HAS PLENTY OF MONEY. BUT
Is Shy the Twenty to Pay Fine, and
Is Now in Jail.

Parsons. Kan, March 6.-Ah there,
Mr.. Willis, from Indiana. "It will cost
you $40, and we will add 80 days."
These were the tender words spoken
to Mr.. J. H. Willis from Indiana, by
Police Judge Bonebrake after hearing
some evidence concerning the Indiana
man and some of his pranks in the
city. Mr.. Willis says he has money,
and says he sold an Indiana 100 acres
for $73 per acre a few days ago. This
would make q neat little sum of SILL
$50, but Mr.. Willis is shy the $40 that
he needs to pay his fine. His trunk
has also been delayed, which he as
serts has $500 of this money tucked
away neatly in one of the remote cor
ners. 1t is a sad case of where 1t is
useless to be rich.

THAT POOR OLD ARM AGAIN.
WoIgast's Injured Member Is to Blame
for Poor Showing.

WoIgast's Injured Member Is to Blame
for Poor Showing.
New York, March ct has become
known that Ad Wolgast, the light
weiht champion, suffered a severe in
jury in his arm in one of the early
rounds of his fight here with knock
OUT Brown. The arm was broken sew
eral months ago and although it knit
rapidly, it was weak for a long time
and bothered the champion consider
ably. WOlgast's doctors have not de-
termined just how serious the injury
of last night will prove. Tthey probably
will insist on his resting the wounded
member for a few days. BY that time
they hope that it will be as good as
new again.
Boxing fans are already specializing
upon the likelihood of another meeting
between the two men. Hopes are ex-
pressed that it will be found possible to
stage them somewhere in a finish
fight. In many ways their battle was
inconclusive. While Brown received
the popular decision because he forced
the fighting and landed the greater
number of clean blows, Wolgast show
ed excellent spirit in the latter rounds
and gave evidence that in a longer
fight ne might have had a decided adj
vantage.
Neither of the contestants was IN
condition to show real championship
form. Wolgast's arm was a serious
handicap, while Browns recent attack
of grip still showed. He had hard
work breathingi his throat bothered
him much of the time and he weaken
ed perceptibly after the fifth round.
There was little of scientific boxing
in ten round bout. Both men failed in
ring science and old fans declared them
sluggers, trusting to luck rather than
careful strategy.

Old Jockey Now a Student of LIE
Gagnaux at Nice.

New York, March 6.-Racing men
here have received letters from Paris
informing them that the latest enter
prise of Tod Sloan, the jockey, is avia-

plane pupil of LIE Gagnaux. During

Sloan mounted biplane and followed
the parade, circling over it and
throwing flowers on the crowd. In an
other flight Sloan flew to Cannes and
circled the city and harbor, passing SO
close to the yachts at anchor there
that the people on board could talk to
him.
Sloan had a very successful season
last summer at Brussels and has got
ten together a very good stable Of
horses but his friends say that indica-
tons now are that he will become so
infatuated with the aviation game as
to lose his interest in horses.

Regarding the Westergaard victory
over George Turner in Lincoln Friday
night, the Lincoln News says:
'Jess Westergaard, the Des Moines
grappler, put it over the veteran, Geo.

match, as Turner has never recovered
from his peevey of three years ago,
when he was defeated by Westergaard
for the championship of Iowa. Since
then the Des Moines Swede has made
rapid strides and is now rated as one
of the best of the heavies in the do

No case of Rheumatism was ever

the circulation, and sometimes NAV
be temporarily relieved by the appli-
cation of plasters, 1iniments, hot
