DRIFT 75a MILES IN CANYON
Two Miners Tell of Experience in
Rapids of Colorado River.

The Needles. Cal, Feb. 10.-Charles
S. Russell, and +. II. Monet, who
came all the way through Grand Can
yon of the Colorado in a s~ixteen.foot
rowboat, reached here. Not since
1889, when Robert B. Stanton landed
here after n successful fight of 752
miles in the river, has any one made
the perilous voyage.
In telling of the trip, Russell said:
"The river below Bright Angel for
$50 miles was SO rough that never
expected to get through alive. If Mag
ara is worse than Diamond Creek
rapids 1t must be more than rocks and
water. After the damage to the boat
in Hermit Creek rapids. we did not
dare try to lower a boat through this
fall. Monet managed to climb down
the side of the long rapids, but | shot
them. The boat capsized half way
through, and l was unable to crawl
out from underneath until we had shot
down into the big eddy at the bottom.
Monet helped me get the boat ashore
and we found 1t was all right"
Russell refused to tell what success

London, Feb. 11.-Tommy Burns,
the American heavyweight pugilist,
Knocked out Jack Palmer of New.
castle, the English champion, in the
fourth round Of what was scheduled
to be a twenty round contest for the
heavyweight championship. Some o.
900 persons saw the fight, which took
place at Wonderland, a big music hall,
but 1t was a onesided affair from the
sound OF the first gong until the mid
die of the fourth round, when Palmer,
on his knees, vas finally counted out.
The referee might have given a de.
cision in the first minute of the con-
test as Palmer was a beaten man from
the moment he entered the ring.
Burns climbed under the ropes smil-
ingly and showing his customary con-
fidence, while Palmer displayed great
nervousness. Without any prelimin-
airy sparring Burns went after him and
the first round had hardly begun be-
fore the Englishman was on his knees.
He took the count twice and during
the rest OF the round was busily en-.
gagged in covering himself. This vas
repeated in each of the other rounds,

TEST OF PASS LAW LIKELY
Nebraska Railway Commission Refers
Question to Attorney General.

Lincoln, Feb. 1.-THE state railway
Commiss sion referred to the attorney
general the question of violation OF
the anti.pass law charged against the
Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific
railroads. Reports filed by the roads
with the commission for the month OF
January include the list of passes is
sued and it Is alleged they are In d.
rect violation with the law. The list
Of ~passhoiders reported include in the
main surgeons and attorneys of tho
roads, but it is claimed these men do
not devote the major portion of their
time TO the service of the roads, as
required by law, but are, in fact, only
occasionally employed and In some In
stances the annual pass Is the only
remuneration they receive for their
services. II is possible the present al
legged violation will be made the basis
of a test suit on the constltutionality
of the anti-pass law. Such a sugges-
tion was recently made to the state
commission by Attorney Edison Rich
of the Union Pacific.

dried hide. which stretched tight
across the bare bones. Clifton Prouty.

from a blizzard which swept Nebraska
a few days ago.

%predicament he stumbled across the
carcass OF the horse m the thought
struck him that this would give him
the shelter he needed. In this strange
haven he spent the entire night and a
greater part of the following day.
Prouty had been to Wolbach. eight
miles from his home, and when his
horse fell sick he left the animal at a
livery stable and decided to walk
home. He had a bottle of brandy
with him, with which he sustained life
until he Vas discovered by n Of his
W dogs after the storm had abated.
The dogs barking brought Prouty's
son to the rescue. Prouty's legs.
which he was unable to pull under the
cover of the horse hide, were badly
frozen and may have to be amputated.

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything l
could eat that would agree with me.
The little did eat seemed to give me
more trouble than it was worth. /
finally quit coffee and drank hot
water, but there was so little food
could digest l was literally starving;

at a time.
