HOW FIGHTER DUNDEE GOT
HIS START and HIS name

Ability to Sell Fish and !
Boxer on Ring Career.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. &c. =
His zeal to sell fish. and the sing
ing of a Scotch ballad at a psyche
logical moment, had a great deal
to do with the launching of john
ny Dundee's career as a fighting
featherweight.
His real name isn't Dundee al
all. And that's where the Scotch
ditty comes in.
An Italian fish merchant in
New York by the name of Carrora
found that he had a clever adj
vsrtfser in his son Joseph. When
trade wasn't brisk little Joe would
invite any other kid who felt so
inclined to go a round or two
with him in gloved encounter be-
fore his fathers market. II drew
a crowd. After the fight was
over the spectators would step in
and buy.
Joe was keeping 10 up, with
glory and profit to the house of
Carrora one day when Scotty
Monteith discovered the diminu-
tive battler. He made the boy q
proposition then and there 20
put him into the professional
ring.
Montieth told him to show up
at the Northside Athletic club
next day. Promptly at the APP
pointed hour Joe was there,
whistling one of the songs he d
heard Chauncey Oleott sing the
night before, 1.-The Maid of Dun

ELECTED OVER
THE GANG WHIPS

lt was learned today that while james
Saulsbrys who was elected chairman OF
the Democratic city committee ON We'd
ncsday night. is cousin Of senator
Willard salisbury, he was elected in the
face Of opposition of Senator Salisbury
and the senators friends.
While IL Is taken for granted that
Chairman Salisbury is a follower OF
Senator Salisbury and win generally
head the senator's leadership, the fact
remains that he was chosen chairman
over recognized Salisbury candidate,
John j. Mullin. Of the Fifth ward The
fight was very close. salisbury receiving
fifteen votes 70 thirteen received by
Mr. Mullin.
The candidacy OF Mr.. Mullin was
backed by Postmaster James ]. Eng
lish. Martin r. Fairy and a few other
recognized Salisbury leaders ano
workers. Some OF the other com-
mitteemen didn't want Mr.. Mullln for
chairman. however. John +. NAL

them. They headed a fight to beat

trying 90 carry them out at all times,
and 20 the surprise Of the ringsters.
they we're beaten by the Mall0y and
Brady cOterie, backing James Sauls-

The election Of Salisbury as chair
man is considered an anti-Saulsbury
victory only IN the sense that some
OF the committeeman grew tired of
having Senator Salisbury give orders
and having them carried out unQues-
toned under the English and Fairy
leadership.

West Main street. daughter of
Abram LIE Feber, one of the wealth

The Identification was made in an
unusual way brother, Edward LIE
Feber, fearing from her continued
absence that the unfortunate woman
was his sister, came to the morgue
Hearing that the body was horribly
mangled he refused to view the re-
mains, but examined the clothes she
had worn. The white sweater, that
was the distinguishing feature of the
woman's clothing, he said was his.
She also wore gray sweater which
he identified as her own. This COM
pleted the Identification and arrange
nlents were made TO have an under
taker remove the body
The cause for the suicide of the
young woman was explained by lie
Feber as insanity caused by nervous
breakdown She left home without
saying anything to other members of
the family as to her destination.
Throughout the day they awaited her
return and when the news came OF
the dead woman dressed in white the
family knew who the victim was

tosa, where her family has been
prominent for several decades. After
