According to his statements the sue
cess which he attaches to the cam

he declares is held by merchants in
vices brought to him by citizens who
know of stocks of sugar held within
the city. He stated that in his belief
that there would be enough sugar on
sale within the next few days to sup
ply the wants of all.
Many merchants here were found to
have supplies Of sugar on hand when
the police investigated their stocks
Small merchants are. said to be the
only ones who have been completely

 'Refereeing in the old days was mucl. different proposition than it is very much different" re- lated Jack Sheehan of Boston, one of the real veterans of the third man division of the ring game.

 Flight night was the coldest one I ever lived through. I didn't have a thermometer with me, but know 1t was at least 20 below. Yet those boys insisted upon battling in an old barn on a deserted farm some miles outside of Boston.
 ''The only illumination was candles and a lantern. To make the most of our light, some of the boys brought along sheets of tinplate which were placed pack of the candles, acting as reflectors The fellow who held the lantern also had some plate-but ne W as q DlI lOul III HIS uSe ol u. AiO was a Snee rooter and every time that the other fellow faced the light this Snee enthusiast would twist the sheet of tin so that the light was thrown into Ashburn's eyes
 '"The glare didn't help Ashburn any. I can tell you. and he protested to me about it, but there was nothing in the rules that barred spectator from try ing to blind fighter, unless he climbed into the ring to do it.
 The boys were blue with cold whan that battle began-and so were the 100 spectators. The boys got warmed up a little by their exertions but the rest of us shivered and became stiffer and ever stiffer.
 The fight had gone along for a few rounds when I noticed that ln- stead of great cheering from the crowd a silence had come. I tried to figure out the reason for it but couldn't until I heard voices outside. Ther I knew that the dear old officers of the law had found out about ls and were ready to make arrests.
 q heard big log go crashing against the door-a battering ram. In one leap I was alongside the door. A second later the door crashed in, and jumped out through the opening al- most into the waiting arms of sew eral deputy sheriffs. They made a grab for me, but I eluded them, ard then I started on my way. I ran ex- actly nine miles in nine minutes in my getaway

The records are wrong I made nine miles in five minutes that night and the two cops who brought up the rear were only about four seconds back of me all the way.
 "I thought it was all over when I got back to Boston-but I. thought wrong. Two days later, while I was at work in a newspaper shop where I did reporting, big fellow came fn, walked over to me and introduced himself as the sheriff of the counsy where the fight had been staged
 " I'm looking for a Jack Sheehan,' he said. I have a warrant for his arr rest. Can you tip me off as to where can nab him?'
 You're looking for Jack and he's look ing for you. He's been in here four times today looking for you. He's car- ryins around two of the biggest guns ever saw and he swears that he's going to get you with one or ths other'
