MARRIES
Nurse who Attended Him In
A Sanitarium
Newark Advocate)
Count one for Dan Cupid.


That little love god, who oftimes
works in a peculiar manner, scored
again yesterday, when Charles Clay
and Mrs. Daisy Black were married.
Theirs is a real love match and it
all came about through cutting af-
fray that took Clay to the sanitarium
During the summer Clay went into
Joe Ami's little grocery one afternoon
and after an alteration the men came
to blows.
Grabbing up big cheese knife Ami
rushed at Clay and stabbed him in the
abdomen, inflicting a horrible wound.
Clay was rushed to the sanitarium
and for weeks he lay in that hospital
and was cared for by Mrs. Black, a
nurse of that institution.
Clay possessed iron nerve and a
splendid constitution and through a
skillful operation performed by DR..
G. F. Leggee, and tender nursing, he
gradually recovered. He was a model
patient, and Mrs. Black a tender
nurse and vigorous three-cornered
fight against death was waged, and
the three were victorious.
Day after day the injured man lay
In his bed and watched his nurse,
who anticipated his every want, and
gradually d. Cupid made his presence
felt and the love between the nurse
and the patient grew.
They weren't bit superstitious and
Friday they visited the court house
and the license was secured. Last
night they were married and their lit
tie romance came to happy ending.

JOHNSON IS LOSING

25.-Jack Johnson is going To have
trouble holding his weight of 21O
pounds, and will probably be forced

1875 pounds. according to statements
of close observers today. The rea-
son lies in the fact that the color
line was drawn on the negro by Reno
folks.
II he had been permitted TO train
at LaUghton's Hot Springs, as he
originally planned, he would have
had an ideal place. cool and away
from the hot desert winds.

Johnson was compelled to locate his
camp here, which is poorly situated
for training. His quarters are located
at the foot of a hill where the wind
does not get a chance 10 temper the
heat Of the desert sun.
In my opinion. despite JOhnsOn's an
npunced intention of entering the
ring weighing 210 pounds. he Will be
at least ten pounds lighter.
Al kaufman, whom Johnson once
defeated in a ten-round match, will
serve as Johnson's chief sparring
partner from now on JOhnson's
training for the remaining days be-
fore the fight will consist of road
