OLD BOXER DIES ON FIELD
Dick Rurge, Once Well Known in This
Country Met His Death Fight
Ing In France.

Late Private Richard Burge of the
First Surrey rifles never was a quit
ter, and, despite the fact that he was
at the half century mark, he enlisted
and died the death Of q soldier. He
was once the lightweight champion of
England, and was born December
10, 1855.
Dick Burge was name we'll known
to the fight fans on both sides Of the
Atlantic 20 years or so ago, chiefly
because Of his remarkable battle with
Kid Lavigne for the lightweight cham
pionship of the world. Dick was sew
eral inches taller than the Saginaw
Kid, and he had considerable adj
vantage in weight, but, much to his
surprise and that of the English fans,
he was knocked out in the seventeenth
round. He gave good account of
himself before he fell, however, and
there were times when the Kid had
reason 10 fear that he had taken on
toe good man. After Burge quit the
ring he became fight promoter. That
was in 1900. He enlisted as volun-
teer in the British army In 1915 and
served with the colors for three years.

MRS. ROBERT KICKBUSCH

Mrs. Robert Kickbusch, who had
been in ill health for the past two
years, passed away at her home,
202 Franklin street. in this city,
at o'clock Sunday morning, April
18th, 1919. The illness to which she
snccumbed was anemia. The tender
devotion and solicitude of her imme-
date family and of her intimate
friends, and their untiring efforts to
stay the progress of the disease,
were in vain. At times, hopes were
held out for her recovery; changes
of climate we're frequent and no
doubt, prolonged her life. The fam
lily had only recently returned from
Florida, where the winter had been
spent and all were happy in the
thought that there was an improve
ment in her condition. The end
came Unexpectedly and she met it
with that cheerfulness and fortitude
which had been so characteristic of
her life. Mrs. Kickbusch had spent
the most of her existence in Wau-
sau and her noble traits of head and
heart had made her widely known
and endeared in the community.
Mrs. Kickbusch was born in Prai-
RE du Sac, Wisconsin, on the LIST of
October, 1862. She came to Wau-
sau with her parents, the late Mr..
Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Frenzel, when
a young girl. She grew to woman
hood and received her education in
our Wausau schools and was united
in marriage to Robert Kickbusch
on the 18th day of December, 1883.
Previous to her illness, she was
active in church and charitable
work and her energies could always
be counted upon in matters which
were for the assistance and uplift
of humanity.
She was a most esteemed member
of the M. E. Church of this city
and a recognized leader in all of its
enterprises.
She is survived by her husband,
one son, August Kickbusch and one
daughter, Miss Nina Kickbusch, all
of this city; three brothers, Charles
Frenzel of this city and Herman and
Edwin Frenzel of Milwaukee; also
four sisters, Mrs. Frank Young, Mrs.
Fred Fackler, Mrs. G. Berkholder
and. Mrs. j. H. Pomeroy, all of Wau-
sau.
The funeral services will be held
from the home on Wednesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, and will be con-
Quoted by the Rev. Richard Evans,
pastor of the First M. E. Church of
this city.

FAMOUS DOGS LONG KNOWN
Breed of st. Bernard Have Been Re-
nowned fer Centuries for Their
Special Work.

The st. Bernard pass is Of historical
renown. 1t connects the valleys of
the Rhone and the Dora Baltea. 1t
was traversed by Roman legions thou
sands Of years ago. In medieval
times the pass served the armies of
conquerors and the bands of meree-
naries. Napoleon crossed the Alps at
this point in 1900.
The great monastery was built in
the middle of the sixteenth century.
1t was maintained for the relief of
travellers who were surprised by snow
storms while crossing the pass. The
ST. Bernard dogs were used to find the
frozen victims of the storms in the
snowdrifts. They were specially
trained for this work OF relief and
carried the first aid 10 the injured in
little basket attached TO their col
lars. These dogs rescued thousands
CT human beings, many Of whom were
OF historic prominence. And for the
first time in the history Of this famous
monastery the dogs, during the war,

TIBET OPEN TO CHRISTIANS
Officials Have Invited Missionaries to
Enter Freely Into the "Fcr-
hidden Land"

Those disciples of Christ who inter-
est themselves in foreign missions are
aroused over an invitation coming to
American disciples from Tibet, accord
ing to the Boston Evening Transcript.
This land, occupying the ''rOof of the
world" has heretofore been practical
ly closed to all foreigners. That it has
been so was due, so Tibet officials tell
American disciples, to the influence
Of China. Now Tibet has thrown off
Chinese control and one Of its first acts
is to appeal for Christian missionaries.
The disciples have a mission station
at Batang, one of the farthest west cit
les of China, nearly 5000 miles up the
Yangste river.
A venturesome American doctor,
sent out by the disciples, journeyed
Is days farther west, getting into I'll
bet and into a city wherein disease in
its W orst form, unattended and not I'M
derstood ravaged the people. The
doctor set up an impromptu clinic and
dispensary. The relief was so great
that one of the highest civic officials
in all Tibet begged him to stay, or if
he could not do so to return, build a
hospital and official Tibet would help
him.
Now the disciples argue that here is
a call they are not at liberty to ignore.
Their missionary society has acted to
this effect. An appeal has been made
for four families, two Of them ply
stefan families, to go. 1t is said there
are no hospitals, no churches, no
schools, no Christian agencies Of any
kind in that country of 100000 peo-
pie. American manufactured goods
are beginning to reach Tibet and
