Sharkej Will Meet Fred Russell
at Dearer Tonight.

Denver, May 3. The greatest event of
the season in fistic circles in Colorado
will take place tonight before the Colo
rado Athletic club, at Denver, when
Tom Sharkey, the "sailor," and Fred
Russell -will meet. Both men have been
training hard for the fight, and are in
the pink of condition. When the sailor
arranged the light with Kussell, he
thought he had an easy thing, and went
in it for the money, but late reports
from the new heavyweight champion
ship aspirant's training quarters and the
expents' opinion of his condition
have changed the sailor's mind, and the
last two weeks have seen him working
as if he was preparing for a fight with
Jeffrie. He realizes that he is going to
be called upon to make the battle of his
life tonight, and has learned that Kus
sell is a far better man than he at first
thought. The sailor broke training yes
terday, and will arrive in Denver to
day at noon, rest the remainder of the
day and go to the club just before time
to enter the ring. All his trainers are
confident of the bis sailor's winning,
barring accidents, and Bob Armstrong,
especially, is loud in Ills praises of the
big sailor and says: "I have trained
him for all his big fights, and I never
raw him in euch splendid condition be
fore." Kussell has never filled a very promi
nent place in the gallery of pugilistic
heroes and Sharkey is not to be blamed
if he entertained a hazy idea of his op
ponent's fighting abilities. Hut the gen
eral opinion of those who have seen
Kussell in action is that he is decidedly
dangerous.
In reference to the big Callfornlan's
chances Tom O'Kourke lately said:
I hear that Kussell weighs over 200
pounds stripped, and can hit like a mule
kicking. They tell me also he likes
roughing it. Well, that is just the kind
of a man who has the best chance
against Sharkey. The sailor likes the
roughing game himself, but he doesn't
like it so well when the other fellow
roughs back a bit. If Russell is game he
has the greatest opportunity he ever
had in his life to beat Sharkey."
Kussell is credited with having hit Joe
ChoynskI so hard that he knocked him
clear over the top of the ring into the
audience and if he lands on the big sai
lor in that fashion, he will be swimming
in mid-ocean. The men will both be ex
amined by a local physician before they
enter the ring, so that there will be no
possibility of either man entering the
contest unless he is pronounced in per
fect health. ,
CLOSE GAME AT OTTAWA.
Blues Loss Out in a Hard Fought
Battle by Score of 6 to 7.
Ottar-a. Kan., Slay 3. In the eighth in
ning Thursday afternoon the Ottawa
team bunched its hits, bringing in the
four scores and winning the game from
"Washburn. The final score was 6 to 7
in favor of Ottawa. Ottawa played in
hard luck tip to the eighth. Cook. Otta
wa's pitcher, was wild from the start anl
nver settled down. But for good support
the game would have been lost. 'Wash

part of Cook. He hit four men and sent
four more to first on balls. lie practicallv
squared himself by striking out eight
men. getting a timely twobagger and do
bttj some clever base stealing. Aitken. for
Washburn, gave two men bases on balls

