Buchanan,' Mich,, Jan. 28.-The fiercest
that ever took place in this section of the
"country was fought. !n a steel cage by a
: large mink and a big tomcat under un
usual circumstances. 1
' The mink Is owned by W. iD.' House, a
liveryman of this town, who haaundor
' taken to farm minks f6r their' fur. At
one time he had as many as 42 of these
slim, sleek creatures In a big steel-cage
Inside the livery barn.
' The place has" been frequented by &
'..large, common gray cat, with fighting
qualities that made him the terror of
all the other animals in the community.
Tom had chased practically all' of the
other cats and dogs oft the block and had
picked a quarrel with a beautiful maltese
"feline owned lnthe House household. The
stray animal was so vicious in. this, re-
fpect that House determined to test his
lighting qualities with the biggest mink
that he had In the cage. He drove all
'of. the other minks Into another com
' pertinent and then allowed the cat to
get. Inside the incloeure with , the big
mink, -f . ", ; ' : - ', "
- No sooner was the cat inside the cage
than the mink crawled out of the small
.opening in theslde of his box. His
small, bead-like , eyes were set on the
"'feline In 'an' instant.
Tom, the tramp cat, had lost no time
in taking in the situation. His ears were
bent forward, and with pair of eye
. balls that . glowed Inside the cage like
. live coals he .crouched for a jump as he
would prepare to alight on a rat
.; But it was the mink who led off in
. the fight Before the onlookerscouldtake
in the position of the antagonists H:he
- mink shot forward on his short legs and
In a twinkling he had the cat by the
; throat. The only weapons the latter
' could ' bring into play were- his sharp
claws, and these he net In deadly action.
The animals, In-deadly struggle, .rolled
over. 'and over. Part of the time , they
were. in the air in awful leaps, but the
mink never let go. The fight could not
have lasted two minutes. The mink drank
the blood of the cat until all of his nine
lives seemed, to be taken In a few
draughts, and he straightened out in the
last and gamest .fight of his life. " ... :
SPORTS WANT TO HAVE,
BOXING GAME OPENED
Among the admirers and followers of
boxing in this city there appears to bo
quite a strong sentiment toward allow
ing boxing contests to be pulled oft
here, as was formerly done before the
"Ministerial association took tti' stand
-against priseflghtlng. The boxing ele
ment state that there is absolutely
nothing wrong with conducting exhibi
tion bouts, as-.they are entertaining and
Instructive from a sclentlflo standpoint
What steps the promoters will take has
not yet been made public. Several well
known kporting men Intend calling
fiipon District Attorney Manning; o lay
the matter before him."
MAXSXAX.X. WAS JTOT CAPTAXJT.
A fact that has Just leaked out. and
is unknown to thousands who witnessed
the last Harvard-Tale gams is that
Carl Marshall did not captain the Cam
bridge team in that contest The eleven
acted under the orders of Bowdttch, and
Bowdltch alone was responsible for the
signals 'of play. In every instance the
little quarterback, whose work had been
so severely criticised during the season,
took the signal from Bowdltch before
shouting ft to the backs and forwards.
As a result, relieved of the responsibility
of captain, Marshall showed his only
triform of the year. For this quar
ter of undoubtedly excellent playing
caliber It was a luckless moment when
he was chosen captain. Leadership
handicapped' his work, and
he knew it. , and gladly gave up his
authority because he knew that under
Bowdltch there would be a better chance
of winning the Tale game.
SCHWAB A CHESS CXAJTX.
i Charles M. Schwab, the steel magnate,
it is said, is taking a lively Interest in
chess. With a view of becoming profi
cient he has engaged a tutor and at the
end of the month, when he leaves for
Europe, he will visit Monte Carlo, where
the fourth International tournament will
' then be In progress. Later Mr. Schwab
may identify himself actively with chess
Interests in this country. He has al-
- ready been proposed for membership In
the Manhattan Chess club, New Tork.

