Representative Browns bill to pro-
vide a bounty for crows heads was in
spired by the farmers of White county.
he said, whose activities during the
early corn growing season are divided
between caring for the tender shoots
and frightening away the dusky
maurauders that settle down upon the
fields by tens of thousands and feed
on the green blades. His measure pro-
vides that boards of county commits
sioners may offer bounty of not to
exceed 10 cents a head for crows killed.
the bounty being optional with the
boards. in our northern counties =
said Brown, ''the loss among the farm
ers from crows amounts to thousands
of dollars annually. They feel in
White county, at least, that they can
well afford to pay the increase in taxes
If an increase is necessary to provide
for the bounty money"
Senator KimmePs bill changing the
amount which shall be paid for trans
fer of children from one school corpo-
ration to another was passed by vote
of 40 to o. Senator Kimmel said that
school corporations could. under the
provisions of his bill, charge 81 a month
tuition in high schools and 81 for the
grades, where expenses of teaching JUS
titled. Under the present lay school
corporations can charge no more than
50 month in the high schools and $1.5o
in the grades. The cost of teaching
transferred pupils often amounts to
much more than school corporations are
allowed to charge and relief is needed
it was argued. BY an amendment to
the bill the cost of transfer of pupils
may be paid out of both the tuition and
common school funds.

WOLGAST WALLOPS
 BATTLING NELSON
Lucky for fhe Dane That the lightweight Championship Did Not Hinge on
 Battle.
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Los Angeles, July 14.-F1ght fans to- day declare it is a lucky thing for Bat ting Nelson that the lightweight championship of the world did not hinge on his ten round battle last night with Wolgast, the Milwaukee lad. For if it had Wolgast would have been champion. Ten gruelling rounds be- fore the Pacific A. c. at Maud June ton last night Wolgast whipped Nell son fairly. and properly. Nine of the ten rounds were counted for Wolgast who struck four blows to Nelson's one and had the champion towering up'' all the time. Although Nelson was game and kept boring in'' as he al- ways does, Wolgast was his master and kept reaching him with terrific rights and lefts to the jaw. Nelson could not avoid the heavy wal1ops and he was forced back a dozen times in the latter rounds.
 Throughout the fighting Wolgast landed continually on Nelson's face and had his adversary bleeding from the second round.s Wolgast showed scarcely a mark of the encounter. At the finish Wolgast looked strong and fresh while the Battler's face was cov- cred with blood and his mouth and nose were cut and swollen.
 Even in the clinches where Nelson had whipped many a less hardy man, Wolgast only feather, was as good break in every one of them. Wolgast had Nelson dazed and clinching repeat edly. Wolgast tried hard to put his man out in the last round and sent in some blows that would have stopped many a less hardy man.

By EDWARD PAYsoN WESTON.

.Suisin, Gal, July 13.-The heat was so intense yesterday, the thermometer no in the shade, that I did not reach Dixon until after midnight. In addi- ton to sending two extra men to pilot me over the trestles, the superinten- dent of the Sacramento division of the Southern Pacific Railroad issued the following order to conductors and en- gineers:
 MT. Weston, pedestrian, is on dis trict between Sacramento and Davis, walking. All engine men keep care full lookout for him on all trestles, and come to a. stop if necessary when find ing him on trestle to allow him to get to end of it.''
 Thus I was made free from anxiety, on one of which I straddled along within twelve inches of the track to allow a train to pass. I took a nap of two hours on a railroad truck in Dixon and then came here, and shall go at least to Benicia tonight, thirty-seven miles. leaving about thirty-four miles to walk into San Francisco.

He rarely falls down on a difficult ball. and can throw to first base, or any where else, from almost impossible angles while stopping, or standing erect.
