San Francisco, Oct. 10.-Even money

piOn of the world, will last fifteen rounds
to ! that Jack Johnson, the big negro
heavyweight champion, will retain his
title after Oct. Is, when the two men will
engage in twenty-round battle at COlma
arena, were the prevailing odds among
the fight fans today
Despite the fact that Ketchel is train
ing for his first contest in the heavy
weight class, the Michigan pugiIist has a
large following in this city. There seems
TO be any amount of the fifteen-round
money, and considerable is being wageTed
that Ketchel will get the decision
In the presence of several newspaper
men yesterday KetChel tipped the scales
at his training quarters at ia pounds, the
most he has ever weighed in training.
According to his manager, Willis Britt,
he will enter the ring at o'clock weigh
ing not less than rs. As Johnson plans
to fight at 1876, there will be a difference
Of eighteen pounds between them when
the gong sounds.
If Britts prediction is verified, Ketchel
will be heavier than many men who have

PIRATES ATTACK TIGERS LAIR TODAY
DOPE FOR EARLY
WAGERS IS UPSET
Odds on Worlds Series and
the Fight Are LeVeIing
Down.

In fandom in Salt Lake there are a few
who are not feeling in the best of spirits
over their chances of winning certain
wagers laid some time ago. They are the
ones who laid as nigh as to 1 that the
Pirates would whip the Tigers, and as
high as to / that Johnson would win
from Ketchel. They have seen the odds
beaten down until it is now even money
on the ball game and but to 1 on john
son.
The holders Of the short end on Detroit
are wearing a smile and many are now
feeling leeway enough to lay even money
that the Tigers will win the series. They
say that the Tigers broke even away from
home and should go a little better in the
midst of their cheering thousands of fans
at home.
The dope shows that both Cobb and
Crawford, the two men feared most by
Fred Clarke, have been a little off their
feed so far as batting goes. Each IS due
for good wallOp at the ball yet, and it
may come when badly needed.
As to the fight Saturday night, it will
see a lot of interest in Salt Lake De-
spite the fact that Ketchers odds are
around town. On the question of how
long Ketchel will stay in the ring comes
the most play. Here again, however.
JOhnsOn's aptitude to allow an opponent
to stay a good bit longer than necessary
comes in. The black likes to play with
his man once he feels certain that the
tight is his. and like number of other
champions he does not mind getting a lit
tie easy gasoline money on a compare
tive cinch bet. Then again, the longer he
can keep KetChel in the ring. with a SEM
blance Of fighting hard, Just so much
shorter will be the price on Jeffries and
the better odds can Johnson get for his
money if the big fight mirage material
ICES.
The round question is a hard one to
beat, but the outcome of the fight is a
good bet on Johnson, as he cannot afford
to lose the decision.

LIVE SEASON IN INDOOR
ATHLETICS FOR n. G. j.

Preparations for an active season of in

the Salt Lake companies, the signal corps

Game Is On.

The first football game of the Univer-
sity season, played Saturday with the
Utah Aggies at Logan, convinced the fans
that the University will have as fast a
team this year as has been seen since
Coach Joe Maddox took charge OF the
squad. About the game Coach Maddox
said yesterday:
Il admit that l was surprised at the
size of the score run up by Utah against
the Aggies. The eleven worked fine and
the new men particularly showed fln5
class. Both Romney and Love played
remarkable games for their first var
sity attempt They each play so hard
however, that it will be one of my great
est concerns to keep them off the injury
list. While the score was large, the a,
c. team is conner and with a month OF
play viii be 100 per cent stronger than
Saturday. Our next meeting Will be lar
from an easy task to win"
The Utah team was not Over-jOyous re
gaTding the manner in which 1t was treat
ed by the Aggie squad. One of the men
played in many games Of football, but
never had he played in a game where
there was a much smuggling as in the Sat
urday game. Another sore spot was the
fact that they were compelled to com,
home without the ball used in the game
When the team left the field Coach Mad
dock looked for the ball, but was tOl0
that Coach Teetzel had secured the bal
and would not give it up, contrary to ali
football custom.

Montana school is small, they have SOM

PORTER THE LUCKY ONE.

The report of the Pittsburg baseball
club made on the seat sale for the first
worlds series game says:
The sale developed some queer Incl

Up to date the patrons of the track
have certainly had no cause for complaint,
as form has been very much in evidence.
During the thirteen days of racing prior
to the state fair seventy-eight races were
run and in fOrty-six of these favorites
finished first, and just One-half of the
remaining events went to second choices
in the betting. The percentage of win
ming favorites was just a shade under
SO per cent-a noteworthy showing. Tween
ty-fOur of the winning top choices went
to the post at evens or better, and tn
odds about the others ranged from to q
to to 10.

