Sporting Spiel.

Frank Mcdonald, general manager
of Cans training camp out at Gold
fields, has been infected with the
''mazuma" germ that pervades the
town and stands at the entrance OF
the training quarters politely request
ing so cents ahead from all those who
want to see Joe Cans do few stunts.
Everybody at Goldfield seems money
mad
suppose this is McDonald's first
chance to get even with the natives out
there for charging Is cents for beer
and 35 cents for shave.
Perhaps, though, Mcdonald shaves
himself.
Here is little conversation that
took place at Goldfield the other day
between Tex Richard and Cans:
Say, joe" said Tex" you know
some of your past is bit off color.
But take tip from me. Don't trif1e
here
why, Mr.. Rickard," said Cans, I'D
think whole lot before I'd try to do
anything wrong here. Why, they'd kill
me-"
Cans has the gang sized up right.
He must fight or die.
Sir Thomas Upton in an interview
recently said he was willing to chal-
lenge for the Americas Cup next year.
The reason that he has hesitated
hitherto was because the designers
said they did not think they would have
an equal chance against an American
boat.
This, in plain English, is under
stood to be an admission of the su-
periority of American yacht design
ins.
Sir Thomas Upton is to have anoth-
er conference with the designers dur
ing the next ten days and he will
then come to definite conclusion.
Sir Thomas was always a great
'kidder.'
Here is what few Eastern experts
have to say of the Gans-Nelson fight:
John l.. Sullivan-Gans will win
easily in about six rounds. Nelson
hasn't got chance.
John Considine-Nothing to it but
the negro all the way.
George Constructions for me.
It's a pipe.
Bat Masterson-All the figures say
Cans, and not a chance for Nelson.
Tom O'Rourke-It's in; Cans by a
city block.
Jim Corbett-I'd like to see Nelson
win, but it doesn't look as though he
could on paper.
Honest John Kelly-Gans from the
tap of the bell until the finish, which
will come quickly. I have just had
wire from Cans telling me to get a
swell bet down on him.
Frank Johnston-I'm betting $500
on Cans against $1,000.
Johnny McGraw-The Giants will
winch, pardon me; what fight? Oh!
Do you know I've been so busy l
didn't hear about it.

QUEER CAUSE OF DEATH.

Mankato.-An eight-penny nail in
the heart Of a COW belonging to Claus
Swanson, living in Lafayette, Nicol-
let county, was responsible for the
animals death. The animal had been
ailing for some time and it's owner, be-
leiving it to be suffering from tubercu-
losis, killed it. After it's death an ex-
animation disclosed an eight-penny
nail Embedded lengthwise in it's heart.
Holes in adjacent tissues showed that
the nail had been travelling about for
some time before it finally found lodg-
ment in the heart. It is not unusual
for small nails and bits of glass to
be found in the udders of cattle, but
this is the first case known where a
nail has been found in the heart or has
caused death.
