The Jeffries-Shnrkey Fight Drew a
$06,300 House.
The largest house before which any
boxers fought was that which witnessed
the Jeftries-Sharkey fight at Coney Is

of which the fighters received 55 per cent,

larger amount, as there was consmeranie
bidding among the promoters ior tne
match. The gate receipts amounted to
$52,310, of whicli the lighters received 543.
63S. Jeffries received 75 per cent of this
amount, which made his compensation for
the seven rounds which the lisht lasted
$32, 72.3.
Corbett and McCoy drew $56,350 in Madi
son Snuare Garden, Xew York. Of this
60 per cent, or $33,810, was divided by the
righters.
At Colma, when Britt and JCelson- met
in their memorable battle, there was $4S,
311 in the house. The fighters received G5
per ce?it cf this aniount, or 531, 40J.
Britt. and Young Corbett. drew $32,245
in San Francisco. As there was bidding
among the promoters at the time, the
fighters were able to get Tii per- cent
of the purse, giving them nearly $25, 0'XI
as their share. "
The memorable . battle between Fitz
simmons and Sharhey.-in vhieh Wyatt
Karp made a name for. r)iim$elf as-.a ref
eree, drew $21,000. This was" a cast wtee
rival clubs were bidlinK, -so. the fighters
got 70 ier cent, or $li,tj'0.' - 1 '
At the fight between 'Corbett and Fltz
slmmons at Carson City in 1S97 $22.0 was
taken in at the gate. Of this Fitzsimmons
and Corbett each received 25 per cent.
Dan Stuart, the promoter, had 25 per
cent and Julian, Fitzsimmons' manager,
had the remaining 25 per cent, giving his
side of the house a half interest. Corbett
did not know that he had the worst of
the financial end of it until some time
after the right. He made up for this,
however, by getting -25 per cent of the
moving picture privileges, while Fitzsim
mons had only 15- per; .cent? r the balance
going to Dan Stuart-.-the fraoter. These
pictures were a sourco of considerable,
profit.
This was not the first "time when Cor
bett had the worst of the financial end
of a fight. He thought he and Jeffries
would not draw well in Frisco; so he
signed an agreement to accept a settle
ment on the basis of a $25,000 nurse. The
lighters' share was nearly $45.0oO. so Cor
bett lost heavily by lack of confidence in
himself as a drawing card.
The Britt-Gans fight drew $n.7B5, of
which the fighters split up $15,235. The
recent Gans-Xelson contest attracted an
estimated sum of $50,0, the fighters re

Bob Tucker the Most Daring
Money Spender of All.
Infusing a Lot of New York
Honey in the Game.
New Orleans, Dec. 11. New Orleans
Is seeing a money carnival such as
never before prevailed here. Despite
the fact that no fewer than 42 book
makers having done business on one
single day last winter, when the fair
grounds and the city park plants ran
ii opposition, there seems to be more
money in circulation now, with but one
course operating at a time and about
an average of 25 bookmakers in line.
The average wager Is larger than last
year. Undoubtedly "Sam" Hildreth is
missed, but "Bob" Tucker and the Bui-lew-O'Netll
confederacy is infusing a
lot of New York money Into the game.
For a downright Elapdash gambler there
Is no one like Tucker. He bets on ev
ery race, and he plays them to the
skies. Only that he has enjoyed one
or two good breaks during the middle
part of the year he would be broke
now. He is destined to be a power
here this winter. He has on two books,
and controls tho running of a well
balanced and powerful stable of horses.
Tucker bet as much as $32,000 in one
afternoon at Saratoga last August,
while he won $28,000 in a day's racing
at the September meeting at Coney Is
land. He bet $4,000 on a 6 to 5 choice early
thls week and lost. All the ring profes
sionals are talking about the split-up
between "Billy" Porter, the Canadian
eoldier of turf fortune, and Tucker.
Last winter on the coast they were pals.
Porter bet "Tuck's" money there, and
continued to do so all through the New
Tork circuit this past summer. Then
something happened and the two cronies
parted. Porter Is at Los Angeles, Cal.,

