the bandages he said: "Why, Jeff,
your hands and arms are cold and
clammy." The big fellow kept chew
ing his gum and replied; "Thcy will
be all right after We fight round OF
two"
When he took his clothes1Aoff and
stepped to the center OF the ring to
be presented TO the spectators he
straddled his legs and his arms hung
by his side apparently helpless. The
moving pictures will show this more
plainly than words can tell Instead
OF the trained athlete who wns about

realized the Importance of his POSI-

WhislIey Concern Sends the State of
South Carolina $4,000.

A check for $4,000 has been re-
ceived by Attorney General Lyon
from the William Lanahan whisky
firm of Baltimore, which did extern
.sive business with the old state dis
pensary, in payment of an over
judgment found against the firm by
the dispensary commission at it's sit
ting last fall.
The over-judgment amounted to
$4,000. The company had a claim
of $4,000 against the state This is
wiped out in the agreement. The
Lanahan company had appealed to
the supreme court, but this will be
abandoned, with the state $4,000
to the good on the deal.
Representatives of the Lanahan
company on the stand at the hearing

had ever been overcharged for goods

AS he approached he aw the out

halted and called to the man to
come out. You'd better go back to
your wife" was the reply.
The newspaper man did not act at
once upon this advice, neither did
he advance, being unarmed. Sud-
denly an unrecognized negro man
dashed out of the house, hurled a

Editor Stanford was clad for

hurt his feet, he did not give chase.
But he longed for a gun.

Her Graft Is Autos, and Theft of
Many Cars Is Charged to Her.
A New York dispatch says: While
the police today sought high and low
for Mrs. M. Morton, small, dark-eyed
and about 10 years old, and warned
other cities to look for her also, they
uncovered the newest thing in lar
ceny-the stealing of automobiles.
The police say Mrs. Morton has a
record of automobile thefts extending
through various cities from San
Francisco to Boston.
Mrs. Morton is charged with the
theft of a $4,000 automobile from
Frank Homan, a garage keeper. She
went out for spin to try the car be-
fore purchasing it, and never came
back. Neither did the auto.
In Chicago, under the name of Mrs.
]. N. Spalding, she stopped at the
Auditorium Annex and got away with
$4,000 machine.
In San Francisco she registered at
the Fairmont as Mrs. Oretga, and
worked the same scheme. In Denver
she secured another $4,000 automo-
bile while stopping at the Brown
Palace.
The police say she is accompanied
by man, supposed to be her hus-
band, and that she has stolen $780,
600 worth of automobiles in three
years.
