NIMDAY MAHPII on IN THE SPRINGTIME SPECULATE UPON THE CinCUS. 80ME WILL COME TO NORFOLK Mr. Schiller , on Old Time Circus Man ager , 8aye Norfolk May Qet Buffalo Dill's Wild West or Rlngllng' Thin Season. In nnothor week , on Uio Twentieth , tlio sun bobs across Uio equinox nnd flprlnp with thoughtfl of circuses nnd other things formally arrives on tlio scene. The circus "question" IB a pertinent IHHUO for nil Norfolk wants to sec two or threw circuses hero this summer nnd n good part of north Nebraska will visit Norfolk for one of tlio big shows. Norfolk stands a good chance of landing something good In the circus line according to Robert F. Schiller of Uio Oxnard , who tins boon n circus manager nnd Is In touch with the busi ness. It wna Schiller who first pre dicted the visit of Uarnum & Bailey last fall. The Barnum show will not , of course , visit Norfolk again this year , but Buffalo Bill's Wild West or Ring- lings' big circus may possibly come. Mr. Schiller thinks that Norfolk is more than likely to got a visit from the old John Robinson circus or the irngcnbach & Wallace combined shows , the latter being one of the greatest exhibitions In America now , combining Wallace Brothers' circus nnd the famous llngenbach wild an imal show. Campbell Brothers' circus , one of the cleanest In the west , will prob ably come to Norfolk again this year. SPORTS JEFFRIES TO BECOME PROMOTER Will Erect an Arena Outside of Los Angles To Have Finish Fights. Iios Angeles , Cnl. , March 14. Jim Jeffries , heavy weight champion , Is going to revive the boxing game In Los Angles. He Is tired of looking nt to-round bouts nnd has secured an option on a piece of land Just outside the city limits , where he plans to erect n monster arena. "I have backing from some of the richest men In town. " said Jeffries today , "and unless plans miscarry , will have fights to a decision soon. Those 10-ronnd affairs are jokes. They lead to many free fights among the men who bet on them. "I expect to go to Europe this sum mer. I want to take my wife over to Germany , but If Burns 'and Johnson will mix about that time , I will re feree the fight , but It will cost them ' $5,000. , Nothing less goes. " { "DOPE" AGAINST GOTCH. Sporting Writers Select Hacken- schmldt as an Easy Winner. With the Gotch-Hackenschmidt match only thiee weeks away , sportIng - Ing writers are busily engaged In "doping" out the fate of the American champion. All ngiee that he is a fast clever wrestler , but few give him a chance for the capital prize. One reads only of HacKenschmldt , the muscular pomleioslly , the human rock crusher. After reading of the mighty strength of the "Russian Lion , " one is led to believe that Gotch is a weak ling , Instead of 210 pounds of bone and muscle. Hackenschmidt is un doubtedly the stronger man of the two , but Gotch Is anything but a weakling. The American champion has won many matches by sheer strength nnd those who saw him pick up Tom Jenkins- - like a sack of salt and slam him to the canvas In Con vention hall are convinced that he has strength enough to worry even the mighty Hackenschmidt. While giving irnckenschmldt the credit for being the stronger man , there are still several points in favor of the man fiom Iowa. In the first place , Hackenschmidt has only been wrestling at the cntch-nscatch can btjlo for a little more than two years nnd It Is n certainty that he has a whole lot to learn about the new . style of grappling. Hnckenschmldt . Is also very fast for a big man , but when the writer saw "Hack" In acton some three years ago h.o failed to show the speed required to trim n man of the Gotch caliber. Gotch has the speed , > onth and cleverness in his favor. No American wrestler has ever been able to break his fam ous toe-hold nnd If he gets one of "Hack's" "tootsies" In his vlsellke grip there will bo a big drop in Rus sian beef. Hackenschmidt may win the mutch and win easily. If he does he Is the wonder ho Is supposed to be. The betting will undoubtedly be strongly in favor of the foreigner , the prices quoted at piesent being two to one , but favorites don't always win. Jury Acquits Mrs. Mattson. Duluth.

