of the rebel army. During his de-

Cochran was, court martialed, but

he had acted within his rights as a

pionship of England and the magni-
fcent sum of $500 a side. The shifty,
clever Bendigo was q marvel OF ring
science. while Caunt was slow, big
and beefy, but game Bendfgo literal

and himself. avoided punishment in a
remarkable manner Bendigo seemed
to be near victory when in the 18th
round he slipped and fell. He was
up again in second, but Caunt's
hackers claimed the fight lon the
ground that Bendy. had gone down
without blow being struck, and had
therefore committed a foul. While
it was plain to an that Bendigo's fall
was accidental. the referee, after long
wrang1ing. upheld the contention OF
the Caunt faction. and Ben by this
shady decision became champion.
Bendigo had previously defeated
Caunt, and a third bout was soon ar
ranged. An accident put Bendy out
of the game for q time, and it was not
until 1916 that the bout was staged.

His offer was accepted and he was

BULLOCK
HOLDS HIGH RANK
IN BRITISH ARMY
Former Stratford Clergy
man Does Yeoman Work
for Military Service.

Rev. C Seymour Bullock, former
chaplain of N. W. Bishop camp, Span
ish-American War Veterans of this
city and former department chaplain
of that organization in Connecticut, is
now chaplain of the American Legion
of the Canadian Overseas Army
He has the rank of major in the
military service. He has a commission
to raise three more companies of
Americans for service with the Allies
and at this writing may have laid
aside HIS ministerial garb to assume
his rank as a regular field officer in
command of the troops he is author
lied to raise.
Rev. Mr.. Bullock is widely known
here, especially in Stratford. Several
years ago he was a candidate for the
pastorate of one of the largest
churches in the town. Another clergy
man received the call however, and
then Mr.. Bullock proceeded to estab
lish a non-sectarian church inNChurch
street which he called the Neighbour
hood church.
He gathered about him a group of
admirers. and the fact that he started
to dig the cellar for the edifice him
self attracted much attention to him
from the newspapers I'll over the cour-
try. He soon obtained many follow
erS in this city. Letters of sympathy
and substantial checks poured in to
was built and every service found it
filled with an enthusiastic congrega-
ton. The minister often had a large
orchestra instead of the conventional
organ, to furnish music for the ser
vices. He chose sensational themes
for his sermons and introduced many
innovations. When he seemed at the
height of success and fair to establish
a large and permanent church. A
woman parishioner made a most ser
ious charge against him. Mr.. Bullock
denied the charge, stood trial and was
acquitted.
The sensational nature of the
charge against him and the notoriety
which he acquired during then trial,
which took place in New Haven, hurt
both the minister and his work His
congregation; except a devoted few,
lost heart, his outside sympathizers
withdrew their support and in a short
time the church was no longer self
supporting. Mr. Bullock soon after
ward withdrew his activities to other
fields. The building which he con-
structed is now the wigWam of Oke-
muck tribe, I. o. r. NJ.
After leaving Stratford Mr.. Bull
lock was connected with a. publish
ing house whose speciality was religi-
Gus tracts and books. Later he was
pastor of a New London church. Az
ter that he had a passionate in the
suburbs of Boston.
The outbreak of the present war
in Europe found him in charge of a
large church at Ottowa, Can. Follow
ing the sinking of the Lusitania he
preached a fiery sermon in which he
declared he had fur1ed his American
flag and practically renounced his
American citizenship until the Unit
ed States government takes action
against Germany. In his sermon he
criticised the Wilson administration