Contrary to late reports, the Utah team
will have a game with the Colorado Min
ers this year Manager Harold Robinson
and Coach Joe Maddox have been cor
responding with the Colorado school al.
fCll and have finally arranged for game
between the two schools at Denver, Oct
%. On account of the athletic squabbl
in Colorado last year it was not though
that it would be possible to secure a game
the coming year with a Colorado school.
The turn of events, however, is hailed
with delight by the Utah supporters, as
they will have an opportunity to compare
the Utah team with the University OF
Colorado and make a bid for the Rocky
Mountain championship.
The game with the Colorado Miners will
call off the game with the University
of Southern California. which was all but
signed up This is made necessary on
account of the action of the University
faculty in holding the Utah team down to
five games during the season.

from these farms last year they sold AZ, o0c
pounds of butter and 1900 gallons OF
cream. These farmers have on their farms
at the present time over 5000 mich cows,
and at the present time are using 236
cream separators. Besides this they have
10000 stock cattle on their farms. The
poultry industry of this county is of no

of dressed poultry.
Cheyenne county has a population of
1900, with a valuation of 50, 426, 266. The
county is well supplied with railroads. as
the main line of the Union Pacific passes
through 1t from east to west, and the
Denver and Black Hills line of the Bur-
lington from north to south. making
seventy-five miles of railroad, with five
railroad stations in the county,
Cheyenne is one of the leading counties
OF western Nebraska, in point Of interest
taken in public schools. 1t has forty-
seven school buildings, with sixty-six
teachers, with average of salary running
from $S to SCI per month. Miss Edith II.
Morrison has lately been appointed by the
county commissioner as superintendent of
schools. There are about forty counties OF
the state having women for county super-
intendents.
Agriculture is attracting more attention
To-Day than at any other time in the history
OF the county. Homeseekers are coming in
and building up new agriculture communi-
ties of considerable Importance, and II
must not be forgotten that they are bring
ing with them, order, social life, and the
modern home. One of the surprising dis
appointments of the visitor to Cheyenne
county, who is looking for newness and
something western, is that he cannot find
any of the new things described In west
ern' stories. There is energy. auickness
OF apprehension and action and character:
there is also courtesy, hospitality, educa-
ton. acute Intelligence, good manners, ana
good clothes. This evolution in rural life
has, Of course, had the effect of enhancing
land values and it can be truly said that
the free delivery and the telephone have
added hundreds of thousands of dollars to
the value of agricultural lands in this

of Cheyenne county. The American people
had formed the beef habit. BY this time 1t
had been fully demonstrated that Cheyenne
county's cattle range had this faculty Of
doubling values. The industrious drover
was no fool; he began to locate ranges for
himself. The Spaniard was the original
cattle ranchman in the west and he made
progress from the start. You will hardly
turn a corner in our dictionary in western
Nebraska without running up against him.
Yet 1t gives one a little thrill to find all
across the plains country where they left
their bones these unobliterated footprints
of the pioneers. The live stock interests
have undergone a marked change since the
organization of Cheyenne county. with
the thinning out of the larger ranches, the
largely increasing acreages of alfalfa, the
inevitable development of the dairying
industry is not far off. The Nebraska steer
is responsible for hundreds of prosperous
homes in all part of Cheyenne county, but
little winter feeding is done. The ranch
house usually occupies some little valley
on a clear stream, and it is an interesting
sight and undoubtedly a reassuring sight
to the ranchman to view the hundreds of
cattle on their first great wave of the
prairie-and beyond.
The cowboy of today does not live under
the conditions that marked his life a gem
GRAFTON ago. The old cattle trail from
Dodge City to Ogalalla and Sidney has
been thoroughly obliterated. The railroads
have superseded the trail. and what the
railroads left undone the small ranchers
have completed. But there is still plenty
Of work for a good cowboy, and there is no
lack of romance in his work. Owing to the
breaking up of the great herds, there has
come an increased demand for men who
know how to care for cattle. Saddle manu-
facturers are turning out more cowboy
saddles today than in the days OF the
range kings. simply because there are more
men in the cattle business and more herds.
1t is no longer a question of what So
ciety one will find in Sidney. Men and
women are not far to seek in this thrifty
city as gentle in manners as refined in
speech, as clean in life as can be found

How a Lawyer Lost n Fee.

According to Texas old timers, the late
Colonel Bob Taylor Of Bonham once met a
woman in the road as he was riding on
horseback to hold court In Delta county,
he being then district Judge. The woman
had a jug of water and the Judge was
thirsty, relates the Dallas Times.
Being a man with a CHEEKY word for
everyone, the colonel stopped her.
MY dear madam" he said, smiling, IF
you will give me a drink of cool water
from yonder jug, when you want a divorce
from your husband l will see that it costs
you nothing"
Are you a lawyer" inquired the woman,
handing him the jug.
The colonel explained who he was and,
waving a farewell. departed, leaving the
woman gazing after hiA.
The very next morning the woman showed
up In the court room and asked for him.
She explained that she wanted a divorce.
She had been separated from her husband
for a long while and the colonel had put
an idea into her head.
The colonel was game. however. He pro-
cured a lawyer at his own expense and In
due course Of law the woman was given a
divorce, and Colonel Taylor would tell the
joke on himself often.
