Rest For Fire Horses

Gene Bussing, driver Of chemical
engine No. l. has fenced In abou, an
acre Of land up near his place on the
hillside, and It Is planned to use this
as corral and resting place for the
fire horses. Some the horses have
not had a rest or been in pasture for
four or FIVE years there having been
no handy place to let them run. II
Is thought that one OF the horses can
be put in the lot at time. for
month or so. thus giving each of
them a chance to run and roll and eat
a little green grass. Such outings are
as necessary for the animals as Il is
from men and doubtless everyone in
the city will be glad to know that
the handsome FIRE horses will each
get little vacation this summer.

stevens-Johnson Nuptials-


Last evening, at the home OF Cap
tain and Mrs, w. H. Hobson, at 276
Ninth street. there occurred one OF
the prettiest home weddings noted
here in many a day, The principals
in the happy affair were Miss Alma
Johnson and Mr. George w, Stevens,
both widely and most favorably
known in this city where they have
have dwelt all their lives, Rev. w,
Semour Short rector OF Grace Epis-
copal church, performed the gracious
ceremony, according to the beautiful
ritual Of that church, and found ex-
ceeding pleasure in the duty as he
has known the young people practi-
eally all their lives, The parlors were
handsomely decorated in ferns and
flowers, the especial feature being a
small chancel, with rail, behind which
and beneath a magnificent floral bell,
the wedding party stood while the
sacred lines that bound their lives
we're read, There were many guests
present, some OF them coming from
Portland and other points to witness
the happy event, Mr. Robert W. Nc.
Lean acted as best man and Miss
Huntington served the pretty bride
as maid The bride was gowned in
sheer white satin and was daintily
yelled, the groom being in conven-
tional black, After the ceremony a
splendid wedding lunch was served,
and Mr., and Mrs, Stevens we're made
to realize the devoted interest Of
friends and kinsmen in their new flu
ture, by way of sincere and hearty
toasts and congratulations, They will
make their home in this city after
they have returned from their honey
moon trip.

In fact, while he is endeavoring to
nail the flag of the white race to
Johnson's yellow streak he is more
likely to take a 'Brodie to the mat.
Ketche's plan of battle, 1t is
stated, is to wade in and tear John
sons hen-house to pieces, which is
to say that the negro's kitchen will
be his main point of attack. He
can't reach that bobbing black
head, and even if he could he would
hurt himself more than he would
his opponent. So, naturally he must
go after the stomach. If he sue
ceeds in landing couple of his ter
rible drives he will make the black
awfully. sick and perhaps finish
him. Perhaps.
In the meantime it must be borne
in mind that Johnson holds his
stomach in high regard, especially
when threatened by fist, and that
his gorilla-like arms are as good
as a sheet of Harveyized steel ar
NOR plate.
Again, which will be the one to
come off

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct Which
smile will be the one to come off?
Ketchel or Johnson?
With Ketchel, challenger for the
! heavyweight championship of the
world, on the ground, and Jack
{ johnson, black holder of the much
coveted title, almost ready for the
gong that will send the little white
man and the gigantic negro away
the afternoon of October IL, the
fight fans are beginning to figure
seriously on the respective chances
of the pair.
Here it is: When Johnson fought
0'Brien he didn't slip over the
knockout because he wouldn't if he
could have and couldn't If he would
have. Sounds bit complex, but
it's right. In the first place, John
son was hog fat, champagne had
cut his speed, he had no training
and didn't care. In the second
place, he wasn't going to show ev-
erything he knew, because he bad
made up his mind not to tip his
mitt for the benefit of Jim Jeffries.
He fought, as he fought against AL
Kaufman, under wraps. In both
fights he employed only his famous
right uppercut and a straight left
jab. Not once did he try a punch
that carried the knockout. So any
Judge of boxing who saw either
one of the blacks two most i'm
portant fights since his return from
Australia will tell you that he has
something good in reserve-some-
thing that is as good as Papke
gave Ketchel when he knocked him
out. and not even the most rabid
partisan of the sensational Mich.
gan fighter will contend that
Papke is one half the fighter that
johnson is.
Johnson is taller, stronger,
heavier than Ketchel. He is fully
as fast on his feet, hits harder, is
a far better boxer than Ketchel
and as a defensive fighter is with
out peer. Where, then, can
ketchel have 1t on him?
In gameness, 80 out of 100 bugs
will tell you.
johnson has yellow streak

Even johnson himself isn't sure
that he hasn't a yellow streak.

He invited friend to din cone

denly asking: Jack, do you think
you are gamer
For moment Johnson was
stunned. When he recovered from
his establishment he grinned a
sheepish grin and said: Il don't
know, Mr.. Coffroth."
Again, while fighting Kaufman,
one of the spectators in the cham
pion's corner shouted between
rounds: you've got yellow
streak, Jack"
Quickly turning to the man who
had hurled the taunt, but without
the least display of anger, Johnson
shot back: Yes, maybe / have, but

be able to locate it,
If Ketchedl can locate it, fine for
