pool, a commission merchant, fought
four rounds in the presense of large
open air audience the other night af-
ter Mrs. Vanderpool found Mrs. Jones
and Vanderpool together at Tenth and
Olive streets.
They fought over two city blocks
with a throng of men and women fol-
lowing them like gallery" at a golf
game.
Mrs. Vanderpool, with Der sister,
was walking west on Olive street,
when she caught sight of her husband
and Mrs. Jones.
Here is the fight by rounds:
First Round-Mrs. Vanderpool, ad-
vancing quickly, approached her ad-
versary from behind. She cleverly
tented with her handbag and landed
a swinging left with her umbrella.
Mrs. Jones turned and assumed de-
fensive attitude with a box of shoes.
Mrs. Vanderpool swung wildly with
her purse and Mrs. Jones clinched,
holding her opponent by the hair, hon
ors even.
Second Round-Mrs. Jones, by clev.
er footwork, forced Mrs. Vanderpool
to follow her block, to Tenth and
Locust streets. There was rapid
exchange and a mixup, in which Mrs.
Vanderpool bored in with the brim of
her pretty merry widow hat, cutting
Mrs. Jones across the forehead. First

Indianapolis, Ind.-"Please let him

rible."
This was what bicyclemen Wilson
and Golnisch heard when they looked
into car In the yards Of a lumber
company. Sitting on a pile of lumber
in the car were young man and a
young woman. And-horrors!-the
young woman was arrayed In boys
clothing. She had a pretty face in
spite of the accumulation of dirt that
had settled during a nights ride on
a train.

NO DOGS TO ANNOY ROOSEVELT.
Oyster Bay Authorities Plan to Kill
All Stray Animals.

New York.-When President Roose.
welt arrives at Oyster Bay for his
summer outing he will find the place
bare of stray dogs, II the plans of the
village fathers are carried to a con-
clusion as satisfactorily as the pres
ent enthusiasm indicates. In order
that stray dogs from nearby villages
may not wander over to Oyster Bay
the plan is made to include all the
villages in IA election districts.
There has never before been any
effort to rid. these villages of stray
ours. Nobody wanted the job of dog
catcher at 20 cents a head and the
constables turned up their official
noses at the suggestion that they
should kill the animals.
All this is changed now, however.
The town board is offering 81 apiece
for all dogs killed. A dogcatcher is
to be appointed In each OF the IA
districts and men are said to be tum-
bling over one another to get the jobs.

BEAT THE BRITlsHER."
Roosevelt's ADMIRATION to Olympic
Games Entrante.

Washington.-"Lick the Britisher,
now, lick the Britisher, don't let him
lick YOU"
Visitors about the White House the
other morning heard these words, and
more of the same kind, from the lips
of the president as he shook hands
and babe good-by to a husky-looking
young man on his way to London to
box in the Olympic games.
The young man is Leo Forneciari
of Chicago, who holds the amateur
lightweight championship of this coun-
try. He hopes to win the worlds
championship in London. He was
presented by Representative Wilson
of Chicago. No sooner did the presi-
dent learn who he was than senators
and representatives had to stand
aside. Even Representative Serene
Payne was forgotten.
The president talked to the young
man for ten minutes, squared off in
a boxing attitude, exchanged photo
graphs with Forneciari and told him
how badly he wanted him to win. Last
year ii appears Mr.. Roosevelt was
much distressed when he heard that
a Britisher won the boxing champion
ship at the Olympic games.
1t is possible he and Forneciari
will have a bout before the latter
departs. The latter enters the ring
at from 1873 to 135 pounds and is a
fine, manly looking fellow, to whom
the president has taken a great
liking.

Bitterness Over Republican
Contests for Nomination
Grows as Election Nears.
THE BATTLE ON TOMORROW
Feeling Runs High, and Final Effort
Is Being Made-Fist Fight
Shows the Current.

The bitter contest in the republican
party for nominations is at its climax,
and as the primary election draws
nearer, the bitterness of the contests
increases. The party in Rock Island
county is split over almost every place,
from governor and United States sena-
tor to coroner. The situation here in
dicates that Governor Deneen will win
the county over Yates. Congressman
Foss, opposing Senator Hopkins for
the nomination for senator, has made
big gains here since he spoke in the
city, and he may swing majority IN
the county, although the results prom

been spending a pile of money here,
but this slush fund has had the effect
of turning some votes away from him
where it possibly has secured others.
The net results are hard to figure.
