DICK YATES MAY BE
LORIMER CANDIDATE
Former Governor Said to Be Anxious
to Be Pitted Against Deneen
in Coming Campaign.
Especial TO The Argus

Springfield, Ill, Aug. 21.-That for
mer Governor Richard Yates of this
city may be selected by the Lorimer
people as their candidate for governor
of Illinois is considered very probable
by we'll informed politicians in this
city. 1t is understood that the former
governor is willing to try conclusions
again with Governor Deneen, toward
whom he still has bitter feeling and
who seems now the probable candidate
of the republican organization. 1t is
understood the situation has been dis
cussed with him by the Lorimer lead
ers and that he will enter the race
provided sufficient funds can be put
up for campaign expenses. OF this
there seems to be little doubt.

DISOBEYED
Weekly Prize Fight Pulled Off
in Iowa Waters While the
Sheriff Is Fishing.
JUST BELOW DAVENPORT
Sports Go Down on Barge Columbia
lowed by Steamer Acorn-Bru-
ner Was on Watch.

In defiance of edicts from the sher-
ifs of Rock Island, Scott, Clinton
and Muscatine counties, one of the
regular Sunday afternoon prize
fights was pulled off on the river
yesterday afternoon. The steamer
Acorn towed the barge CoIum bia
down the river and when out Of sight
of the cities IL was anchored not far
from the Iowa shore and the doings
started. A preliminary bout of six
rounds between local youngsters was
staged and then the main go was
announced. 1t was between Ernie
flanders and Harry TrendalI. The
former was awarded the decision by
the spectators after a hot go but
Referee Santry gave no verdict.
SHERIFF WAS FISHING.
There was no doubt this time as
to who had Jurisdiction over the part
Of the river where the fight took
place. The boat was anchored in
Scott county waters. Sheriff Eek
hardt of Scott county was very much
mortified this morning when he
learned that his edict had been tram
pied upon. Confident that the fight
would not take place, he had gone
fishing Saturday night and was out
OF the city until this morning
The sheriff on this side Of the riv-
er. o. L. Bruner, stated this morn
ing that he had made II his business
to see that the fight did not take
place within his Jurisdiction He
postponed the fishing trip which kind
friends had arranged for him.

GIRL IS COLORED
IS COURT RULING
Testimony of Full-Blooded
Negress Decides the
Case.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 3.-Testimony
given by Stella IIeftridge, full biooded
negress. resulted in the return of Luella
Leftridge. eleven years old, to st. Eliza
beth's Hospital Home today.
Until the negress took the stand, it
seemed certain the girl would be re-
leased from the colored institution on
the ground that she was white. Consid-
cradle testimony was given TO show that
the girl had no negro blood in her veins,
but the negress said her brother, light
mulatto. had married a light haired
German woman and the eleven-year-old
girl was the child of the pair.
Upon order of the court, several medi-
cal authorities made studies of the case
OF the I.eftridge girl, and by scientific
investigation endeavored to learn wheth-
er there really is negro blood in her
veins. Several of these distinguished
specialists told on the witness stand
that they had failed to find any indica-
tion that the girl was Of colored par
entage.
