on the Pleasant View farm, managed
by Charles Bull, seven miles from here
The death took place at p. m. and
the old track campaigner was buried
at nightfaI.
Jay Eye Sees death was due to old

ishment. The spot where his remains
lie viii be marked by granite shaft.
Jay Eye See was 81 years old. hav-
ing been born in 1878, on the farm of
Colonel Richard West, near Lexington,
KY. He was by Dictator out Of Mid

a mere chance that Mr.. Case came into
the possession of the afterwards fam

SPORTING NOTES
KELLY PROVES TOO
CLEVER FOR KLAUS
Chicago Middle Weight Be
wilders Pittsburg Boxer
in Six Round Go.

Pittsburg. Pa, June 26.-Hugo Kelly
of Chicago defeated Frank Klaus, the
local middle weight in a fast six-round
fight at the Bijou theater tonight. The
Chicago man proved entirely too clever
for the local boxer and his jabs had
Klaus in trouble all the way.
Kelly insisted before the fight that
the bout be a clean break affair. and
after considerable debating Klaus
agreed to this. The local boxer was
considerably handicapped by this rule
as he has always fought straight rules.
battling himself free from the clinches.
The first three rounds of the battle
were tame, each man trying to size up
his opponent. Beginning with the
fourth Kelly cut loose and his clever
ness had Klaus bewildered at times.
The latter fought back fercely. how
ever. and landed many hard blows. He
gave Kelly a bad eye and received a
discolored optic in return.
The battle was witnessed by crowd
of $500. who braved the intense heat
to see Klaus meet one of the best
middle weights in the country.

ty, charge that Ely approached them
recently with q scheme to run off a
fake footrace, on which they were to
win big money. They refused. and
they say he proposed a fake wrestling
match. They did not like the idea. and
then he is said to have suggested a
prize fight, first in Hammond and then
in Chicago, In which they were to bet
heavily on Grand. whom he touted as
a wonder.
Becoming suspicious the farmers told
Sheriff Russell. He told them to ac-
company the pair to this city. as they
had suggested. Then he notified the
Chicago police to watch for Grand
while he kept on eye on Ely, who re-
manned behind.
The farmers say that when they met
Grand here he told them the lid" was
down tight and that they would have
to pull it off, in Toledo. Then he
was arrested.
Ely took the train for this city ir
the afternoon, and the sheriff boarded
the same car Becoming suspicious. ap.
parently, Ely dropped off at the frs

FOUR MARKSMAN TIE
IN GRAND AMERICAN
Finals in Classic Handicap
Will Have to Be Shot
Off This Morning.
LIvINGSTON'S BAD LUCK
Misses Three in Succession When He
Seems to Have Prize in His
Grasp.

Four men are tied for first place in
the classic Grand American handicap
afterone of the closest and most in
teresting races seen in the big event
for several seasons. John R. Livings-
ton, Fred A. Shattuck, George E. Burns
and William Wettleaf, all amateurs,
broke 96 out of 100 targets and upheld
the reputation of the shoot for always
going to dark horse.
The final round will be shot this
morning.
After John R. Livingston of Spring
vile, Ala. seemed to have the first
money in his grasp at the end of the
fourth round at the traps, wherein he
lost but one target. he fell down
badly in the last series of twenty, just
as Chauncey l. Powers did in the Grand
American two years ago, when he also
seemed to have the race won.
At the time Livingston dropped his
three targets out of the last twenty
in rapid succession no contender ap-
peared to be within striking distance
| of him. But Shattuck and wettleaf
both steadied down in their last series
of twenty and equaled the winner s
score.
This left but one man with possible
! chance to win. 1t was George e.
Burns of Cleveland, a veteran of long
practice. who shot from the sixteen
yard line Had he been able to make
a clean sweep in his last twenty, his
total would have been 81, which would
have won. But on his first target he
missed, or at least barely busted
the clay missile. and it went skimming
away unframed. He broke his nexr
10 in order and this made his score
90. leaving him one of the quartet
which will compete for honors tomor.