LAY DEFEAT TO SPLIT HOOF.
Excuse Offered For Alard Scheck's
Poor Showing in Derby.
Louisville, May S. The showing made
by Alard Scheck in the Kentucky
Derby was a surprise even to those who
liad never thought well of the colt.
He came up from Memphis suffering
from a split hoof and was given five
days' rest and treatment before doing
any work. The hoof had healed nicely
when he was given his final workout
Friday and made such a splendid show
ing. After the race Alard Scheck was
exhausted in the paddock, and the
wound was found to be bleeding. It is
believed now that the wound was more
serious than at first thought and be
cause of this Sheck lost the Derby and
burned up the public's money.
Frank Van dieter will start His Emi
nence again in the Clark stakes next
week, when probably the same field
will meet for the second time. Scheck
will be looked after carefully, and if
lie is in shape he will be pitted against
His Eminence for the second time. His
Eminence is entered in all the 3-year-old
stake events in Chicago, and Van
Meter eaya ie will be started In all of
them.
YOtWO HAS A GOOD STAFF.
Ivational League Umpires Composed
of Experienced Men.
Jw Tork. May 3 President Xick
youngs staff of umnlres for the present
season is made up of Robert Kmslie,
Hank" OIay. Frank Dwyer and Wm.
t olpun. two veterans and two new men
to thfc league staff. "Bob" Emslie Is the
d.-an of the corps. He has endured the
trmis id tribulations of the umpire
F'.rue l!SS. beenming this spring his elev
enth successive year on the National
league staff.
' I have stood a great deal from the
players season after season." said Emslie
recently, "because I do not care to de
prive any of them of any part of their
salary, but sometimes patience ceases to
be a virtue. 1 will listen to a reasonable
argument at any time, but I won't stand
lor the senseless kicking some players in
dulge in." .
One day at the polo grounds several
years ago. after a heated argument. Kms
l:e put "Pop" Anson out of the game t:
tnat individual's great diseust and indig
nation. After the game the umpire was
eskd why he had found it necessary to
'inta Ansnri.
"Why. he called me a blanketv blank."
paid I.nmlie. "Now, if Bill Jovce had said
that I would not have minded it. because
he is always chewing the rag. But when
Arson swears at you it means some
tfcing." Tins will explain why umpires ignore
the kicks of some players and are very
firm with others.
jbUtck O'Day. baa been on the league
staff since 1S97. O'Day'9 characteristics
are firmness under fire and "a dry wit
something on the order of Tim Hurst's.
Manv a fierce attack has O lay turned
off with a reply that will cause even the
kicker to smile. Iast summer Bill Dah
len of the Brooklyn found it necessary to
have his brains examined for signs of in
sanity. "Well. Bill." answered Hank, -"if
thev opened your head to look for brains
they would find it tilled with mayonnaise
dressing."
Frank Dwyer was for years the star
pitcher of the Cincinnati club. He offi
ciated as assistant umpire in the league
two vears. I.ast summer he was with the
American league, where, owing to tha
strictness of President Ban Johnson in
dealing- with offending players, the um
pire's lot is a comparatively happy one.
William Colgan is the youngest or
Young's staff. He has had four years' ex
perience in the Pennsylvania and Ohio
Interstate league and he was a capable
umpire. "Outside of having a few hand
fuls of flint thrown at me in mining
towns." says Colgan. "an occasional run
for it after an extra hot game and the
usual arguments with players I have had
no experience on the ball field worth re
lating." K tT. WENT DOWN".
Jayhawkers Defeated in a Fine
Twelve-Inning Game.
Kirksville, Mo., May 3. The A. S. O.
team of this place defeated Kansas uni
versity in a 12 inning base ball game
Thursday. There- were four errors and
four hits made by either team, except in
the tilth inning, when Kansas scored five
runs on four hits, and A. S. O. ran in six
on the same number of hits and a coupl-j
of bases on balls. Hall pitched his sec
ond game in two days for Kansas and did
well. He was replaced by .VicCampbed
in the 12th. when the score was 7 to 4
and two out. McCampbell just suited the
home doctors and they proceeded to run
the score up to the necessary figures. Tin
dolph showed great incompetency, if
nothing worse, in his umpiring, giving
Kansas absolutely nothing on balls and
strikes, and calling six unjust decisions
against them.