Cross, "the I'ouii.. ' '.
Chicago, Dec. - 11. Battling Nelson
left Chicago for a tour through Europe
last night with Billy Nolan. Before
leaving he made a few- observations up
on various angles of the fight game.
"You see, there's nobody here for me to
fight now," exclaimed Bat, "and we
think this is a good chance for a trip
abroad.
"Don't know how long we will be
away, but probably we will take 'em
all In England, Scotland, Ireland,
Wales and Austria, finally going to
Denmark, where we will probably put
in some time.
"When we get ready to 'do " Den
mark, I am going tia cable my daddy to
come over," said Bat "He always has
said he wanted to go back to the old
country when I went, and I am going
to give him the chance.
"My opinion of the fight at Tonopah?
I think just this: If Gans makes the
weight Herman will beat him. But I
really think Gans is going to dodge the
weight proposition and lose his weight
forfeit money, and will try to get in
the ring with Herman weighing enough
so that he can do his best.
"Gans is a tough fellow, all right,
but I tell you that the man who can
reach his body is going" to put him
away, sure as anything. Whether Her
man can do it remains to be seen."
Nelson asserted that all talk of his
"tying a can" to Nolan was rubbish.
"Nolan is good enough for me," said
Nelson. "So long as things go along as
they have been going, I am satisfied.
He's a good manager."
Nolan said he had booked Nelson for
several stage boxing engagements, and
would work the Gans-Welson fight pic
tures on the side. "Of course, if a
chance for a good fight for Nelson
comes along, I shall not dodge it," he
said.

Los Angeles, Cal., Deci 11. Starter Jake
Hoitman was knocked down and out for
nearly fifteen minutes Monday by Barato,
one of the jumpers in the steeplechase
event. He was unconscious for nearly
five minutes e.nd dazed for ten more, but
he finally sent the bunch away to a good
start. Cazador put it on Tom Cogan,
the favorite, winning from the quarter
pole and finishing ten lengths to the good.
Young Davis, an outsider, broke a lot of
hearts in the second event. Legatee and
Morendo were the hot tips, but the best
they could do was second and third.
Josle S. was the best of the 2-year-olds,
beating Dr. Crook by a short head.
Fourth was the best Bryaii.. could do in
the fourth race. Chantiliy. at 8 to 1. was
off first and held the lead to the wire.
Don Domo finished second and Supreme
Court third. Judge Denton made it four
straight by winning in the fifth event.

Star says: . ., . .
That more effective measures for the
protection qf the Kansas gas field than
are afforded by a county gas inspector,
must be taken," and taken soon, is made
apparent . by the statement of J. E
Wingard," who lives" south of town.
Mr. Wingard's farm is under, lease to
the Kansas Natural. There are two
gas wells on his place, neither of them
in use. They were good ones when
first drilled In, but by actual measure
ment have been for many months de
creasing in strength at the rate of five
pounds per month.
When one of these w-ells was . first
drilled in it had .an Initial capacity of
4o0 pounds, in the latter part of Aug
ust it was measured and showed a
pressure of 415- pounds. It was again
measured m the latter part Of Novem
ber and showed. a pressure of an even
400 pounds. At,, this rate this well will
be exhausted within seven years with
out ever having been, drawn on tor ser
vice apparently. It is being drawn on
however, and being drawn on hard. The
gas from beneath this farm is going to
supply those big Joplin lines just as
surely as though lines were attached to
the wells. When the big pumps begin
to draw upon this section this condi
tion of affairs will he emphasized ten
fold.
The Kansas Natural pays so much
for wells in use and so much less lor
wells not in use, often nothing but gas,
to hold the lease, so that one well
might be drilled near several; quarter
sections and attached to the line and
through this all -tire gas of those sec
tions be obtained for a mere pittance.
That is where the land owner gets it
in the neck. But. that is not all, Say
for instance that-.the company develops
a 20-million gasser on a man's farm,
and turns the gas into the line for im
mediate use. The man will get $150 or
$200 ;xt anr.um, .whil the company will
realize $8,000 or $10,000. In the. course of
eight or. ten yearg.the man'sfarm is a
sucked orange. He has received
measley pittance and the company has
realized a fortune. The land nas de
preciated in value, ' the community has
lost and the gas company moves on. to
greener fields. . ...
Neither the 'Stir, nor the men who
have struggled; against the gas trust,
have had any frJfnted quarrel with the
indivlduals'cfoing -the ivork ' of that
trust. It jMwtheO -loWttHg of ' the gas
fields and' "theTuin 3f 'the cities de
pendent upon tlveni against Which they
pretested and tirait - this protest must
again be put into concrete form is evi
denced by these disclosures of the gas
field. Mr. Wingard says that he has
been reliably informed that in the Cof
fey ville and- Deertng fields there are
20 dead gas wells. If that doesn't point
a moral you are too obtuse te recognize
one.

