SIX ROUND BOUT.
Lively Battle Looked for at
Philadelphia, Jan. 8.
Between Young C0rbett aud
Little Tommy Murphy.
TO BE SHORT CONTEST.
Denver Lad Says He Is in the
Best Of Trim.
First Round Between Them Will
Be Cyclone.
TO BE SHORT CONTEST.

New York, Jan. 8.-One of the chief
topics along Broadway these days is
Dung Corbett. One after another the
regulars of Blaze alley have sneaked
where Harry TuthiI is putting the
Denver lad through the most siren
uous training of his checkered career,
and as each returns to the lights he
spreads the tale of his mystif1cation.
They can't understand it at all. He
never got such a spasm for work be-
fore in all his life, and as week after
week goes by and the Kid stays right
on the job, Broadway mourns and at
the same time is glad.
Naturally they like to see Young
Corbett around. His wallet is always
open when there is anything in it, and
that's the sort of a pilgrim who can
belong on the ashen way. And when
he went away amid the blaring of
trumpets they all winked. Hell be
back in a night or So" said all the
wisers.
But he came not, neither in a night
or two, nor in week or two, nor even
In month or two. For nearly four
months now the Kid has been stick
ing to the job at the highly exciting
burg of Stratford, first training for his
last fight with Terry McGovern under
Aleck Greggains, and ever since then
training harder than that for whom
ever might come along under the
slave driver, larry Tuthill.
my Murphy, who has long been tout
ed as the man to finally step into Joe
Cans shoes, has clamored for a go at
Young Corbett, or. that is, his friends
have done it for him. They're hooked
UP for January 8 for a six-rounder at
McGuigan's National Athletic club in
Philadelphia.
Too short a fight. say you? Well,
it's plenty long enough to find out
what we want to know-has Young
Corbett come back? Is he again the
invincible Kid that pranced out of the
west in 1902 and laid 'em all low, be-
ginning with the then Terrible Ter
ry'' McGovern? He says he is. So
does Harry Pollok. Likewise, Harry
Tuthill.
But not so Tommy Murphy. He
says Young Corbett will be about the
easiest fight he has ever won, and that
six rounds will be plenty. That last
opinion seems to be the sentiment of
both sides and all their friends.
Corbett can't floor Murphy for the
blankets inside the six there's no
chance for him to climb up high
enough to ever again be a drawing
card with Cans or Britt or Nelson,
especially in view of the. fact that
Terry McGovern knocked Murphy out
in the first round a couple of years
ago.
So with that in mind, and the plans
of Pollok for the Kid are a big climb
back to the top of the pile, the indf-
cations are that a whirlwind will be
as an angels breath compared to the
first round of that six rounder on
January 9.

IN THE GALENA ZINC FIELDS.
Michigan Copper Capitalists Are Com
ing to Kansas.

Galena, Kan. Jan. S.-Michigan
capitalists. who are heavily interested
in copper mining in. the Lake Superior
region, are taking up interests in the
southeastern Kansas zinc and lead
mining district, and are commencing
development work on a more extensive
scale than the district has ever known.
On a lease near Galena a company
has commenced sinking an incline
shaft 10x12 feet in the clear. The
shaft will be sunk to a depth of 400
feet to open up an extensive run of
zinc ore at the $50 foot level. This
will be the first incline shaft in the
Kansas district, and will also be the
greatest depth mining has been done
Drill prospect work on the COM
pany's lease has proven the lower run
of zinc ore to be of larger proportions
and of a higher grade than the ore
bodies found nearer the surface on
which work has been in progress the
last thirty years.

LEBANON'S CLAIM
Smith County Town Biggest
Shipper of Stock
On the Rock Island Railroad
West of the Missouri.
THE TOWN is GROWING
Will Erect Several Fine Brick
Buildings Soon.
Drillers Still Boring for Black
Diamonds or Gas.

