Aside from the ThompsonTaro
twenty-round bout scheduled to take
place at the Ogden saucer track on
the evening of July oath, the pugil-
istic atmosphere is clear once more.
The proposed Britt-Nelson fight,
scheduled for July Sd, fell by the
wayside and was postponed until the
last of the month, and there are rea-
sons to believe that the bout will not
take place at all. There is nothing to
talk about locally but the Squires-
Burns fiasco and the coming contest
between Cyclone Thompson and
young Taro.
There is considerable interest in
the latter bout, and it will be sur
prising if there is not a large crowd
of lovers of the boxing game at the
ringside when these lightweights
meet in the squared circle The
contest is due to take place at 1880
in the evening, and arrangements
have been made to run special trains
TO the scene of battle. Thompson
and Taro are evenly matched, and II
they are in proper physical condition
the contest will be a stubborn one.
arc has made an exceptionally good
showing in his recent conflicts, and
he has many admirers who believe he
can defeat Thompson. The latter is
we'll known in Salt Lake and In Og-
den and since his first appearance
here the only fight he has lost was
that with Dick Hyland when the lat
fer got the decision after twenty
rounds of fast boxing. The boys Will
weigh in at o'clock on the after
noon of the contest at 1913 pounds.
Taro will train in Salt Lake and
Thompson will do his work in Og-
den.
Sauires-Burns Talk.

Burns situation, w. w. Naughton,
the San Francisco fight expert writes
as follows:
"Bookmaker Jack Wren deep-sea |
message to Barney Reynolds, convey
ing the tidings that the defeate of
Bosher Bill Squires had cast gloom
over all Australia gives an inkling of
the shipload of money that would
have changed hands on the Burns
Suuires fight if there had been any
way of bringing the sports of opposite
opinion into full conflict.
"Of course, the supporters of
Burns did very well as it was but the
amount won was mere bagatelle
to what might have been cleaned up
if the rank and file of Australia's bet
ting phalanx and the small fry of
wagerdom on this side of the Pacific
had been able to mingle and chal-
lenge each other to a putting-up con-
test Or say that when the match
was first arranged small band OF
American sports had taken steamer
for the antipodes loaded down with
drafts and letters of credit Think of
the killing The gloom which now
rests upon Australia would be sew
eral shades deeper.
Fright or wrong, it must be said
that the Australians are staunch in
supporting their opinions. A great
deal of the money that was lost on
Suuires was cabled here, and 1t came
in such volume that Squires was al
ways the favorite. At the time the
men entered the ring the commission
ers were still looking for Burns back
| ing, and offering, in some instances,
odds of 10 to z.
In the light of what has happened
it is hard to figure how the best
judges of Queensberry doings in Aus
tralia should have lost their heads
over Squires. One noted critic there
wrote to a friend here: Il have seen
men like Goddard, Slavin and Peter
Jackson gradually develop and at
tain their full power, and have no
hesitation in saying that Squires
could have outed any one of these in
short order
Another-and he sent ESQ pounds
to be bet on Squires-wrOte: When
you see him in action watch his fist
play. He can hit five times to the
other mans once
And about the only thing Squires
hit here was the floor.
There has been some curiosity to
learn the exact nature of the con-
tract which exists between Squires
and Bookmaker Wren of Melbourne.
Here are the terms: Wren Is to con-
troll Squires from the time Bosher
Bill left Australia until period of
eighteen months shall have elapsed.
During all that time Wren is to pay

CURE FOR OPIUM HABIT

Cinnamon In Singapore, Penang, and
other centers in Malaga. but a plant
which grows freely in Selangor is. so
far as the story runs. working wonders
in the way OF destroying the craving
for the poppy product. 1t is described
as a shrub akin TO gambler. and a de-
coction from the dried leaves is said
TO effect the cure
Local anti-Opium societies have been
formed in different places. dispensaries
have been opened 10 supply the specific
and at some of these there have been
more than 1900 applicants in one day.
In the few weeks since the plant was
discovered no fewer than l400O persons
In Kula Lumpur alone are said 10 have
been cured. SuppOsing the reports 10
be true, there is something suspicious
about the sudden popularity Of the

HOW A CHINESE SOLOMON
DECIDED A DIFFICULT CASE

4 blind street musician, reports a
Chinese paper, stood on the shore of a
river, puzzled how to cross the stream.
He implored an oil dealer, who hap
pened 10 come along, TO assist him.
The oil dealer had pity on the HELPLESS
man, took him on his shoulders, gave
him his money bag 10 hold. and carried
him across. When he deposited his bur-
den on the other shore the blind man
refused 10 return him his money bag.
raised a noise and declared that the
money was his property. The matter
came before The judge, and each man
said on oath that the money belonged
to him. The judge finally ordered the
bag of money emptied into a Rtiter
tank. and then suddenly announced that
the oil dealer was the owner. When
asked for the reason for his decision, he
declared that the money of tie oil
dealer must certainly show traces OF
his bushes, and, indeed, on the surface
OF the water traces OF oil were found.
