SpedaIlo tie Ne1gs.
find myself trying to get a few
dots together to send to to the
News, to let the world know that
Texas is still in the land of the
living, and doing all we can to
stay on top.
We have a few bank and store
robberies here in Texas and Ok
lahoma. Last Sunday morning
about 3 O'Clock a policeman on
his beat discovered some rob-
bers in one of our largest dry
goods stores. The policeman
acted the police judgement, and
turned his flash light on the
burglars and sounded the alarm,
at the same time revealing his
whereabouts. The burglar fired
at him and wounded the cop, and
then left the job unfinished and
made his getaway. If the cop
had used a little common sense,
instead of police judgement when
he discovered them, and went
and got help and surrounded the
place, he might havegot them as
they came out and prevented a
getaway. But such is life in
Texas
Since the rain a few days ago
it is little cooler. The nights
are cool. One needs to cover up
to keep warm in the latter part
of the night. or early in the
morning.

the largest sweet potatoes | ever

looked fine, and the owner ex-
poets to get 200 or $50 bushels to
the acre. They are selling on
the market at &c per 10. He
should get $3.50 per acre. 1t is a
paying crop. This has been an
excellent season for potatoes.
Cotton keeps the farmers

There is fine melon crop and
they are selling high. The
cheapest melons on the market
are 25c-from 25c to $3.50 is
about the standard price.

One can always learn something,

me that someone high up has
sold out at the expense of the
members. That change in rates
will be worth billions of dollars to
the Old Line Co., but will be the
death blow to fraternal orders all

heavyweight championship contest
here July 4 whether there is clear
sky or a driving rainstorm. Tex
Richard, promoter of the contest,
made this announcement tonight in
denying reports that the contest
might be postponed until the next
day because of inclement weather.
1t became known today that Will
lard is after Clay Turner, the Indian
light-heavyweight; Harry Greb of
Pittsburgh and BARLEY Madden, an
other light-heavy, to work with him.
1t is contended that the champion
has boxed with the sparring mates
already in camp so often that he
knows all their moves and that this
is harmful in his preparation for a
gruelling contest
johnny Kilbane, the featherweight
champion, started lively argument
today on the advisability of training
in the sun for contest to be fought

for five 20-round contests in the

Denny Ryan, athletic director OF
the Knights of Columbus of Fort
Omaha, refereed the wrestling
match and all the boxing prelimin-
aries. Jack Lewis refereed the main
event, He appeared somewhat ex-
cited and often called to the men to
break when they were not cllnched,
but there was no serious trouble
with the work until he rendered The
decision against Williams. He was
roundly Kissed for this verdict, but
since Lee declared that he was un-
able to continue, he had no other
recourse than to declare in his favor
unless he had ordered Lee to box
or forfeit the match, as was de-
clared he should have done.

Crowd Disappointed.
A badly disappointed crowd left
the arena after Referee Jack Lewis
declared the ex-soldier the winner
on a foul after the doctor made his
statement. During the bout Will
Jams out-classed Lee from the be-
ginning. The first round was fairly
even, but Williams showed the bet
ter class and it was freely predicted
that he would win within another
four rounds.
During the arguments following
the claim of foul, Lee acted far from
the gentleman he was touted to be,
both Williams and his sec
onds. He will be advised by his
close friends to forsake the ring
game following his exhibition last
night. Williams showed conclusive
" that he has all the ear-marks of
