49, 49, -@NN ~ = SAN4f 4NAeA a
Two stories are circulating re-
garding the Jack Johnson Jim
Flynn fight, July 4.
One is that Johnson has agreed
to take the punch" and let slip
his title, and. the other that he
can and will win in any round he
sees fit.
Absence of betting and the
long odds stories that Johnson
isn't doing much real training,
give rise to the first story. The
latter is the opinion of men who
believe the fight is honest and
who always bet on form.
In support of the "fake" story
it is said that men close to John
son and Flynn, will gather up all
the long shot bets lying around
and reap fortune when Flynn is
permitted to put over the knock
out.
Flynn can't hit Johnson in a
2o-foot ring with handful of
nickles, unless. Jack lets him, ." is
the terse. way one fight follower
expresses the difference between
the men.
It is true there is always talk of
dishonesty before big battles. At
Reno, two days before the deluge,
George Little, ex-manager of
Johnson, appeared with "the
papers" and said Johnson had
agreed to lay down in the twelfth
round for money already paid,
and that he had bet his end of the
moving pictures upon Jeffries.
Little believed this to the extent
of betting IS 600 on Teffries.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-07-01

I WILL BE THERE ANYWAY
charging it to the life he has led
since defeating Jefries.
Against this, men who know
the champion say he is too proud
to throw away the title, which
means much to him, and that he is
obsessed with the idea of retir-
ing as an undefeated champion,
instead of as a man who went
down before white boxer.
Little betting has been done,
although one hears of large sums
offered. It is probable no import
ant bets will be made until a day
or so before the match. Johnson
should be a prohibitive favorite.
This has been a bad year for
champions. Johnson may find
his stamina gone, and maybe
there is something inathe stories.
But it would not surprise form
players if Jack won along about
the tenth or twelfth round, after
the moving picture machines
have been given a chance to get
warmed up.

REAL STRENUoSITY.

Smashing plate glass windows
has gone out of style among En-
glish sufragettes. The latest
thing is to attend the prime min
ister's reception, pull off his
epaulets and slap his face. Then
the prime minister's wife boxes
your ears.
Say, that row between Taft and
Teddy was merely a social tea
party. We don't know the mean
ing of strenuosity over here.

JESSE MUM.

The remains of the late Jesse Mum,
who was killed near Laramie, Wye
last week, arrived in this city on last
nights eastern and the body was met
at the train by a large number of
his former friends and friends of the
family. Many of the Masonic fra
ternity were in the crowd that march
ed behind the hearse from the depot
to the Hood & Ames undertaking par
lors at which place the funeral will
be held tomorrow.
Jesse was stepson of Samuel H
Thompson Of the Animas valley and
was practically raised here in this
community. As boy and a young
man he was well liked and his many
friends believe that in his trouble
which indirectly brought about his
death, he was more sinned agains,
than shining. There is no more high.
ly respected family in all the state
than that which is mourning his loss
and it is easily seen that the family
have the heartfelt sympathy of all
in their time of affliction.

COURT NOTES.

Garcia, the Ignacio Mexican who
attempted to shoot up the Martinez
pool room, was held to court to an
swer the charges filed against him
and his bond fixed at the sum of
81 900.
Fast, also from Ignacio, who got
too much like his name and tried to
do up couple of Ute Indian police
man, was bound over and his bond
fixed at $4,000.
The time and attention Of the dis
trict court is today being taken up
with the Archuleta case, civil case
in which about $4,000 is involved.
The jury was obtained yesterday but,
owing to the fact that the obsequies
OF the late Judge Hechtman took
place yesterday afternoon, the trial of
the case was postponed until this
morning.

grabbed the weapon.
The Indian jumped to his feet and
demanded the gun. Fast started to
run with the Indian in close pursuit.
Then turning suddenly Fast fired at
his pursuer, the bullet missing the
Indians leg by hairs breadth. The
latter did not hesitate for moment,
but still pressed forward, as Fast
pulled the trigger for the second time,
pointing the weapon directly at the
policeman's breast. Fortunately there
were no more shells in the gun or the
result would probably have been ia
tai.
The Indian then with the assist
ance of another policeman, who rush.
ed to aid him, succeeded in over
powering Fast, and he was ther
lodged in the agency Jail for safe
keeping, and was brought to town
yesterday. AS announced in another
place the preliminary hearing took
place today, Fast being bound over ir
the sum of $4,000.