Th Necessity For Turning Them Over In the Aquarian Pool. It is not au unusual occurrence at the aquarium for some humane visitor to approach an attendant and say : "Thoro's a horseshoe crab turned over on Its bock In the pool here , and It can't set back ng ln. Won't yon please come nnd tarn it over ? " A climb * on to the coping n round the pool In which the big horseshoe crnbs are kept nnd roaches down In the water - ter with It nnd turim the horseshoe right Ride up , whereupon tlio crab moves oft comfortably. Tbls , however , ns don In aucii case upon request , Is only what sooner or Inter the attendant would have done of bin own accord , for they here keep an eye on the boret'HhocB as they do on all Uio other impounded creatures. It might perhaps be wondered If tbo horseshoe crab linn to hnvo a man to keep It turned ever here what It doe * In the broad open wotor In which It finds n home , quite apart from man nnd whore it cnn't have any such ns- latunce. Tbo answer la that In 1U natural homo the conditions are very different nnd that there It in able to turn over Itself. The horseshoe crab has a long , stiff , Vlketlke tall , which Is joined to it bod/ with an attachment that works like a binge. In the sea when a bone- shoe geta tnrned over on Ita back It digs the point of Ita tall Into the sa 4 or mad on the bottom , and with that to bold by It raises the tall end of Ms body up off the bottom. In that move advantageous position and with tbe tail helping itome as a lever tbe boras- bee la able to turn lUelf over. In an aquarium pool , which Is lined with porcelain dies o that It can be kept clean , the horaeehoe creb can't de thin , because there It can't find swnti cr mud to stick Ita U1I Into to get a brace. Occasionally a horseshoe that has been overturned will by chance get the tip of Ita tall Into tbo angle form ed by the floor and the wall of the pave and BO , with something to bold against , get leverage enough to turn Itself over , but generally the big over turned horseshoes lie on their backs In the pool until they are righted. The righting P of the horseshoes al ways Interests tbo people standing around tbe pool , among whom there are likely to be some who view It with a more serious pleasure. A woman . said to an attendant who bad just turn ed over two big horseshoe crabs : "I am glad to see that you treat them with vtmlnm . " STUDENTS WRECK THEATER 'slice and Fire Department Unable te Quell Riot at Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor , Mich. , March 17. College lego feeling among the students of tha University of Michigan burst forth In to a riot last night. More than a score f students were locked up in jail and the Star theater , a 5-cent place of amusement , was literally wrecked. Later In the evening , the mob of stu dents , which numbered fully 2,000 , di rected a college "rush" against the front of the building , tearing away windows and doors and plaster and rolling the theater piano out into the stieet , where leaders of the students mounted the Instrument and per formed a dance to the accompaniment of mnd cheers and1 yells from the un manageable crowd. The trouble dates back to Saturday night , when a , stu dent in tbe audience , who persisted In repeating.tho Ann Arbor college yell too often to suit the management , was ejected and thoroughly clubbed. The trouble started with a small crowd of students throwing eggs at the building. This diversion soon gave way to a fusillade of rocks , and when the police ware called to quell the disorder the yells of derision sent up by the young men brought rein forcements from every direction. As the attacking party grow wilder , Its aim broadened proportionately , and windows of the upper stories of the building and those of neighboring 1' business places began to crash. FindIng - Ing the police unable to subdue the rioters , Mayor Henderson summoned j the fire department. Several police officers had been felled with flying missiles and others fought on , hatless after their helmets had been stolen to decorate some student's den. The firemen bad no sooner laid their line of hose to the scene to give the mob t ) a drenching , than , with a wild yell , a detachment of the boys captured 100 feet of tbe hose and ran yelling down the street with It. The disorders In creased until the work of devastation was complete. IDAHO RIVERSJVERFLOW Situation Is Most Serious and Crest of Flood Is Still to Come. Spokane , Wash. , March 17.