EVERY WALK IN LIFE.
Portland Citizens , appreciate
"The Little Conqueror."
Every class of cltlsans has slok kid
neys. The 'busy business man rushing
through life on the run falls to realize
the constant strain he daily puts upon
the kidneys. The mechanic, forced to
. assume unnatural positions, ' stooping
and straining at his work, does not know
that this backache is simply kidney
ache. The clerk, on his feet continually
leantng over a counter or dek; rail
roaders, conductors, engineers, street
car men, subject to constant Jarring, all
have backache from the kidneys. Don't
neglect a bad back. A lame, weak or
aching back, if neglected, means future
trouble. Kidney trouble, urinary trou

says? '
T. W. Shankland, who is a street car
-conductor on the Woodstock street car
line, residing at 710 Elsworth street,
says: "Some time-last fall I began
having considerable trouble and .annoy-
ance from a dull, aching pain in the
back over the kidneys. I think it was
caused 'from the constant shaking and
jarring of the car. I thought at first it
would disappear as quickly as it came,
but this was not the case. Learning of
Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a bo
at the Laue-Davis Drug Ca's store, cor-
ner of Yamhill and Third streets, and
took them according to direction. The
result was entirely satisfactory.' The
backache grew less and less, and soon
disappeared, and as far as I can tell It
has gone for good, for there have been
no symptoms of a recurrence."

Spokane, Wash., Jan. 28. The fans
will be pleased to learn thac there is a
chance of getting Matt Stanley to do
the backstop work for the Indians this
year. He has written for the position,
and Manager Reilly is inclined toward
securing the old veteran.
Stanley is one of the best known ball
players on the coast. He is steady as
clockwork and is apt to be given the
first place among the catchers when an
all-star team is made, up at the end of
the season. He has been Dugdale's main
stay since the big . fellow has been in
the' baseball, business, and he will be a
strong man for the 'team, "if secured.
Another player who is anxious to get
back with the Indians is Eddie Quick.
Quick will be. remembered as the tall,
blonde twirler, who always,; pitched good
ball and appeared to be in hard lack.
He signed with Jack Grim when , the
latter managed the Spokane team, and
again last year he played with Grim
with the Portland team, being trans
ferred with the club to Salt Lake.

hitting ability possessed by Ed Dele
hanty seems to run through the family.
Jim, who la one of Al Buckenberger's

In the Southern league, for, h cracked
out .383 In 90 games. Joe Delehanty,
who was with New Orleans and Mem

necessary to build new football stands
on Tale field within a year or so at an
expense of 850,000. A sinking fund will
be immediately started to pay for the
improvements, and 35,000 from the foot
ball receipts of last year will be the
first Installment of the fund.
It was announced last night that Dr.
William H. Murphy, brother of Mike

Belltngham. Jan. 28. Frank A. Gotch
of Humboldt, la., won a decisive vic
tory over Tom Jenkins of Cleveland. O.,
In-which he' won the . world's heavy
weight wrestling title. Gotch threw
Jenkins for the first fall In 66 minutes
of the hardest wrestling ever seen here.
The strain of the first bout seemed
to trouble Jenkins considerably, as it
was found necessary for his seconds to.
carry him off the mat and apply
restoratives. -
The first bout was marred by several
fouls on the part of "Jenkins, and. the
crowd hissed him frequently and called
for. the referee to declare the hput, But
he Blmply cautioned the' champion.
When Jenkins came on the mat for
the second bout he appeared distressed
and immediately secured a strangle hold
on his opponent, which was barred ac
cording to the rules. Gotch .broke away
andiJenklns swung. at him with his fist,
and had the blow landed Gotch would
have been knocked out.
The referee jumped between the men,
who were about to mix In prtse-ring
style,' and gve the decision to Gotch
on a foul.-which was met with by .the
approval of the -crowd. . ;
After the bout was over and the men
had left the arena Jenkins, acknowl
edged the justness of the decision and
admitted himself fairly-defeated.
By this victory Gotch becomes cham
pion heavyweight wrestler of the world,

