S swimming that had much to do with building him up into good middle weight, for he was merely a raw ban tam weight when he started out. Gus was always in the water at the Whit ta.ker swimming school up the r1Ver and three years ago was put to work as one of the experts. He has ad- yanced so far in the aquatic line that he was recently considered as one Of the best young men in the city to ap- point as life saver on the beach dur ing the summer season when there are hundreds of young people surfing on the lake front. Gus also had chance to go on the road with a tank act, doing the fancy diving act from a height of 60 feet into four feet of water, but his success at the boxing game caused him to call it off. He has spent considerable :. times too, teaching physical culture.
 Christie started out as an amateur at the Milwaukee Athletic club several years ago, weighing at that time only 1o5 pounds. He was clever, however. and met boys much heavier, losing but few amateur bouts. Gradually he gained in weight and entered the light weight class two years ago, then jumped into the we1ters and later the 15O-pound division. He met Mike Gib- bons twice, but the St. Paul phantom outpointed him on cleverness alone. Since then Gus has taken on more weight and is now real middle weight, having recently fought such men as Jack Dillon, Eddie McGoorty, Ernie Flanders, and others. He also gave Knockout Brown of Chicago a severe defeat two years agoN and at present he is busy trying to match up with Bob Noha for the champion ship of Milwaukee Gus is only near ing the 22-year mark and should be nearing his best form. s5

KINGsLAND HEIR SUES DOCTOR.


Mrs. Ada r. sutton seeks to Recover
$4,000 From Dr. 4. c. DuDoat.
Mrs. Ada Francis sutton. niece OF the
late Daniel c. Kingsland. who died In
1878. and heir to part OF his 81. 900. 900
estate. filed suit In the Supreme Court
yesterday against Dr. Alfred Camille
Dupont. formerly her family physician.
to recover $4,000 Interest In the
Kingsland estate which she assigned to
Dr. Dupont.
Mrs. Sutton alleges that DR.. Dupont
made loans to her In 1907 when she was
In urgent need OF funds because her son.
Charles X. Sutton I'd. who since has
died. was III. She says DR.. Dupont got
her to-.sign a paper which she understood
was mortgage on her share of the
estate as security. but she now hnds that
the paper was an absolute transfer OF her
interest.
The plaintiff further charges that while
her son was under the influence Of drugs
on July 20. 1907. he was induced to
sign a paper purpOrting to give the physi-
clan power to pay his attorney $500 sub
ject to the mortgage on the estate. Mrs.
Sutton says that the signature to this
paper was made under duress and as
additional compensation for loans.
1t Is alleged that DIR. Dupont has re.
ceived total OF 33.700 on one loan Of
$500. Mrs. Sutton not only asks that the
paper she signed be construed as a
mortgage on her share OF the estate and
not an assignment OF her interest but
that DIR. Dupont be compelled to account
to her for all he has received above the
legal amount OF the loans and interest
