Colonel Tatum Determined.

Camp Memo. near Samburg, Tenn, Oct. 24-"I am going to turn things up- side down in every house within a ra- dIus of two miles of the cut in this wire" declared Colonel W. c. Tatom commander of the troops here. when he started out witn the engineering corps. under a strong guard of infantry, to- day, to discove- the point at which the special military telephone wire from 0bion to Camp Memo was cut last night.
 This telephone wire was strung yes- terday by the field telephone corps to connect military headquarters with Obion. fifteen miles away. Late last night, when an attempt was made to use the. telephone, 1t was discovered that the connection had been cut at some point.
 The destruction of the military line was accomplished. presumably, by night riders.
 Colonel Tatom has among the engi- neering corps a telephone expert who is following the line at a gallop.

Word comes that Ike ONell Weir,
the Belfast Spider. Is dying.
The Spider is known here, having
boxed at the old Commercial hotel
then managed by Jim welsh. in the
late eighties.
Capt. Morse, now deceased, took
Weir to the Colonies. He took an in

lion dollars earned, ON the track and
in the prize ring, is fading away with
out friends or money in Boston hos
pital of internal troubles. He is about
forty years old.
His name sets working the memories
of sport lovers of other days and many
stories are being told of the little fell
low.
He is best remembered for his long
draw with Tommy Murphy at show
near Chicago, which Parson Davies
ran off and Billy Myer refereed. This
was the fight in which Harry Gilmore
came to the rescue of Murphy, who
was blinded, lanced his puffed eyes and
brought his man around to draw.
Toward the end of the fight Gilmore
had Murphy slipping his head to take
Weir's stabbing let's and this crippled
the little Irishmap's hands. After that
many a round went by without a blow:
Weir would say: why don't you
fight?"
Murphy would rctort: "If 1 had eyes
like yours I'd fight" N.
IF 1 had hands like yours I'd put
you away" Weir would come back.
Ike was a queer and original duck
and used to entertain his guests at his
training quarters, playing plano with
his feet.
