This was Fer8laen hrst ring engage- ment and marked the beginning of a pugilfstfc career which was full of promise, but which was blasted by lack Of proper training. John Fer guson was a native of Moncton, N. B., and stood six feet three inches, all though he weighed considerably less than 200 pounds in his lighting prime His nrst defeat was at the hands Of Dick O'Brfen. to whom he lost on q foul in Lewiston. Me, in 1901. A little later he went to Eng land, where he lost on q foul to Kid Mccoy, the clever Hoosier, but knocked out Denver Ed. Martin and several British boxers. In 1908 he fought Jack Johnson at Boston, and lost by only a marrow margin. He then fought a draw with Gus RuhHn, and tackled Johnson again at CoIma. Cal, losing the decision In 20 rounds.

WAR MAKES SKUNKS
 WoRTH LESS THAN USUAL.
(Deep River New Era-l


 Few realize what factor the Amer ican skunk, or wood pussy some times referred to as s.the Connecticut essence pedd1er,', Is in the business affairs of the country, and 1t will be considered with greater respect when 1t is learned that its pelt furnishes the bulk of this country's export fur trade
 The European war. however. has brought about conditions that have greatly depreciated the value of the skunk and it will be hunted with less vigor this fall than previously as the pelt now has a market value of but a for a number one skin as compared with a value Of from 3S.50 to $4 last year.
 Hundreds of hunters in this state have made a business during the fall months of catching skunlxs for mar ket and it was very profitable as 1t netted them a tidy sum, but now the demand has fallen so low that the price hardly compensates for the trou- ble of hunting, catching, skinning and shipping the pelts.
 Germany, France and England usually took most of the skunk skins shipped from this country. but the market there no. longer exists. In London there are usually four fun sales year, but these have been abandoned since the war broke out. |
