honor OF meeting Freddie Welsh

claim its fighter won last nights bout
unless the fighters get together some
where and make a finish go of IT,
Neither fighter showed any marks
today. That. in itself. shows how
nearly even the rounds were.
Fight One of the Fastest Ever Seen.
The fight was one or the fastest Of
fered to New York for years and in
the first four rounds there was alb
solutely no choice between the BOYS
In the fifth round White began to
reap the benefit Of his longer reach
and greater knowledge of the finer
points of the game. Even then it was
far from one-sided and Shugrue came
back in the sixth with another even
round to his credit.
In the seventh White again took
the lead He seemed in better con-
dition than his heavier opponent and
after rOughing it around the ring for
several seconds forced Shugrue TO
hold in a cinch TO save himself from
This fault of Shugrue developed as
the fight progressed. The Jersey
battler. apparently firing of the rapid
pace which White was setting for
him, was very adroit in his efforts
TO prOlong the ciinches, but Roche
continually sent him out to fight, and
in the exchanges in the following
rounds White had the better of the
going.
Shugrue in the ninth round put up
a desperate battle and emerged from
this period with honOrs even. but in
the tenth the grueling grind proved
too fast for him and again he resorted

announced as follows: White

a day of rain, there was about $500

II Johnny Maulbe tsch. who half

rough. maybe Harvard would have
given Michigan a game in 1915. But
Johnny would get rough. He would
bust holes right through the Harvard
line. And now Harvard won't play
Michigan in 1915. If Spiegel. Elem

so rough. if they hadn't run right
through the Harvard lire and around
its wings, Harvard might have given
w. & J. a game in 1915. but they did

The moral seems to be. If you
want 10 have Harvard schedule you
for a game each year. you must be
careful not to come anywhere near
beating it.

SEEKING WESTERN TEAM

CHICAGO, Dec 3O.-Dartmouth' 5
endeaVor to secure a western foot
ball game seems doomed to failure, at
least for next season. Illinois and
Michigan. in addition-to Chicago, have
refused to give the Green a date, their
reasons, like Chicago's, being that
their schedules already are filled. This
leaves NOtre Dame as the only pos
sible opponent in the west worthy of
attention from the HanOverians, and
it has not been decided, in view of the
rebuffs from other western teams,
whether the Green will open negotia-
tons to this end.
1t may be possible that Michigan
will accept an eastern date with
Dartmouth in order to force Harvard's
hand.

Bucks overstepped their marks in the
play last night.
Hart of the Outcasts took high
tilt. He marked up the highest single
game tally with 209 and for a total
chalked up 566. This does not equal
the mark Of Clio rolled by Dennis in
the singles Monday night. but leads
Atvas, standing second in that diViS-

Van Kirk of the Outcasts also rolled
a good total with SOS, while Robinson
and Schneider Of the G. A. G. aggre-
cation ran 545 and 544. respectively.
The G. A. club team played a pretty
game throughout, the men rolling
consistently.

Editor TELEGRAPH:
So far as | have been able to
learn almost every voter in Mine

county seat.
One man | know of is said to
favor removal for the reason that
there will likely be more places
of amusements, such as moving
picture shows in Hope than Wash
ington now furnishes.
Quite q number of voters in
Mine Greek signed the petition
for removal, but | find that quite
a number of those signers {.

heard one man say that1ro signed
without reading itand at the sanss-
time told the carrier that he
would begin right away to fight
removal. One of the carriers of
the petition told me that a num-
Der of signers did not favor re-
moval but signed simply to bring
on an election.
The man who reasons that
new court house and Jail could be
built and paid for without hurt
ing any poor man is like the many
who have never learned hat if
you take care of the mallchange
the dollars will take care of them
selves" SOmany people reckless
ly spend their small bills that
they are never able to own one of

change recklessly spent hy some

REASON IT OUT

In this issue appears fac-Sim-
lie cut of the strong and beautiful
court house OF Hampstead Coun-
ty, Ark. We want everybody to
look, examine and scrutinize it.
This house belongs to the peo-
pie of Hampstead County. II is
yours; it is paid for; it costs you
practically nothing to maintain it.
1t costOur oJiert taxpayers a great
deal TO build it, but to move the
county seat would cost you a
Tfeat deal more. I do not heEin
to believe that the honest toilers,
the patriotic citizens of Hemp
stead County, can look upon this
building, towering gigantic,
grand, colossal, pOrtraying the
wisdom and courage, pride and
sweat of ourforefathers, and then
give their suffrage to tear down
and hurl to the forewinds this
monumental possession.
If a man cared not for what he
said, this would be a good time to
burden the people of Hampstead
County with thirty or forty years
of taxation to build another court
house, ten miles from the center
of the county. Why is it a good
time to do this? Because the
drouth threatens the crops, and
the taxes are just about all that
we can now stand. Oh! The pre-
sumption of some people. Who
is so indebted to Hope, and what
has Hope done for Hampstead
county that poor men should vol
UNFAIRLY make themselves poorer
that the removal bunch might be
come richer? Unlike the Master,
who became poor that we might
be rich, this bunch would become
richer that we, the people of the
county, for the qualification of her
pride, may become poorer.
No, no, says the poor man, we
will not bend our necks to your
yoke, neither will we wear a
crown of taxes, pressed to the
bleeding point by your hands.

ELECTION ON RE-
MOVAL QUESTION
ORDERED FOR SATURDAY
JULY Is

question OF county seat removal,
came before the county court
Monday. A remOnstrance was
filed by J. H. Webb and others,
asking to be made parties and de-
nying that the petition contained
one-third of the qualified voters
of Hampstead County. The re
monstrants were made parties
and given until 10 o'clock We'd
nesdav morning in which to file
their answer and examine the pc
tition.
On Wednesday morning the re-
monstrants filed their answer,
together with a list of names al
legged to be improperly on the pc
tition, and not qualified voters.
This list contained something
over 1900 names. The petition
contained 3439, which would leave
1859 off, or one hundred less than
the number required in order to
get an election.
No evidence was introduced in
the case and the court took the
matter under advisement until
4 o'clock, at which time the court
announced that after investiga-
ting the petition and the remon-
STRANGE, it was satisfied that the
petition contained one-third o t
the qualified voters OF the county,
after putting back on the petition
the names that should not have
been checked off. The court then
announced that it would make the

and mother. This boys name was
Alfred johnson. He was strong
sturdy boy of fourteen. but as strong
and sturdy as he was he was gentle
and polite He was used to hard
labor as young as he was ano could
jump, run and swim better than any
boy in the village. He was not quar-
reisome, but could defend himself
when necessary. He went to school
in the country schoolhouse. hve miles
away from his home Alfred ranked
the highest and was the best scholar
In the class. All the boys liked him
because he was friendly and would
play with them.
One day as Alfred was passing
through the woods on his way to
school he met a man who looked sus-
picious.
The man went up to Alfred and,
not knowing he was William john
sons son, asked him: boy, could
you direct me to William Johnson's
home? l am a wheat merchant and
would like to buy some wheat"
Alfred knew his father had no
