It Is claimed that the trunk la merely
carried as an accommodation and that ,
Hlnco no faro la paid for the tninlc ,
the company Is no more liable for It
than would a farmer who should come
along with a team , offer to carry your
grip and then have a runaway and
lose the thing.

HERMAN'S BACKERS WANT ODDS
Sporting Men Are Arriving In Tono-
pah From All Over the Country.
Tonopah , Nov. , Dec. 31. Sporting
men from all over the country are
pouring Into town to witness the Cans-
Herman light , which Is scheduled to
ho held here on New Year's day. A
large delegation arrived from Chicago
yesterday afternoon and every train
that comes In Is filled to Its utmost
capacity with fight enthusiasts. It
was expected that the Chlcagoaiis' ar
rival would cause the odds to shorten
as Herman -Is a great favorite in his
home town , but the result was just
the opposite. The new arrivals are
anxious to bet on their townsman but
they dcnmml odds of three to one for
their money. The fact that the Chicago
cage men demand such big odds has
caused quite a little talk among the
miners who have laid wagers on Her
man. The gold-diggers do not know
what to make of the situation. Most
of them are of the opinion that If any
bets are made they should be even
money. They do not figure so much
on past performances as do the regu
lar sporting men who make it a busi
ness proposition when they bet and
carefully weigh the chances of win
ning.
Both of the fighters are practically
at weight now and from now on they
will confine themselves to only light
vork in order to keep In condition for
ho mill.
Referee Welch , who Is In town had
i long talk with the fighters today and
explained the rules fully. The men
are to protect themselves at all times
Hit are to break at the command of
he referee. Welch warned both of
he principals that If he saw what he
bought was unnecessary holding on
ho part of ono of the fighters he
vould immediately disqualify the of
fender.
