Make Better Roads.

Delta county is very backward in the
matter Of road making. II we had the
rainfall of eastern states our roads
would be impossible. 1t would be alb
solutely necessary to do something. As
II is we get along most any old way.
The road south of town on Main street,
over which much heavy hauling has
been done this fall. is one continuation
of deep ruts. The town of Delta has
very poor roads and in the country dis
tricts II seems that little attention
is paid to road building.
May we ask If there is any economy
In having il so? Don't it cost the man
with team something to haul 500 or
1000 pounds less than he could If he had
Rood roads? And il he is using the
roads constantly his loss is daily.
The roads are full of rocks, full Of
holes and ruts and II there is road
grader in the country we have failed to
see II. A defective road is false economy.
In countr, where good roads can be
had so inexpensivcly and could be 80
easily kept in first class condition we
should not permit indifference to make
them otherwise.
Do we hear second to this sugges-
ton? If so. let the INDEPENDENT hear
from you thru its columns.

New York, Dec 26.-Around ring

awaited yesterday afternoon the onset
of what has been secretly heralded as a
battle which would make the usual bout
appear like pantomine.

chosen spectators. 1t brought to the
clubhouse at Bath Beach men well

are heard frequently on the stock ex-

Two youths, sparse of years, but in
the pink of fighting condition, danced
into the ring They were Jack Sinnott,
the hard-hitting featherweight Of
Brooklyn, and Stub O'Brien of Ireland.
The fighting was furious and o 'Brien
was knocked thru the ropes twice. 81.
AS the fighters tired somewhat they
were less agile in avoiding punishment
and their faces and bodies became Grim
soned. Most of those in the front seats
bent forward eagerly. They urged the
boys to greater efforts. O'Brien was
badly battered and stayed in the ring
only by sheer nerve. A few of the men
pleaded with the referee to- stop the af-
fair at the sixteenth round. They were
waved away amid shouts Of disapproval
from the majority.
Sinnott jumped to the center Of the
ring with a rush as O'Brien staggered
forward. Successive blows on the jaws
sent O'Brien to the floor three times
and his seconds threw up the sponge.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 2S.-The case Of
Hiram Chapman against Florence
Elliott Chapman has been dismissed by
the United States supreme court for
want Of jurisdiction. c#z
This somewhat complicated case was
appealed to the, supreme court from
Cedar county. Mrs. Chapman received
a $4,000 judgment for alimony in .
suit which she brought in 1902, declar-
ing she was resident Of Harrington,
Neb., and that Mr.. Chapman had failed
to support her.
Chapman, who was a wealthy man,
answered this. plea by showing d.
vorce which he secured in 1895 in Far
go, N. D. The wife insisted that this
divorce was not legal, asserting he was
not bona fde resident of North Da-
kota. Chapman was : resident OF
Massachusetts and made no claim Of
having gone to North Dakota for any
reason other than to obtain a divorce.
He returned to Massachusetts az sool
as the suit was finished.
Mrs. Chapman's ATTORNEYS therefore
insisted that his residence in North Da.
kota was not bona fide and that his di-
vorce should be given no credit in Ne
braska: The lower court agreed with
this view and the supreme court sus.
tanned the decision. -.

Tonopah, New, Dec. 26.-Joe Cans
celebrated his Christmas Day by 60
ing thru several hard training stunts.
Notwithstanding reports to the con-
trary, the champion is in excellent con-
dition. Cans is practically down to
the weight at which he will be re-
CURED to fight Herman, and his con-
ditioning processes have been so grad
ual that he has lost none of his strength
in making the weight. ..'. -
Altho the dusky lightweight put in
some hard ticks, he had the greater part
OF the day to himself, and he. enjoyed it
after his own fashion. While he was
working, however, he made up for the
time that he rested. In his bag-punch-
ing he showed that his wonderful punch
is still unimpaired. Cans talks little
about his coming contest with Kid
Herman. Joe believes that he will win
easily and his trainers are having a
hard time convincing him that he is
holding his opponent too cheaply. -.
Herman is equally confident Of vic
tory. The "kid' says that he ex-
poets to be out-boxed by Cans in the
early stages of the fight, but that he
will be able to land the winning punch
on the champion after the tenth round.
