Brakeman Killed at Graham Tuesday

~ +. Sedberry, a brakeman on a
coal train, died at Graham at i; 10
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, just ?
hours after he was injured there
while "poling" a car ahead of an
engine. In the operation he was
using a railroad crossue that had
been taken from the track, and The
pressure was so great that the tie
collapsed, one of the ends catching
Sedberry in the breast and crushing
him seriously. The railroad surgeon
DR.. J. G.. Bohannon, of this city,
attended the brakeman, who remain
ed conscious right up to the mo-
mcnt of death. The body was pre-
pared for shipment and yesterday
morning was carried to kuttawa,
his home. Sedbcrry was unmarried,
and is survived by his father and
mother.

City Buys Extra Fire NGzzleS.

The city council has provided
four extra fire nozzles, and this is
one of the best moves that could
have been made. We have availa-
bic ] zoo feet of fire hose, and have
had only two nozzles, which was
entirely inadequate for the amount
of hose, as it has been possible to
put only two streams on a fire In
the business district it is always
possible to have as many as four
streams playing on blaze, and the
extra nozzles may be the means OF
saving much property. Fire chief

 SIGN ARTICLES
Another Lightweight Championship to
 Be Pulled Off At Los Angeles.

Los Angles, Cal, July 1.-The bat tie for the lightweight championship of the world between Ad Wolgast and Freddie Welsh, the English chal- lenger, will be staged at the Vernon Arena of the Pacific Athletic Club on Thanksgiving Day, November 30. The boys will travel over the 20 round route and each has agreed to post $2,500 with Tom McCarey, manager of the Club, 30 days before the fight that they will make 133 pounds ring side. Final arrangements of the match were made late this afternoon after a long and hot wrangle be- tween the fighters and their manag CTS. The matter of $10,000 side bet was the bone of contention, but Me Carey finally settled the question for good and all by positively stating that as the last state legislature pass ed law forbidding betting of any kind on a boxing exhibition, a side bet would not be permitted.
 When all parties finally got down to business McCarey offered Wolgast a guarantee of $13,500 or 47 1-2 per cent. of the gross receipts along with 51 per cent. in the moving pictures. Welshs share was to be $2,500 and 49 per cent of the moving pictures. Baron Long, Welsh's manager, at once objected to the terms offered Welsh. He claimed they could get twice as much by fighting in San Francisco during the September hol- idays.
 McCarey then told Long he could make a better offer if the fight were to be pulled off on holiday and naming Thanksgiving Day, increasing his offer to Welsh of $5,000 and 49 per cent of the pictures. This was satisfactory.
