FULTON is AGAIN
IN LIME LIGHT
Fred's Failure to Knock Out Billy
Miske Rouses His Critics to
Make Unfavorable
Remarks.
MIsKE rs GIVEN CREDIT
Eyes Of Fight Fans Now on New Or
leaaa Where Fulton viii Meet
Moran Critical Time
For Fred.
IBY H. c. HAMILToNl

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan 19.-Poor match
making by Fred Fulton's manager has
again carried the ponderous heavy
weight into the limelight of public dis
cussion. Criticism of Fulton's consent
to meet Billy Miske, ridiculed because
he failed to top the smaller man in
ten rounds, and discussion over the
outcome, held the pugilistic stage to-
day
The fact that Fulton defeated Miske
counts for little m his reputation. The
bout will go down in the records as a
no-decision affair. bit remarks will
continue to be made about it. Fulton's
string of knockouts against heavier
men doesn't look bit good stacked up
against the fact that one of the small
lest men he ever fought was able to
take his hardest punches on the jaw
and come back for more. Miske is one
of the few men who have fought Full
ton more than Just a few rounds. 1t
has been long time since Fulton
waded through q ten round milling
with any scrapper.
Lots of credit must, therefore be
handed Miske.
Probably the first thing to come
about will be demand by Miske's
manager for a return bout with the
plasterer over longer route and with
a decision attached. Fulton is the
kind who grows better against an OPP
ponent every time he meets him.
Miske probably would have to take
harder beating next time
The match simply leads up to the
coming February fracas in New Or
leans between Fulton and Frank Mo-
ran, which bout promises to be one of
the most interesting since Moran en-
gagged in his historic battle with Jess
Willard

FULTON-MISkE
BOUT A DRAW
Would-be Champion Falls to Knock
Out Billy Miske in Ten
Round Bout-Crowd
With Miske.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 19.-Fred
Fulton's inability to get Billy Miske
.'set right and the latter's style OF
rushing to ciinches and holding on
made a draw of very unsatisfactory
ten-round bout between the two here
last night. The crowd, the largest
since boxing was legalized in Mime
sofa. was all with Miske.
Miske developed perfect defense
against Fulton's famous left and time
and again worked under the bigger
mans jabs to close quarters where
he hammered away at the Fulton
mid-section.
Miske exhibited no particular re-
specs for Fulton's superior size and
strength, and in the closing rounds
of the fight stood toe-to-toe and
slugged. He had at least an even
break in the heavier going.

! elmer son of MI. and Mrs. ]. F.
Ar9ast Of Nauvoo, died Friday morn
ing at 6 O'Clock, of stomach trouble.
He was born in Nauvoo. April 3, 1897
and was 25 years and Is days OF age
at the time of his death. The young
man was educated in the public and
high schools of this city. and In the
last several years was valued EN-
|ploye in the Taber Lumber company S
office in Basco, ILL.,, managing the
lbranch office and yards there until i'll
ness caused his retirement. He came
to Nauvoo a short time ago to recup-
crate. hut deaths cruel work claimed
this bright and popular young man
as its victim. While in Basco he was
married to Miss Sairy Manussier, and
one child, a boy about fourteen
months old, and its mother survive
him. His parents, one brother and
sister. besides numerous relatives are
left to mourn his death in the bloom
of young manhood. 1t is indeed a
sad blow to his parents, the young
wife and mother to lose by death one
of the most popular and pleasant
Young men Nauvoo ever reared. Ell
mer had. a serious time with illness
ever since he reached his majority,
| having undergone two operations for
ailments with the prospect of receiv-
| ing relief but to no avail. The funeral
| took place from his parents home in
Nanyoo Saturday morning at II
O'Clock and the remains We're taken
| TO Rasco. ILL.,, the wife's home, where
services were again held. with Rev.
Frank Marston officiating at both
places. Burial was made in the Bas-
CO cemetery.
A Young fellow from Montrose
came to Nauvoo last Thursday on the
/ ice bridge, to take in the sights OF
this grand old burg and while here
visited the liquid stands of which
there are only half dozen in opera
ton, and while making the rounds
imbibed too freely of the goods that
was red Towards evening he pur-
chased several loaves of bread and
started on his return trip by the foot
path route His feet become wobbly
and refused to track we'll and a
drowsy feeling overcame him. He
was discovered lying by the wayside
down in the first ward, just in time
to keep him from freezing stiff A
first ward citizen took him home and
cared for him until he was able to
navigate to his Montrose home.
While some Narcotics were going
from this city to Eft. Madison, the
first part OF the week on the ice. they
saw an animal ahead OF them carrying
something In its mouth. 1t was max
ing tracks seemingly for the timbers
on the Kimball possessions, north Of
Nauvoo. They got within about thir
ty yards Of the animal when they dis
covered 1t to be a wolf and 1t had
dropped the object it had in it's
mouth which was found to be large
rabbit. This would have been a
splendid opportunity for the Appa-
moose township wolf club members to
have gotten hounds and started on a
wolf chase with the real object at
the end of the run.
The cold breeze Nauyoo mas had for
several days did this old town con-
siderable good. 1t brought us solid

and political duties

and political duties.
Prior to his first election to Par.
| Lament from New Ross, ireland
Redmond was for some time a clerk
in the Vote Office of the House of
Commons. From 1885 to 1891 he
represented North Wexford but in
1891 he was elected from Waterford.
and has been returned from that dis
trict since, generally without oppo.
sition.
Headed ParnelIites.
Redmond's eloquence and his grasp
of parliamentary procedure won his
early recognition in Parliament and
when in 1891 the Irish party was
disrupted, consequent on the Parnell
scandals, he became the accredited
leader of the Panellites. In 1900 he
succeeded'in bringing about an ANAL
gamation of the two leading nation
alist parties and made his position
as nationalist leader, secure.
Redmond was we'll known in the
United States, which he visited in
1908 and 1910, and Australia, where
a'' 1888 he not only performed
great service for his party in direct
ing the collection of fund of more
than $4,000, but found wife in the
person of Johanna Dalton, New
South Wales heiress and beauty.
Backed Government in War.
With the entrance of England into
the war, Redmond Immediately de.
fined his position as squarely with the
government in the earnest prosecu-
ton of the war His support of the
government won the unstintsd praise
of Cardinal Gibbons and the open and
bitter condemnation of the Sim Fem
PARTY, members of which at public
meeting accused him of being a
traitor to the Irish cause.
