a contract made some years ago.
Judge Pierce caused the action 20 be

I Start After That Championship.

S soon as the big fight at Carson
n was all over Corbett was rushed

train. They had intended 10 get
him there in time for a big reception
but that was all of. of course.
The snow began TO fall again in the
afternoon. Without waiting to see the
other fights that were TO go on az 2
O'Clock Charlie White and I left the
arena and went for a long walk through
the back streets Of Carson We were
half stunned by the unexpectedness OF
it all. Il changed our plans in mo-
ment. Instead Of starting eastward
with a great hurrah We were up against
il.
I felt a little blue myself. aside from
being sorry for COrbett. because I knew
now that the only thing coming to me
for several weeks of hard work was the
experience In a way 1 had been gam
bling on the fight If Corbett had won
we would have had a liberal share Of
his winnings. But It was winner take
all. and he and his brothers had all bet
heavily on his chance and they werl all
big losers.
Charlie White and I walked down the
streets and around corners for a long
:ime without saying a word / was
thinking he fight over round by round.
After a while I stopped and asked:
Charlie, are those two really great
heavyweigllts?"

Years Ago.

A telegram received here this
morning from Denver, Colorado, by
friends of Frank Arrowsmith, con-
veyed the sad news that he had died
I'm that city, Sunday morning at one
o'clock. The cause of death was not
given and is not known here, how
ever II is supposed that II resulted
from Brights' disease from which he

Inferred in Marion cemetery by the
side of those of Mrs. Arrowsmith,
who died some years ago. Friends
of Mr.. Arrowsmith arc awaiting u
message telling the time of the ar
rival in this city.
Mr.. Arrowsmith was one of the,
best known men in this city. For
many years he was conductor on the
Erie railroad running between Mar
ion and Chicago but after the sud-
den death of Mrs. Arrowsmith some
years ago, he retired from the road
and has since been living a retired
life. The sudden death of Mrs. Ar
rowsmith was shock from which he
never recovered. Mrs. Arrowsmith
was sitting on the veranda of her
home one summer evening when she
klddenly N hed foreward out of
her chair and died before assistance
could be secured. Since that day
Mr.. Arrowsmith has been heart
broken man. He has not been con-
tent to remain in any place for long
and has spent the greater part OF his
time in the West.

ago when w. II. Allison, president
of the First National bank, of Boul-

of this friendship that Mr.. Arrow
smith again went West. Mr.. ALI
son was killed on the day that Mr..

dent until he arrived in Boulder on
the day of Mr.. Allison's funeral.
on the day that Mr.. Arrowsmith
left Marion he seemed very despond-

south State street and when about to
leave he Informed Prof. Hartman
that he never expected to see the
home again. "In fact" said he. 81

with tears yelling in his eyes, he
waived adieu to Mr.. Hartman and
went away, apparently heartbroken.
There Is not n relative to mourn
Mr. Arrowsmith's demise. He was

known he Is without n relative in
