Geo. EarIS Dead.

Geo. Earls, brother of William
Earls, of this city, was found
dead beside the Frisco track near
Quapaw on Wednesday evening
of last week. The cause of his
death is a mystery.
1t is supposed Earls had been
in Joplin since last Saturday, as
he left his home on that day
after making known his inteu-
tions of going there. When or
how he met his death cannot be
explained. It cannot be ascer.
tanned that he ever reached Jop-
lin, but the most plausible theory
thus far advanced by the author
tiles is that he spent several
days in that city and returned to
Quapaw on a Monday passenger
train. He either fell off the
train while it was in motion or
else he had unintentionally got
off at the wrong station and at.
tempted to walk to Quapaw, be-
ing caughtin the raging storm
which overwhelmed him.
Earls body bore many bruises
and decorations, which gives
strength to thei theory that he
was hurled from q fast moving
train. In this event he was rem
dered unconscious and possibly
froze to death before regaining
his senses. Whatever his fate
might have been, it came before
the snowstorm had subsidized, be-
cause his body was completely
covered with snow, and was dis
covered by a trackman who was
inspecting the roadbad when he
CHANGED to see a human hand
protrudiug out of the side of a
drift not two feet from the track.
He at once notified the officials
and the county coroner moved
the body to Quapaw late We'd
uesday evening.
Earls was a single man and
was IS years old. He had been
engaged in agricultural pursuits
for several years and had 4 wide
acquaintance.
Later-A COrrOner's iusy de-
cided that Earls came to his
death by being hit BY a trim.
Funeral services were held last
Friday at Quapaw after which
interment was made in the Bax-
ter cemetery.

zinc ore down to a $4S.00 base,
and some sales were reported as
low as $45.0O, although condi-
tions were favorable for very
much better prices.
Calamine ore production was
very light, owing to adverse con-
ditions of the weather, while the
market was good at $40 to $29
with only a small turnin from
the CRANKY camp.
Lead ores were slightly strong
er the past week, with the high
base reported at $54.00, although
production was light and sales
we're few, with a base range of
$50 to $54. Pig lead was UNI
changed and steady at $500.
Owing to unusually bad wealth
er conditions the past week, the
production was much below nor
NAL and turnins were very light,
although the buyers were active
in trying to secure their usual
tonnage despite the fact that
very few cars are available and
shipping facilities very poor.
The lead market seems to have
reached bottom and decided to
stay there for some time, al
though the price was boosted
slightly last week, due to the
fact that the producers have re-
fused to sell at such low figures.

WRESTLERS TUSSLE
AT PARK TONIGHT
Soldier Andersen Has Been
Working Hard to Meet
Local Mat Man.

The wrestling match to be pulled off
at the Park theater between Carl An

known in this town, points to this az
being one or the best matches which
has been held in the state of Texas for
a long time Any one who has known
corporal Andersen and who can see
him now states that he is in the best
shape that he ever was in and that he
is fit to DuI up the best match OF his
career. Ever since the match was first
arranged he has paid the most pdrticu-
lar attention 10 putting himself IN the

match, and he has not found the men

that he has been very much surprised
at the talent that has been displayed
by the local men and believes that
with a little more experience that they
could make themselves felt in the
wrestling circles of this and adjoining
states. Corporal Andersen concludes
his training at the Y. NJ. c. A. gym

no foul tactics used or permitted TO

walls early in the day.
For the fifth successive year, Har-
ward demonstrated her rowing SUI
premacy over Yale by winning not
only the varsity race with six lengths
to spare, but capturing the freshmen
event by. a length, and the four cared
contest by 10 lengths. A Yale victory
in the freshmen substitute four cared
race Thursday afternoon prevented a
complete Crimson sweep of the river
for 1912.
There was never a doubt of the vars
ity race and there was 20 IL seconds in
time between the boats at the finish.
The official time of the three races
was:
University race. four miles-Harvard,
21:43 ID: Yale. 22:04

Harvard's victories brought the long
series of aquatic contests with Yale to
a tie for the first time since 1902, as
both universities have now won %
contests.