"BOXING CONTEST" AT RAILWAY HALL MONDAY EVENING. VERY NEAR THE REAL THING Third of a Series of "Contests" That Has Been Pulled Off In the City During the Past Few Weeks Wit nessed by Crowd of "Sports. " Jack O'Lenry nnd the "Battling Dane" boxed fifteen rounds to n draw- in Railroad hall Monday night. The main bout started at 10 o'clock nnd was witnessed by quite a representa tive crowd of Norfolk people. "Kid" Jensen , a fighter of some repute who Is working in a Norfolk blacksmith shop , referced and nt the end of the fifteen rounds called the match a draw , a decision which seemed to meet with satisfaction. O'Leary was the cleverer fighter of the two and In the "points" of the contest landed the more damaging blows. The Dane , who Is sometimes known by the less euphonius name of Pete Jensen , while he fights mi guard ed often and is inclined to rush , has the capacity of taking almost 'any kind of punishment that local fighters seem able to manufacture. The Dane , too , got in the most blows but they were not well landed ' ' as as O'Leary's punches. O'Leary fights low and has two bad ears which worry him. O'Leary had a shade the best of the opening round. The Dane took the second but received the most damage in the Third. The fourth nnd fifth were even. The Dane got the sixth nnd put one of O'Leary's ears In bad shape. This was the only blood of the contest. The seventh and eighth were O'Leary's , while the Dane came up more aggressive In the ninth. The tenth was close while O'Leary made a strong showing In the eleventh. The twelfth was the Dane's round. The men pushed each other hard in the last three rounds , O'Leary crouching and the Dane footracing for an open ing. ing.The The match Monday evening was the third contest held in the hall during the last few weeks. The contests are fought with heavy gloves and for "points. " The crowds have been or derly. In the preliminary Claude Housh was given the decision on points over his brother , Earle Housh. They boxed five rounds , Dick Walton was ref eree. | THEIR FATHER WAS IN THE RING Housh Once a Prize Fighter Now He's Training His Boys. G. P. Housh , lather of two youths who boxed five rounds at railway hall last night as a preliminary to the O'Leary-Battling ' Dane go , was once in the prize fighting business himself , In fact he lost his left leg in athletics , And he has been coaching his boys In the ring for some time. Over at their house In Edgcwater park they have gloves nnd a mat and Indian clubs and trapeze. Claude , aged eighteen , Is lighter but headier than Earl , who Is seventeen. It was Claude who was given the decision on points last night. It is at the Hbush home that Jacl O'Lcary stays and ho and Claude mb up in some pretty strenuous contests for the sake of O'Leary's training Housh , the father , fell from a thirty four foot trapeze on a stage twenty- two years ago , injuring his knee so badly that amputation was necessary a couple of years later. And he used to box. Twice be engaged In ring fights , once getting a draw and once winning a decision over Greek Georg nt Peorla , 111. Greek George has at tained some note since. Housh brok Greek George's leg In \\iestling match after the fight. It was not on a foul that Housh got the fight do clslon that time It was because h refused to deliver a knock-out Greel George looked up , his eyes appealing , and Housh felt sorry for him. The father feels proud of hi& twc boxing boys. At the ringside las night he helped take care of then between rounds He MIJS that som day Claude Is going to surprise pen pie.

GIVEN THE MAXIMUM PENALTY FOR MANSLAUGHTER. SENTENCE IS STAYED TEN DAYS MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL OVERRULED - RULED BY JUDGE WELCH.

Ten years in the state penitentiary nt hard labor wns the sentence pro nounced on Hormnu Bocho , convicted of manslaughter as n icsult of the kill ing of Frank Jnrmer , by District Judge A. A. Welch in tlio district court room nt Madison Monday evening. Boche'u ' attorneys will now appeal to the supreme - , preme court. Bocho was given the limit , receiv ing the maximum sentence permitted by law for the offense of "manslnugb- , ter. " The penalty llxed by law is from one to ten years. Herman Boche seemed staggered by the sentence. For the lirst time since the piesent murder trial began he appeared affected. Sentence wns pronounced at n night session of the court. Judge Welch had overruled tbo motion for a new trial. The judge asked Herman Bocho If there wns any reason why sentence should not be pronounced on him. Af ter a brief conference with his attor neys Boche snld "Nothing. " At the request of Boche's attorneys Judge Welch Issued an order suspend ing the execution of the sentence for ten days In order to permit them to go before the supreme court for an order admitting Bocbc to bail pending the appeal to the supreme court Bo che was assigned to the custody of Sheriff Clements until that time. The Boche case will probably come before the supreme court within the next few months. Criminal cases have the right of way In the supreme com t , depending for the time of the healing largely on the attorney general. At torney General Thompson will have charge of the cabe against Bocho on appeal. Senator Allen , chief counsel for Boche , made an exhaustive argument during the afternoon In favor of his motion for a new trial. The attor neys for the state did not speak on the motion.
