]. H. OLDHAM HAS
BUSINESS PARTNER

With the view to improving his
store, which will be enlarged, as well
as the remodeling of the front and
extending his business generally, J.
H. Oldham has disposed of an interest
in his harware and farm implement
store on Main street to Mr.. Ora Hack
EFT, of this city. The invoice, how
ever, will not take place until later.
1t is the intention to have this COM
pleted as we'll as the store and build
ing improvements by the first of the
year, at which time the new firm will
branch out in additional lines. The
shelving will be extended to the CELL
ing and an attractive front to the
building will be among the changes
made.
Mr.. Oldham stated that he was
unable to attend to the business as
it was, and was desiriOus of chang
ing his building, as well as his store,
and believes that with business part
ner there will be an extension all
around. This will add another to the
already large list of Main street bus

DEMPSEY and MISKE
IN GOOD CONDITION
CIV Associated Pressl

Benton Harbor, Mich, Sept. G.
Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion
of the world, today staked the crown
he won from Jess Willard Ii months
ago at Toledo on his hard hitting
prowess in a 10-round n6-decision
bout with Billy Miske, the st. Paul
claimant, of the premier fistic honor.
Dempsey was guaranteed minimum
of $4,000. Dempsey was the favor
ite, but with every prospect of a hard
fight Dempsey was apparently in
perfect condition. Miske was like
wise in excellent form.
With no decision to be rendered be-
cause of Michigan laws which pro
hibit it, the worlds heavyweight title
can change hands today only if Miske
should score a knockout or Dempsey
be DISQUALIFIED for violations of rules
governing the fight schedules. They
vii lstarte at $3.50, Central time.

MANS LEG And FOOT

But They Are Of Wood end Cob
bier Is Making New Cne For
Young Mount Pursival

Dr.. o. F. Hume had surgical
case Friday that puzzled him for
time, being mans foot and ankle that
had been shot to pieces, but he soon
figured out how to have it fixed, and
took it to a cobbler's shop where there
is a duplicate being made for the
pedal extremity. The owner of the
foot was pleased. He was impatient,
for he could not walk until he got his
"other piece" back, as he called it.
The foot and ankle were of wood, and
was shot to pieces by Thomas Alcorn
some time ago while being worn by
his brother-in-Iaw, Mount Pursival,
near their homes at Big Hill.
One load of buckshot from Alcorn's
shotgun during gun battle in front
of his home riddled the wooden foot
and leg of young PursivaI, and the
latter was unable to navigate. He
could not have reached home, any
how, for AlcOrn is said to have shot
again. this time aiming higher, with
the result that he filled the left side
and shoulder as well as the left arm
of PursivaI with lead. TIE boy was
taken to the Berea hospital, where
some Of the shot were removed. He
later came 20 the local hospital,
where he has been receiving the best
of care since. A reaper machine took
off his original foot and part of his
leg, and he managed to replace this
with a wooden one, and when this one
was shot Off he was in a bad plight.
Alcorn is out on bond and Pursi-
val is in, bed until his foot and leg
are ready for him. He was just get
ting able to leave the hospital when
it was found his leg had been shot
away, and a new one was necessary.
He was carried in and out of the court
room by friends at the preliminary
hearing OF Alcoln Friday morning.

Firemen Carry Out Prom

Engineers and firemen in buildings
whose owners have refused the de-
mands Of the international Union of
Steam and Operating Engineers and
the international Brotherhood of Sta
tionary Firemen will go on strike Mon
day, according to an announcement
made yesterday by Timothy J. Healy,
president of the tiremen's union.
Mr.. Healy said the refusal of the
Hotel Mems Association and the Real
Estate Mems Association to increase
wages has caused the taking of strike
vote which was 100 per cent affirmative.
Five thousand engineers and firemen
viii go on strike, he asserted, and
hotels, clubs, apartment houses and
office buildings would be affected.
We will try to prevent all inconveni-
encc possible at the hospitals" said
Mr.. Healy, "but we have decided to take
action in the case of the hospitals as
with all other buildings where our de-
mands were refused, because of the
fact that fremen and engineers at
hospitals get even lower pay than in
many other buildings"
Engineers in apartment houses,
hotels, clubs and office buildings pct
from S25 to s37 week; fremen get
from $50 to $50. The unions demand
80 per cent wage increase, an eight
hour day. siX-day week and union
recognition. Cold and darkness is their
sentence on all property owners who
refuse them.

Dublin Elects Three
Sim Fein COmmoners
Reports From Rural Districts
Show Party Aspirants Got
Preponderance of Votes


DUBLIN, Jan. 16.-Preliminary re-
turns in the municipal elections in
Dublin show successes for the Sim
Fein candidates. Three Sim Fein
Commoners were elected on the first
count, including Alderman Tom Kelly
now in prison in London, who botained
more than three times the necessary
vote.
Lord Mayor O'Neill, whose term ex-
pired, although running as an indepen-
dent candidate, scored a record poll,
due to the fact, it was said, that he
supported Sim Fein candidates in
other sections.
Results from the country districts
of Ireland indicate the preponderance
of the vote went to the Sim Fein
aspirants, and it is considered certain
that the party, together with Labor,
will have considerable majority out
side Of Ulster.
Contests in Ulster between Unionists
and Nationalists were close in all sec
tions. These parties united to oppose
the Sim Feiners, several of whom
were elected despite efforts to defeat
them.

Alvin B. Barber, of the Engineer Corps
has been lent to direct Polish national

"In my Judgment" Mr.. Baker added
"as long as the Polish government, a
new nation, set up by the conference
in Paris, is occupying defensive po-
sition assigned to it, and is living up
to the convention by which it came into
existence, it is entirely proper for a
nation responsible for it's existence to
lend it all possible aid
II should personally have no objec-
ton to the participation Of the United
States in aid to Poland as long as
Poland continues to preserve the from
tiers and the obligations incurred in
the creation of the new Poland"
