Joe Lynch Is Peeved
At Champion Herman
And Bantam al Moore

New York, Oct. 25.-Joe Lynch,
the bantamweight of the west side
of this city, who gave Jimmy Wilde
such a battle in England a short
time ago. has a double grievance.
Joe is neeved at Pete Herman. the
bantamweight title holder, and at
Pal Moore of Memphis, one Of the
leading contenders for the title.
Lynch fought Herman on Labor
day in Waterbury, Conn, in a linz
tied round, no-decision bout. Ac-
counts agree that he had the better
of the champion, but, of course, no
decision was rendered.
Joe SAYS he was promised meet
ing with Pal Moore to a decision
this month, and that the winner was
10 have been matched with Herman
for a 20-r ound bout at New Orleans
on Thanksgiving day. Now, how
ever, the news has been given out
that Herman and Moore will meet
On turkey day, and Lynch has been
ignored entirely.
There rlay be some difference Of
opinion as to whether Moore or
Lynch is the better bantamweight.
Both are unquestionably contenders
for the Championship.
There is only one way to settle
this question, however, and that is
by decision fight between them.
Lynch is apparently anxious for
such a battle.

had become, he surmised that Sarah
was alone and became vehement in
his request for entrance. Finally he
jerked the door open, breaking the
hook.
By this time Sarah was really
frightened and she made haste to
hand over her treasure-her prec-
ious 81. The tramp was explaining
something about his wife having de-
serted him and his having a family
over at Garner, but Sarah didn't
care about that and didn't pay much
attention to it; she wanted only to
get rid of the fellow.
After he got the money he left.
A few minutes later she saw the boy
about the place and she told him
about the episode. With true man.
nish superiority he laughed at her
for being so easy" She did feel
foolish, ard resolved not to tell any
one else about it. When the family
came back she was tempted to talk
of it, but was afraid they, too, would
laugh at her, and so she kept her
loss a secret.
She missed the things she had
been planning to get with the 81,
but endured that with Spartan re-
solve.
The next day she saw the man
who lived on the adjoining place.
He joked her about the company"
she had the day before, and told
her the fellow must have taken
liking to her as he had inquired the
name of the nice young girl who
works at yonder place." This she
resented, too, as she didn't want to
disclose her loss of the money.
Well, that's the end of that part
of the story. During the interven-
ing nine years she thought of it
but seldom. She has seen other
tramps since, but she never has lost
any money to them.
Works at Usage Store.
Since then her family has moved
into Usage, and she has worked at
different places in town, like any
number of other girls whose people
have moved in from their farms. A
few weeks ago she accepted a posi-
ton as saleswoman at the Bert A.
Day dry goods store, and she will
always think of that new job in con-
nection with her sudden and marvel
Gus good fortune.
1t was the second day after she
had gone to work there that she
was visited by strange man, who
introduced himself as Mr.. Mann,
an attorney from Melesa, MINI. He
told her that for several months he
had been looking for Sarah Lind
ley, Iowa. to notify her of be-
quest of $65,000 which had been
left her by tramp, John Brunsvik,
who had died about Is months be-
fore at Stewartville. MINI.
Now, what would you think if
you were notified by strange gen
tleman that tramp had left you
$650O0?
Yes. That's just what Miss
Lindley thought, too, and she told
the fellow straight out she wasn't
to be "kidded" that way by
strangers. Mr.. Mann insisted, but
made no impression, and finally
went away.
He told her how he happened to
find her, but she thought he was just
"stringing" her some more. He had
said that one day E. F. Moody, a
banker of Nora Springs, had CHANGED

Has she a beau? OF course she

ing service in France and isn't home
yet. He doesn't knoW anything
about Sarah's prospects. It's Sarah
that he has been thinking of during
the long. dreary, waiting months.
What's she going to do with so
much money? Well, we don't know,
but we'll venture to predict that il
will BE- sensibly handled. Oh yes,
maybe she'll buy car; but then she
isn't picking it out yet. She's sim

Many Want Slice.
Naturally lots OF funny things are
happening in connection with the
thing. She received Is letters last
week from various persons asking
for slice of her good luck.
One man writes that he gave this
same tramp SIS once, and now he
would ike $1,000 to pay off the
mortgage on his farm.
A woman writes that she has
spent quite a sum of money and she
is fearful that her husband will find
it out. She asks Sarah, as one wo-

bonds of the feminine sisterhood,
to help her out of her difficulty.

ny SPeShuA SoAhoopo"
Usage, Ia, Oct. 25.-This story,
except for names and dates, is an
old one. You have read it in your
childhood and you have seen it en-
acted at the movies-it's tale that
never tires. But this story has this
difference-it's true. ....
If you don't believe it, there are
certain legal papers in the archives
of Attorney Mann's law office at
Melesa, Mimi, and sundry other
letters and papers here at Usage, Ia,
carefully treasured in a bewildered
country girls room. And then
there's the money-$65,000 Of ton
deposit in a bank at Melissa.
Really Two Stories.
There are really two stories to it.
The time and scene of the first one
were nine years ago last summer at
a farm home down near Nora
Springs, Ia, about 80 miles south OF
the Minnesota-Iowa state line, about
due south of Austin.
The time of the second one covers
the period from the death of tramp
at Stewartville, Mimi, year and a
half ago, up until the present time.
The first story doesn't amount to
much. and is no more than thou
sands of country girls might tell but
the second part is real romance
what thousands of country girls who
attend the movies have wished they
might tell. ..-.
Nine years ago last summer Sarah
Lindley was 10 years old. (Yes, it's
easy to compute her age.) She lived
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Ole
Lindley, on a typical Mississippi val
ley farm a few miles west of Usage.
1t was vacation time and she had
been privileged to go over to the
home of her uncle, G. 0. Lunde, a
couple of miles from Nora Springs,
for a vacation visit Of a few days.
She had in money the sum of 81.

1t was the day after her arrival
and she hadn't had occasion to spend
any part of her money yet; it was
still intact. She was alone at the
farm place, except for a young boy
who was choring somewhere around
the premises, as the family had
gone to Nora Springs on shop
ping expedition.
Suddenly she had a visitor, one OF

screen door and denied him. Tramps
are not popular with farmer folk,
and the men vigorously instruct their

for women folk to do was to shut
the door and bid such visitors be-

The only bequest that seemed a!

$65,0O0 was on deposit in a bank at

At first nothing was done about
it, but along toward the end of a

decided something had to be done
with the affair, and they began to

vertisement and thought of Miss
Lindley, but, as i. was no concern

A provision of the will was that
the bequest should not be paid un-

and the money obtained for the girl
at once.
There the story rests at present.
OF course, Miss Lindley had become
famous. The local lawyer has apollo
gized for his rather uninterested at

to him. Everybody wants to talk
with her about it, and the poor girl
finds it hard to stick faithfully to
