BILL SQU|RES MAY GO EAST

Bill Squires is thinking of coming east
for few six-round bouts A wire re-
eeived from the coast last night tells us
that the Australian has changed his mind
about going home and will in a few DAYS
pack up his grip and take the big train
for these parts. Bill says there is moth

go back TO the mines. and this being far
away from the limelight does not suit his
fancy in the least
If Bill does blow this way he will sure
ly be accommodated, as Johnson is in

DEFY HURLED At
BUNK CHAMPION
Jack Johnson Offers to Knock
Burns Out in Twenty
Rounds.

New York, Oct. 11.-Not having re-
ceived any reply to the numerous chal-
lenges he has hurled at Tommy Burns
on behalf of Jack Johnson, Sam Fitz-
patrick issued the following statement
today:
As Burns has ignored Johnson en-
t1rely and has not even been magma
nlmous enough to make some kind
or a reply to many challenges, 1
will make him two propositions that
every boxing devotee and sport, writer
In America must pronounce fair I
Will put up suitable forfeit as soon
as either is accepted. johnson will
box Burns six rounds and guarantees
to best him. Let any recognized re-
fierce in this country judge the bout.
Should Johnson fail to best Burns he
can take rs per cent of the purse
IF Johnson does best Burns the
Canadian still may take so per cent
of the boxers share. The other
proposition is on twenty-rOund
basis. Johnson will agree TO stop
Burns in that number of rounds. If
he fails, Burns may take rs per cent
of the purse. If Johnson does stop
Burns the latter may have 80 per cent
of the purse. If neither of the above
suit the man who claims to be Jeffries
successor, let him say what he does
really want and on what conditions he
will box Johnson. But we would like
to hear something from him one way
or the other. l believe the sporting
public in general will back me up when
I say that, by ignoring johnson, Burns
Is not proving very conclusively that
he is the next best man in the world
to Jeffries. There is but one way to
decide that-let Burns and Johnson
fight 1t out in the ring. Johnson is
willing. What is the matter with the
man who holds the title Of heavy
weight champion by default, mere
gift, from Jeffries?'

DOG VS.. RABBIT
IN SPRINT RACE
National Coursing Tournament
Starts Tomorrow = Best
Hounds in Country Here.

Wherever Jack rabbits are plentiful
there will be found greyhounds. and
Wherever these conditions exist the
people are fond of chasing the rabbits
with the dogs. This is called coursing.
and the sport is popular in many places
IN the country. 1t is toward Salt Lake
mat every coursing fan will look the
next two weeks and watch with eager
ness the efforts Of the best dogs in
America in competition for the blue
rlDOon events in this line of sport. The
annual coursing tournament of the
American Coursing club is to be held
IN this city. and over 200 fleet grey
mounds have been shipped here from all
parts or the country to compete
Coursfng, while a new game i'm Salt
Lake, is an old one in the history of
sports. As far back as history goes
there are accounts of dogs chasing rab-
bits. At the time of Queen Elizabeth
OF England, coursing reached such a
popularity that it was one of the prin
clpal sports Of the titled heads of Eu-
rope. 1t was at this time that the first
rules were framed to govern the sport,
and there has been little or no change
in the rules from that date to the pres
ent day.
Kill Is Not important.
To those who do not understand the
game, 1t should be explained that the
points do not count merely on the kill
ing of the rabbits. Points are awarded
to the Cog which first comes I'D to the
rabbit, other points are awarded to the
dog which turns the rabbit from its
course, while the kill itself is nearly
lost track of in judging the winner.
Every effort possible is made to protect
the rabbits after running a certain
distance. At the end of the course are
small holes which enable the rabbits
to dodge out of harms way. The rab-
bits are trained before they are coursed
to know these places of escape and for
thls reason many get away from the
dogs
1t is estimated that the national
meeting will bring hundreds from all
over the country to see the sport. Men
frequently travel thousands of miles to
see coursing match, and as this tour
nament is the biggest event of its kind
in the United States this year, the best
known coursing fans in the country
will be here.
Over 200 trained hounds will be on
hand for the meeting. Dogs from as
far east as New York City and as far
west as San Francisco are entered for
the meeting. The best hounds in
America today will be seen, dogs
which their owners would not sell for
a small fortune. Of course there will
be many Utah dogs entered, but the
bulk come from California, Montana.
Colorado and the Mississippi valley
states.
The two big events of the meeting
are the Waterloo plate and cup stake
and the Futurity stakes. Nearly $50
dogs start in these two events Other
stakes are added and in all over $4,000
in prizes are given away during the
two weeks.

STATE REVENUE
AGENT is AFTER
LUMBERlMEN NOW

Daily News Special 81
jackson, Miss, August THE 0nly
attaches of the state government who
have not been more or less diverted
from their accustomed tasks by the
political campaign are the deputies
employed by the state revenue agent
These efficient employees havs~beep in
dustriously engaged throughout the
summer in the back tax crusade, exam
lining books and records OF the vari-
GUS counties in search of solvent cred
its on which no taxes have been paid
in former years. and they have ac-
complished some very substantial re-
suits.
Revenue Agent Writ Adams has a
corps Of five deputies employed and
within the next few days they will
have several back tax schedules in
readiness for filing with boards of su-
pervisors, after which they will pass
through the usual course of procedure,
the alleged delinquents being allowed
opportunity to appear before the
boards Of supervisors and show cause
If any, why the assessments should
not be made.
Although, the revenue agent has
very few back tax suits pending in
volving large sums. the office is a
steady source Of revenue to the state
government, and the biennial report to
be prepared for the period ending
September 80. will show volume Of
collections comparing favorably with
that OF the previous two-year period
An important field Of research now
being developed by the state revenue
agent is the timber depredations on
sixteenth section lands committed by
lessees who believed that they had
the legal right to remove timber there
from. The accurate compilation of
these claims is a task accompanied by
many difficulties, owing to the trouble
encountered in securing information
relative to time and extent Of timber
removal, value at time Of removal,
etc. 1t is expected, however. that with
in the next two years Mr.. Adams will
collect several hundred thousand dol
lars from this source.
The confidence Of the people of Mis-
sissippi in the ability of Mr.. Adams is

jackson, Miss, August Tt is not
believed here that any ballots OF bal
lot boxes have been burned or other
wise destroyed, save in the mind of
sensational reporters. A report was
sent out from here today that Copiah
County ballot box had been burned,
but there is not scintilla of truth in
it, the Copiah vote being carefully
scheduled, and turned into the secre-
tary of state.
All kinds Of rumors are afloat, but
most of them are manufactured to suit
the convenience of the defeated crowd.
There is no telling what tomorrow
may bring forth, but it is not believed
that the vardaman crowd will even
charge the burning of ballots. They
do claim that there have been discrep-
ancies, misconduct, etc., and on which
they continue to claim victory. 1t may
se that SURPRISES are II store for the
