we took him east six months ago he took on flesh rapidly, and in a short time weighed 450 pounds, but was ac- tive on his feet.'
 Middlesky was really taken east in the hope that he could be made into pugilist formidable enough to go against Jeffries. After giving him an extended tryout the project was dropped. and the big Cocopah turned his attention to wrestling. Middlesky is not unknown to Ari- zona. For several years he resided at Yuma, serving one year on the DO lice force. He was a terror to evil doers. because of his strength and bravery.
 As a hockey player Middlesky is said to have few equals. While at Yuma he arranged several hockey matches between the Cocopah Indians Of Mexico and the Indians at Yuma.
 Taylor and his wrestler are stop ping at the Swim at Lowell, and any one desiring to get a match with the big re1skin can either call there ana see Taylor or communicate with him. He will remain here several days. Varney learned yesterday after noon that Middlesky is after his scalp, and has taken the matter of matcn under consideration. It is said that he can get sufficient hacking for the match.

submftted an application to Harry Hall. inspector for the southwestern district. who was here a short time ago from Los Angeles to look over the situation.
 Schmid is backed in his offer by several of the business houses in the lower end Of the street, all of whom urged him few days ago to make ap- plication for the retention of the of fee in it's present location, instead of permitting it to be moved without opposition, to the new Library build ing, on which construction will start shortly.
 In his effort Schmid proposes to rent more floor space to the govern ment than is now being used, together with 1000 new boxes, for s75 per month. The figure at which he orig inally proposed to Hall in an informal offer to rent the building was s90.
 In placing the rental of his build ing at such a low figure, Schmid has the guaranteed support of several Brewery Gulch merchants, who have promised to reimburse him each

 In a statement recently issued by the new officials of the company, they set forth the grounds on which they brought suit against their eight pre- decessors. This statement was in part as follows: -
 "On November 2S, 1905, an audit ing committee was appointed to audit the books and accounts of the com pany. two of the directors were of this committee. From the accounts and documents submitted to us for audit, we learned that the entire ex- penses of organization of tht company, cost and purchase price of all prop erty owned by the company all sums expended by and for the company, had been, made from the sale of treas ury stock That the organizers Of the company had issued to themselves 550.000 shares of the capital stock of the company for which they had raid nothing. that they received pay ment for all services rendered the company, and that the small amount of money advanced by them on Jan Cary 9. 1905. was repaid within sixty five days.
 We could not find that they have dollar invested in the company and upon consultation with attorneys we were advised that the issuance of this 550.0oD shares of stock was illegal and that it should be cancelled. We therefore on January 16 instituted suit Tor cancellation of the stock. We have the assurance of several attor- neys-at-law of the legality of our ac- tion and ultimate success in the same.
 The return of this stock to the treasury of the company where it be- longs will ,re-estahlish the company on a strong financial basis and en- nance the value of outstanding stock"

John MiddIeSky Wants Go With Varney for a Bet of One
 Thousand Dollars.
WEIGHS 300 POUNDS
 WHEN IN CONDITION.
CoCopah Who Was Once Con-
 Sidered Possible Opponent of JeffrieS, Comes to Terri
 tory to WreStIe With Anyone.

Weighing $50 pounds and full blooded Cocopah Indian, born in Mex ico, John Middlesky arrived in Bisbee yesterday to make, if possible, a wrest- ling match with Sid Varney, the local undefeated champion.
 Middlesky, who became famous a short time ago, when 1t was announc- ed that he was in training to chaI- lenge Jim Jeffrie3 for the ring cham pionship, is not only a giant in stat ure, but is a magnificent specimen of Indian manhood.
 Standing 6 feet inches in his stocking feet, and with a head of hair Of which a woman might we'll be proud, Middlesky has every appear ance of being a formidable rival on the mat. For the past six months he mas been in the east in the hands of a competent instructor, and is saIa to be wonder.
 H. T. Taylor, Middlesky's manager, yesterday issued his def to any heavy weight wrestler in Bisbee or any part Of AriZoGa. He is willing to wager Sl eco or more that his man can throw Earney, best two in three falls, or will match him against any other wrestler in the Territory, who has sufficient backing.
 q do not care to make this match for less than $1,000," said Taylor yes terday. q will bet that amount or more, and as soon as anyone shows that he means business will at on=e post a sufficient forfeit in the hands of any reputable citizen to bind the match.
 T believe that Middlesky is the coming champion wrestler, not only because of his size and strength, but because of his skill as well. He has learned all the tricks of the business from an instructor in New York.
 'Middlesky now weighs $50 pounds, but will train down to 300 before go- ing into Q match. It is with great diff dculty that we keep him down. When

But it is not probable that restrictions of

COTE'S DEFEAT
Probably Means An End to His Cham
pionship Aspirations.
(Portland ArguS.)


The defeat of Arthur Cote at Au-
gusta by Peter Sullivan practically
puts an end To Cote's ambition to ever
be a champion at his weight.
Cote's defeat appears to have been
clean cut and decisive and when Sui
Ivan put him away in four rounds,
there appears to be little hope of Cote
ever going up against any of the best
men of his weight in the country and
if he should meet any of them. they
would probably dispose Of him without
any great difficulty.
Billy Hamilton started out with Cote
early in the winter to give the Bidde-
ford boxer an opportunity of meeting
a number OF clever boys in Philadel-
phia. but Cote did not prove to he q
shining success with Hamilton and 50
the lSiddeford boxer returned to his
home.
The BiddefOrd papers claimed that
Hamilton overworked Cote and that
the hoy did not receive a fair show.
Since returning to Biddeford Cote has
fought several times and his good work
led his friends 90 believe that Cote had
regained his best form and was still
a conner"
The unexpected knockout Cote re-
ceived Monday night. however. gives
him n severe set back and he will have
to defeat a number Of good boxers
now before any attention will be paid
to any championships claims of Cote.
Cote appears to have reached the
climax Of his pugilistic career and now
seems to BE- on the down grade. He
may possibly come back and jump into
the front rank of lightweights. but it
is extremely doubtful. for few boxers
ever come back and while Cote can to-
day make it interesting for many boys
in New England of his weight. still
he does not appear to be cut ont for a
champion.
