Considerable CdlK udS Oceu ucoAu "a
late regarding the dOleful lack OF able
fighters and wrestlers In England.
Both these historic pastimes seem to
have been greatly neglected In the
tight little isle" of late years.
The only able heavy fighter Britain
has developed in score of years was
Charley Mitchell. and Charley fought
largely with conversation and newspa-
per interviews. Yet he always showed
I'D finely in training. The way he
would knock down spindle shanked,
knockkneed, hollow chested sparring
partners was wonderful.
Charley's pet gag has been de-
scribed to besAs follows: He would hire
four or five 1.-TWO dollar a day pugs,"
take them to his gymnasium and wrap
their heads. arms and shoulders with
nice, clean white bandages. Then he
would lay them around on the floor
and whisper to his manager, "NOw let
the reporters come in."
Then Charley would wipe imaginary
perspiration from his brow, and as the
scribes entered would be heard to MUIR
muir half audibly, as though to himself.
Poor lads-clever, fast and strong, but
l seem to use them up pretty quickly"
(Groans now heard from two or three
Of the victims) Yes, IT'S a tough
game for the lads, big, strong fellows
though they are. l guess I'll have to
ease up a bit on them"
Turning, Charley would discover the
reporters, quite by accident, and apollo
gize for delaying them, and later they
would depart to spread abroad the
news about the terrible, 'orrible man
killer.
A rare feat in baseball, triple play
unassisted, was accomplished by First
Baseman Murch of the Manchester
club of the New England league in a
game with New Bedford recently
Murch caught fly from batter and,
after putting out a player who had
been on first base, rushed to second
base and caught runner attempting
to return from third.
Mahanoy City, Pa, has a pitching
marvel. Striking out forty-six bats
men in two games he pitched is the
performance Of John Wolfe, eighteen
years old, pitcher for the Lost Greek
Athletics. On a recent Sunday he
struck out twenty-five men, allowing
only one hit, and that home run, the
| only run of the game. In a later game
he struck out twenty-one batsmen. al
lowed one hit. and again lost the game

Says Eiectrk l;ae viii Be Pushed.

:; r. F. Berdie, of the Northern Trac-
tion company at Hibbing, while in
the city yesterday stated that con-
tracts are now being made for tim
Der for overhead crossings for the
proposed line, and that it is also the
desire of the company to make con-
tracts for ties but that it is not pos
sible to do so just now owing to the
|Yreat demand for ties by the rail.
roads.
Mr.. Berdie states that the new
electric line will have but two or
three grade crossings and these are
ones that will not be at all danger
ous. All dangerous points will be
crossed by overhead crossings. One
of the overhead crossings will be
across large part of the yard of
the Missabe road at Hibbing.
It is estimated that the first ten
miles to be laid of the proposed new
line will reach $4,000 people, and Mr..
Berdie says construction work will
be rapidly pushed during tf1escoin-
ing winter.

FOUND DROWNED IN 4 DITCH.

. +. Near the niQqins Mine.5 ).

The body Of John Gureky,a steam
shovel fireman at the. Higgins, was
found by workmen on their way to
the mine Monday morning, lying
face downward in shallow ditch
alongside the road, death having
resulted, evidently, from an attack
ofheart disease or from drowning
through having fallen into the
ditch while in a fit. ~.
The deceased was a married man,
and leaves widow and tive child
ren. The family recently came to
the city from Michigan, where the
deceased was member of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America. in which
order he carried $4,000 policy.
Gursky had been at work Sunday
night and had evidently started on
his way home. He had been com
planning of fainting spells and ILL.,
ness for some weeks, and it is more
than probable that it was when in a
fainting spell that he fell into the
ditch. Il

he found that more than fifty per
cent of the cases reported in the city

ANOTHER FABLE.

A Traveller who was making his way
along the seashore espied an Owl
perched in tree near the beach, and
on the sands near by reposed a Clam.
The Owl winked and blinlsed, but pre-
served silence, and the Clam had its
shell tightly closed and made no sign
of life.
"Ah, but here is wisdom indeed" ex-
claimed the Traveller 81 doubt not
that both of these would give me valu-
able advice if 1 could only prevail upon
them to talk"
Thereupon he coaxed and entreated
them to break through their silence.
and when he had wrestled with them
for half an hour the Owl opened his
mouth and gave utterance to a dismal
boot The Clam at the same time OPEN
ed his shell and yawned sleepily.
Great Scott, but how l have wasted
my time!" exclaimed the Traveller.
"The one but opened his mouth to
make discord, and the other to show
that he had no brains!"

can only be criticised for what he

THOSE TARDY PUBLISHERS.

The great foreign novelist and his
wife had been three or four days in
this country. Already they were
wearing smoked glasses to rest their
eyes while reading the scarlet head
lines over their goings out and comings
in.
"This is outrageous" exclaimed the
wife of the great foreign novelist as
she crushed the newspaper in her hand
and hurled it across the room.
ITO what does m'dam refer?" asked
her husband.
"Why, it is of the m'sieur lie publish
er. Was he not to have had it in the
papers of America within three days
the rumor that l am not my husbands
wife? 1t would of our next book sell
many thousands. But see, here comes
the next of editions. l have not doubt
it is printed in this"
And she hurried away to intercept
the newsboy and learn if their tardy
publisher had redeemed himself.

MOUNTAIN SHEEP.
They Are Held Sacred by Laws of
Colorado.

State Game and Fish Commissioner
Jim" Woodland declares that the
mountain sheep in Colorado is in the
same class as the sacred bun of India.
1t must not be touched, says Woodland.
If the animal is seen browsing upon
the mountain side the gun of the hun
ter must not be pointed in its direction.
The animal therefore may be called
the sacred sheep of Colorado" There
are not many OF them left, but under
the protection of the law they are in
creasing every year. There is band
OF them on the hills between Florence
md Victor and Mr. Woodland has a pho
tograph of a bunch grazing on hill
side short distance from Florence.
But for the passage OF law which
heavily fines those who kill this ami
nal the species would nave been eX-
tinct long ago.
A letter received in Mr.. Woodard's
office recently tells of the arrest and
| conviction of one Fred Klantzsky for
killing "A mountain sheep. Klantzslty
was fined $500 and costs in the county
court at Canon City last Saturday. The
costs amounted to $40 and If the ac.
cused man does not settle he will have
4 long term to serve in the county jail.
The state game and fish commissioner
is authority for the statement that
Klantzsky is an old offender. having
been arrested before for killing noun
tain sheep. 1t seems that Klantzsky
| shoots the animals for profit and moi
| for pleasure, and that on one occasion
| he received $50 for the head of one OF
the sheep.
"Kiantzsky is an old hermit" said
Mr.. Woodland yesterday, land he sent
out word that any game warden that
got him would have to get him dead.
Game Warden w. F. Givens got on his
trail and followed him into an aban'
doned miners tunnel, where he had
taken refuge and gone to sleep. When
the old man woke up he was looking
into the muzzle of a As and he made
little resistance, though he tried at first
to reach for his gun."-Denver Repub-
