TO the local authorities that man lay
sick at Kelso and that he was ia a
terrible condition. An Immediate
investigation was made and IL was
found that the mans condition was
not half described-it was abomin.

man OF Iron Mountain TO watch the
property at Kelso Mr.. Bjorlman
claims that he was told the man was
III and Immediately sent two young
men to the place 10 care for him.
The young men, so he says, came
back in a short time and reported the
man in good condition, SO that Mr.
Bjorkman knew nothing OF his con-
dition until the authorities were CALI
ed In.
Marshal Broad Judge Roberts, w.
G. Eldred and others went to the
place. They found the man lying In
a bed OF filth and so far gone that he
was unable to talk. They cleaned
him up as best they could and started
him for the hospital via train but he
died on the way here from weakness.
II seems that he had neither food nor

John Shemky Has No Offer or Match
With Anyone so Far

John Shemky authorizes us TO say
that the reports publised in another
paper to the effect that he has been
matched with an Iron River man for
Labor Day and with Perkins on some
other date is rot Shemky hasn't
matched with anyone and he never
heard OF the Iron River man.
He was asked II he would fight Per-
kins at Iron Mountain but the matter
went no further than a suggestion.
John is not real well, in fact he hasn't
been real well since receiving the
foul blow at Ishpeming. lie fought
the fight with Perkins on Pikers' day
TO keep his word and considering his
condition al the time he fought a
great fight. Perkins had made the
statement. so tits said, that If he did
mt knock Shemky out I'm four rounds
he didn't want any money. He had
all he could do 70 stand against the
local lad for ten rounds and II Jack
had been in his usual physical con-
dition Mr.. Perkins would have hit
the mat.
John says that he's going TO recup-
crate before taking on any more bouts
for he values the word Of the fight
fan "he did we'll" more than knock
outs. II is probable that Shemky will
be in condition and will fight on Lab
or Day but there is absolutely no
truth 70 the statements that he has
| fights booked.
