workout room of the association looks
better than 1t ever has before. 1t

until it fairly glistens. The apparatus
which, by the way, more than meets
with the approval Of the new man, is
also in excellent sSape.
AS feeler for the year the physical
director has called an early session
for Monday night next, which will
be in the way of an open house in the
gymnasium. All members are invited
to come to the association on that
evening and exercises in any manner
whatever. Indoor baseball, basket

and exercises will comprise an infor-
NAL program OF the evening.

until the second week In October and
the schedule has not yet been an
nounced. Physical Director linn ex-
poets soon 20 be able to form his
leader corps and he has outlined a
strenuous season for that organfza-
tion, which always is one that affords
keen enjoyment for those who enjoy
athletic work.

association rooms regarding indoor

Prevents Riot at Tonopah

1t was the night of the afternoon of.
the Joe Gans-Herman battle in Tono-
pah, and the main saloon of the town
was packed with an excited mob,many
of whom had witnessed the defeat of
the Chicagoan by the then all but in
yincible Cans. Richard and Ole Ell
lott, who had promoted the fight,
were entertaining party of friends in
the place, among the notables being
Nat Goodwin, Nat Lewis and others.
They were having many labor diff
ficulities in Nevada at the time, and
there was an ugly feeling rampant.
One big fellow. leader of the miners,
approached Richard, and in a loud
voice asked Tex what he thought Of
the idea of getting negroes to whip
white men.
And suppose you think Jack
Johnson can whip any of the white
men, he yelled in menacing tone,
gingering his remarks with some
names that caused Tex 10 turn pale
in an instant.
Cut out that talk and let's have
no trouble, Tex ordered in calm
tone. Instead of quieting down, the
labor man applied another bad name
to Richard and made a molten to
draw a weapon from his hip pocket.
Like fash Rickard made two
moves He dragged out his piece of
blue hardware and at the same time
ran his hand under tire others coat.
IN an instant he discovered thai the
man was u7armed and was making
one Of those foolish bluffs that SO
often result II serious trouble.

An Automobile Pace.

The track at the old fair grounds
is sufficiently large and in such good
shape that it will be possible to run
an automobile race. A number of
machine owners in the city have been
interested in the promise of some ex-
element with number of automo-
biles entered.
A small nominal fee will be charged
onlookers at the races week from
Saturday and there will no doubt be
a large crowd out to witness the
horse races, the game having recently
been revived in Keokuk by several
intuitive horsemen who have taken
hold of things.
