John l. johnson. well known man of
Company A, 31s Machine Gun Battal-
ion.
John T. johnson started from the
camp on the 9Th of July for Augusta;
he left the camp with % cents. expect
ing a good time Of course On his
arrival in Augusta he felt for his coll
lar ornaments and they were gone so
the next thing was TO dodge the proves
and get to Il military store When he
got there he asked the clerk the price
of the buttons and he said % cents,
Johnson told the clerk he didn't have
but 20 cents, and went on TO tell him
his troubles; so the clerk said II that
was the case he would give him cents
on the buttons. After Johnson got his
buttons he knew they wouldn't credit
him on the street car. SO he Just hiked
back to the camp.

BOB F%lTzsIMMoNs DIED POOR
Estimated He Made s25o,ooo in Ring,
Besides $4,000 He Received From
Moving Pictures.

Improvidence seems TO be the rule
among boxers, most Of whom will not
lay aside something for II rainy day.
When Bob Fitzslmmons died recently
he left nothing In money or property.
Yet he earned n fortune IN the ring.
He settled a house and many thou.
sands Of dollars ON his second wife,
Rose Julian, and her children. He re-
ceived $4,000 from his two battles with
Maher, $1,000 from his bout with Hall,
about $4,000 from his scrap with Cor
bett at Carson city, sG,S0O for whip
ping Dan Creedon, $1,000 for two
bouts with Tom Sharkey, 10000 for
two battles with Jenfrics, $4,000 for
the contest with Gus Rubin and many
thousands more for other ring exhibit
lions.
In nh II IL estimated that Fitz made
s250,OOO In the ring, besides which he
received about $4,000 from moving
pictures Of his fights. He made many
unwlse investments and was a mark
for adventures and bunco men, be-
sides which his generosity was re-
spOnsible for further scattering the
thousands he had accumulated.
