DOWN TO MARK
 FOR BIC FIGHT
Cans and Herman Stop Training and Both in Excellent
 Condition.
By Gable to The Daily Gateway.

ny SobAe " @AAS @''--S
 Tonopah, New. Dec. 2S-Joe Cans weighs fraction over l33, the specil- ed weight in his fight with Kid Her man. He is resting today and will do little more training. Herman easily made the weight and will stop training work tonight.
 Betting is lOto Son Cans, but there are many who believe the little Hebrew will give the negro the fight of his life. Some believe also that Cans has not fully recovered from the effects of his desperate battle with Nelson less than four months ago and that he will not show the speed or endurance he did then. Cans says he is as good as he ever was. Herman is in the best of condition and has made strong im- pression by his work in training. He is fully as fast and clever as Cans, so that the contest is likely to be one of endurance and hitting power.
 The fight will take place in the even- ing of New Years Day.

 "Ah, now you're talking" said Pagan, in a confidential tone, as he drew near to the inquisitive clerk.

 "Thash right" persisted Pagan.
 All right, " added Kent, 'Ill book you as an angel then"

The Seward folks on the steamer Portland failed to reach home for Christmas dinner but they agree that they had a dinner on the steamer Portland which could not be surpassed by the finest hotel or cafe in the land, and they passed informal resolutions that as a caterer Steward Taylor of the steamer is at the head of his class. The Thanksgiving dinner on the same boat was similarly touted by the par ticipants.

By cabl, % The Daily Gateway.

Spokane, Dec. 27-Sydney Sloane was acquitted of the murder of his father by a jury in the superior court today. The defense was insanity. The boy is only r years old and murdered his father to obtain a few hundred dollars. Evidence was given in the trial that the youth had always been weak-minded. He was taken at once to the state penitentiary by order of court to be kept in custody as an in- sane person. He will probably be sent to an asylum for the insane.

More conspiracies have failed from i'm

man has money in sufficient quantity, Sc
crecy is easily purchased. Even if he has
enough money to buy a respectable coat,
he is already on the high road to success.
If the conspirators assemble in swallow
tail coats and white ties, they are almost
free from danger. Suspicion fixes herself
upon the impecunious, the unfortunate.

Breaking q Stall Kicker,


The chronic stable kicker, aside
from being nuisance, causes much
damage and often Injuries other ami
mails. To break him of the habit, fill
a grain sack half full Of sand and
swing from ceiling with rope, SO sack
will hang where heels or horse will
have good play upon it. Tie him firmly
in the stall with heavy, stout rope.
At the first kick the bag will swing
away, often as high as the ceiling, II
kicked squarely. 1t will then return
and give him as good as he sent. This
will lead to general mixup between
the horse and sandbag, and the sack
OF sand will hold its own, returning all
he sends, with considerable interest
He will soon find that he is up against
a losing proposition, and, learning this,
will be thoroughly cowed. Leave the
sack behind him for a week or more
and then remove. If he should at any
time show any tendency to return to
bis old habit of kicking, arrange the
sack as before and the cure will be