CLUB DIRECTORS
HOLD MEETING
The directors of the Portland Baseball
club held meeting last evening and
adopted a resolution calling for a meet
ing of the stockholders on February 10.
The object of this stockholders' meet
ing will be to consider and vote on the
proposition of selling the control of the
ball team to Ely brothers. Notwith-
Jtandlng the report that an heroio ef
ort was under way to freese out the
small stockholders, the calling of this
meeting Is sufficient proof that nothing
of that . nature was ever thought of.
Further proof of the sincerity of the
heavy stockholders Is attested by the
fact that they would not consummate a
deal for the sale of the 'ball -club with
out first having a meeting, where the
entire matter could be discussed. The
sentiment among the fans around , town
la strongly opposed to having a baser
ball controversy every year. They
claim H is both unnecessary and ex
tremely tiresome. Last year tha city
was nooded with talking streams re
garding Mr. Lucas, Mr. Dugdale. the
Pacific Coast leagua and opposition
ciuds. Tnere was so much talk that
the baseball publics became weary, and
this year it was supposed that no repe
tition would occur. It seems, hoWever,
that a few of the sore ones favor a lot
of talk and idle discussion of the af
fairs of the club, but when everybody
is aware of how things are, no discus
sions will be encouraged. The directo
rate of the Portland Baseball club Is
sufficiently capable and eminently fair
enoygh to successfully and carefully
conduct tha affairs of the club, and also
to protect every person Interested . In
the association. -

to expect, and if, as rumor has It, a few
left the theatre last night disgusted by
the suggestlveneBS of the lines, . there
were plenty left who did not flourish
their delicate sensibilities about so con
spicuously i -
If "Ghosts' were called "Everyman"
It would not be more the old-fash
ioned morality play. . Virtue and Pro
bity nre there In Pastor Munders, rather
too stiffly played by Allen Davenport
Three of the Seven Deadly Sins are
there In the remaining four characters.
Pride, Lust and Covetousness. The sins
rave against Probity and Virtue until
they are banished, to the nether world.
However one may regard that one
eyed vision of the truth as Ibsen sees
It. his play as a piece of literature is a
work of art, and the five people in the
company wmcn played it at tne Mar
quam Grand theatre last, night are capa
ble actors. Claus ' Bugle, with appar
ently no makeup, gives some, exhibitions
of expression that are really marvelous.
His little touches of senseless Irrita

final horrible climax of the, fading of
his mind are marvelously life-like. Some
people wondered Why ha. plucked so

"It Is the very spirit of revolution

Is held up to scorn. Virtue snd Probity

seeing the play one feels like a medical
student after his first dissection It is
interesting certainly, but . one's flesh
crawls at recollection of some of the
details. v
Alberta Gallatin is a magnificent ac
tress and filled a pari; of sighs and tears
as few others could have filled It.
The play will be repeated tonight
Hera is the press agent's story of
"Ghosts," an excellent synopsis of the
play:
Henrik Ibsen's "Ghosts" has well been
caiiea a grama or Heredity, it is in
three acta in which the plot moves on
ward with the certainty, the relentless
ness of a glacier. There is no escape
from the doom that is foreshBHowed in
the opening act for the son laden, wfch
the sins of his fati.er. The lightest
word that Is spoken reveals tbs steady
movement forward of the traglo motive.
It is impossible to find an English
word that exactly represents the Nor
wegian "Gengangere," tha title of the
play. It means literally "Agatn-goers,
spirits that walk. Tha French word,
"Revenanta," comes nearer the sense
than the English "Ghosts," which, how
ever, seems to" be tha best available,
equivalent
Tha publication of "Ghosts" brought
dowrf upon. Ibsen's head a perfect storm
of obloquy. Critics that had heretofore
been friendly turned around and at
tacked him furiously, while 'the general
pnblto and Its representatives In the
press," says Henrik Jaeger, "raised a
howl of reprobation sucn as had not
been heard since the appearance of
'Loves' Comedy.' " Oddly enough (for
one would have Imagined him prepared
for an outburst of exasperation), Ibsen
seemed to have been astonished to find
his play thus received. If not aston
ished, and in a shorter time than usual
he produced a new play, "An Enemy of
the People." It is Impossible not to
recognise J tha analogy between Dr.
Scorkmann's position and that of the
poet himself. Ibsen, like Stockmann,

fellow-countrymen by speaking out the
truth as he conceived It Ibsen, like
Stockmann, found himself deserted by
his friends, dented his right of free ut

as an enemy to society.
The action of the' play takes place at
Mrs. Alvlngs country house, near one
of the large fjords in Western NorVay.
Mrs. Alving, the central figure of the
play, is the role assumed by Miss Oni
lattn. She Is the widow of Captain Al
ving. late chamberlain to the king.
Chamberlain (Kammerherr) Is the only
title of honor now existing in Norway.
