is still living at the age ef fifty

during the civil war. Almost as won
derful is a plow which can be seen

of Geisler Bros. for safe keeping
during the absence of Mr.. Paris,
while on a visit in Nebraska. The
following is copy of certifica

CITY OWES SCHOOL DISTRICT.

At meeting of the Emme tsville
school district a few days ago, a
resolution was adopted making form
al demand of the city for the pay
ment of half of the police court
fines amounting to s701, which have
accumulated during the past eight
years.
The matter came up before the
meeting of the city council Monday
tight and caused no little discussion.
It was finally laid over for action
by the new city officials.
The statutes of the state provide
that the school districts in incorpor-
ated towns and villages shall be
paid one-half Of the police court
fines collected by such cities OF VII
lagos Through an oversight of the
city officials, or ignorance OF the
law, this has not been done since
1907. The trustees of the school
district have also overlooked this
source Of revenue. Accordingly, no
accounting has been made of the
fines for eight years. As the law
is very plain as to the division of
the funds derived from fines, the
city will have to dig up''-Emmett

PICK JACK WELSH TO REFEREE JOHNSON AND WILLARD BOUT

Havana, Cuba, March 26.-Out of the long list of possible referees that were submitted to the fighters and the man agers who are concerned in the bout for the heavyweight championship of the world, between Jack Johnson and Tess Willard, which will be fought here Easter Sunday, ssJack'' Welsh, of San Francisco, was chosen yesterday. No alternate was agreed upon. Jack, Curley wired Welsh last night to ask him if he was willing to of11ciate, but as yet his attitude is un- known.
 The enthusiasm of the Cpbans is i'm creasing in leaps and bounds. and 1t begins to look as if there will be a big gate of natives. even if there are no tourists attracted. The betting is Il to 5, with the negro the favorite. The packers of the white man seem to be holding off
 A physical examination of Johnson was made yesterday by an American physician. and he stated that the ne gro was in good condition.

In addition to this the psychology of the bout is in favor of Johnson, for he has shown good spirits all the way.

its earthworks had in the rear three other forts, and all were protected by tangled wires, sharpened rails and other Instructions.
 Gordon's job was to capture Fort Steadman and the forts in it's rear and thus open a way by which the whole army could pass through the Union lines and fall upon Grants left wing. It was hoped thus to disor- ganize the Union forces so that Lee could have time to collect the various armies of the Confectionery and face Grants men in another great battle.
 It was shortly after midnight on March 26, 1865. that the Confederate attack on Fort Steadman commenced. Taken by surprise, the Union pickets were captured, and the axmen of Gordon,s force. cleared away the ob- structions. Then the main body rushed toward the fort and captured it, with 700 prisoners and the rigadier-general in command who had been caught sleeping.
 The daring plan, desperate as it was, seemed fated to succeed. But there remained the three forts in the rear. The attachments sent against them blundered in the dark, and light came they were far from the strongholds they had been sent to take.
 As the sun peeped over the horizon the Union forces closed in and the shattered force of the Confederates was driven back to Petersburg. Sur prise was the main element of Lees plan, and he could not hope to re- peat it. A week later Lee was at last dislodged from his intrenchments and compelled to retreat-a retreat that ended a few days later when Lee surrendered himself and his army to the conQuering Grant.
 The attack on Fort Steadman was but a. flash in the pan. but, except for inc bIundering Of the guides, it would probably have succeeded, and Lee would have been free to effect a Junction with the other Confederate

 GIANTS JOINS ST. LOUIS TEAM

Marlin, Texas, March 26.-The de- parture of Outf1e1der Bob Bescher for St. Louis Cardinal pastures and the arrival of Secretary John B. Foster with a new supply of funds for the bridge game were the chief topics Of discussion yesterday.
 A wire from Schuyler Britton, pres ident of the St. Louis club. reached
 dcGra.w at noon yesterday. Britton asked the New York manager to mo- tify Bescher that his terms had been accepted by the St. Louis club, and to report Immediately to Manager Huggins. McGraw thereupon tele- graphed Bescehr. who played with the Colts today in Sherman, to join the Cardinals at Little Rock. Des- mond Beatty will play the position vacated by Bescher. Huggins asked for immediate delivery, as he wants to play Beseher next week in the St. Louis city series between the Cardi-. nals and Browns.
 The St.Louis club makes; all con- sessions. stipulated by Bescher. His contract, containing a non-re1ease clause, is extended until after the season of 1917, and he gets a raise in salary. Bescher has stated that he intends to retire then. He will play left field, Lee Magee,s old posi- ton.

sEA1I-CENTENARY OF LAST
 GALLANT STRUGGLE OF LEE.


 In these days of warfare it is in- teresting to recall the closing scenes of that great struggle between the northern and southern states of America which were being acted on the stage of Virginia half 8 century ago. As winter gave way to spring in 1865 the gallant armies of the Con- federacy were making their last stand against the blue cordon which Grant had drawn surely about them. They were beaten. those brave boys in gray, but they refused to admit it, and fought on until fairly over- whelmed by superior numbers and armament.
 Fifty years ago today Gen. Robert B. Lee played his last strategic card in the losing game of war. Gallant ly he had held the defenses of Peters burg and Richmond, but he realized that the end was near unless by some desperate expedtent he could break his way through the blue line at Petersburg. In that final exhibition of his brilliant strategy Lee chose as his agent Gen. John B. Gordon, the hero of eight wounds.
 Tn working out his scheme for en- abling the army of northern Virginia. to escape from Grants grasp at Petersburg, Lee directed Gordon to head 25,O0O men and seek to fight his way through the Federal lines at Fort Steadman. This stronghold and
