GUNBOAl SMITH s06aY RELIC
Of WHITE HOPE DAYS

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. Dec. 30.--Gunboat
Smith, survival OF that dim, dark age
when white hopes were abtoad In the
land. is through. Don't let anyone
say he isn't. The old ship, battle
SCARED in many an encounter, hook
ed up few nights ago with Frank
Moran, who has been through for
some time, and he was hard put to it
to hold his own.
The gunner, who had beaten
Champion Jess willard. who fought
George Carpenter to atstandstill and
lost on foul, who beat Sam Lang
ford once. only to lose in another en-
counter with the dusky son of swat,
has passed from among the lordly
race that once pried dollars from a
suffering public. There will be no
more mobs at New York club doors
to see the gunner take his medicine.
The mob got plenty when it saw the
gunner Keeling under lombard
bardment from Moran's guns.
Frank Moran was handed about
as nifty trimming as any man
should wnt to see when he met Jack
Dillon last summer Smith once
gave Dillon quite an interesting lit
tie session But Smith looked aw-
fully bad In the ring with Moran.
He gave the impression of being
ready to retire to the farm or the
battleship for the rest of his life.
The gunner has been a good old
scow. ZOO. He has fought about ev-
cry good white heavyweight since
the days of James ]. Jeffries, and
most of the time he was on the right
side Of the ledger.
II was the merest chance that
beat him out OF a crack at Champion
Jack Johnson when he took smash
at George Carpenter when the idol
OF France was down. That really
was the last good fight he ever took
part in Since then he has rapidly
been on the skids. The big crash
was the only thing wanting and It
came III the Moran battle.

Twenty MULE bNRAI TEAM
TO VISIT WAIiHlGHIE
''BoRsx" BILL STARTS ON A
FOUR-yEAR TOUR OF COUN-
TRy-TExAs INCLUDED.

The celebrated 20 mule team haul
ing borax from Death Valley has
started from San BernardiEo. Cal.
on its coast to coast tour. The tour
will cover period OF about four
years and this city will be visited.
The borax wagons each weigh 5000
pounds and have a capacity OF So
600 pounds. The front wheels are
five and the rear wheels seven feet
high, the hubs are eighteen inches
In diameter. the tires eight inches
vide and one inch thick. and the
wagon beds are sixteen feet long.
four feet wide and six feet deep.
The twenty mules are driven with
a jerk line" A strong steady pull
means turn 70 the right and a series
Of jerks mean turn TO the left. The
mules are trained months in advance
name. At one time the transporting
Of borax was done almost entirely
with twenty mule teams but the
building Of railroads eliminated
these mammoth teams. As there are
very few OF them in existence today,
the visit of this one here and the
public parade and lecture-togethe
with distribution OF samples OF
boray ard soap chips--will make an
event OF keen interest TO everyone.
"fsorax Bill. the driver. is re-
garded as the best mule driver ia
the west. From his youth he he's
driven these mammoth teams ana
understands mule language. Mulea
it is said, have some very marked
peculiarities and at times they seem
to conspire to do everything eon-
trary. But Borax Bill knows how
to handle them. He drove his first
90 mule team when he was nineteen
years old after year or two Of OK
perience as swamper. hauling mer-
chandise and mining supplies from
Carson City. Nevada, To Bodie. Cal

The tour in Texas will probably !
be through Cleburne, Fort Worth,
Dallas, Morgan, Clifton. Waxahaehie, |
Waco. McGregor, Gainesville. Austin,
San Antonio. San Marcos. Bremond. |
Hearne. Cameron. Sealey, Rosenberg, |
Houston, Galveston and fifty other
towns. The state of Texas is so large |
that in order to cover 1t thoroughly |
q great deal of time will be con-
sumed The 20 mule team is trade !
mark, in fact the only animated trade !
mark in existence. Housewives !
throughout Texas have seen this
brand in their kitchen for several
generations, and now they will see
it as a living, moving actuality. There
is no doubt of the fact that house
wives will be deeply interested and
the stores Of Texas. will have things
to give away freea A big newspaper
campaign is to be pro-
jected in conjunction with the tour.

Aircy In Bad Again

COLUMBUS. Ohio. May 6.-After
causing a panic in the Ohio National
Bank by dourishing a revolver and
pointing it at Policeman Charles w.
Smith. over the head of Emil Kiese-
wetter, president of the bank, George
Airey, aged SIS, today stabbd Police
man Smith when taken to police head
quarters and later was shot by the po-
liceman when ne attempted to escape.
Airey's escapadc was one of the
most sensational staged in down town
Columbus in months Airey, who is of
part Spanish blood, went to the bank
and demanded that President Kiese-
wetter secure a $500 certificate of de-
post which Airey has up in Charles
ton, w. Va, as bond for his appear
ance on a charge of stabbing.
President Kiesewetter had been an
noyed by the man several times, and
called the police. When officer Smith
arrived Airey pulled a revolver and
aimed at him, but was prevented from
firing when depositor pinned down
his arms. Other depositors sought the
cover of desks. fearing revolver bat
tie
At the police station Airey stabbed
officer Smith as handouts were being
taken off of him. He then attempted
to escape, but was shot as he was run
ming from the building. Airey was
taken to the hospital, where he is suf-
fering from a bullet wound I'm the
right kidney. Officer Smith received
gashes on his arms and back. but is
not in a serious condition.
The Airey spoken of in the above
account is the same fellow who was
recently released on bond from the
local Jail where he had been confined
on charge Of stabbing a man at New
burg some weeks ago and an account
of which appeared I'm The Argus at
the time.
AT the time of his release he gave as
security for his bond a certificate of
deposit for the amount and left here
Immediately 1t appears he is a bad
actor and was trying to secure the
release of his certificate OF deposit
but without success, and is now where
he will likely have time to mediate
on the ways of wickedness.
