Driver Zirbies is that floods, Ice snow and
deep mud may be encountered at inter-
walls along the entire route, with possi-
bility of enforced detours in the Missis-
sippi river valley on account of inunda-

The Glidden tour annually has been in

development of the cars and the In
oustry. In 1905 1t began in New York
city and terminated in the same city after
a trip of $40 miles in the New England dis
triet. The following year the strenuous

fight. Wolgast says Nelson will have to
wait He proposes to exercise the privil-
eyes of the champion now that he holds
the title, he states.
Wolgast agreed that Nelson is entitled
to another fight.
T Sporting writer's are inclined to doubt
that the men will meet again They ap-
parently concur in believing that Nelson
has gone back" and that his age and
years of fighting and training have told on
him. but mold him to be still a dangerous
man.
Ia the meantime they are casting about
for the next fstic event 1t appears to
be Nelson against Cyclone Johnny"
Thompson. The managers of the pair met
today, and again tonight, to discuss a
90 round match at no distant date. They
are said to have virtually agreed to gen.
eral terms and that the winner is to
challenge Wolgast.
Another topic of sporting conversation
tonight was the challenge from Joe Cans,
| who lost no time in claiming Wolgast' S
attention. The negro asked for 20-round
| bout. but it is not thought likely his chal-
| lenge will produce results.
Nelson spent the day in the baths. He
| left for Chicago at o'clock. He was
| much battered about the face but showed
nc loss of spirit. He says he was over
trained.
In his ability to come back he said he
was prepared to wager $500 as a. side bet

vote himself to his theatrical engagements
for the present and later go to his ranch
in New Mexico.

EDWARD ]. WHITE
DIES IN ARIZONA
Left Baraboo in 1868 and
Never Back.
Since.

Edward J. White, who left Baraboo
with w. w. Warner, now of Madison,
in 1868 for the mining regions of the
west, died few days ago in Dos
Cabezos, Ari. He was the first paleface
in that place, its population being
wholly Mexican. AS he was approach
ing it alone on horseback more than
40 years ago, just at twilight, he spied
two Apaches silhouetted against the
skyline at the top of butte a short
distance ahead. Instantly he lashed off
swiftly into the desert and thus escaped
with his life, the Indians, hot after
him but unable to follow long owing
to the gathering darkness. Mr.. White
had many fine mining opportunities,
but like most other prospectoTs, fell
short of gaining riches. He was long
postmaster at Dos Cabezos, and
though living in wild, rude,
was yet fond of Byron and
other classics. He never returned to
Baraboo, where resides two sisters,
Mrs. Boyd w. BIachley and Mrs. Sam
uel Briscoe. His parents went to rest
long before. Mr.. White was SO years
age.
