PRESIDENT MULKEY RESIGNS
VIII Retire From Normal Work
January 1 to Engage In Private
Business.

The report Of the resignation OF
B. F. Mulkey as President Of the Ash
land Normal School as published in
Tuesdays OBSERVER, is confirmed by
the following item from the Ashland
Tidings:
"For some time past there have been
rumors Of the intended resignation Of
President B. F. Mulkey, who has been
at the head of the s. o. State Normal
at Ashland for five years past, for it
has been known that he was consider
ing fiattering offers to engage in
private business. However his decision
was not made public until today, when
at a meeting of the faculty of the
school and before the student body he
formally announced that he had
rendered his resignation to become
effective with the beginning of the
new year.
The name of his successor in the
school will be made public within a
short time. The faculty and the stud
ent body upon receiving the announce
ment passed resolutions highly COM
mandatory of President Mulkey's
school work, and his resignation is
keenly regretted in faculty and student
circles, though all wish him success
in his new venture.
President Mulkey will become
associated with the Jackson County
Abstract Company, as a partner with
John A. Harvey Of Ashland and T. w.
Miles of Medford. He will be located
at Jacksonville, where the company,
which has acquired the Narregan &
Narregan abstract plant and added it
to its own, will also establish an office.
President Mulkey who was admitted
to the bar some years ago, will also
take up a long cherished desire to
practice the profession of the law, and
will attend to the Company's court
business at Jacksonville.

BIG BOUT TONIGHT.
Robson and Murphy to Have Their
Third Encounter.

The most important match arrang-
ed so far this season is that scheduled
to take place between Tommy Murphy
of Harlem, and Spike Robson of
England, at the National A. G. in
Philadelphia tonight These boys
have met twice before and each is
credited with popular decision. Rob-
son had decidedly the better of the
first go, while Murphy showed the
superiority in the second. After the
second bout Robson returned TO Eng
land, where he won the English
limestone. championship.
Robson has been conditioning for
this match at Blackwood, and accord
ing to his trainer, Frank O'Brien, he
is in splendid shape. Murphy, as usu-
al, trained at the New Polo Athletic
Club, New York, under the direction
of Johnny Oliver and former light
weight champion Frank Erne. Muir
ply will get 81 800, win or lose.
In the event of defeating Spike,
Johnny Oliver, manager for Murphy,
will make an effort to match Murphy
against Young Corbett, whose bout
with Kid Herman was cancelled ow-
ing to the interference of Herman S
relatives with the Chicagoan's ring
plans. Oliver believes that Murphy
and Corbett would draw well in Ne
vada and would gladly jump at a
$4,000 purse for return battle with
the Denverite.
