But I didn't care to look for little ones. I felt near enough "to the top of my class to wont a flght for the championship. Things were going along this way In the spring of '09 when nil of a sudden wo heard from Billy Brndy In New York. Brady had been out of ring affairs for n long time and busy with theatric al stuuts, ns he told rae afterward, when one day a gentleman came Into his office with a proposition. Ho want- -, t ItYAN CRACKED DUNKHORST ON THE NOSE. ed Brady to go Into the Coney Island Athletic club and take charge of all its affairs. Brady didn't care much for the scheme at first. He wanted to bo known as a theatrical man and not as a promoter. Anyway, boxing had been dead In New York for some time, and there had been few good matches. But the game came up again In great shape, and people began clamoring for the champions. Brady was sitting In a cafe one day talking the situation over, and as he talked he got enthusi astic. "I havo a great chance here," he said. "I know a big fellow out west who can whip Fitzslmmons and take the world's championship. He's fought here In the cast, but ho didn't make much of an impression. People don't know him the way I do. The time Is ripe to spring him, nnd I've got a good mind to take a flier in fighting again." "Why don't you?" asked the party on the other side of the table. "By George, I will!" exclaimed Billy Brady. He did. ne took charge of the Coney Island A. C. and wired Billy Delaney to see me and get mo to come east again. In a few days we were on the way. When I was actually in New York Brady began planning a way to get Fitzslmmons to flght me. "You can bout Fltz," Billy told me. "I know very well I can," I said. "Then it's Fitz we've got to get for you," said Billy, Brady knew in a general way that Fitzslmmons was cither nearly flat broke or that he had all of Ms ring earnings tied up in some way. Being In the theatrical business, ho knew a lot of Inside things about various peo pie. He heard somewhere or other that Fitzslmmons, after a stage tour Just finished, had failed to puy the printers' bill for his theatrical postors. ' The bill was something around 100 or JPD00, and the printers had been un able to collect. Bradv, who was a. customer, too, dropped into the printing company's ofllce In an incidental sort of way and In the course of conversation said: "I hear you have some trouble getting money from Fitzslmmons. I suppose he's a little short just now. ne hasn't fought for a long time." The printers acknowledged that Fitzslmmons didn't appear to be roll ing in ready wealth. "Woll," said Billy, "that could be fixed up easily enough. Next time you call on Fltz with the bill why don't you suggest that he take on some dub for an easy fight and got a few thou sand dollars? Ho hasn't been in the ring slnco he won the championship nt Carson two years ago, and the peo ple are crazy to see him again." Here Brady stopped and thought awhile. Then be Jumped out .of his chair as if ho had a sudden idea. "Why, say," he said, "I'll give him a flght at my club down at Coney Island nnd pay him good money for it. ne jan take on this big clumsy guy, Jef fries, that I've Just brought on from California. Ho can beat Jeffries with out any trouble. It'll bo easy money." "I'll mention it to him," said the printer, getting interested. "It sounds good, and I'd liko to see Fitz in action again myself." Brady did another thinking stunt. "The preliminaries won't netd to HOUSEHOLD REMEDIES Are a blessing to tho vast army of people who' live In rural district, and such standard medicines as Ly dla B. Plnkham.'s Vegetable Com pound, which has stood the test of cost much when we've got a champion like Fltzsfnitnons for a hcadllner," he weut on, "and I won't have to give that big stiff Jeffries more than a few dollars. As soon as the flght is over 1 can send him back to the coast and get rid of him, so I'll save money that way too. I nguro that I can give Fltz 05 per cent of the receipts, win, lose or draw, and still make enough to cover all expenses and have a fair profit left over. Tell iilin that ho can have 05 per cent, and we'll draw the biggest houso on record." Brady had struck t,he right scheme. Fitzslmmons" listened and agreed to flght So we got Fitzslmmons, and at last tho thing I'd been dreaming about ever slnco that day when I walked down the street with Charlie White at Carson had como true. I' had my chance to flght for the championship of the world, and I made up my mind right then that I'd either win it or thoy'd carry me out of the ring on a shutter. 1 didn't Intend to take the trouble to provide the shutter either. Now that I was really matched work started In earnest We got a cottage at Allenhurst, N. J not far from the beach at Asbury Park. Back of our cottage we had a hand ball court built. It was like the hand ball court Corbctt had at Carson ex cept for the fact that it wasn't roofed over. The weather was fairly warm now, and I like to work as much as possible in the open air. Beside the cottage thero was a croquet court Croquet may be a ladles' game, but nobody would have thought so if they'd seen Tommy Ityan and big Ed Dunk- horst, the "human freight car," at It. Then it was more like football. Tom my had a little on Ed. They used to bet a quarter a game. One day I was acting as referee, and Tommy had won about a dollaV and a quarter from Dunkhorst. Ed had only two bits left, and he was sore. Tommy just touched the bull with his mallet be fore making a shot and moved it an inch or so. Dunkhorst Jumped in and claimed a foul. As referee ! decided that there was no foul. Dunkhorst started to holler, and Ityan turned on him. 'You big quitter!" yelled Ityan, and he reached over with his mallet and cracked Dunkhorst on tho nose. The blood flew all over the front of his shirt. That broke up the game. My training staff at that time con sisted of Billy Delaney, my special ad viser, and Ityan and my brother Jack and Ed Dunkhorst. ityan was middle weight champion. Jack weighed well above 200 and was game and clever. Dunkhorst was like an elephant. Ho weighed over 300. He was covered with layers of fat that made him like a punching mattress. When I boxed with Ityan U was a pure flght. Ryan was supposed to be in the camp to give mo the benefit of his skill, for he was one of the Greatest boxers in the world and full of tricks. But I'll say right here that during the whole time I trained at Allenhurst Ryan didn't show me a single trick. He surely didn't invent the "croucTi" for me, as most of the papers said at that time, for I used that crouch in my first flght and in every flght afterward whenever I need ed it. Ryan didn't want to snow mo anything. His whole idea was all Ryan, Ryan, Ryan. He seemed to hate me for being so big and strong. He was envious, for if he'd had my phy sique with his skill he'd have been' heavyweight champion as long as ne cared to keep on fighting, and nobody would ever havo come near him as a fighter. One funny thing happened at our camp that I nearly forgot. Next door therp were several of those imported English fighters training. I bad several cases of good Bass ale shipped down to the cottage when training began nnd stored It away in the cellnr. Every day I went down and got what wo wanted for our din ner. After awhile It' seemed to me that ale was going mighty fast. I be- HE CAME OUT WITH HIS ARMS FULL OP MY BOTTLES OF BASS. ! gan to keep track of it. I looked tho staff over, and they were all nice and thin except Dunkhorst, who scorned growing fatter nnd fatter in spite of the hard work. Said I to mysoir, "That big stiff Dunkhorst is stealing my ale." So I thought I'd teach Dunk horst a lesson. That night I went to my room at 0 o'clock, wnited until all was quiet and then sneaked down and hid myself near tho cellar door. Nothing stirred for a couple of hours, and I was Just shout to give it up when I heard a soi'nd at the cottago across the way, and in n few minutes one of the little Englishmen came creoping across our lawn to our cellar door. Ho opened tho door slowly and sneaked in. A momout later ho came out again with his arms full of my bottles of Bass. I Jumped on him like a cat. But I didn't hurt him Just took tho ale away and told him I'd kill tho next Englishman I saw around the place and lot him go. Thero wasn't any moro alo ht the English quarters. Noxt day at dinner I gavo big Dunk horst two bottles for himself to ease my conscience. But I didn't tell Ed. time, growing In popularity and fa vor every year, will continue to be the safeguard of American women for all dlMMee peculiar to their mx. . . o- Try a Journal Want Ad. OFFICIAL FEAR mm I0LENC TnE TRIAIj OF THE FIVE MEN ACCUSED OF KILLING OLLIE SNYDER AT PRAIRIE CITY CAUSES MUCH EXCITEMENT. UNITED r&ZSI LSiSXO W1EB.J Prairie City, Ore., May 2G. Fearing that mob violence might be nttompt'ed on tho persons of five men who go ,on trial today for tho lynching of OlHb Snyder horo last Christmas, armed deputy sheriffs guarded the county Jail at Canyon City during tho night. Several guards with loaded rifles aro on duty In tho sheriff's office to protect tho prisoners. Tho men charged with being re sponsible for Snyder's death are Deputy Sheriff Joe Casaday, Em mett and Earl Shields, Ben Hlnton and Bert Green. The charge will bo murder In the first degree. A special Jury list of 100 namc3 has been drawn, but this undoubted ly will bo inadequate if each of the defendants demands a separate- trial. An effort has been made to obtain special counsel to assist in tho pros ecution. George Rader, a prominent stockman of Long Creek, has of fered $500 toward tho employment of James E. Fenton, of Portland, to assist in tho prosecution of Casaday, but the district attorney will refuse Mr. Fenton's services unless he ap pear also in tho other cases. Tho people aro aroused and feel ing against the accused men is in tense. VETERAN KILLED BY SEATTLE TRAIN Tacoma, Wash., May 2C.

