George Cooper, proprietor Of the
Fitger block barber shop, leaves Mon
day for Hot Springs, Ark, where he
will spend several weeks taking the
baths in the hope of being relieved
of an attack of inflamatory rheuma-
tism which has incapacitated him for
the past two weeks.
Archie Kerr returned this week
from Chisholm, where he has been
closing out stock of clothing for a
we'll known clothing firm. Mr.. Kerr
has no plans for the immediate fu-
ture definitely decided, but expects
before long to have an announcement
to make that will be of interest to all
many Virginia friends.
J. Evan Carson, formerly connected
with the Duluth News Tribune as a
linotype operator has accepted posi-
ton with the Virginia Enterprise and
will have charge of the linotyping de-
partment Of the Enterprise. Mr.. Car
son is one of the best machinists in
the state and a capable operator,

especially fortunate in securing. His

in Superior next week, it is expected,
when he will complete arrangements
for the spring training trip. Mon
mouth, ILL.,, probably will be selected
for the camp.
Training dates are being arranged
by Eddie Wheeler of the Grand Forks
Dacotahs. He plans to stage three
weeks warm-up through Iowa, with
Ned Egan's Ottumwa club.
Wheeler has announced that he has
traded Pitcher Dick Wells to the
Davenport club, for Flaherty, outfield-
err. He also has signed Pitcher Billy
Sullivan of Kansas City.
Collins, Lefty Davis heady left
fielder, is reported to be the first of
the Winona holdouts to submit his
signed contract: Several of Davis
asst years pennant winners refused
to sign 1914 papers and demanded
more money. The fact that each one
Of the holdouts demanded the same
increase in salary led the manager
to believe that he was the victim of a
frame-up. Collins contract is thought
to have broken the ice, however, and
several other members eof the flag
grabbing aggregation are expected
to Immediately "kick" in with their
signatures.

Brown, but the proposition has moi
been accepted.
Tom Andrews, we'll known sport
writer, in an interview in Milwaukee
recently, said that a match betwer
Wolgast and Brown is the cry of the
boxing fraternity. Brown is picked
by Andrews to give Wolgast ter.
rife battle.
1t had been planned to stage an ex.
hibition between Wolgast and Brown
when the former was in Duluth re.
Gently. According to persons closely
associated with that entertainment
Brown offered to put on the gloves
with Wolgast, although the manage
ment had told him he could expect nc
money for the exhibition owing to the
small crowd. Wolgast's manager is
said to. have frowned on the plan as
soon as it was called to his attention
The general opinion among Browns
frieds is that the manager acted wise
ly.
Three good cards besides the main
event between Brown and Tillman
have been annouced by the Twin Port
Athletic club for Tuesdays show. Bob
Sanders and Young Nelson are booked
for eight rounds. Young Cushway Of
Superior and Abe O'Neill of Duluth
are scheduled for six-round contest.
Young O'Malley Of Superior, and Chas.
Jensen of Merrill, Wis also are adj
vertised for six rounds. . ....s.. .=

who turned in the copy, however,
and he was admired for his energy
and his ability to obtain the news
where men Of more experience could
not produce results. SIS.
Guy Finch never complained. If
he worked until 4 a. m. and was called
out on an assignment two hours later
it always was the same cheerful,
whistling "Sinbad" that's what the
boys called him-that turned in the
story. .=% .~
Mr.. Finch's ambition and his love
for the newspaper game undoubtedly
fastened his death. He seemed the
happiest when he was working the
hardest in a dingy, stuffy, editorial
room, with the city editors sarcastic
call for "copy," ringing in his ears
continually. The work began to tell
on his health long before Guy ever
thought of putting the "thirty" mark
at the bottom of his last story.
If reporter or a desk man wanted
a day off, il, was Guy Finch who usual
ly offered to relieve him. Every man
on the staff was his friend.
Mr.. Finch was born in Des Moines,
May %, 1887. March S, last year, he
was married to May Stanely, a
we'll known newspaper woman then
on the staff of the News Tribune.
Their married life was the culmina-
ton of newspaper romance. Sur
viving Mr.. Finch are his widow, and
his mother, a brother and sister, of
Butterfield, MINI.

The neighborhood was aroused
Monday morning by the eerie sound of
the freebooter. Some turned out to
see what was going on; the rest just
turned over, breathing a sigh Of
thankfulness (wretched Pharisees)
that their house was not as somebody
else's house seemed to be. The fire
was discovered in the basement Of the
Finn saloon in Costin. Owing to the
despatch of the volunteer fire brigade
the was fire was under control, and
little damage was done. It is thought
that the fire was started by the over
turning or exploding of a kerosene
stove which was kept in the cellar to
prevent the beer from freezing.
We regretfully record the removal
Of the Hurd family from the village
Of Costin. They left on Saturday for
st. Paul, where they intend to make

win a comparatively easy victory over
Johnnie Tillman of Minneapolis, in
their ten-round bout in Superior on

"The match is bound to be good

has rounded out in splendid fashion

GUY FINCH HAS
COVERED HIS
LAST Big STORY
Death Writes Thirty" on Career of
Brilliant Young Newspaper -
Man. ~.

Guy Finch ,one of the best known
newspaper men in Northern Mime
sofa, died yesterday morning at his
home in Fond du Lac, suburb of Du-
luth. He had been i'll of tuberculosis
about eight months. He was we'll
known in Virginia.
Mr.. Finch went to Duluth from
Grand Rapids, Mimi, about three
years ago and took a position in the
editorial department of the Duluth
News Tribune. During the time he
worked for that newspaper he held
nearly every position Of responsibility
on the staff. Mr.. Finch was North
west and Range editor of the paper
when he was forced to give up the
work he loved on account of failing
health. Before taking charge of this
department he had been assistant city
editor, telegraph editor and CONNER
cial and business editor.

by Mr. Finch were the special session
of the state legislature a year and a
half ago, the street car strike in Du-
luth, the last state political campaign
and numerous other important events
that gave the brilliant young writer
an opportunity to demonstrate his
ability.
And Guy Finch never failed to,
"cover" an assignment.
When he began his career as a
newspaper man on small weekly in
Southern Minnesota some years ago,
he announced that he was "Going to
stay by the game until I win" He
won. Some of the biggest stories ever
written in the Northwest were the eff
forts of Mr.. Finch. Perhaps the public
didn't know the name of the writer,
but his stories were appreciated. The
boys who worked with Guy knew
