THIEVES IN THE
 RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

During all great revolutions, when law and order have become tempor- arily upset, there have been those who immediately abused their newly won privileges, have made liberty an opportunity for license and have rob- bed, pillaged and murdered. So it was during the recent revolution. The police of the new Russian Republic are still looking for the thieves who footed the Senate Building at Petro- grad, carrying off silver statues val ued at almost a million dollars. No sooner had the revolutionary disord- CTS begun, than six armed robbers ap- peared before the building and an nounced that the statues of the Ro- manoff family offended their revolu- tionary sentiments. They knocked down the porter tied him up and put a bag over his head. Then they en- tered the famous Catherine Hall and took away the famous silver statue of Catherine II, valued at 500, 900 rubles. and another statue represent ing Russia at prayer. These and otfl- CTS were taken to waiting ahtorn6- bile and the robbers, some of whom were disguised as soldiers made off and haven't been seen or heard of since. ;, 4

MORRISSEY ROSE FROM
 BOXER TO CONGRESSMAN

John Morrissey fought one of the ibitterest fights of his career on Aug 31, 1852. when he met eieorge Thomp- a foul in eleven rounds. Morrissey, who later became champion of Ameri- ca and afterwards a member of Con- gress, gained his first experience as a
 fighter while working as a deck-hand on. a Hudson River steamboat. He went to California during the gold rush, and was Induced to meet Thomp- son, an English boxer. who was also known as Bot McLaren. There was much tll-feeling between Morrissey and Thompson, and they fought to satisfy a personal grudge as well as for $2,000, hung up by the pioneer
 California sports. The great ma ority of the crowd backed Morrissey,
 but it was early apparent that the Irishman was novice at the game
 compared with the Englishman. Thompson knocked Morrissey down time after time, and when it was seen that the Hibernian didn't have a chance to win fairly the crowd grew ugly. Revolvers and knives were drawn and hourished, and the Eng tlishman was warned that if he hurt Morrissey he would be- shot full of holes and carved into mince meat. The
 prospect didn't appeal to Thompson who had few friends at the ringside to help him if matters reached crisis and in the eleventh round he laid down and quit. Morrissey became a hero after this victory"
