MIR. BROWN AND CHEEcHAcoS
 IN co-PARTNERSHl MixUP

Three men, Brown, Tibbetts and Lambert, the former two having money, and the latter being rich on ly in experience. formed a co-part- nership in Juneau for the purpose of invading Yukon and interior Alaska, where they hoped to carve their names high on the wall of financial fame. Brown, who had the major portion of the Ready John Davis" was made treasurer of the organiz ation and to him Tibbetts turned ov CT all his money, says the White horse Star.
 The trip from Juneau to Skagway was made by steamer, and from there they "mushed" to this place, the ir- tention being to secure small boat here and float down the placid bosom of old Yukon to Circle City and go afoot across country from that point to Fairbanks. On reaching this place Treasurer Brown contracted severe case of cold feet and at a. m. Sun day he quietly crawled from his bunk in a room where all three of the partners were wooipg Natures sweet restorer, and hiked toward Skagway, having failed to leave Tibbetts' share of the treasury behind. On awaken ing, their vision of wealth fading from view, Tibbetts and Lambert report ed their condition to the police and a wire was sent to Carcross for MT. Browns arrest. He had walked as far as Robinson, where he boarded the train for Skagway Monday. but the wire having reached Skagway in advance of &the train. he was taken off by Constable Perry, Royal N. w. M. F., and returned to this place. Monday evening. Tuesday morning the matter was threshed out before Police Magistrate Taylor when, al though Brown was convicted of hav- ing obtained money under false pre- lenses, he was allowed to go on sus- pended sentence after returning to Tibbetts the latter's share of the common fund. And thus did visions of easily acquired wealth fade away like morning dew from huckleberry bush.

twenty round bout in the Teatro Reforma

went down in n bunch and the gong

''nine." Bibb vainly attempted to rise,
and was still down when the gong rang
out for the tenth round. Shelton was de-
clared the winner.
The Bibb- Shelton mill, which introduced
prize fighting a. a sport In Matamoros,
was 4 fast and hard one from the moment
Of the start. Both boys were in fit shape
after two weeks 81 careful training, and
both with~tood severe punishment
throughout the nine rounds.
Until he scored his knockout the fight
was clearly against shelton. Bibb having
taken the offensive nj all times forcing
Shelton 10 his side Of the squared circle.
-Four out Of eight rounds clearly belonged

rounds neither apparently held the ad-
vantage.
Each man scored a knock down in the
fifth round, up 10 which time the punch

Senator Declares Governor |:
Mentally Capable and Might
Broaden in Washington.

Senator Benjamin r. Tillman, Of
South Carolina, who is taking a two
weeks rest in Atlanta at the Robert
SON Blackman Sanitarium, consented
to an interview on his arrival here,
in which he showed that he still knew
how to WELD his mighty "pitchfork, .
although he would anoint all wounds
inflicted wit ah cheerful philosophy.
Coming to Atlanta from Columbia,
where he testified before a committee
of the South Carolina Legislature in
vestigating charges against officials
of the State Asylum for the Insane,
his mind was filled with thoughts of
Governor Cole Blease. some of them
bitter but relieved by the Senator
sense of humor.
That investigation" he said, was
instigated by underlings and satellites
Of Governor Blease who want to Dust
the woman physician in charge of the
white women to make a place for the
wife of the newly appointed State
Pathologist, Dr. Blackman.
Expects BIease To Be Senator.
They fired a good pathologist and
replaced him with one who does not
know any more about pathology than
do
You know Governor Blease stands
by his friends and Furnishes his enc
mics. His enemies include everyone
who did not vote for him"
Senator Tillman said he feared Gov
ernor Blease would be elected to the
United States Senate. He was asked
what he thought Blease would do in
the Senate.
Il would say he would be a small
potato" he said. Il have been struck,
though, with the similarity of reasons
given for sending him to the Senate
that were used about me when first
ran in 1894.
AS they said about me, they say
they want to get Blease out of the
State, because they can't do anything
with him in the State.
Has Chance to Develop.
IF Blease gets in the Senate, he
may fool them.
"As / told friend OF mine in g
letter during the last gubernatorial
election, Blease is eminently qualified
mentally, but he seems to be lacking
in moral fiber
"In the Senate he might develop
into a bigger, broader man"
Senator Tillman said the real rea-
son for his coming to Atlanta was to
give Mrs. Tillman a rest. He has
been i'll in Washington and he said
he wanted to get his wife away to a
