and
rub down. After this he went to lunch
and rested up until 2 o'clock, when he
entered his training quarters, where he
found about four hundred enthusiastic
followers of the game waiting for him.
The Kid quickly put on his lighting
togs and went to it with Adam Ryan,
who is matched for the preliminary
with Lew Powell. The bout of four
rounds was highly exciting and or
more than one occasion there was ap-
plause for the two men.
The question of referee will be set
tied once for all tomorrow, when Nate
Lewis and Manager Mike Riley of the
Casino Athletic club get together. Cans
says that he doesn't care who is the
third man in the ring and that he will
accept Siler, Jefries, Graney, WEIGH
Masterson or any other man.
The arena is practically finished and
is one Of the best ever erected. 1t is
roomy and comfortable and viii easily
seat 10000 people. Manager Riley is
drilling his ushers as to locations t.
seats and sections, and no trouble will
be experienced in every man having
his seat.
1t is said that Jeffries has been de
cided upon to referee the big fight
This information was impaired by jos
Cans to friend in Chicago, when the
dusky champion telegraphed that the
parties had chosen the worlds champ
ion.
There was expected to be much dis
cussion on the referee question, but
both fighters and their manager.
agreed that Jeffries would be the bes
man for the position.

CHILLY WEATHER BAD FOR
FAVORITES; HELPS OUTSIDERS
Big Surprise Came when Lucky Charm,
40 to 4, Beat Potheen, so to I, BY a
Head and BokISies shiver.

New Orleans, La, Dec. 1s.-In the
nipping air which caused racegoers to
wear wraps and the bookmakers fur
lined overcoats today, favorites lost
their speed at the City park track, and
only one finished in front. Five out
siders at long odds. won.
1t was a bad day for hackers of form.
The only first choice who rewarded his
hackers was Sir Toddington, who won
the fourth race. Sir Todding's success
was the one CLEAN OF sunshine in an
other dismal day. Burlew & O'Neill. his
owners, were sanguine that this hand
some 2-year-old would race in the deep
soil, and they advised all their friends
to go the limit on him.
They played him in the local ring and
out of town poolrooms for many thous-
ands of dollars. Sir Toddington made
good for many bitter disappointments
by leading from start to finish.
The biggest surprise OF the afternoon
came in the last race, when Lucky
Charm, a 40 to 1 chance, just beat
Potheen by a head, who was quoted as
high as so 10 I. The latter made all
the running to the last two strides
where Lucky Charm nailed him and
won.

WHITE SOLDIERS, THIS TIME
Firing Into Train from Ambush
for Revenge.

Pensacola, Fla, Dec. 10. - Charges
have been preferred by a conductor Of
train from Pensacola to Fort Bar
rancas alleging that soldiers at that
post fired on his car from ambush at
10 O'Clock at night. Officers of the
post are investigating the trouble. The
conductors AYERS that on leaving Pen
sacola for the fort, a distance of ten
miles, he had trouble with an artillery
man about his fare. When he at
tempted to eject the soldier from the
car his comrades rushed to his assist
ance, and one of them threatened the
conductor with a club.
The street car man drew a revolver
and stood off the soldiers, however.
The artilleryman who caused the trou-
bic was arrested by the civil authori-
ties. On reaching Barrancas the sol
diers, about twenty in number, alight,
ed. The car stops ten minutes at the
fort before beginning the return trip.
The conductor AYERS that within a
short distance from the post on the re-
turn a volley was fired at him. He
was on the rear platform and alight-
ed, returning the fire with his revolver.
He says his assailants, who he recog-
niZed as soldiers, then fed.
