Such an experience as MT. Cox seems to have been victim of is most unusual and almost unbelievable in these days, though in years gone by such incidents were quite common. The practice of "shanghaing," though different in character, belongs to the age of piracy and other outrages on the high seas that in modern times are supposed to exist only in romances or the tales of former generations. But there is no reason to doubt the authenticity of this information, and nothing has developed since the dis appearance of MT. Cox to indicate any possible motive he could have for vol untarily keeping out of sight He was one of the most widely known men in southern Arizona and there are many in Phoenix now who know him inti- mately Among them are B. J. White side of Nogales and Steve ROemer of Benson, both of whom were inter viewed last night concerning the story of the mysterious disappearance. Mir Whiteside said he was at the camp of the Pittsburg and Arizona Company only a short time ago and saw Mrs. Cox, who was much dis tressed and doing everything possi- ble to locate her husband.
 MT. Roemer said that he saw MT. Cox in Benson on December 15. He said he was going to Pittsburg to at tend a meeting of the directors of the company and said he would go to Tucson and take the limited from there. After leaving Benson, which he did suddenly when the next train came in, he wrote back to the hotel while en route to Tucson, apolOgizing for going away without settling his bill. but saying he would be back in a few days and settle it. For some reason he decided to go east from Tucson, via San Francisco. where he had some matters of business to at

LAST WEEK OF THE RACES
Murray Pleases Horsemen by Added
Days-Many Stables to
Winter Here.

The announcement of w NJ Murray,
manager of the Ogden Racing assOcia-
ton, that he will extend his meeting un-
til Thursday is welcomed by the horse
men and many followers of the sport.
That the association, handicapped by the
bad weather Of the past week, has not
made money is known, and Mr.. Muir
rays determination to stay with the
game is looked upon as tal.Ing big
chance.
With the racing season over in Utah
this week, the four remaining days
should See a pretty fight for purse
money by the hOrsemen. AS the majority
of them will ship to the winter tracks,
the need for travelling expenses is great,
and the hOrsemen say they must win to
get away,
Contrary, however. to the wholesale de-
parture of hOrsemen in the past two
years, many plan to winter in Utah, TO
be on hand for the opening of the Ogden
and Salt Lake tracks in May. The ponies
will be placed on ranches near Salt Lake
and Ogden, and with a winters rest are
expected to be in fine shape by spring.
The Salt Lake delegation to the Ogden
track is a large one each day, and will
doubtless increase for the closing days.
+. j. Ramsey, who has one of the
strongest stables now racing at ogden,
has secured a contract on Jockey Jen-
son, "a boy who made great riding rec
ord on the northwestern tracks.
Manager Murray announced last night
that he had made arrangements with the
Ogden Street Car company for special
cars TO meet the Salt Lake racing special
which leaves here at 1915 p. m. over the
BambergeT line.

WHO WILL Be OTHER
MAN IN OGDEN FIGHT?

With Pete Sullivan cinched for one of
the principals at the boxing card to be
presented to the wool growers at Ogden
in January, the question as to the
other man is becoming a live one. It
begins to look that Bird Leg Collins, the
local colOred boy, will be the second
man. The fight promoters have given
up getting Mcfarland, WOlgast and the
others on account of the pTohibitive
guarantee demanded and now want
some one who will make a fight out
of it.
Collins record shows that he never
was knocked out. Joe Burns, his mana
ger, said yesterday that a bet of from
81 to $1,000 would be ready that Collins
would stay the limit of twenty rounds
with Sullivan, as well as a side bet on
the outcome.
Manager Jones of Howard Baker yes
terday posted a forfeit to meet Sulli-
van at catch weights. This looks a
little hard on Pete, as the best Baker
can do is 142
Sullivan is now in training at Sacra-
mento for his go with Indian Joe Gregg
the first week in December. Already in
training, the month after the Gregg
fight will give him plenty of time for
the go at ogden. While most of the
lightweights have sidestepped Collins,
Pete says he will meet him if there is
money in sight. All evidences point to
a lot of backing for Collins from the
colored fight fans of Utah and Idaho.

FLOCKMASTERS IN
IDAHO GET RICH
National Warehouse Said to
Be Great Aid to Wool
growers Interests.

