Willard and Johnson

Willard and johnson
 Nearly every loser of an important battle in the roped aroma in tho last century or more, has been a flvorite at short odds. John L. Sullivan was one of the nolabies in this particular Others have followed in the order ir which they assumed prominence in the world Of boxing or fighting.
 The biggest asset in favor Of Jess WiHard's chance in his coming iigh. with Jack Johnson is the numoer oi experts and so-called expert autnori ties who are picking him for q sure loser. That the batting angle, as well as the expert opinions, counts Cor little can easily be figured out by taidng O look at most championship nghts in the last thirty yearF
 Let us start back with the Cor bett-Sulliyah fight, which took place in New Orleans in 1891 You could count on the fingers Of one hand the number Of critics who gave corbeti even an outside chance to win. The betting was five to one against him and thousands of dollars of Sullivan money could not be coverod even at that price Whom Corbetl was de feated by Bob Fltzsimmons Inc ruled an overwhelming fayorite.
 James J. Jeffries made bis New York City debut under the manage ment of Che late Billy Delaney sched- uled to defeat Bob Armstrong and Steve ODonnen in ten rounds each. He took on Armstrong first and bis attempt at stopping the rangy negro proved an utter failure Jefries claimed that he broke his arm, and was laughed out of the ring. The 0ponnell end or it was called off and every expert and critic at tho ringside branded Jeffries as the big gest puginstic joke Of the age. The bis fellow still full Of ambition and confidence in his own prowress, re. turned to Los Angeles and for a time worked in the old boiler factory.
 seats Fitozlmmons
 One year later he returned East, and Billy Delaney with the assist ance of Blny Brady. matched Jeffrles against Boh Fitzsimmons for the heavyweight championship. The bout was ridiculed ga joke. stll, Jeff ries won with e clean knockout in eleven rounds. For n time the writ CTS could not offer any explanation and readily gave circulation to the story that Fitzsimmons was doped. Subsequent happenings. however, re- futed tbat story, and Jeffries was voted the greatest heavyweight that ever lived.
 Alter several years layoff, Jeffries went back Into the ring to uncrown Jack Johnson, who had reached tho top rung Of tho pugi'istic ladder by defeat ing Tommy Buns, who became cham plon by virtue of Jeffrles retirement. This same Tommy Burns won the ti- tle from Marvin Hart at Los Ange- les, with the betting 3 1-2 Co ] against him. Even witch Jeffries absence from the ring md five years added to his life. tho sport public and critics made him an overwhelming favorlte in the betting and ring history tells what an utter mistake it proved to bring Jeifries back into the game.
 So much for Che Heavyweight ranks, which applies as well to every other class of pugilism. az. for instance if you viii recall Che PediarPalmer- McGoYern fight the McGSvern-cor- bett outcome, the BrittNelson battle, coulon Williams, Dempsey Fit1sim- mona and many others too numerous to menuon.

TRIED FOR ASSAULT,
DECLARED JUSTIFIED

"A very interesting case was tried
out before police Judge j. f. Vaw-
ter, Wednesday afternoon, when
Frank lsham was tried on the
charge of attacking Ieke Harris
with a deadly weapon.
From the evidence given, the
judge could not find where Isham
had done other than protected
himself, freeing Isham and placing
the cost of the case against the
county, which virtually means
Harris.
The evidence was to the effect
that Isham had made deal with
Harris whereby he was to have
half of the crop on the farm for
the cultivation of it and was also
to receive the free use of the farm
during the fall and winter.
There was considerable quarreling
between Isham and Harris after
wards which eliminated in Harris
drawing a revolver on Isham with
the result that Isham picked up an
iron bar from the ground and gave
the Ethiopian a bad beating, cut
ting his head up in bad way,
stopping. however, when pos
session was gotten Of the gun.

BROWN OUTLINES
EXCELLENT PLAN
No. lO7ii

AT the Thursday meeting Of the
city commissioners, A. II. Brown
outlined what has proven in other
places to be an excellent system to
get clear water from the Missouri
river
The sl stem Brown mentioned is
in use at the Cheyenne Agency and
consists of a series Of l. inch iron
pipes sunk into the edge Of the
embankment of the river and with
screen tip at the lower end
through which the water filters.
He suggested that the commits
sioners inspect the system, Offering
to take them there and back in his
auto free Of charge or cost.

of using the water in the state it
comes to the water users at times
is a bad advertisement to the city
and what is far more true is worse
on the user.