Rossman was run down and killed by a Grays Harbor train yesterday. Ho died several hours after being struck. To the, last he displayed remarka ble vitality. As ho was being re moved from under the locomotive wheels, which had crushed both feet, he remarked: "Looks as if I was done for now." Rossman was 84 years of age and served -with Company X, Second Michigan, in the Civil war. He had been in the home four years. Rossman had Becured a week's furlough and was on his way to visit his daughter on Fox Island, .o CAR ROBBERS ARE SENT TO SEATTLE Governor Benson yesterday hon ored tho appl'catlon of the Washing ton authorities for the extradition to that state of Ray Coburn, Wm.

Mural, who is tho head of Mural brothers bankinfi houso of Tokio, and of various manufacturing and agri cultural projects throughout Japan, Is taking a six months vacation. He declared today that the opportunity America afforded for a study of financial and industrial methods had prompted him to spend tho vacation in this country. "Almost every Japanese who visits America," he said, "tells you there will be no war with Japan. You 'lis ten and think his statement is mere ly a courtesy because he is your guest. "But he is right. Japan admires America and, in tho main, American ideals. When America comes to know Japan better, the admiration will be mutual. "Anyway Japan wants war with no one.

Our grandmothers used to havo dark, glossy hair at tho ago of seventy-five, while our mothers have white hair before they ore fifty. Onr grandmothers usel to make a "sago tea" and apjly it t their hair. The tea mado their hair soft and glossy and gradually restored tho' natural color. One objection to using such a preparation was the trouble of making it, especially as it had to be mado every two or three dajs on account of It souring quickly. This objection has been ovcrcomo and by asking almost any first-clnss druggist for Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur the public can get a su perior preparation of sage, with the ad mixture of sulphur, another valuable rem edy for hair and scalp troubles. -Dally-uso' of this preparation will not only milckly restore tho color of tho hair but will also stop the hair from falling oat and make It grow.
