IBuilt For Battle"

Then, tOo," goes on the enraptured
sculptor. "Fitzsimmons' body is built
for battle. His shoulders are far apart
and his chest is tremendous. His
arms. too, show that he is man Of
battle. Taken in its entirety, the form
Of this gladiator mutely spells fight. !"
With which statement various other
gladiators of the age will agree with
out further comment-Jim Corbett, for
instance, and Tom sharkey and George
Gardner, to mention only a trio of the
victims Of the Fitz mitts in later years.
Even Jim Jeffries will not dissent, for,
though he whipped Fitz twice, he has
declared that Fitz gave him the worst
beating he ever received in the ring.
Jeffries, by the way, is the only man
who ever whipped Fitzsimmons up to
three years ago, when the Borglum
gladiator had reached the age of for
ty-two and had fought 1854 battles in a
ring career of twenty-seven years.
All suggestion of levity aside, this
man Fitzsimmons is a physical won
der, and nobody will seriously object
to his perpetuation In marble. In the
essential respects Bob Fitzsimmons is
the most remarkable pugilist that ever
lived. There are pugilists and pugil-
lists. Like poets, they arise, aspire, ex-
pire and become has-beens. But here

Winner of Three Championships

A pugilist does not fight with his
legs; hence those members do not re-
quire excessive muscularity. If they
are somewhat lanky and lean they pos
sess the very qualities desired. Fits
legs are so, and thus he was enabled
to be what the fighters call shifty on
the pegs while delivering his sledge
hammer blows with the brawny arms

of the ancient gladiator of whom the
schoolboys of the past generation were
wont to declaim, Fitz almost may say
that he has met in the arena every
shape of man or beast that the broad
empire of America can furnish and has
never yet lowered his arms.

the local rink tonight.
The isolation of the local rink has
kept the Club from entering many
contests, but the rink has a number

of the game, and the visitors will be
compelled to earn any honors they
may carry home. But they will as.
suredly be entertained in proper
style by the Virginia bunch.

Brought Up At Commercial Club.

brouQnt up At Commercial CJu0.
While the proposition to raise the
saloon license in Virginia from
$500 to 1000 has been discussed to
"a limited extent by individual
members of the community it re-
mained for general discussion to
be aroused by it's introduction at
the meeting Of the Commercial
Club Wednesday evening, by
Editor Cuppernull, of the Virgin
ian. Mr.. Cuppernull took the stand
that such raise should be recon.
mended for the consideration of the
city council, his contention being
supported by r. Metcalfe, one of
his employees, and by Cashier
Stebbins, of the American Exchange
Bank.
But others did not see the matter
In the same light, it being claimed
that such move would tend to
cut down the number of saloons,
thus leaving vacant store rooms for
rental purposes which would be
rapidly filled by other business in
terests, thus encouraging unneces.
sary competition. It was also con.
tended, with good judgment. that
such a move would tend to lower
rents on the business street and
depreciate the value of business
property accordingly.
The Club also listened to several
communications from authorities
relative to the mode of mine taxa.
tion in other states, all of which
correspond with the range fight
against the proposed tonnage
method of taxation.
A number of new members have
been added to the enrolment of the
Club since it's last meeting, the
total present membership being
about 65. OF this number about
one-half were in attendance.

Approved by all Citizens.

AT the council meeting Tuesday
evening resolution was passed
that the city uniform it's police
officers in future, and providing
that one suit per year be furnished
the chief and each patrolman at
city expense. This move is one in
the right direction, and will receive
the unqualified sanction of every

The council also considers the
advisability of purchasing lot Is of
block 19, adjoining the old city hall
property on the east, and the erec-
tion of brick fire hall on this pro-
perty the coming season. The lot
in question has been tied up by an
illegal transfer, but the matter can
be adjusted without trouble, the
price at which it is offered being
$275!M!

chronicle the death of our beloved
father which occurred athis home

Thursday, February 28th. The fol-
lowing kind words are taken from
the New London Press of the tol-
lowing day:
II. NJ. Demning died last evening
after an illness extending over
several weeks, of enlargement. of
the heart. He was sixty.two years
of age.
"Mr. Demming was a pioneer mer-
chant and manufacturer of the
city and in times past has been one
of the most active figures in city
politics. holding many official posi-
tions. On account of failing health
he had lately retired from active
business and within the past few
years suffered several attacks of
heart disease. The last of these be-
gan few weeks ago and had it's
fatal elimination shortly after
eihgt o'clock last night.
"Irvin Martell Demming was
born December 26, Ain Litchfield,
Ohio, and received his early educa-
tion there. At the age of 81, at that
place he was married to Delphine
Scovill and they removed to New
London in 1870, settling in the resi-
dence in which with it's subsequent
additions, he was destined to pass
the entire remainder of his life. In
this city he at once engaged as a
partner in the manufacture of sash,
doors and blinds, continuing in the
business for number of years, aud
later launched upon the grocery
business, first az I. N. Demming &
Co., and later as sole owner of I. NJ.
Demming's Pioneer Grocery. In
this business he continued up to
a few years ago.

ROOSEVELT HIGHS DEFEAT nlBBlNG.
6v Score Of IL to 9 IN Warm Basket
-, BALI Game.

In the second of series of basket
ball games between the Hibbing
and Roosevelt High School teams
at the Roosevelt auditorium Satur-
day last, the local team won by a
score of IA to 9, and while The En-
terprise does not feel justified in an
attempt to heap insults and sarcasm
upon the heads of the defeated
team-as was done with 80 fluent a
pen by the Hibbing press repres-
entatives after the defeat of the
Virginia team in the first game of
the seriee-we will say that the
victory was purely the result of
superior work on the part of the
victors; in fact, that the playing OF
the opposing teams showed such an
extreme of generalship that we
have doubts about come of the
visitors having ever played game,
and know that as team thew are
never entitled to play another.
The line up of the opposing
teams was as follows:
Deering---R.F Nelson
Bonner Cobb
Meehan. ------- Center Henry
Bfrg---------R. Kanipes
Eaton -Thomas-Haley
The first half was donated the
visitors by the. home bunch, the
score at the end standing 10 4 in
their favor, the boys seeing that
they bad everything their own way
and that their judgment was not in
error was proven by the ease with
which they trimmed" their alleged
antagonists in the last half of the
game.
Some thirty "rooters" accom-
panied the Hibbingites, and had
the playing of the west end team
been half 80 good as the lungs OF
the nerve-rackers there would have
been different story to tell.
