KETCHEL EPIGRAMS ON X FIGHTING GAME. f I read the knocks through; I throw away the boosts. It took roe five years of training to win the middleweight championship. - Now I am going to live the way I want to. If a fighter hasn't got the punch he might as well quit the ring. 1 notice that the man -at the top hasn't any trouble in finding frienda, 1 wonder bow they look from the toboggan. There are always people who will spend a lot of time advis-1 lng a champion. Why don't they advise the man who's coming up? He needs it. I know colored fighters who are whiter than white ones. ' , It's the people who guess, at what I do that 'bother me. I never am ltotbered by those who know what 1 do. ' I don't fight because I like it I fight because I can make more. ; money at it than I could by shoveling saud around the equator and raake it a lot ' quicker. There probab'7 have been a lot of square fit titers who turned crooked because they were constantly charged with being off tha level. The game goes with the name sometimes. A man's color doesn't denote the quality' of bis punch. ; It's a cinch that any one who sticks to the game is going to get trimmed. The thing Is to know when to quit, and 1 notice that there isn't one In a thousand who does. ; ; the Washington boy and one of his kid twirlers, has the longest fingers of any man he ever saw. They stand out like a red nose and are as long as an unpaid board bill. When the kid hooks these twiners around a ball it reminds one of a centipede trying to move around a circular track. It is now said that Tim Hurst, the farfamed American league umpire, will soon take a flyer In vaudeville. Timotheus should not only be a great card for his past reputation, but would make, a crackerjack of a monologist. He is chock-full of good Irish stories as well as narratives from the ball field and ought to be a swell entertainer. Charley Schmidt, the Detroit catcher, wants to be a pugilist, not on the ball field but in a real prize ring. Schmidt has been receiving instructions ; from Rube Ferns, the former welterweight champion, and has just issued a challenge to fight any . ball player, in the major leagues, Larry McLean of the Cincinnati Reds preferred, for twenty rounds and a side bet ranging from $500 to $2,000. Schmidt says he will be ready for business at the end of the coming season on the diamond and he feels sure some . of the leading promoters will bid for ;' a match of this kind. Schmidt Is a powerful man physically and weighs 180 pounds, frerns says he can hit like a pile-driver. MONSTER FIRE BELL Has Been Received for Jhe New West Side Fire Department Building. IT WEIGHS 1,500 POUNDS The fire bell for the new West Side hose house, ordered some time ago by the board of works, has arrived and will be installed in the tower tomorrow.

Funds for the building of the road, the first of its kind on the continent, will be obtained through an assessment plan, operating similar to a levy for municipal improvements. The governors and members of the legislatures of Washington and Idaho and the supervisors of the various townships are in favor of the - highway and have promised to take active part in pro moting the enterprise. . To Irrigate Trees. Contracts have been signed by the Spokane Canal company to furnish water for irrigating the trees and supplying the fountains for a period of five years without cost to the counties and states, and the property-holders along the right-of-way have undertaken to care for the trees and assist In maintaining the roadway , until it is taken over by the states.

GRAND JURY ACTED Some Time Ago in Connection With Condemning Infirmary Building. ACTION NOW NECESSARY The condemnation of the women's quarters at the county infirmary, because It is unsanitary, by county health officer J. E. King, is not the first ' time that action of this nature has been taken. Four years ago, the grand jury on its investigation, condemned the building, but as the jury's action amounted to little more than a recommendation, it was never followed. The principal reason for ignoring the action was the alleged refusal of the county commissioners to appropriate the required sum for the construction of a new building. However, the present board of commissioners has taken steps in this direction and it is certain that something will be done this year. In fact it is necessary that , the ' improvements be made promptly, because as soon as the health officer condemns the women's quarters it can not be used any longer for such purpose. Dr. King stated today that he had not completed his report on his investigation, made yesterday. He will review the testimony of the Inmates who declared that they were made ill by the unsanitary conditions; also the testimony given by Superintendent Harry C. Meek, who realizes that a change should be made. WILL IS PROBATED Proof and probate of the wills of John and Sarah Cooper were made in the probate court today.

VERDICTS ARE NOT MADE AND THE SECRET IS LOCKED IN THE BREASTS OF EIGHT MEN, BUT RULINGS WILL SOON BE MADE PUBLIC. (American News Service) Washington, March 30. Decisions of the supreme court In the tobacco and Standard Oil trust cases have already been agreed upon and the death of Justice Brewer will not af feet the final result. Only eight men know what the verdict Is and the se cret is locked in their breasts. The absence of a suggestion from the court that a rehearing is requisite to final adjudication of either case. removes any doubt that might have existed on this score. It means that the cases have already been decided, and that the preparation of the decision which will put the finding Of the court in a concrete form is simply a matter of ordinary routine. Nine justices of the court heard the argument in these trust cases. When the decisions finally appear the opin ion of Justice Brewer will be included with those of the other eight justices.
