Automobile Heart.

"Automob lie heart" the latest disease
to attack wealthy men in Pittsburg, is
no joke, physicians and surgeons de.
clare. They unite in asserting that the
epidemic is really serious. Many persons
accustomed to continued city motor.
ing are among its victims. Senator
William Finn. the republican boss, who
is rated at $15, 900, 600 and made for
tune paying the streets of Pittsburg, is
the first victim. For long line he has
spent his leisure time motoring about the
city. His physician has forbidden to even
step into an automobile again. There is
only one explanation of the origin of the
"autom obiIe heart. The doctors say it
rs produced by the constant vibrations of
the machine as it passes over cobble'
stones which are necessary IN many
streets. Senator Finn promised to ride
on asphalt streets, bat the doctors for
babe even that. Finn bad intended an
automobile for his son Rex, Yale foot
ball player, but now he will send Rex on
trip around the world instead.

CANS NELSON
FIGHT TODAY

Joe Cans and Battling Nelson fight
to a finish at Goldfield, Nevada, at 8
p. m. today.
The battle is for the lightweight
championship of the world and $50, 900

600 and Cans $4,000.
The men are to weigh in at 1873

Cans has taken the worst of every
thing with such equanimity that the
impression prevails that there is Sc
cret agreement between the principals.
This would be nothing new, in view of
recent matches held in the West.
There was a private arrangement in
the Nelson-Britt fight although it was
given out that the winner was to take

in his class, should consent to take
one-third of the purse, win or lose, is

MOORE ON
RICHARD
Local Sporting Man Who
Knows Promoter
"Tex."

Charlie Moore. the local sporting
man. is a personal friend of Tex
Richard, the promoter of the Cans
Nelson fight and has the following to
say about him:
Tex" Richard the promoter of the
Cans Nelson prize fight, w2s the most
popular and well known gambler in the
placer camps of Alaska. Richard was
born and raised in Texas and at one
time was a member of the famous Tex
an Rangers. He distinguished himself
in several combats with the lawless
element which haunt the Mexican bor-
der of the Rio Grande and when OPP
portunity affords dash across the river
and prey upon the cattlemen of Texas.
He is an expert shot with both revolver
and rifle and absolutely fearless.
TEX was among the first to go to
Alaska when the news arrived Of the
klondike strike. He made about $40,
GOO mining and then turned his atten-
ton to gambling and the liquor bust
ness. At this time his knowledge of
gambling was limited to that which all
frontier men who buck the game"
acquire; that is, he knew how to play
the game, but was unable to protect
himself on the inside. He lost his
SAC 900 dealing faro bank in Dawson
city and then headed for Nome when
the news of that strike reached him.
He and his wife arrived in Nome
with S75 and the usual camping out
fit: this was previous to the Big rush
OF 1900 He invested the $75 in one
plank placed it on two empty barrels
erected his tent and hung out a sign
Saloon" At this time he entered into
partnership with an experienced gam
bier and shrewd business man named
George Murphy.
Three months after opening he was
worth $4,000
Whisky and beer We're selling at four
bits a drink. The beer glasses were
small and each bottle of beer brought
81.
The Northern" under the manage
ment of Murphy and Richard became
the most popular saloon and gambling
house in the Nome district.
In the winter of 1900-1901 the City
of Nome was incorporated and at the
election of supervisors Richard receiv
ed the largest vote. It is customary
in mining camps to place in the chair
the supervisor receiving the largest
vote, or to elect him Mayor. At the
first meeting of the supervisors, Rick
ard stated that under no consideration
would he accept the mayoralty, Civ
ing as a reason that it would seem
strange to an outside business man
who arrived in Nome and found the
Mayor dealing faro bank.
In the winter OF 1901, Richard opened
saloon in Seattle which place became
popular with Alaskan's wintering in
that city.
There is no doubt that the Cans
Nelson fight with Richard as promoter,
will be on the square" for Tex was
never connected with anything Crock
ed in his life, and it is safe to predict
that if Cans should attempt any crook
ed work he will never leave Goldfield
alive.
