$500 JUDGMENT
STANDS THE TEST
SUPREME COURT SAYS SUGAR
COMPANY MUST PAY
SPARKLING.
FAMOUS DR.. TILu CASE WILL
NOT BE RESTORED TO JUDGE
HELMS DOCKET.
Madison Oct d

The supreme court yesterday af-
irmed the Judgment entered in the
circuit court against the United
States Sugar company and in favor of
James Sparkling for $500. The
Judgment was for damages resulting
when Sparkling fell or stepped into a
vat of hot water in the plant of the
sugar company while he was EN-
ployed there. The Judgment was
affirmed without division. A jury in
the lower court found the defendant
guilty of negligence and fixed the
damages at $4,000. Before the So
preme court a charge of champtery
was brought against Miner & Elver,
attorneys for Sparkling, but the court
held that the charges were not sus-
tanned. The exact language OF the
court upon this point being:
"A claim of champerty is made
The evidence on the subject showed
without dispute that the plaintiff con-
tracted with his attorneys to pay
them a sum equal to one-half of the
cutting the action; there was no agree
ment that they should pay any Of
the costs. This does not constitute
champerty."
No interference in Till Case.
In the case of Attorney A. c. Um,
brett of the state board Of medical
examiners seeking to force Judge
Eugene w. Helms to reinstate the
DR. John Till case on his docket.
the supreme court held that while it
had power to supervise inferior
courts, it would not exercise that
power unless all other remedies HAD
been exhausted. The court refused to
compel a reinstatement of the case.
"Dr." John Till, the plaster doctor,
formerly of Somerset, now at Al
mena, procured the quashing of
prosecution under which, in Justice
court, he had been fined 500 and
costs for practicing medicine without
a license.
This action had been taken by
Judge Helms because the complaint
did not state that Till was using
drugs, Till having a license to prac-
tice osteOpathy.

kee was admitted as an attorney.

EXPERTS ARE PICKING BURNS
 ID MN FIGHT OVER JOHNSON

the winner. Although Tommy is only five feet seven inches in height, his brawny shoulders are as broad as those of Jeffries, his reach is as great as that of Bob Fitzsimmons, and he Is quick as a flash on his feet. So fast is he that he boxes with his hands practically hanging at his sides much after the manner of Jim Cor bett. His very shortness makes him more dangerous because of the inabil- ity of a taller opponent to reach him with any punch other than an upper cut, for his fighting position is lean ing forward, causing what straight blows do reach him to land on the top of his head. Any man who es- says to uppercut him will expose him self to the assortment of damaging punches that have carried defeat to many.
 The fights considered by many as a gauge of the abilities of the two heavyweights now in Australia are those held by each of the boxers with Jim Flynn, the fighting fireman of Colorado. Johnson defeated the lat ter in eleven rounds, while Tommy re- quired fifteen to tame the Pueblo puncher's stubborn pride. In Burns case, however, he stood toe to toe with Flynn and slugged with that 1lu- man tornado for ten rounds. Had Johnson fought a like battle it is probable the Italian with the Irish patronymic would have dropped the negro. In the tenth Tommy broke ais hand. He had used tape to bind ais "mits" for the first, and only, time in his life, and had wrapped it too closely. AS the heat of boxing caused his hands to enlarge the bones of his right hand snapped from the pressure. From the tenth to the fifteenth round Burns resorted to his foot-work and rapid-fire left and Flynn did not again reach him with a punch. It may be predicted with confidence that against Tommy's punching, ability to take "the gaff," and clear courage, the ne- gro will snow the yellow streak that has cropped out during more than one of his fights. To welEinformed stud ents of the game there appears no logical reason for fake, for Burns is one of the most confident men who ever donned the gloves.

Several days ago he decided to make some Christmas pur- chases for old friends in the east, and going to his bank" found all the money gone. In the bottom of the can scrawled on piece of paper, torn from an old memorandum book, was this old-time axiom: "A fool and his money are soon parted"

lspecfal to ReYiew.l

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22.-The ad- verse and loose comment being band jed by the ill-informed concerning the probability of a fake fight between Burns and Johnston at Sydney, Aus tralit, December 25, Is wholly without logic. Burns in the past lost de cision to Jack Irwin" Sullivan, and fought a draw with Hugo Kelly, both contests occurring in Los Angeles. The incidents connected with these two fights are not generally known and his poor showing in the battles men, toned is accepted as evidence of his calibre as a pugilist. When Burns fought the men named he was prac- tically unknown and was obliged by poverty to accept conditions that were almost suicidal. His normal fighting weight at that time was about 175 pounds, yet he was obliged to train down to 15s to meet this opponent. For his contest with Sullivan he was compelled to take off fifty pounds
 in two weeksl Foxy Jack had stalled round until two weeks before the date opened and then had insisted upon the middleweight limit, although Tommy then weighed POS. When  Burns crawled through the ropes he could barely amble about the ring, and lost the decision on points.
 His first opportunity to fight at his real weight was when he fought Mar win Hart Burns was a revelation that night He whipped the man who few weeks before had whipped Jack Johnston and trimmed him thorough ly. After the contest Burns displayed not a scratch. Many believe John son to outweigh the sturdy Canuck, to outreach him, and to have more science. On the contrary Burns is faster than the negro, has as long a reach, is craftier, and infinitely more courageous. While Johnson has been knocked out by Choyninski, Burns truly boasts that he has never yet felt a dazing punch. Moreover, he will enter the ring in Sydney at 195 pounds weight, little if any below that of Johnson. W. w. Naughton, the dean of American sporting writers declares Burns is greatly underestimated in
 this country, and expects the contest
 to be absolutely square, with Burns

The State won big victory Tuesday
when Judge Robert l.. Stout, who is
now holding court here. mailed letter
to Ben Marshall, Circuit Clerk at
Frankfort, instructing him to enter
Judgment against the Southern Pacific
railroad in case pending in that
court.
Judge Stout directs reassembIing
of the State Board of Valuations and
Assessments and a reassessment of
the Southern Pacific railroad. Judge
Stout simply orders that the assess
ment be made according TO law and
does not fix either maximum or mini
mum which shall be fixed. The pres
ent valuation is only nominal, and ii
was sought by the attorneys for The
State to have the va!Ca ton fixed at
$3.50. 0O0, coo, the amount Of capital
stock and bonds of the railroad. If
this valuation IS fixed the railroad will
have TO pay the State Sc, 25t, 900 in
taxes, covering period for the past
five years, suit having also been flied
to recover that amount in back taxes
from the railroad.
This case has beer pending for long
time and will now go to the Court of
Appeals for final determination. The
State Board of Valuations and Assess
ments had fixed the valuation of the
railroad at nominal sum and its taxes
at only 5000, as the railroad does not
operate in this State, although it has
it's home office here. n. B. Hays, At
torney General under the adm listra-
ton of Gov. Beckham, and Chas.

case, filed suit to recover back taxes,
