BETS He WILL FLY.
Pennsylvania Man Building Airship
TO Win Wager

New York, Feb. 24.-Maj. MiIler's
airship, in which he will undertake to
sail from here to Franklin. Pa. has
already been ordered from Leo Stevens,
and it is now being built in a Ninth
avenue loft. Its completion is promis-
ed by May 1. and under the. contract
IT must have a speed of at least four
teen miles an hour.
Maj. Miller knows little or nothing
OF the art of an aeronaut, but he is
spending $1,000 on his dirigible balloon
and to learn to operate it In order to
win a bet. of $4,000.
Maj. Miller's $4,000 wager is that
he will fly the distance from New York
to Franklin a little more than 300
miles-without accident. and with only
such stops as are necessary to replen-
ish the gasoline fuel for the engine of
his airship. He can carry so little
fuel that he will have to renew the
supply nearly every hour.

MEXICAN AND DAVE MAY MIX
BY Van.

Los Angeles, Feb. A-Well, ii begins to
look very much like q fight between Bat
Ting Nelson and Aurelio Herrera, but
Tom McCarey had TO prove that he was
an honorable gent before Nolan would
close the dfcker.
Nolan is certainly the cautious young
business man. He wanted to know who
Tom McCarey was, how loEg he had
lived in Los Angeles, whether his word
was gOod-Nolan being so pIe-eTinently
a man of his word that he must needs be
assured on this point-how much money
as behind the club how much of the
guarantee would be in real money and
whether the purse would be free from
hot air bubbles. He kept the wires red
hot for the space of half an hour and
then came the Battler's ultimatum.
Nelson agreed to fight Herrera in Los
Angeles some time in the spring, provided
that Britt did not pay him that $500 be-
fore the first day of March
4 have given Britt two months to ar
range this matter says Nelson Nolan
ana if he means 10 have it arranged he
will have to kick in before the first day
of March or not at all"
Those who have inclined an ear to the
remarks Of Mr.. J Britt concerning this
$500 will at once recognize what a fat
chance Nelson has TO get that 5000 by
the first of March 1906. And the chance
wouldn't be q bit fatter If Nelson made IL
late in the fall Of 1850

in Los Angeles.
