Rawlins is rapidly winning for
herself the name of being Wyom'
ing's leading fight town. Always a
good city for the followers of the
squared ring, local interest in the
art of self defense has been greatly
heightened by the first class series
of boxing cards arranged recently
by the Rawlins Fire Department.
And the best bout of them all is
soon to conceive allude to no other
than the Commiskey = Shepherd
fracus to take place in the Rawlins
Opera House a week from tomorrow
night-Friday, April 27th.
Never before, in the history of the
city, has there been a head line
bout as attractive as the one ar
ranged for the 27th of this month.
Perhaps never again will local box
ing promoters be in a position to
offer inducements sufficient to
match the two best middleweights
OF the Rocky Mountain region
Tommy Commiskey and Ed. Shep-
herd.
Tommy Commiskey, the Denver
middleweight, has f h here
before and has a large number of
supporters in this city. He had as
his opponent here last October one
Jim Shirley, and he was easily win
ner of the decision owe hal well
known fighter. Later the two men
met again in Denver and Commiskey
administered the X. o. in the first
round. Probably n of the most
notable achievements accomplished
by the Denver middleweight was the
winning of a decision w Jimmy
Clabby. a top notcher in his division.
Here are some of the men
Tommy has taken on during his
career. g
Knocked out George Getman in
the second round; knocked out
Lyle Hull in the first round II
did the same thing to Babe Wolf and
Bill Mcfarland: knocked out Al
Clark in the second round; won
from Frank Gull in six rounds
knocked out Lee Harvery in the
second round; won from Jack Shir-
ley in six rounds: knocked out Jack
Theil in the End round: won from
Bob Mayfield in six rounds; knock
ed out Harry Reidle in five rounds;
won from Tommy Madison in six
rounds; fought a ten round draw
with Sailor Dan Barnes and after
wards won from that gentleman in
ten rounds: fought a draw with
Kerkins, the rugged Casper boxer.
but, according to the opinion of the
spectators, was easily a winner in
this bout.
But as good as is Commiskey's
record 1t Is easily equalled by his
next weeks opponent Ed. Shepherd.
Salt Lake City's champion of the
inter-mountain middleweights. Shep-
herds record we take from n vast
number of newspaper clippings aud
reads as follows:
Knocked out Willie Pflster in four
rounds and pulled the same stunt
with Jess Stringer in the first

rids the world of one of its
deadliest diseases. The dark and Sc
cretive bat with it's wings Of velvet

has found its decrease when science
protects and shelters the bat as the

Preparing a home for bats and

of DR.. Charles A. r. Campbell's dis

purpose of Kidding the city of the

1t requires ten to fourteen days
for the malarial parasite to Develop

insect has been infected. With mil
lions of bats flying about each night
in search OF just such important
atoms as mosquitoes there Is little
chance that a mosquito lives ten
days after it is old enough to f1v
abroad at night.
After the success of this campaign
against malaria bat roosts were es-
tablished in the southwest outskirts
of San Antonio. This was SO success
full in Kidding that portion of the city
of mosquitoes that the State erected
another at the Southwestern Insane
Asylum in San Antonio. Another
was erected at the West Texas Mill
tary Academy in Alamo Heights.
The residents of the Heights took up
a collection among themselves to put
this roost up. Summer homes and

The malarial disease destroys al
most as much life annually as does
tuberculosis and cancer, according
to vital statistics. It is found every
where that the malarial mosquito
lives and the malarial mosquito lives
in every country in the world that
has warm season, including even
Alaska. In tropical countries the
lives Of the natives are actually
shortened by the existence Of infected
inalarial mosquitoes, and they are
chiefly responsible for the fact that
foreigners often lose their lives in
Central Africa and other hot cli-
mates. The service to humanity
and the protection Of property madc
possible by Or. Campbell's research
is Of inestimaolo value, according to
physicians and scientists who have
observed the efficacy Of tho bat roost.

A Bat Cemetery.