. That southern Idaho is entering upon
one of her greatest eras of prosperity
is the firm opinion of w. H. Philbrick,
a prominent sheepman and dry far
mer" of American Falls, VINO is making
a business visit to Salt Lake. Sheep
men and farmers alike are in a pros
porous condition, according to Mr.. Phil
brick, and the lands under the irri-
cation projects are rapidly being set
tied upon.
Tine outlook in every respect is most
satisfactory" Mr.. Philbrick said yes
terday. Our flOcks are in good Condi-
ton and the ranges were never better.
That we will have an unusually good
year is shown by the fact that from 20
to % cents is already being offered for
wool for spring delivery. l understand
a few clips have been contracted for at
"A cents. This is unusual. contracts
rarely being offered before January.
Last season the opening price for con-
tract delivery was about IS cents and
it was not until spring that the price
went up to "a cents.
we have been remarkably free from
disease among our flOcks There have
been a few outbreaks of scab and the
lip and leg disease, but we have been
successful in checking them. l think
that we are better organized than some
of the surrounding states for the hand
ling of the disease
"One thing that has proven a benefit
to the sheepmen is the national ware
house we established in Chicago this
year. The feasibility of the plan has
not only been demonstrated, but its sue
cess as well. Aside from the fact that
the owner has his clip handled for / cent
per pound as against 1 "a cents, the
usual commission charged, he has the
further benefit of being able to secure
an advance of practically the value of
the clip at the current rate of interest
in Chicago, and still hold control OF it."
Mr.. PhilbTick speaks enthusiastically
over the conditions in the American
Falls territory.
During the present year" he said.
there have been 1000 land locations
filed on in the American Falls land COM
missioner's office. The American Falls
irrigation project is practically COM
pleted, embracing 100000 acres. The
water will be available this year. Prac-
tically all of that land has been taken
up"

RECORDS SHOW MORE DEATHS ON BALL
FIELD THAN ON FOOTBALL GRIDIRONS

New York. Nov. 14.-Despite the fact
that an offhand question as to which
game, football or baseball, has caused
the most deaths, would bring a reply
indicating football in the great major
ity Of cases. Such is not the case.
In the last five years football has
caused So mortalities among players, in
Guiding the deaths already recorded this
season up to date.
In the past five years baseball has
caused lis deaths, including the 80 reg
istered this year OF course baseball is
played longer each year than football
and is engaged in by many more people
than indulge in the gridiron sport. This,
however, will hardly offset the majority
of 30 deaths caused in the spring and
summer game.
In 1OS the grim reaper took toll of
AZ baseball players, while football was
responsible for the death of q players.
In one year only of the five years, 1905,
did football cause more deaths than
baseball. In this year q football play
ers suceumbed TO their injuries and II
baseball players were killed.
The deaths caused in baseball this
year were as follows:
February 24-George Franklin, I'm
perial, Cal, died from injury received
from bail which hit him in head.

ANT|-SMOKE CRUSADE
HITS MANY EMPLOYEES
Enginemen and Firemen in Chicago
Suffer When Citizens Complain
About Coal Smoke.

An entirely new side of the anti-smoke
crusade has arisen in Chicago, where the
powerful unions of railroad employees are
protesting against the proposed electri-
fication of the lines within the city on
account of the great loss of life which
would follow. The unions cite statistics
from New York where the third rail on
rainy nights forms a menace to every
one in the vicinity. They say that Chi
cagO, with all the crooked turns, wouit
become nothing less than a shambles
were either the third rail or the overhead
trolley introduced for terminal lines.
Another protest by the unions is against
the indiscriminate reporting of firemen
and engineers. Chicago has an ordinance
torbidding enginemen to let the locomo-
tive belch forth dense smoke within the
city limits To avoid this a bed of Goals
is made before the engine pulls into the
depot, and nothing but a little smOkeless
coal is put on it until after the engine
gets out of the city limits. Notwithstand-
ing this complaints are made constantly
by citizens and when the FiTemen come
into the rOundhOuSe the master mechanic
lays them off. This has happened so often
that the unions have appealed to the pub
lie to be a little more reasonable. but the
average Chicagoans keen delight in caus-
ing someone else to be reprimanded is
still in daily evidence.

PROSPECTS
BRIGHT FOR Y. NJ. c. A.

Monday night at the Y. NJ. c.. A., the
basketball candidates for the association
five are asked to report. Less than a
month ago the prospects for a strong
team looked slim, but the return of many
of the old men has now changed the out
look.
OF the old men, HOisington and Gum,
the crack guards, are back; GrundfOr,
Wilcox and Hammond, forwards, and
some promising men of last years sec
Ond five are on hand. Hoffman, captain
and center of the 1908 five, says that he
has given up the game as one too siren

that he will get on a suit again.

Especial to The Republican,
Lehi, Nov. 14-With a fast and bril-

The final score was 90 to 20 in favor of

George COwashOw aged H. lay sob
bling most of the day yesterday in a cell
at the city jail and his ideas of the Utah
metropolis have changed decidedly since
o'clock Saturday night. when, in COM
pany with another lad of about his own
age. he boarded a train at Ogden for
Salt Lake, expecting to paint the town
red on his arrival. He walked into the
police station at o'clock Sunday morn
ing, still searching for the good time"
he was SO sure all small boys could find
in a big city. He said his companion
had gone back home.
Home sickness, a weakness of small
boys, developed after a few hours at the
city jail. and George is sure that he
doesn't like the entertainment afforded
boys in this city. Detective Ripley took
the lad back TO Ogden last night.

Il am not in for it yet" he said. Il
do think, however, that this 100000 talk
is too high. l think the man with SIS, 600
in cash right on the spot will get it,
with perhaps the offer of a per cent over
that amount if it comes in at the gate
