FOUND GOOD HOME
P0TOSI TOWNSHIP TAKEN TO
COUNTY FARM FRIDAY.

Fritz Lingscheid, aged 70 years and
blind since a little boy, will find care
and a freedom from cold and hunger
at the county farm from now on.
Fritz has been since childhood res
ident of Potosi township. 1t is said
that he, though blind, knew every
nook and corner of the town and
could find his way unaided any place
he wished to go. For many years he
acted as fiddler and good one he was
say those who know. He also made
broOms, etc., as means of making a
living. But a year ago fire burned
down his little home and since then
things have not gone so well. So it
was thought best to take him to the
county home.

Made and Lost Fortune.
Ftzsimmons made a fortune in the
ring, but his earnings soon vanished.
His contest with Jim Hall in New
Orleans was for a purse of $40, 900,
but Fitzsimmons only received a por-
ton. His first battle with Jeffries
drew $4,000 and his second 1000.
The receipts of his battle with Gus
Rubin were $45.0 600 and his contest
with Tom Sharkey drew $685. 00.
The former champions first Amer

Francisco. His queer hops" ana anus
ing style of fighting brought laughs
from the spectators and eve made
his opponents smile. He appeared
awkward, but soon his experience
eliminated his crudeness. He really

Jack Dempsey in 1891, for the mid
dleweight championship. After that

face him. SO starting in 1894, he be-

Fitzsimmons had a varied matri-

times, one of his wives being Julia
Clifford. an actress. His present wife
recently became an evangelist. She
also appeared with Fitzsimmons, in
a vaudeville act in which the former
champion gave an exhibition of bag
punching and other training stunts.

Engaged in Sports.
Naturally athletic, Fitz engaged in
all kinds of sports. Before taking
up boxing, he was a hammer throw
er and long distance inner His
speed and endurance were so mar
velous that he was given to hunting
Kangaroos afoot. The former cham
pion's ring career began AS the win
ner of a lightweight competition pro-
New Zealand, in 1880. He defeated
four men, knocking out three of them
and thus became the amateur cham
pion of the country. The next year
he defended his honors, defeating
fl e opponents in one night.
Fitzsimmons continued at the forge
for the next six or seven years. but
was ready to fight at the first oppor-
tunity., After fighting three battles
with Jim Hall, then regarded as the
middleweight champion of Australia,
Fitzsimmons came to America in
1890. He was one of the lightest
men to win the heavyweight cham
pionship. He rarely weighed more
than 165 pounds when in condition
and gave away as much as fit:
pounds to some opponents.
Won Championship in 1897.
Fitzsimmons won the worlds
heavyweight title in 1897. when ne

fourteenth round of their memorable
