SWAM SONG SUNG OF BOXING GAME

Farce Comedy at the Coliseum So Raw That It Was , " ' Quite Laughable.

KNOCKOUT STAR FEATURE

ALLEGED DREAMLAND JAB ADMINISTERED MR. SIMMS OF CLEVELAND COULD BE STAGED 4ND MAKE BIG HIT.

Extremely tame, uninteresting and somewhat fishy were the wrestling and sparring exhibitions at the coliseum last evening, in which Charles Olson of Indianapolis won two straight falls from George Puttman of Buffalo; "Kid" Brown and "Tommy" Dillon received credit for a draw; "Freddie" Cole was alleged to have put to sleep "Kid" Simms of Cleveland, and the third sparring exhibition did not materialize. Judging from all appearances, it must have been the swan song of the locai sparring and wrestling sport. WJiile the matches were admittedly weak, the attendance was just as poor. The latter fact is undoubtedly due to the swindle perpetrated on the Richmond public by "Kid" Griswold, not long ago. About That Knockout. Talking about the "knockout" Simms received last evening, it is to become boisterous with merriment. That stunt should be staged for a farce comedy. Simms. judging from his fall after a love tap by Cole, evidently forgot his cue. He hesitated in his descent to recollect if it was up to him to enter dreamland that round or the following one. The promoter rushed to his assistance speedily, so the Kid continued his Brodie until he had connected his frame with the mat. The audience burst into loud sobs at the tragic spectacle of the referee counting the Cleveland phenom out. Too bad, Kid. 'Twas a nasty wallop you received.

A FIRE DESTROYS SAW MILL PLANT

Fire totally destroyed the stock on hand and equipment of the C. & V. Kramer company's saw mill at Prince Dale, Arkansas, yesterday afternoon, according to word received by C. H. and II. M. Kramer today. The loss amounted to between $70,000 and $80,000, with only a nominal amount of insurance protection. The cause of the fire is not known exactly, but is said to have resulted from the dummy engine setting fire to a shed, and the fire spreading to the factory proper. Messrs. C. II. and H. M. Kramer left this afternoon for the mill to look over the destroyed property and to determine plans for rebuilding. The Arkansas factory is located in the timber district of Arkansas and is much larger than the local plant. A large stock of lumber is always kept on hand. The corporation is a closed organization, all stock being owned by the Messrs. C. H. and II. M. Kramer.

TO MEETC0L0NELS Earlham Basketball Team Will Play Kentucky University, Friday.

VISITORS QUITE STRONG

The basket ball squad is gradually rounding into form ar.d will be in condition to give Kentucky State University team the game of its life at

the coliseum Friday evening, February 11. The strength of the Kentucky team is not known, although they won from Depauw the earlier part of the season, and the Methodists won from the Quakers. The entire squad is looking for a hard battle and expects to have to fight hard from start to finish, as the dope is for a Kentucky victory. Capt. Conrad will probably not be in the game on account of an injury received in the Depauw game. Rcatren will take Conrad's place at forward, as he is playing an exceedingly fast game and will no doubt lead the man who guards him a merry chase around the floor. Rees, the veteran, will take care of the other forward and will be in condition to play his strong game at that position. Mote will play his usual position at center and from the showing which he made in the Depauw game he will cage the ball for several points for the Quakers. Hughes and Frazier will play the guards and on them will fall the brunt of the game, although Hughes has not fully recovered from the injury which he received in the Miami game. Both guards starred against. Depauw last week and are expected to hold up their own satisfactorily tomorrow night. Hines, a new man at center, has been playing an exceedingly fast game during the past week and will probably be in a varsity suit before the season closes. He plays a scrappy game and is able to take the tip oft from Mote. Furnas, who has been playing a strong game at guard, will be out of the game for a couple of weeks at least, and it may be the rest of the season, on account of physical conditions. His absence will be felt to a very large degree as he has been playing a fast and scrappy game the entire season.

fr Men'S S"S Meooimfl J All during the month of February, we will 1 1 give special discounts on Men's Suits and Overcoats in order to clean up stock in time for I spring arrivals. See windows the price quoted during this month will save money. Cirn) Sx Cln)ln)

HEARS HER MOTHER DIED LUST AUGUST

(Palladium Special) Milton, Ind., Feb. lo. After searching for her aged mother, of whom she had lost all trace for several years. Miss Rella Hartwell, received word yesterday to the effect that her mother, whose name was Mrs. Lucretia Ross, had died in the Jennings county infirmary last August. Miss Hartwell became separated from her mother when she moved to this place from New Madison, O., a few years ago. Mrs. Ross moved to North Vernon, but in recent years all trace of her had been lost and efforts to locate her have been futile. The relations between the two have always been of the most friendly character, it is said, and no cause is attributed to the woman's sudden disappearance or failure to write to her daughter. For the past few months, Postmaster Charles Calloway had been making an effort to locate the woman, and yesterday received word that Mrs. Ross had died at the Jennings county infirmary. Miss Hartwell was deeply grieved when notified of her mother's death at the charitable institution, and cannot understand why she had sought to evade her. Miss Hartwell has been employed as domestic in several families in Milton, and declares that she was amply able to support her mother if she had been given the opportunity.

staggering between cuts of cars and unmindful of his perilous position. How the man escaped being struck by an engine and instantly killed is a mystery. He did not seem to appreciate the officer's action in saving him from what would have been certain death, had he been permitted to ramble around on the tracks much longer, and went unwillingly to headquarters. In the city court this morning, besides drawing a fine of $1 and costs, Dallman also drew a stiff lecture from Mayor Zimmerman, concerning his habits.

which was discussed by several of the trustees. Several of the points brought out in the discussions will be made use of by the trustees in the spring commencements, to be held in March and April.
