Clabby Wins on Coast.

Hammond fight fans were the recip-
tents of some joyful news today when
a telegram was received from Jimmy
Clabby at Sacramento, Cal, where yes
terday he won from Sai,o- rande over
the twenty round route. The battle
was staged in an open arena at the
Sacramento baseball park and was
witnessed by an enormous Labor Da y
throng.
This is considered a great victory for
the Hammond champion as Sailor
Grande is held to be one of the best
riddle weights on the wester ncoast.
According to the telegram Jimmy won
al the way, and gave Grande such a
lacing that there was little dispute as
to the decision. 1t is Clabby's inten-
ton to make an invosson of the west
and will not return for some time.
Nick Connolly, ardent admirer of
CIabby returned from an extended trip
through the wes- yesterday and gave
cut the first decisive information Of
the Claby Hicks fight at Butte. Mont,
bout a month ago. after which the
Chicago papers accused Clabby of
sfalling. 1T is true that Ciabby had an
injured shoulder" said Connolly, land
it gave him SO mucn pain that he was
compelled to use only his left arm
through the fight, his right being USE

FOR LIGHT PLANT.
New Dynamo Has Been Shipped
Take Out Wall to Install 1t.

The new dynamo for the city cleo
trio light plant will be shipped from
Pittsburg, Pa, next Wednesday, and
will be set up as soon as possible after
it's arrival here. A whole side of the
light building, almost, will have to be
taken out in order to install the new
machine, however, it being much too
large to go in through any door in the
building.
The new pump recently purchased
for the city also may be shipped next
week, and ought to be here by the
first of July or perhaps earlier. 1t
will require five cars to bring it here,
and will mean a lot of work in set
ting it up.
1t will almost double the present
capacity of the pumping station, and
is expected to provide against any and
all accidents and emergencies that
may arise. The pump has nearly the
capacity of both the pumps now be-
ing operated, and as soon as it has
been tested out thoroughly will be CIV
en- the entire load to carry for the
present. Then first one and then the
other of the old pumps will be taken
down and thoroughly overhauled and
rebuilt
After the work is finished the city
will have three pumps, and the work
now being done by two will be divided
among the three, to a great saving
of the machinery, Commissioner New
land thinks, inasmuch as machinery
needs rest every once in a while.

E1khart, Kan, June 5.-Preachers and
bootleggers are early contending for
supremacy in this city, now but a few
weeks old. The town had hardly been
laid out when ministers from various
denominations were sent here to encour-
age church organization. They would
in turn gather the citizens together in
the Star lumber office and urge plans
for assuring moral stability in the new
community. After meetings the citi-
Gems would be met on the streets by
sly bootleggers and gamblers, who
would urge life of hilarity. AS a re-
suit the Morton county attorney and
two deputy sheriffs arrived a few days
ago from Richfield and began an in
QUESTION. Many gamblers and boot
leggers were placed in Jail and the re-
mainder fled across the friendly state
line, nearby.

City Officers Order Use of Wa

Larned, Kan, June 5.-The finding OF
numerous dead owls and rabbits in the
well of the city waterworks system
here caused the temporary derange-
ment of water service here few days
ago. 1t seems that officials of the
former city administration were care
less in not keeping the roof of the we'll
intact. Woodpeckers persistently bored
holes in the roof and owls and rabbits
made the we'll their hiding place. 1T is
stated that several inches of putrid
matter had collected in the well. The
best accounts available state that
similar condition existed in the stand
pipe. When the unsanitary condition
was discovered the city authorities at
once ordered the use of water stopped
and had the waterworks system clean
