traction as vaudeville artist. He
must fight or quit the game with the
title.
Should Sullivan defeat Cans in their
next probable battle the Boston boy
would acquire a clear title to the light
weight and welterweight titles and the
Baltimore negro is holding aloof from
further battles because he is the un-
certainty which haloes the titles OF
both divisions.
Sullivan last night wired Cans a
proposition to battle him at 1873 pounds.
which Is four pounds within the limit
at which they fought at Frisco last
week, when Cans knocked out Sulli-
van.
A meeting between Cans and Sulli-
van in Los Angeles, where both bat
have an equal following, would de-
eide the question of supremacy between
them and the winner would be entitled
to claim the lightweight and the well
terweight championship without caviL
Sullivan feels keenly the defeat he
suffered at the hands of Cans, al
though he defeated the duslSy cham
plon IN Baltimore on a decision. and
he is anxious to have third meeting
for a decisive battle.
No boxing card that Manager Nc
Carey could arrange would attract the
interest in the west and southwest as
well as throughout the country, as
would the third meeting of Cans and
Sullivan.
McCarey has a heavyweight battle
staged for February 90 and he has con-
Quoted the game on such basis that
Los Angeles is now considered as the
battle ground for all champions, and
it is possible that negotiations now in
progress will enable McCareys club to
be the scene of an adjustment of the
heavyweight, n1ioidleweight and light
weight, as well as the welterweight
titles.
All these titles are now in dispute
and many aspirsnts are making claims
which must be submitted to the gloved
argument before proper and salts
factory settlement can be had.

These are, i'm substance. the replies

I am no welterweight. only too glad

John NJ. WiIkerson, Candidate for
Sheriff.

At this crisis when bloodshed seemed
inevitable. the trouble was averted by
the courageous action of the sheriff OF
shawnee county, who with a strong
force Of deputy sheriffs took possession
OF the state house, pushed the militia
into the background, and established
order The sheriff who knew what to
do and did it in the emergency was
John NJ. Wilkerson.
John Wilkerson, the man who more
than any other was responsible for the
quelling Of the legislative war, is again
candidate for the office of sheriff of
Shawnee county, and the chances are
that he will be elected on Tuesday by q
decisive majority.
There is everything in Vilkerson's
record to recommend him to the people
Of the county. He has lived in this
county 80 years. coming here soon after
his discharge from the union army at
the end of the war. In 1852 he was first
elected sheriff of the county, and was
reelected in 1892. 1t was in his second
term that he showed himself a man to
be depended upon in an emergency, and
stopped what threatened to be civil
war.
People in Shawnee county know VIII
kerson as a man who is not afraid to
enforce the laws at all hazards, and for
that reason he is being opposed by the
saloon element In the Republican party.
Not only has John NJ. WilkeFson
shown that he is possessed Of unusual
courage and determination, but he is
recognized as a detective Of exceptional
ability, After leaving the OFFICE Of
sheriff of Shawnee county, -NVilkerson

Sheriff yVilkerson has also heen in
