NEW YORK, May 21.-The advance
signs OF coming summer seem not to
deter the fight bugs. Straw hats are
as common as flies In August along
Broadway now but the indoor win
ter sport Is claiming more than It's
share of attention. Everywhere thero
Is an undcrcurront of talk about the
big lighters and finally the discussion
always leads around TO tho question:
When and who will Jess Willard mix
II with2 That seems TO be OF more
interest TO the Broadway fight sport
than anything on the calendar just
now
And Billy Gibson's re ue7t for S10.-
600 for Jim Coffey's end in a match
with Charley Weinert has stirred the
unsettled waters anew. Jack Bdlger,
Weinerts manager. replied he was
willing to split that figure. But Gibson
can hold out, for offey is w,rth all
he can get and would prove a mighty
good drawing card I'm such match.
OF course. the talk of his netting
willard right soon is a little prema-
ture. but Coiiey ought 10 be able 60
hold his own with Wcincrt
But the big idea in Gibson's mind
Is that Coffey Is i'm training for a
match with Willard some time. The
date Is not of much importance for the
big champion is lot anxious TO dis
play his wares in the roper ring just
yet; but when he Is prepared to coma
out into the ring again jim Cofey eX-
poets TO be sitting inside the ropes
waiting for Jess.
So Gibson wants Coifey TO meet all
Comors until the big time arrives.
when his fighter will be In condition
I to stand up TO the champ. Billy Glib
son is crafty manager but IL Will
take some clever work to force the big
Kansas cowboy champ into the ring
before he wants to.
However, unless Gibson and Bull
ger come 10 terms there is not much
chance Of Coney meeting Weinert.
The Broadway Sporting Club wanted
the match. as Coney IS a favorite of
the New York fight bugs" just now.

BODY Of WILKES
BOOTH IS MISSING

The body of the supposed Wilkes
Booth, the slayer of Abraham Lin
coin, is missing from its place in the
undertaking establishment formerly
owned by w. B. Penniman, in Enid
okla. Some mystery attaches to the
case because the body was not
missed until recently, Other inter-
esting developments may yet be ex-
pected in this already strange case.
Since the death of the man named
George in the old Grand Avenue
hotel, the body was in the keeping OF
w. B. Penniman until the latter sold
to Mr. Walroth. The claims made
by George just before his death that
he was Wilkes Booth caused nation
wide talk at the time, although very
few ever gave credence to the mans
claim. The local interest surround
ing the case had long died away,
until today it seems possible that
ne wand interesting situations may
arise over possession of the body.

Judge Huston yesterday dismissed
the damage suit brought by Leroy
Waugh against Frank Dale, H. j.
Dibbens and j c. Strang. Waugh,
in his suit, asked for $4,000 damages,
charging false Imprisonment. The
damage case grew out of a former
case, wherein Waugh sued the Gtth-
rie Gas company for injuries received
in an explosion, in which Waugh
was badly injured. The cause was
finally settled out of court after
Waugh had been given $4,000 dam
ages by jury. The Imprisonment
of Waugh followed his refusal to
testify in hearing before Judge
Strang in county court, last year.
