can important change has been

been definitely decided that two sep

not short of week in duration but
is expected to prove one of the most
enjoyable events of the season.
''As it now stands Steamboat
Springs is planning on having a big
Strawberry Festival on July % and

on being there at that time. The
start will be made day or two ear

FRANKIE CALLAHAN,

NEW YORK. Aug. SO.-The IA
NOUS Dan McKetrick, manager and
fight promoter, is himself authority
for the statement that Frankie CAL
lahan," is some fighter"
In letter the noble Dan says.
Callahan, the Brooklyn lightweight
has a wonderful record, but failed to
receive the recognition he deserved
as he was not properly handled. He
has just come under my management
and you will find him fighting for
the championship this fall"
Dan goes on to say that Callahan
stopped Joe Rivers In two rounds and
in five rounds stopped Jack Reid,
the Australian lightweight brought to
this country by Joe Woodman and
Sam Langford. He also credits CAL
lahan with a popular decision over
Johnny Dundee and alleges that the
little Brooklyn lad really knocked out
Joe Mandot in Memphis. McKetrlck
says that Callahan had Mandot stiff
on the floo~ with the referee at the
count OF nine when they pulled the
bell on him. Jimmy Duffy, Tommy
Murphy and Sam Robideau were also
victims of Callahan, according to Dan.
From all Of this we gather that Nc
Ketrlck thinks he has added another
winner to his stable OF fighters. Time
will tell and perhaps soon. as Nc
Ketrlck Is negotiating for some
bouts for Callahan In the near fu-
ture.

he does not want Clark to cut off a

would also insist upon 20 round

youth eIoped with Bertha and took
her to the home of his brother,
where she sat around and rocked in
a chair while her sister-in-law did
the housework, until she decided she
would buy home.
To real estate man she went and
told her fairy tale, and on promises
of payment the moment she could
get the check from her guardian,
then out of town, and her earnest
desire to move into the house at once
as a courtesy, she got possession of
the house and then employed her
father-in-law, an interior decorator,
to change the interior decoration to
suit her and she would settle with
him when she got her money"
Perhaps the anxiety of the real es-
tate agent might be blamed for the
ending of Bertha's career of high
finance, for she kept him waiting for
her at Adams and Dearborn SITS. for
three hours one day while she
watched him from a nearby store
and then, deciding she must get some
real cash, she went to a loan COM
pany and offered her property as SCI
curity and gave as reference the peo-
pie for whom she had last worked. :
The loan company wrote to the
people and on top of the astounding
revelations of Bertha's wealth they
made an inventory and discovered
some jewelry missing, including a
diamond lavalliere worth $3.50 and
much wearing apparel
Bertha was arrested, but much of
the jewelry was reclaimed at pawn
shops and all of the loss was insured,
so no one, unless it might be the in
surance company, particularly suf-
fered and little by little the case
against Bertha dropped until she was
given her freedom.

HOOP DISEASE GONE.

Washington, Aurii 3.-VirtuaI Grad
ication Of the livestock foot and mouth
scourge In the United States was an.
nounced last night by the Department
of Agriculture. It was said that except
for q herd of animals near Syracuse.
N. Y, telegraphic reports from through
out the country showed the disease
wiped out.
Figures compiled by the department
show that 124.141 diseased animals
have been slaughtered from the time
of the outbreak in october to March
25. last. 1t was pointed out, however,
that the total loss could not be esti-
mated alone by the number Of animals
killed. Interference with operations
of stock yards, the quarantine OF In
fected regions and other precautionary
measures, 1t was said, had caused In
determinable losses.
The total value Of animals killed by
both the state and federal authorities
has been between five and six million
dollars.
