CHARLES NEARY ouTroINTED.
Gets Draw, But Dave DeschIer Had Bet.
ter of Argument at Milwaukee.

trttS DEaNs Dut DdFt btt-
ter of Argument at milwaukee,.
Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 2.-Charlie
Neary of Milwaukee got another of
those draws which have made Milwau-
kee famous in his 10-round battle with
Dave Deschler of Cambridge, Mass.
The battle was the fiercest ever fought
in Milwaukee and kept the crowd in
an uproar all through the 10 rounds of
sensational milling.
Both men were bathed in blood from
the first round, but the gore came from
Neary's eye, his nose and his mouth.
Deschler beat the Milwaukee boy at
every turn of the route; he roughed it
and he boxed and had such lead over
Neary that the fans were given the
surprise of the season by Referee
Stout. OF course, the verdict made a
hit with the majority of the crowd,
but those who pretended to exercise
fair judgment and who knew anything
about boxing admit that Deschler clear
ly outpointed the Milwaukeean.
The contest was easily the fastest
and most vicious affair ever seen in
the city Neither of the boys Jagged
sor, as is always the case, but Desch-
Ter never overlooked an opportunity to
drive in stinging lefts and whipping
rights, mostly uppercuts. Round after
round without faltering the boys kept
up the heartbreaking pace. But both
were game to the core and fought for
all that was in them.

President Eliot of Harvard, most
erudite educator, says basket ball and
football are dishonora5le sports. Per
haps the worthy president judges
these games by what he would do Ii
be were playing either of them. Then,
again, perhaps his academic DISPOSE
ton can't tolerate youthful enthusiasm
and healthy rivalry. 1t cannot be pos
sible he is seeking advertising, or pos
sibly there are no dyspepsia cures on
safe in Cambridge. Perchance the
profits from these games at Harvard
have decreased of late and are now
beneath notice. Likewise peradven,
ture the president forgets that he ever
was young himself.
Looks as though Harry Pulliam
would again be elected the National
league president. After a few more
terms Harry will know something
about his job.

WRONG KIND OF LICENSE.

Pine Bluff, Jan. 22.-Ccnsider- able amusement was called in the DO ice court today when two uomadic fortune tellers were ar rested for plying their trade in this city without having procured the necessary license.
 In broken English they pro- tested against tteir arrest and in. sisted that hey had secured the license from the county clerk. but when they exhibited the papers it turned out that the clerk had misunderstood their re quest and had issued marriage licenses to each of them.
 When asked if they desired to get married the men replied that they had been married a long time, and it is supposed that in giving the information which was necessary to secure marri- age license, the fortune tellers supposed this vas a rart of the red tape required to get the license which they wanted.

PEACH CROP IS NOW SAVED
Cold Wave Comes in Time to Save 1907
 Crop.


 Fort Smith Jan. 21-The cold wave that reached this section Saturday night, sending the mer. cury down to the freezing point, was a Gods. .ud to owners of peach orchards. The high wind that prevailed after the rain ceased had the effect of complete fly drying the swollen fruit buds and the freezing temperature will cause the sap in the trees 10 recede and in a measure cause the fruit buds to shrink, providing of course the weather continues cool.
 Captin Frank Smeltzer, of Van Buren, took gloomy view of the prospects for the 1907 fruit crop Saturday morning, but thinks that If we have a moder- ately cold dry season for the re- mainder of the winter, there is no reason why we should not grow a bumper crop of Elbertas and other varieties of peaches.