Lebanon, Jan. S.-This town claims
to be the biggest shipping point for
stock on the Rock Island road, west
of the Missouri river The figures are
not at hand for 1906, and while the
shipments for 1905 were $50 car loads,
there is no doubt the business of 1906
will surpasS it. The starting of 1907
was good. there being eight loads
shipped out In other words Lebanon
and her cattle and hog raisers claim
that they are doing their share in sup
plying the world with good pork and
beef.
Many Improvements are contemplate
ed for the new year. Building activity
will be brisk from early spring until
the season closes. The Derge Mercan-
tile company will thoroughly remodel
their entire building, besides the two
business houses adjoining, which when
completed with plate glass fronts will
give them a frontage of 70 feet
Other buildings will be the residences
of E. T. Derge and c. B. Vinegar,
each. Many other residences will be
built during the year.
The State bank people are figuring on
the erection of two business buildings,
and there is talk of the tearing down
of several old shacks and supplying
their places with brick buildings.
The growth Of Lebanon the last year
beat all previous years in substantial
business and building prosperity. The
place is a Smith county center for pure
business and true western grit. No
outside aid has helped to build it up,
it has been done by Lebanon capital,
and the money has been made here be-
cause it is a great center for trade, and
all the farmers are making money off
the farm, raising grains and stock.
The MethodiSts have recently COM
pleted and dedicated their beautiful
church, at which time over $1,000 was
taken up by collection. The structure
will cost a little over $1,000.
The drillers are still at work at the
gas and coal hole, with favorable indi-
cations, so much so that the people
of Lebanon are paying all bills with
the greatest satisfaction and belief
that the stuff is here.
Lebanon is situated on the proposed
railroad from Beloit to -Kearney, Ne
braska- 1t is rs miles north of Red
Cloud, and about the same distance to
Downs, on the south. 1t would be diff
ficult to find a more favored section or
prolific country anywhere than that
tributary to Lebanon.

RAINY TRACK AT ASCOT.
The SteepIechase Was Called OF and
a Flat Race Run

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. S.-Heavier and
longer continued rains than have ever
been experienced at Ascot before have
converted the course into a sea of mud.
The steepIechase event was called off and
mile and half event on the flat was
substituted. Bannen was miles the best
the good. King Al1ab. at q to 1, won the
second race by four lengths. Martha
Jane, one of the Walsh entry, took the
third event easily. with three lengths to
spare.
Sir Caruthers and Elizabeth F., two
favorites, captured the fourth and fifth
events while Los Angelo, the aged Bald
win horse, put it on Reservation in the
sixth. The rainfall to date this Year is
greater than on any corresponding date
since 1890.
Announcement was made last night that
J. G. Sturgis, owner, and Jockey Rod
rock. the rider of Cazador, were suspend
ed pending investigation The suspension
is the result of the discovery that StCrgis
carried q ticket on another horse in the
race.

Robinson Runnor Revived.

San Antonio, Tex, Jan. SIT is again
runored that A. A. Robinson, former
president of the Mexican Central rail-
road, is to be made president of the
entire system Of Mexican railroads now
being consolidated under the govern
ment control. Mr.. Robinson is close
friend of President Diaz, and it is stat
ed that the latter has urged him to ac-
cept the position and that Mr.. Robinson
has decided to do so. The president of
the consolidated lines will control prac-
tically all the railroads of the republic,
and in respect to the importance of his
position and the mileage under his con-
troll will rank as one of the most In
fluential factors in the railroad situa-
ton. He recently resigned as president
of the Mexican Central and was sue
ceeded by Eben Richards.

BLANIES THE ROADS.
President Davidson, of the Frisco, Say
Congestion Is All Their Fault.

President Davidson, of the Frisco, Says
Congestion Is All Their Fault.
President A. ]. Davidson, of the
Frisco, in a discussion of the car
shortage said in Memphis, Tenn, last
Saturday:
81 consider the reconsignment and
transit privileges as among the great
est evils. These have been brought
about by the railroads themselves; in
their hands lies the remedy. and be-
lieve they will soon apply it.
Under these privileges there is an
average delay of from four to seven
days, and, taken on all the railroads of
the country. this foots up to a tidy
figure. On the whole, however, at
tribute the car famine to the prodig-
ious expansion and prosperity of the
country, which has developed too
rapidly for the railroads to keep up
with it."
do you consider that the federal
government is justified in assuming
control of the car question ."
"By no means" replied Mr. David
son. There is not the slightest neces-
sity for such a course. The railroads
themselves appreciate the situation
most fully and will do all in their pow
er to remedy existing conditions as
rapidly as possible. I do not believe
that the interstate commerce commits
sion could accomplish any more, nor
as much. as the railroads"

GREEN'S DEVICE TESTED.
Automatic Equipment to Close Open
Switches Works Successfully.

AUTOMATIC EQuiDlnent 10 CIOS6 OpeH
Switches Works Successfully.
Buffalo, jan S.-Ernest Green's de-
vice for automatically closing an open
switch before an oncoming train was
recently tested with great success on
the Lake Shore at Silver Creek where
Mr.. Green lives
Freight locomotive No. $3.50 was
used in the tests and was run over
the portion of the track equipped at
speeds that varied from twenty-five to
fifty-five miles an hour. Roadmaster
Connors and other officials who wit
messed the tests say the device worked
