BOXING NOTES
(BYT. s. AndrevEs.l-

Milwaukee has turned out some high class fighters in the pa5ts but during the last two seasons thefboNerg of class have not been very much in evidence. Jimmy CIabby, who was practically a Milwaukee product, has reached about the top of the middle weight ladder and Bob Moha. who. promised to make thinks hum for a time, eased off a, bit and missed a chance, but now comes Rftchie Mitch ell, al young featherweight who looks as though he will shine as brightly s1 any of them. Mitchell fs only a youngster and a newcomer to che game, having had about twelve cDn- tests, but he has learned a. lot in GHaE time and looks very sweet to hir friends.
 He had a real tryout the other uight when he stacked up agadnst the veter- an, Patsy Brannigan of PfttsburEl. For ten rounds Patsy tried every trick of the trade to get the youngBters blt when the final bell rang there wag only one decision=1IftcheH had beat er the experdeneed BEannigan- srse youngster was fast on his feet ana used good judgment in shifting his head out of reach of Swinss, besideg using both .hands to perfection fH countering Patsys attacks The boy surely looks like a conner
 Tn last weeks chat it was mention ed that Jimmy Coffrothr Of sFricco must have Something up his sleeve in matching a practically unknown lad named Billy Murray against the. llla4r1r Leo Houck, rnidd1eWefsi1t who hs-s met the best and defeated uoat ol them. It was correct-Jimmy old have something up hts sleeve-fo1 Murray proved a tartar for douclr- I4e fought cIever1y and had, a punch and at the end of the fourteenth round tns referee stopped the contest when Leo was helpless against the rope and gave the newcomer the bensd1 Of Knockout. Tom Jones, who is hand ling Ad Wolgast, says that he had Murray out West for some time and had him fight Kid George and other at Reno; that he is a good middle weight and ready for the best in enc business.
 Sammy Harris and his proteges Eld williams, have left Los Angelea iu disgust and will stop over in Ch3ca8o a few. days to see if there is a. chance to get Johnny Coulon into e. match with the Baltimore boy. Harrig ciair1e that Tom AcCarey offered to Euarau- from Harris the moment he stepped into the ring, with a DrfViieges 11E that Johnny has passed the buck Harris would, like to get a match vlf1 Coulon above all others, as he rzulA to annex the bantam title and tneu go after the worlds clhampious,1lps hut the chances seem slim at preeall for a. match, although Johnny has as- e11red me that he will take on Wil~ dams as soon as he has had a couple of good try-outs.

 At last the sphinxlike silence is broken. and we know anyway that Jolly Jake BouItes is still on the up- per crust of the earth. Although the Bridgeport baseball club has been un- able to get any answer to frantic queries, Bou1tes has written to a friend in this city, Fred Gilman, the is Jake, has received a few lines from Bolultes.
 The third baSeman says he is con- dlcting a pool and billiard parlor in St. Louis and making a little easy money. He speaks of receiving an of fer from the Bridgeport owner to manage the local club but says he has not made any decision. Boultes writes that he has a chance to buy the pool room and may stick in St. Louis all summer. In that case he will be lost to the local club. They all talk about retiring in the winter.
 The Bridgeport baseball club sdn- tends to secure a good second basenaan from one of the big league clubs. Now that Buster Bowman has been sold to Troy the middle station is left vacant and as only two youngsters from the Providence city league will try out for the place, the management realized that som ething must be done. An ef- fort was made to get g. man who play ed in the Canadian league last season but nothing was heard from him in the past two weeks and the local man. agennent can't wait until he finally takes his pen in hand.

As TOABUsE
AND SLANDRR

The Democrat thinks to cover
up its viru,ent personal attacks
on Die editor of the Herald and to
throw dust in the eyes OF the
public by q counter charge OF
abuse and slander Of the editor
Of the Democrat.
That is slander that would
hlacken character without a sim
gle foundation of fact.
The attacks of the Democrat on
the character of the edi-
tor of the Herald was slander
|. pure aud simple; and, as
stated before, were emanations
from the depths of depravity and
filtrations through the film of a
diseased moral nature and dis
tempered moral vision.

the fact that prohibition has been
shown not to prohibit in other states
and yet to keep tourists away, it Is moi,
matter OF wonder that people In ali

prohibition in Colorado. especially as
the adoption Of prohibition would kill

figured out that it was to
his interest to keep Judge
Allen off the ticket, and
consequently went out of
his way to serve personal
notice on Inman to hurry
in to file his acceptance
when he said that to serve
such notice was none Of
the county clerks busi-
ness.
In like manner he figured that
McAdam oughtn't to be ON the
ticket, and that it was none of
his business to notify him, or ev-
Ell to speak to his friends here
in Springfield about the matter.
Now. we want every man and
women to vote for the county
clerk
If they think he has done
right in all these things;
And
If they believe he has q better
right, in connection with. his
$500 job, to the profits in the
newspaper business in the coun-
ty than the editor of the Herald
has.
At the time the county clerks
interest in the Democrat was sur
missed, the editor of the Herald
wrote him a very long letter, re-
counting SOME past history; and
we shall conclude this by quot
ing the last paragraph in that
letter, us follows:
81 am not expecting any
change in your conduct towards
me while we live; but have this
one last request for a favor: when
S. M. Konkel appears at the
Pearly Gates, and that outfit
wants you to plot with them to
keep him out, because he didn't
own the paper, or because repub-
Iicans had a mortgage on il, or
because they were too friend.
ly TO him, or because be
never was democrat, or be-
cause of threats to stick q knife
into you, or for any other reason
in the earth or under the heavens,
then it is that want you to take
your stand with your brother.
S. NJ, Konkel, and help him to
get through the gates inspite Of
the outfit, or what they may
want to the contrary-as . mat
ter of $$ then won't figure one
way or another in the case"
And we thus leave the matter
, with the voters of Baca county.

THE STATUS
Of THE COUNTY CLERK,

nose Who Know All the Facts,
And Think He Has done Right
in the Matter Are Asked
to Vote for Him.
One fact is that the county
clerk went into the combine on a
cold calculation that
Dead Men Tell No Tales.
1t was believed by him and
the combine that the Herald and
its editor could be killed inside
Of sixty days, and that thus all
would be fair sailing,
It was for this purpose they
moved their platoons on the
five men and women for a com
mittee Endorsement of the Demo
crat; and after this evidence OF
party approval it was a great
surprise to them that congress
didn't immediatly order the ma
Ditia down to Lamar to enforce
their demands for spoils.
Another fact-there wouldn' t
have been any Tammany COM
bine if the county clerk had
said:
Gentlemen, take my place
With Judge Allen-I was
rought up with my brother, and
| will go down with my brother. !"
Instead of this manly stand,
party purifiers, as shown by
ae Knight aft Cavit, had their
st in the county clerks Office,
d it was there that the COM
; me was Matched.
Another fact is that to connect
! nself with the clerks office,
h was back of the villifying and
lnderous letter of Elmo Jack

ID not denied; and that, to add
e profits in the newspaper

yner of the Democrat is re-
oonsible for, the slanderous at
acks of that sheeton the editor

Thinking people of every relig-