of coming home drunk, of using vile and
shameful epithets in addressing his wife,
and on two occasions threatened to shoot
herself and two daughters with a pistol,
terrifying them to such an extent that
they fled to the home of a neighbor for
protection. -- -

TIirXKS HIM A CONVICT.
Leavenworth Attorney . Says Great
I Bend" Robber Is a Former Client.
Leavenworth, Kan., Dec. 11. The
Times says:
Attorney Nirdllnger Is firmly con
vinced that the man who held up and
robbed the J. V. Brinkman bank at
Great Bend, but was later captured, is
none other 'than Wilmot Shields, who
was released from the U. S. peniten
tiary but a. few days ago.
-;"I have read the story of the robbery
and am firmly convinced from the de
scription of the man that he Is Shields,"
said Nirdlinger last night. "Shields was
in the county jail here a little over a
year ago. He was charged with blow
ing safes in postoffices at Great Bend
and Quenemo, Kansas. I was appoint
ed by the judge. to defenV him in the
U. S. circuit court at Kansas City, Kan
sas. He had a Russian for whom he
had worked in the' vicinity of Great
Bend present to testify as to his good
character. He was well acquainted in
that locality.
"Shields confessed , to . the robbery at
Quenemo and r got him-freed of the
robbery at Great Bend. He was sent up
to the U. S. penitentiary for the Quen
emo robbery. Money taken from
Shields when he was arrested in the
western portion of the state was kept
by a postoffice inspector and Shields
gave me an order for it. It-was sent
to me and the strange part of it was
that the bills were scorched as though
they had been burned during the ex
plosion such'as would wreck a safe."

SHE SFES THE GAS TRUST.
Providence Woman Claims Montgom
ery County Leases Are Invalid.
Fort Scott, Kan., Dec. 11. Mrs. Louise
Dean, a wealthy lady whos home is in
Providence, R. I., has been here for sev
eral days confering with her attorney,
J.. H. Crain, relative to claims shelwts
pending against the Kansas Natural
Gas company and the Peoples Gas com
pany, or in other words, the companies
that combine into what is known as the
gas trust. Mr. Crain has brought suit
in the United States court here to have
tha lease in one case set aside, claiming
that the same was invalid and illegal.
This suit is over the title to 80 acres of
land, the royalty from which is quoted
at $-30,000. Mrs. Dean has a similar suit
pending at Montgomery county for the
restoration of leases on 140 acres of land
from which she says the gas to the
value of $150,000 is to be piped.
Mrs. Dean is determined to recover
these leases in her fight against wlafc.
she terms, the gas trust. She. says . Jn
her petition that the company procured
the leases on her land after making a
number of promises. These she declares
have been broken, which tends to in
validate the leases. She hopes to have
them cancelled when the cases come up
before Judge Pollock at thie next session
of federal court.

the robbery there to be similar to the
one here. The Newton bank officials

seems to answer their description of
the robber.
"What would you say, Kearns," the
detective asked, "if I should tell you
that I can put witnesses on the stand
who will swear that you handled the
Newton job?"
' Mi-don't know." -
"Well, that's what I'm going to do."
-!iYou--can-1 do it, and do it right.".

has promised to . let the whole story

His photograph was taken and he

on thfe Newton case as it is the. opinion
of the officers that he read up on-that
robbery thoroughly though he de
clares that he never heard of it. In
addition to the $200 mentioned as
"given to the widow of Westfall, the
-rrrarT killed tn the capture of Kearns,

zens of the town raised nearly $700 and
money is still being received. The fu
neral was held Monday and was at
tended by a large crowd.
The Newton bank was robbed of
about $1,700 by a young man who
came into the building about closing
time, handed the cashier a note telling
him that he was going to rob the bank
and then ordered him to draw the
blinds of the windows and turn the
"closed" sign. This done the bandit
drove the two employes of the bank
and two customers, one man and one
woman, into the vault and locked them
in, after which he crammed a handful
of bills into his pocket and escaped.
