Jimmy Dime, From Tipperary, Begins His
 50th Year Today

ssss
 It's a long. long way from Tipper ary, and, in the case of Jimmy Dime, the i1lustrious pugilistic irnpresario of Newcastle, Pa, it is a matter of near ly half a.. century as well as many miles Of wet water. Jimmy will begin his fiftfeth year tomorrow, having been born in T1pperary on the ouI sod. Nov 8, 1885 In his younger day James was quite a classy feather weight and lightweight, and since re- tiring from the ring he has trained and managed more fighters than ha can-ur cares to-remember s41e.selaas had scores of boxers under his wing. and he is lonesome if his stable con taIins Tess than 8 dozen scrappers George Chip, the nniddleweigIt, is the most promising of Dimes later deyel- opments.
 Last year Jimmy organized a foot ball club of his lighters and toured western Pennsylvania and Ohio with the gang. stBearcats' McMahon was the captain of this ferocious aggrega- tion of gridiron perform CTS, and the lineup included Chip, Tony Ross. wildcat Jones, 'eDeInOn DanH Daily s::CycIone Joe'' Chip and other slug gers whose u1onickers alone were enough to freeze the blood of their opponents.
 It was about quarter of a. cen-
  career by knocking out Ed Horning in the thirteenth round of a fight at MayfieId, N Y From 1889 until 1893 he won every fight in which, he en- gagged with the exception of an ex- hibition with George Dixon, by SCOT ing knockouts. Most of these early battles were staged in Amsterdam and other New York towns, and in De- troit, Newcastle and Johnstown. Jerry Marshall was the first boxer to escape Jirnrny's K. o. punch and the best he got was draw.
 In 1884 Jimmy invaded New York and defeated Johnny German and Jerry Marshall. In the same year he fought an eight-round draw in Bos- ton with the famous Young Gr1ffo, the clever Australian. Dime nrsf tasted defeat at Cleveland in 1895. when he broke his arm in 8 bout with Eddie Connolly. A year later, he was defeated by Mike Leonard at lFoy. His last important bout was Wltn ! Jimmie German at Troy in 1899, when he was, defeated in eleven rounds
 According to Jimmy, who has had a lot of experience and ought to know the business of managing boxers 1s not to be regarded as a, soft snap. Prfma donnas haven't thing on pug ilists when it comes to stempera- ment.', according to Jimmy Some YOU must humor, some you must bully" declared Dime in an interview some time ago, in which he discussed the woes of pugtlistic raanager. Fighters are mighty peculiar salo Jimmy ssYou have to study thei1 temperaments and figure out just the right method to control them. r oI have to jolly some along and others YOU have to browbeat, and when botf these methods fail you have to hs wake at night and dope out so1r1s

A severe rebulSe for f'disrespectful and contenptuous'' attitude toward the court was given to Attorney How ard Taylor of Danbury today iby Judge Burpee of the superior court.

For the second time within 24 hours. man giving the name of James Travis, about 50 years old, well dressed and claiming to be a Brook Iyn attorney, is occupying a cell at police Headquarters charged with in todcation and breach of the peace. His second arrest took place at head quarters before the convening of city court when he appeared roundly abused the police and demanded the return of his $15 bond.

Travis was taken out of a down town cafe last night by Policemen Barton and Kane for use of abusive language He obstinately refuses to give his Brooklyn address, accusing the policemen of being in league with the newspapers and trying to get the information so that his plight may be published broadcast in New York and BrookIyn.

The Juror and friction of politics
are out of our system for the nonce.
Let us forget it. The majority has
rendered a verdict at the polls. Like
good citizens let us submit to the ver-
dict with as good grace as possible
and concentrate our attention upon
that that will contribute to the best
interest of the community in which we
live. Stop talking Sbout hard times
and times will not appear so hard as
they seem to be when everybody is
singing the same refrain. Business
has been quiet, money has been tight,
clouds have lowered upon the COM
mercial and industrial horizon before,
but the sun of prosperity still shines
behind those clouds and in time will
break forth in full refulgency. That
sun is due to put in an appearance be-
fore long. Be an optomist. Stop rock
ing the boat of pessimism. Brace up
an do the pull act. Bad times are only
made worse by broOding over and
talking about them. Throw any
crouch you have into the discard, and
play the game as though you held 6
royal flush. 1t is never so bad bu,
that it might be worse and whcr
everything is taken into consideration
| it is not so worse up in this neck o
the woods. You ought to be. glad thai
you are not in Belgium, feeding or
lead and scrap iron.

By the most despicable and dis
reputable means that have ever been
employed in this county in political
campaign J. A. Blackler, republican
candidate for the legislature, was de-
feated Tuesday. Had not the con-
temptible lies been injected into the
campaign at the last minute, so it was
impossible to refute them, Mr.. Black
Ter would have been elected hands
down. His opponents knew this. Nc
doubt the democrat candidate will ac-
cept the Office under these circum.
stances, for it takes man of ex-
|ceptionally strong moral fibre to re.
fuse an Office where corrupt means
have been employed to secure it. How
ever, this resort to the lowest meas.
contest to gain an Office was not on &C.
count of any ill will felt toward Mr.
Blackler, but because Mr.. Blackler is
a citizen of Oroville. Had it been an!
other man from OrOville, democrat OF
republican, the result would have
been the same. The same dirty tactics
would have been used. 1t has always
been so. For reasons unknown, unless
1t be rank jealousy, all other towns
Of the county are openly opposed tt
Oroville. 1t is pretty near time thai
the people of Oroville realized this
universal opposition, and laying aside
all petty differences, unite as solit
and harmonious whole and work to-
gether for any object they may desire
to accomplish as unit.

Omak favored removal if removed was

1T is strange now circumstances al
ter cases, at least some cases. For
years large number of citizens of
this county, a strong minority, have
advocated county division, simply be-
cause the present county is entirely
too cumbersome. During the recent
county seat campaign those who have
heretofore bitterly opposed county
division, and who are as bitterly OPP
posed today as they ever have been,
persisted and insisted in making
county division the chief issue.
Postpone county seat removal and
divide the county" was the cry.
There was no sincerity in the plea
Division is a myth at this time, and

ties, that are opposed to giving the

nit such enormous counties as Okla.

Some people take politics so seriou

Some people take politics so serious
ly as to make 1t personal matter.
They are alive to the interests of their
own candidates, but are not willing to
grant the other fellow the same right
and privilege. Those kind of people
are narrow between the eyes and
mushy about the grey matter. Such
men carry over the troubles OF the
night before, and are chemically
grouchy. They should take a reef in
their temper, and join the merry
sports who are good losers and gen.
erous winners. There has always
been difference of opinion as to how
this great and glorious land of ours
should be run, and there will be a
division until the crack of doom. 1t
is time that everybody was getting
used to it, and that individual units
of the complete whole grant to their
neighbors the same freedom of opin-
ion that they insist upon exercising
themselves.
