hearted support of the league. By af-

Speaking to the men last evening, Mr..
Woodcock said in part:
Notwithstanding the fact that lit
tie or no encouragement from the bus

has been received these men have
gone steadily forward in their unset
fish desire to train themselves so that
| in event of urgent necessity they
would be be prepared to protect their
homes and the homes of every Moline
citizen from threatened danger.
THE people of Moline should be and
are proud of this body of self-sacri-
ficing workers. They will be more
proud of them when they learn that at
the request of Lieutenant Governor
Oglesby you have voluntarily decided
to merge yourselves with the state
militia"

heard of his circumstances. Many
wrote him for financial help and never
refused, whether Sullivan knew the
writer or not. That was where most
of his money went. He easily earned
100000 during the high tide of his
popularity as champion, and added
another similar amount after he had
been defeated.
When Sullivan finally agreed 10
meet Kilrain he went into training
with great yigor. He realized that he
had reached time when only appli-
cation of the hardest sort would save
him from defeat, and he attempted to
efface some of the results of his alec
hol addiction.
This battle with Kilrain came very
near going down in history as a near
pugilistic encounter, for the law was
beginning to frown more and more
heavily on sport so brutal as fight
ing in the days of the London prize
ring rules. 1t was with considerable
difficulty that the fighters and pro-
motors of the bout finally found a
place, where they could slip away and
be free from interference

lowers who assembled at New Orleans
before the bout didn't know where
they were going even when they
clambered aboard trains and started
for the scene of the mill. The ride
was long and hard, over the Queen
and Crescent railway, between rows of
state militia who had been turned out
in Louisiana to guard against any
possibility of the bouts being staged
in the state.
The spectators, fighters, and others
connected with the bout were turned
out at Richburg, Miss, where the most
famous of all John L. Sullivan's bouts
was fought.

the Chantilly scrap A big reception
was arranged for the Englishman
when he should reach England, but
these things were reckoned without
the consequences.
The fighters had scarcely left the

And, as they attempted to cross the

under arrest. One of the Sullivan
party attempted to escape from the
gendarmes, but was halted when two
blank cartridges were fired. The cap

they were thrown into prison, but not
so with Sullivan. He was glum and
depressed. The fact that he had not
been able to win weighed him down
immensely for the first few hours of
his imprisonment. AS time wore on,
however, he forgot it, and before time
came for the men to be arraigned he
had made friends with Mitchell.
The two fighters were placed in the
same cell, where they drank from the
same bottle. They ate together and

Mitchell proposed that the mill be
finished at once. for he said he was
sure he could win from Sullivan. Pre-