HE COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Mitchell County Man Preferred Death
to Prison Term.
Beloit, May 3. B. E. Rose, better
known among his circle of acquaint
ances in Beloit and Mitchell county as
plain "Brad" Rose, was found dead in
his dug-out near the stock yards early
Thursday morning. He was seen on
the streets late Wednesday night
It was a plain case of suicide. He
was out on bond for breaking into a
meat market a few nights previous and
confiscating meats, and was strongly
suspicioned of forcibly entering the
Missouri Pacific depot here and pur
loining several cases of beer. He had
told sone of his friends that he had
run up against the "sure tifing" this
time, probably meaning that the peni
tentiary was staring him in the face.
He had also stated to others that he
never would run away and compel his
bondsmen to fork over his bond, and
therefore chose the suicide route to
escape the penitentiary and save his
bondsmen.
Brad Rose was one of the pioneers
of Mitchell county, and bad trapped
and hunted here when the Indians and
buffalos were thicker than the white
settlers. He was unmarried, but sev
eral sisters and brothers survive him.
CHURCH ROW AT BELOIT.
Visiting Evangelist and Baptist Pas
tor in War of Words.
Beloit, May 3. For several weeks
there has been a fair-sized church row
going on in Beloit. which if not soon
hushed is liable to divide the churches.
The fuss started at the time Rev.
Lincoln MeConnell came here and held
evangelistic services in the Methodist
church. He was accused of conduct un
becoming a Christian gentleman in his
intimacy with a young lady who came
here from Missouri to meet the evangel
ist. This charge was made by the Rev.
G. K. Gilluly and wife, pastor of the
Baptist church, of Beloit. A church trial
was the outcome, and Mr. MeConnell
was exonerated. This raised the ire of
Rev. Mr. Gilluly to such a pitch that
he proceeds to go after the "white
washed" preacher, as he calls MeCon
nell, in an article in the Baptist Vis
itor. The Beloit friends of the evangel
ist are so thoroughly aroused over the
matter that some interesting develop
ments are expected, when more than
the churches will be drawn into the
row.
The opinion appears quite general
that the fight will not result in any
good to the Beloit churches, and all re
gret the affair has become so public.
CATTLE ARE POISONED.
Sumner County Farmer Loses Twelve
Head by Cockle Burs.
Wellington, May 3. John A. Eiklor of
Greene township has lost 12 cattle by
death since Saturday. They have all
died at night and he has never seen any
of them sick. As soon as they are dead
they commence bloating and swell to
immense proportions. All who have
seen them think they die of some eort
of poison.
E. B. Wimer drove down to his fath
er's farm last night and went over the
J. M. Jordan's pasture where these cat
tle are kept. His opinion is that they
were poisoned by eating young cockle
burs. There were 143 head in the pas
ture and it is eaten down rather close.
FARMING ON THE SIDE.

Beloit, May 3. Judge A. H. Ellis, of

MILLIONS FOR MEXICO.
Chicago Capital to Develop the South
ern Republic.
Chicago, Mav 3. The Tribune says:
Chicago capitalists and millions of Chi
cago money are to develop the resources
of Mexico until the southern republic be
comes one of the important factors in the
world's trade.
Silver mines, supplying two-thirds of
the silver of the world; coal fields hun
dreds of miles in extent: great reaches of
iron and other ore lands; thousands of
acres of cotton and great grazing lands
dotted with cattle are to be made the ob
jects of the impulse of Chicago money.
As a first step in this direction. John
J. Mitchell and Levi Z. Leiter have been
elected to the directorate of the Mexican
Central railroad.
Bonded warehouses, heretofore un
known in th3 republic, are to be erected
at the City of Mexico and at Vera Cruz.
Cnder present methods the Mexican im
porter is compelled to pay duty on his
goods the moment they are landed. In the
United States imports may be stored un
til thev can most opportunely be realized
and disposed of. The concession under
which these great warehouses will be
erected grants the rights for 40 years.
Into this enterprise alone it i3 estimated
that from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 of. Chicago
capital will be placed.
Plans have been formulated for devel
oping the great Mexican iron fields at
Durango and the coal deposits at Coa
huila. Railroad facilities are to be- pro
vided where thev are now lacking, and a
total of i2O.0OO.0ijO of money may represent
the expenditures before the work is com
pleted. Home Seekers' Excursion via Santa