MRS. WARREN SCHILLER DEAD

Yesterday morning Mrs. Warren
Schiller, a much respected and well
known citizen of Bayfield,, died at her
home on Pine river, after a brief ILL
ness. A few days ago Mrs. Schiller
took severe cold, which developed
into pneumonia, resulting in her death
yesterday.
The case seems to be an especially
sad one, since Mrs. Schiller was a
devoted mother to seven children, the
youngest o. whom is baby but three
months old. Those who were orphan
ed in their childhood can perhaps best
appreciate the extent Of the children's
loss, SO suddenly bereft of mothers
love and tender care. Other mothers
and fathers, happy in unbroken family
ties, will pity the children and SYM
pathize with the husband left to be
both father and mother to his mother
less children.
Mrs. Schiller was AZ years of age
and is sister Of Mrs. Nicholas Goeg-
lein of this city. The latter left for
Bayfield, this morning to attend the
funeral, which takes place this after
noon. 1t was great shock to Mrs.
Goeglein, who had not even heard of
her sisters illness, until she was noti-
fed of the latter's death. The family
did not realize Mrs. Schiller's condi-
tion was serious until short time be-
fore the end.

A Tribute to the Memory Of an Old
Friend.

A Tribute to the Memory Of an Old
Friend.
In the death of our lamented friend,
Mr.. John P. Weddle, the community
loses one of its best and most respected
citizens.
He exemplified in his life and character
those traits which made the founders of
this country able to accomplish what they
did in the building of individual and ma
tional life. Sturdy, upright, honest and
single minded his aim in life seemed to
be the performance of duty as he saw it.,
and to follow the Golden Rule as nearly
as it is possible for frail human nature
to do. His circle of influence was not as
wide as many others, but in his sphere,
his contact with his fellowmen made an
impression for good, which is not bound
ed by the narrow limits of time and
locality.
In his home and in the community he
will be greatly missed, but his family
and friends must take comfort from the
thought that he has rounded out long
life of good deeds and gone to his we'll
earned rest and reward.

Ladies' Club Entertained.

Among the many pleasant affairs that
enlivened the holidays, the most pleasant
was the card party given the Ladies'
Club by Mr.. Lloyd at Grows Nest.
The spacious living room was transform
ed into fairy land. or rather the abode of
the Christmas spirit, for the green of
the pine which adorned the ceiling and
the rosy glow of the open wood fire fifty
typiied the seasons message of good
will to men.
The weather sprites were also propi-
tious and gave clear sky and bright
moonlight to the occasion. Bridge and
500 were played until eleven o'clock when
dainty refreshments were served in most
unique and charming fashion. The table
for the nonce, being Christmas tree,
bearing Lapkins and spoons which each
one picked for themselves.
AS the witching hour of midnight ap-
preached some quaint games were play
ed symbolic of the season. Apager bag,
called the marriage bag, was broken by
one of the girls, blindfolded, sure sign
that she would renounce single blessed
ness during the year. Then the lights
were all extinguished, the fire flames
leaping up the chimney, alone illumining
the scene and "Old Black Joe" after
much persuasion, entered with basket
of pine cones which he threw on the
blazing logs. Each thought of the sweet
heart who loved her the best. and the
hosts assurance that this mystic cere-
mony would insure matrimony was en-
couraging.
Mr.. Winchester and Mr.. Lloyd spared
no effort to add to the pleasure of the
evening, but the parting hour came all
too soon and the club Jared on its home
ward way with many pleasant recollec-
tions to brighten the New Year.
