THROAT CUT BY
 NIGHT RIDERS
Planter Bound to Tree and GaShed When
 He Refused 10 Give Promise.

Thomasville, Ga., Jan. 4.-Night rid CTS invaded Thomasville Saturday night, captured B. F. Akridge, bound him to a tree and after maltreating him in shameful manner cut his throat.
 As Sheriff Singletary was going out of town he found Akridge bound to tree and apparently dead. The Sheriff hurried the man to a hospital and he was revived. Although his throat had been gashed and he was wounded in other places, no vital spot was touched and physicians think he will recover.
 Akridge is a prominent planter who lives near here. He says he knows the night riders but will not divulge their names. Akridge says there were eight masked men in the party. They tried to make him swear not to do certain thing and when he refused they bound him to a tree and cut his throat. He says the masked men thought he was dead when they left.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 1.-THE seventh
and deciding game of the worlds baseball
championship series between Pittsburg

lines OF people extended from the ticket

The pitchers probably will be George

in the series. Adams defeated Mullin in
the opening game, but poor fielding be

Mullin held Pittsburg to one hit less than

GREAT PROGRESS MADE
IN STATE FISH PLANT

A report is soon to be issued from the
office of Fred W. Chambers, state fish
and game commissioner showing the
work done by the department during the
last few months in the planting of fish
fry in the various streams of the state
While the exact number will not be known
until the report is complete, it is said
that the calendar year Will show a to-
tai of about 100000 native fry planted
in the various streams throughout Utah.
Commissioner Chambers said Friday
that it is the intention to ship about
10000 fry to Juab county today and the
commissioner viii proceed to make a
cleanup of the hatchery during the
next few weeks making paintings at va
TiOus places through the state <Uhich did
not get their proportion earlier in the
season, and the streams will then be
well stocked for spring.
The work of starting a new hatch will
be commenced next month at the hatch
cry ana a hatch of 100000 fry will be
secured at the hatchery in this county,
while an equal number will be Matched
out at the new Utah county hatchery,
which is to b completed about Dec. 1.
The commissioner announced Friday that
the other hatchery, which is to be built
at Panguitch, probably will be ready for
the June Matching next year.

tween Willis Britt, representing Ketchel
and Johnson, as to the proper person to
whom the money should be transferred.
Johnson accused KetChel of an attempt
to evade the side bet but Britt announced
that his man was confident of pOCketing
the whole amount at the end of the fight
and the matter finally ended by COffTOth
taking the money. which he deposited
with business man to the credit of the
two principals.
With the dispute over the side bet out
of the way nothing is likely to interfere
with the fight. Weather conditions alone
can prevent it, for the sunshine arena"
has no cover over it. but the prediction
for clear weather has been made and it Is
believed that COff-oth will have his usual
good luck in this respect.
The fight is scheduled for twenty rounds
and will begin at p. m, after two ten
round preliminaries. Jack Welch will be
the referee. The betting continues at 10
to 4 that Johnson will win and at even
money that he will knock KetChel out in
less than fifteen rounds. In spite of pre-
dlctOnS to the contrary there was no rush
of ketchel money today to raise the odds
and the pool rooms still hold enough coin
TO keep the odds stable for some time
Considerable money was wagered today
on the fifteen-rOund proposition.

San Francisco. Oct. 15.-The disquieting
rumOr that tOmOTTOws championship
fight between Jack Johnson and Stanley
KetChel might be declared off because of
a dispute over the 5000 side bet agitated
the pugilistiC world for the greater part
of today, but the official announcement
of Promoter J. NJ. Coffroth tonight that
he had taken possession of the $4,000
staked by the two principals in the match
has allayed all fears of the battle not TAX
ing place according to schedule. 1t is
believed that the trouble was due to the
refusal of the appointed stakeholder to
continue in that capacity. This refusal
IS said to have been caused by a fear of
legal complications, for by the terms of
the new anti-betting law in this state It
IS Felony for any one TO act in the ca
pacity of a stakeholder when a bet is
made. Notwithstanding this COfforth took
charge of the money and gave each of the
fighters a receipt for his share. There
is now no doubt that the side BET will
stand as originally made.

holding the stakes after they were trans
ferred from New York, where they were
first posted, announced his disinclination
TO lay himself li1ble to an infraction Of
the anti-betting law. a dispute arose be-

in the sixth race. On recent previous To-

lead hold to the wire. Singleton worked
hard on the Pasadena youngster, Cha

made favOrite, but did not show his eX-

COACH MADDOX WANTS
HELP OF ALL u. MEN

A number Of the old University foot
ball men were at the University Friday
night helping whip the team into shape
for the game with the Golden school
of mines on Oct. %. During the past
week the coach has held secret practices
in order to better perfect some of his
new plays which will be used in the open
field football, On one of the occasions
of clearing the field some of the old
~ men were on the field when the
crowd was cleared away. Coach Mad
dock wishes to correct the impression that
he does not want the old "U'' men on the
field and says that he is anxious to have
them there at all times. The affair in
which some of the "U' men were cleared
from the field was a misunderstanding
on their own part.

a rush order for the construction of two
eight-Oared barges, to be ready for deliv-
cry at New Haven by the middle of Oc-
tober at the very latest, The use of barges
in the preliminary training work at Yale
is a distinct departure from the custom
Of former years.
1t is evident from the placing of this
order that Yale intends to follow the
same scheme that Coach Wray has been
using with success at Harvard in recent
years in giving his varsity crew candi-
dates nlentN of fall rowing

Jockey Mondon lid not appear in the

Yesterday Judge P0meroy wired to Mr.

either he or his partner, Mr.. Lawrence,
