NINETY-ONE YEARS
Passed by Mrs, Eliza Putnam in Marietta
and Vicinity,
Another old pioneer has been taken
from tho constantly diminishing num
ber of those who could look bick over
the oast and recount events and recall
the lection of old landmarks whleh
were known to the residents of Mari
etta three quarters of a century ago.
In the death of Mrs. Sliza Putnam
who "casYcd' away 'late '-Friday after
nccn there is taken from our midst a
lady whose life was contemporaneouj
with a majority of the noted charact
ers of the century.
Born February 16, 1810, It was her
lot to rem?rk with Interest as tho
years passed by tho many changes
which attended the development of a
newly settled country which was being
subjected to the Influence of Improved
machinery and scientific methods.
Mrs. Putnam was the reliclt of Maj
or L. J. P. Putnam, whoso demise oc
curred Dec. 1. 1888. From this union
six children were born. They are as
follows: I. P. Putnam, whose homo
Is In Oregon; Mrs. Benjamin Bragg, of
this city; Henry Putnam, located In
Washington; Geo. Putnam.of Charles
ton, W. Va.; Mrs. Joseph Strahl, of
this city, and Mrs. S. S. Moore, also
of Charleston, W. Va.
All the relatives living at a distance
from Marietta have been notified of
Mrs. Putnam's death. It Is expected
that Mrs. S. S. Putnam and Geo. Put
nam, who live in Charleston, will ar
rive In tho city today to take a last
look at their mother's face before she
Is shut off from mortal sight.
Thirty-three grandchildren and 20
great grandchildren represent tho fam
ily genealogy in this section.
Though she was nearlng her nlnety
flret birthday Mra. Putnam's hair still
retained Its color and not one gray
lock could be found among her tresses.
Tho remains will probably bo taken
to Devol's Dam, where interment will
'bo made. The date of the funeral has
not yet beon decided upon.

ACCORDING TO RIS OPINION
Says There Has Been no Fights Since Sul
. livan-Kilraln Bout.
By Associated Press.
Cincinnati, O., Feb. 8 With the ex
ception of W. A. Brady, who did not
arrive from New York until tonight,
all witnessos havo been heard on the
application for an Injunction against
the Jeffries-Ruhlin contest hero next
Friday night. The counsel for tho
Saengerfest Athletic Club are not sure
tonight that Brady will be called. In
any event the counsel on both sides
agreed to limit their arguments so
that the caise will be closed tomorrow
night.
Judge Hollister is not expected to
reserve his decision any longer, than
next Monday, but there is no assurance
on that point.
Even if an Injunction 'be issued
against a prize fight, to called, it Is
stated that the promoters will proceed
,to pull off the event here next Friday
nlght and keep within tho bounds'of
tho law on sparring and boxing
matches.
The defendants deny the Jurisdiction
of tho court to restrain such a boxing
contest as is allowed under the Ohio
statutes, and they insist that they do
not intend that there shall be a viola
tion of the law. The defendants on
these grounds expect to appeal the
case to a 'higher court If Judge Hollis
ter grants the Injunction and they feel
confident that with absolute assurance
of a boxing contest only, and not a
prize fight, that they will bo able to
carry out their program.
A star witness today was Billy Mad
den, who was on the stand most of the
forenoon and all of the afternoon. HU
account of the manly art was most
Bklllful. Ho insisted that it was in
tho Interest of health as well as skill.
Madden Insisted that there has been
no prlzo fights by champions in re
cent years and that Jeffries, Ruhlln,
Chllds and Martin belong to the latter
school of scientific boxers and that
none of them were evor engaged in a
prize fight.
He InsUted that there had been no
prize fights since the retirement of
John L. Sullivan. He considered Cor
bett a scientific boxer wlo never en
gaged in a prize fight, and that when
Sullivan met Corbett at New Orleans
he lost out In their boxing contest.
Madden Insisted that as a prize fight
er John L. Sullivan Is still champion
of the world, and he reviewed tho prize
fight, at Tarvls, Miss., between Sulli
van and Kilrain for 75 rounds. Mad
den said that tho rules wero being
changed more and more in the inter
est of science and against slugging so
that there Is. much improvement now
over the rules of tho past two or three
years.
