KNOCKOUT IN THIRD
The Army and Navy Civilian Board of Boxing Control Issues Statement Regarding End of Big Bout.

New York, July 15.-The army. navy and civilian board of boxing con- trol, in an official statement issued last night announced that only AZ sec onds of the rest period had elapsed in the Dempsey Willard bout when Willard's seconds tossed a towel into the ring as a token of defeat. The board also decided that the bout at Toledo on July 4 ended in the third round. These decisions were made as a result of numerous inquiries receiv- ed from all parts of the country. The statement, which was signed by Adam Empie, secretary of the board, was in reiteration of the one given out sev- eral days ago and follows:
 "A report having been widely cir culated that w. Warren Barbour, tim ekeeper appointed by this board for the Willard-Dempsey contest, had written to MT. Pecord, the referee, stating that the interval of one min ute between the third and fourth rounds had expired before Willard S seconds threw 8 towel into the ring. l beg to state that MT. Barbour has written me no such letter and further that the statement reported to be con- tained in the alleged letter is contrary to the fact, as only 47 seconds had eX- pired in the interval referred to when the signal of defeat was given by 'WilIard's S seconds.
 "The board is in no way concerned with Wagers that have been made on the contest, but as a number of in uuiries have been received, it has con- sidered the question of when the con- test terminated in all it's bearings and the board has decided that it should be regarded as having ended in the third round"

HIGH PRICE FOR JOCKEY
$. (. HiItlrcth Pays S15,O0O to Stewart Polk for Contract Papers on Law renee FatOr.
renee FatOr.

New York. July 1o.-J ockeys as well as thoroughbreds are bringing high prices these days. Yesterday afternoon at the Empire City track $. C. Hildreth paid $15,0O0 to Stewart Polk for the contract papers on Law renee FatOr. the little lad who has been causing a sensation by his great riding on the local tracks this sea- son.
 Fator is only IS years old and weighs less than 100 pounds, but he can do more with a big, heavy head ed horse than most heavy weight jockeys. He learned how to ride on a ranch in Idaho, where he was brought up with the widest kind of horses. His skill and daring were known to all ranchmen in the state several years ago, but it did not spread to other parts until last fall. Then MT. Polk, whose home is in Illinois, heard about the little dare devil and invited him to Cuba. There the lad made a great record riding the thoroughbreds at Oriental park last winter, and Nr. Polk signed him for three years at the large and munerative sum of S30 a month and board.
 After the Cuban meeting he came North and quickly earned the admi- ration of the local horsemen. He hasn't ridden as many winners as some of the other jockeys, but that has been because he rode inferior horses" lie didn't pick his mounts. lie was moitious to ride, and he dis played his pest wares whether his mount had a chance of victory or not, and half dozen times he won with inferior mounts because the oth
 CT riders held hin too cheaply and made mistakes
 The lad has g wonaerful seat, an excellent pair of hands s72d is a rare good judge of pace. He knows inc shortest way home ana has an abundance of nerve and latiencc

SHEEP BREEDERS
OF VAN BUREN,
Wool Growers Of County Hold Inter
esting Meeting Which was
Attended by Large
Numbers.

BONAPARTE, Feb. 1s.-At meet
ing of the sheep breeders and wool
growers of Van Buren, county, which
was held in Keosauqua last Wednes-
day afternoon, and was largely at
tended, the Van Buren, Fleece Wool
Growers association was formed and
officers were elected. A. J. Secor,
county agent, was chairman of the
meeting, and Finn Elliott, farm
bureau secretary, was secretary. The
objects of the proposed organization
were explained at length by MI
Secor. by v. G. Davis, county agent
of Davis county, and R. A. Satterly,
president of the Lee county associa-
ton. The primary object OF the or
SANITATION Is to improve the condi-
lions attendant on the marketing OF
wool and thus enable the producer
to get better and more equitable
price for their products. The method
used is to organize each state by
counties, the state association being
incorporated, and then pool the pro-
duce of wool. BY this means 1t would
be possible to compel the wool buy
ers and handlers to come to Van
Buren, county to buy the graded wool
and pay the prices the various grades
should demand 1t was shown that
in Ohio last year, where the grow
ers were organized and co-operated,
the wool growers received as an
average eight cents more per pound
for the same grades than was re-
ceived here in Iowa. After a full
discussion, it was decided to organ
ize and become a part of the state
association. The following officers
were elected:
President, John A. Craig of Van
Buren, township; vice president, Ezra
Williams; secretary-treasurer. A. j.
Secor.
Directors-Van Buren, township, J.
y. Beggs: Village, Will Michael; Lick