Another odd thing about bats Is
that they deposit their dead in hat
cemeteries Heaps OF bones found
in caves inhabited by bats and in
roosts prove that the bats had
feeling for order and sanitation.
The remarkable value of bats IS
a health service was demonstrated
in San Antonio when the malaria
infested swamp region around Lake
Mitchell where there was abundant
grazing for cattle was experimental
on. 1t has been said that formerly
It was impossible to build fences
around this land bordering the lake
strong enough to hold the cattle.
The myriads of mosquitoes were not
only dangerous on account Of their
germ carrying pr ansities, they
we're, too, painful zen for beasts
having shoe leather hides to endure.
DR.. Campbell erected bat roost on
a rise in the neighborhood of the
lake and in a year the place vas
cleared of mosquitoes, and millions
of bats had taken their places, The
grazing land is now inhabited by
fine healthy cattle, and the farm
land is irrigated from the waters OF
the lake. Malaria Is almost un-
known among the people dwelling In
that locality.

Baltic. then commanded by Capt.
j. B. Ransom. but Sealby and the
officers and crew stuck to the Re-
public until she sank under them
the next day and they were picked
up by the derellct destroyer Seneca
and brought to this port.
Twenty-four hours may make a
great difference In the hopes and
aims of a shipmaster. One Of the
younger shippers Of the line, Sealby
seemed marked for successful
career with the White Star fleet.
which was at that time planning the
great Olympic and Titanic. He prob
ably looked forward to the time when
he would walk the bridge of one Of
the lines floating palaces, the most
envied perhaps Of all captains. But
the fog that cold day Off Nantucket
changed all that. 1t was a rule OF
the line that no captain who lost
his ship under like circumstances
should command again. 1t Is un-
likely that he could have gotten
command of any passenger liner at
that time.
Fortunately, Sealby had studied
maritime law for time during his
school days, and 1t was to this pro-
fession he turned after an accident
had arbitrarily ended his days as
sea commander. Capt. Sealby opened
a law office in San Francisco and was
very successful in handling admi-
rally cases. 1t may be recalled that
the Republic case was the first
wireless rescue" Of any consequence.
Jack Binns, now reporter on the
staff Of the Tribune, was the wireless
man on the Republic and he came
into prominence through his fast
work in sending out the calls for
aid.
Retirement comes to ship masters
in peculiar ways at times, and a very
unusual case was that of Capt. Paul
Kreibohm, formerly in command of
the Red Star liner Kroonland. 1t
was Kreibohm's ship that brought in
Capt. Inch and many survivors of
the Inflated Volturno. which was
burned in mid-Atlantic Many vessels
afterward lost by torpedo attack
during the war were involved in the
rescue OF the 1900 passengers and
$50 of the crew on board.
It fell to the Kroonland's lot to
rescue the valiant Inch and many
OF the passengers, for which Krei-
bohm received a medal for heroism
t. add to others of the same sort in
his collection. Kreibohm was very
highly regarded by the International
Mercantile Marine Company after
this exploit. But i'll luck was waiting
for him. The European conflagration
was beginning to boil and Kreibohm
was marked for temporary downfall.
This captain was born in Hanover
when that little nation few its own
flag and had not yet been absorbed
by the fast developing Prussia. He
had, moreover, gone to sea when
boy and served his time in British
sailing ships of the Lamport & Holt
Line and he was in command Of an
American shipat the outbreak Of the
war. His interests seemed to lie
wholly toward the Allies. but because

search have received worldwide at
tention of scientists.
1t took great many years for DR..
Campbell to be sure of the cause for
the difference in the susceptibility Of
the bat and that of other mammals.
The great difference in the anatomy
of the bat was found to be in its
relatively much larger spleen. 1t is
TO this origin that DR.. Campbell at
tributes the ability Of the bat to
thrive on the malarial carriers and
consume large numbers of engorged
mosquitoes without being affected.
Bats Abhor Jazz.
In his experiments with bats DIR.
Campbell has come across several Pc
euliar characteristics of the animal.
For instance, bats abhor Jazz. A
phonograph & jazz record and a
small boy stationed on the top of a
hunting lodge infested with bats so
startled the animals in the early
morning hours as they returned to
roost that they flew some two miles
away, entered another hunting lodge
and never returned to the one In
which they had been living for two
years past. The explanation of this
is that the ear of the bat is so deli
cate that discordant or strident noises
are to them the most irritating of ali
sensations.
So finely tuned is the ear drum OF
the mammal that no sound below
high G will vibrate the drum. DR.
Campbell ascer.ained this with the
use of a tuning fork. A farmer in
east Texas was losing great NUM-
bers of cattle from the effects oe the

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Profes-

"Often these young men are taken
