TOR three weeks the wind kept at

i'll brisk breeze and freshening
sometimes into half a gale.
The Golden Rod sped merrily upon her
way, with every sail drawing allow and

week Amos and Ephraim Savage We're
reckoning out the hours before they
would look upon their native land once
more.
Tomorrow we should make land by
my reckoning" said Captain Savage.
"Ah, tomorrow. And what will II
be-Mount Desert. Cape Cod, Long Is
land"
Nay, lad; we are in the latitude Of
the St Lawrence and are more likely
TO see the Acadia coast. Then. with
this wind, day should carry US south,
or two at the most A few more such
voyages, and l shall buy myself a fair
brick house In Green lane OF north Bos-
ton, where I can look down on the
bay or on the Charles or the Mystic
and see the ships comm and goin'. So
would end my life In peace and
quiet"

kindly fashion. the weak old man and

TULSA, ]. T, May 25.-The locomotive
belonging to the Continental Coal company
was blown into fragments this afternoon
by dynamite. presumably placed on the
track by property owners adjoining the
railway tracks, who are opposed to its
operation. The mines of the company are
located about two miles from Tulsa and
are connected with the town by a single
track Of railway. Owners of property
which is crossed by the track opposed It's
building, and there has been much dis
satisfaction over 1t ever since.
This afternoon as the locomotive belong
ing to the coal company was going out to
the mines it was blown to pieces by a
terrific explosion of dynamite, which had
been placed on the track and which was
exploded by the wheels of the engine AL
though the engine was blown to fragments
the crew was not injured.
F. w. Kassner, cashier of the First Ma
tional bank of Tulsa, has been placed un-

NELsoN-HERRERA FIGHT OFF
Counter Charges of sharp Practice
Follow Dispute over Weigh
ing In.


LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 25.--There was
no fight between Battling Nelson. the light
weight champion, and AureliO Herrera to-
night as scheduled. After an almost IN
ternsinable wait of two and half hours
the crowd was dismissed at ten minutes
to. II o'clock because Herrera refused to
weigh in.
Before the crowd of 400 was finally dis
missed there was a squabble between the
fighters and their managers over tho
weight. Both sides made charges of sharp
practices on the part of the other. AS
near as can be learned tonight the situation
which led up to the calling off Of the fight
was as follows: The articles of agreement
called for the Weighing in at o'clock this
afternoon, both men to scale 1sl pounds.
The men were ON hand at the stipulated
hour. There we're scales there, but Her
rera claimed they were out of order and
could not be adjusted. After half an hours $
argument Jacobs sent Herrera to dinner.
After that he refused to allow the Mexican
to weigh in. Nelson offered to go to the
baths to weigh in, but Jacobs declined.
