On Evening of January 81,
Three Sparring Contests
Are Billed.
CHARLES OLSON COMING
ON EVENING OF JANUARY ~ HE
WILL TAKE ON GREAT FRENCH
GRAPPLER, De RoUEN-WILL
BE GOOD MATCH.

Now that the local police have de-
clared their stand In respect to boxing
matches, and stated that they have no
objections to bouts being held in this
city. providing the sport is clean and
not brutal, local lovers of the game
have arranged for some interesting
bouts to be held in the coliseum on
Monday evening, January 81.
The pricipal match on that date will
be between Kid Clark and Russell
Van Horne. The bout will be for ten
rounds. Both are clever boxers and
are about evenly matched. The next
event will be six round bout between
Sammy Trott and Kid Griswold, both
weighing under 1O5 pounds. Another
curtain raiser to the big bout Young
Lane and Lew Shilling will fight it out
for four rounds. They are also in the
light weight class, weighing 10
pounds each.
On the same evening two wrestling
matches will also be held. Billy Scho-
Der will test his strength against John
Larry while Nick Lewis will grapple
with Charles Ole for honors.
Olson to Appear Here.
Two big wrestling matches will be
held in the Coliseum ON Monday even.
ing, January "a Charles Olson of In
dianapolis, the local favorite, will be
pitted against Rauel DeRouen, 1.-THE
rough-house Frenchman." Notwith-
standing the fact that Olson weighs
but $50 pounds and DeRouen tips the
scales at 30 pounds. the great handi'
cap in avoirdupois will not prevent the
match from being decidedly interest
ing. 1t will be a case of cleverness
and speed against brute strength, and
it is the opinion of the local followers
of the game that Olson will be the vic.
tor. The match between Yousef Nah
mout, 'the terrible Turk" weighing
30 pounds and Stanly Fitzsimons, zoo
pound Australian champion, gives
promise to be another hard fought con-
test, and one that will be intensely in.

A REAL SPRING DAY.
With a Sigh of Relief Local
People Temporarily Laid
Aside FurS.
TIRED FEELING VISIBLE

Furs and overcoats were cast aside
today. temporarily, for not one doubts
that they will be brought into use
many more times before the winter
is over. However, it is certain that
tie heavy apparel was not needed
today. The air was warm and balmy
and the sun shone brightly. There
was not a cloud visible throughout the
day and the delightful weather was
the chief topic OF conversation ev.
erywhere. The mercury outdid itself
rolling back to the comfortable mark
after visiting in the region of zero
for most OF the time during the past
month. and everybody welcomed the
return OF the silver liquid, too.
That tired feeling infested many per-
sons today. Spring fever has arriv-
ed but not ''for keeps" for it is far
too early for that disease to become
generally prevalent in this communi-
ty. Today was an ideal one for walk
ing and those who are fond Of this
healthful invigorating exercise were
given a nexcellent opportunity to
stretch their weary limbs after weeks
of close confinement. Many automo-
biles were removed from storage
where they had been placed during the
winter and the buzz of the gasoline
wagons was plainly audible on the
country roads.

DOC" GEM GETS
THREAT BY MAIL
Street Commissioner Won
derS If the "BIack Hand''
Is After Him.
He FIRES STREET WORKER
AND As A RESULT "Doc" GETS A
SEVERE CALLING AND THE
ENGLISH LANGUAGE is BAD
w aUTcHERED.

An anonymous letter of a threaten
ing nature was received yesterday by
Street Commissioner D. C. Gem, from
some person who is evidently dissatis-
fled over the discharge of Willis Laf-
lin, a teamster, from the street clean
ing department. The letter is signed
"A Friend to You"
The writer is evidently firm be-
lever in the phonetic form Of spelling
and the way he butchered the English
language was a sin. The letter stat
ed that unless Mr. Gem re-employed
Mr.. Laflin he must take the "koncu.
qunses" of his act. The writer says
that Mr. Latin is not angry at Mr.
Gem. but that others are and trouble
is brewing.
The letter is treated as huge joke
No attention will be paid to the mat,
ter and no effort will be made to estab-
lish the identity Of the author. Mr.
Gem stated that he thought he knew
who was responsible for the missive
and was not much alarmed at the
threat.

first, but for the past few years his
health has generally declined. Sew

yesterday at the trial OF William F..
Clark's suit to recover $4,000 from

had trouble in restraining William T.
Manning. the chief boomer
Mr.. Chanler said he first went to
sec Manning in August. 1907. as re-
suit of talk with his brother, VIII

my brother said to me: Lewis, l
think the time has come for you to
make good. You've been hanging
back down there at Albany doing moth
ing. Now's the time for you to get
busy and get your name in the papers.
Brother Downs Objections.
Il told my brother that thought I
had kept myself pretty we'll to the
front and was satisfied that was we'll
known. He said: Now is the time for
you to come out and show what you
are made of. There has been a good
deal of feeling among the fasteners
against Bryan and we think now is the
right time to crystalize the movement.
II said didn't think it would do any
good to bring anybody out against Bry-
an because when the proper time came
he would have the delegates.
"'You are not the best judge of that
my brother said. These people know
more about 1t than you do
WHO are they" ! asked. He told
me that Manning was one of them and
that 10000 would be enough to start
the campaign. ...'a.
Cannot See PubIieity's Good.
Il said: I don't believe in this pub
licity business. for never saw any
good come from It, He said: I know,
but you don't understand what Man
ming wants to do. He understands
what he wants to do, and knows how
he wants to do It.
III he gets you elected 1t will be a
great thing for him as publicity
man."
Mr.. Chanler said that he raised 3d.
600 as soon as possible. and gave it to
his brother for Manning and later got
together $4,000 more as soon as he
could raise 1t.
After that Clark told him things
were going badly. Mr.. Chanler said
he had paid all he was going to. CLARK
said: Then things will bust up and I
replied: All right, let 'em bust'"