East Las Vegas, y. N, June a. AZ
ter consultation with prominent citi-
zens here last night. governor W. e.
Mcdonald said that he Will issue pub
lie statement regarding the Johnson

6 p. m Monday. To direct queries the
governor would not say that he would

he finds that there are no gambling

It was said at Jack JohnsOn's camp
today that he undoubtedly would fur

appearance in Chicago to answer the
Indictment returned against him and
his wife, charging the smuggling of a
necklace into the United States.
Johnson himself departed early in
the day for Mora, 80 miles away, in his
automobile with friends. Tom Flani-
gan, Johnson's chief trainer. arrived
yesterday from Toronto. Canada. and
took charge of the negro's camp. Flani-
gan trained Johnson for his battle with

Las Vegas for several weeks. He says
among other things: There is no de-
nying the fact that Johnson is carry
ing too much weight around the mid
section. Flynn will enter the ring
around 1S5 pounds; Johnson will carry
considerable fat with him the day OF
the fight At first the champion ap-
peared to take the whole thing as a
Joke, but of late has been devoting
more time to training, as If he is just
beginning to realize that the job ahead
calls for better condition. While, as
you said in a recent article, the records
of the men give Flynn little chance,
there are many here on the ground, in
GLIDING Myself. who intend taking a
flyer on the Pueblo man on the long
chance that condition and good hand
ling will pull down the prize on Inde-
pendence day"
And, readers, as my friend suggests,
il is all a question Of how good the
champion is physically. AS everybody
knows Flynn at his best does not class
with Johnson at his best, and what
ever hope there is of Jims being re-
turned victor must be builded upon the
belief that the present title holder
will be unable to toe the mark any
where near his best shape.
Old Saw Don't Go.
The old saw about youth being
served can hardly apply here, as there
is scarcely more than a years differ
ence in the ages of the two men. But
it is a well known fact that Flynn has
chung pretty closely to the straight and
narrow path while Johnson has been
cutting some awful didOes during his
reign as champion fighter of the uni
verse.
Johnson announces he will be pre-
pared to take on the rest of the white
hopes" one a week, after he is finished
give him little trouble and names Is
rounds as the extreme limit of his
liberation of James in the ring.
Jack says nothing of the ''cOlOred
for the future. Not a word about
brothers" in making public his plans
Langford, McVey or Jeanette Furth-
ermore he names September 1 as the
date Of his retirement from the ring
and stipulates that aspirants for the
title must meet him before that day
no intention of disputing the question
of superiority with any of the dark
skinned bruisers mentioned.
Joe Jeanette is very much worried
over Johnson's spiel about quitting
from the game after he cleans up the
white boys. Joe thinks some great big
hOOdOo is chasing him all the time.
Sam Langford has run out twice, the
way Joe tells it, and now that a Paris
promoter has come through with an
offer of $4,000 for Johnson TO battle
him (Jeannette) to a finish, Jack
calmly sets an early date for his Ade-
lima Patti stunt
BY the way, the Paris folk intend
TO land the battle if such thing is
possible and have arranged to deposit
the $4,000 in the hands of responsible
parties If Johnson Will agree TO the
match. OF course, this offer hangs on
the outcome of the Las Vegas quarrel.
Should Flynn be returned winner moth
ing doing for J. Arthur. Jeanette,
like Barkis. is always willing. He is
not particular as to color, or reputa-
ton either. The greater the rep" the
more coin for Joseph.

year, with a club that is in the dumps,

work every man for himself He was

Flynns chances may be compared
with those Of Tommy Burns when the
latter met Johnson. Bulk won then
as it should in this instance, the diff
ference being that Johnson at that
time had not gone the pace that hurts,
and which he has adhered to closely
since winning over Jeffries.
There are rumOrs, as is generally the
case in matches where championships
are involved, that the affair is a Frame
up, but there is no foundation for the
stories Any Encouragement would
call for Johnson to quit to his oppo-
nent, and the negrO's vanity would
never in my opinion permit of him
laying down" to a smaller man.
Flynn IS taking a long chance; he is
risking a beating without monetary re-
turn worth mentioning against the
chance of winning a title and there
after reaping a golden harvest in pic
ture receipts and theatrical engage
ments: he has absolutely nothing to
lose in the matter of reputation. Nine
