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.

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.

HUHSESHOE CRABS.
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.

"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

GIVEN THE MAXIMUM PENALTY
FOR MANSLAUGHTER.
SENTENCE IS STAYED TEN DAYS
MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL OVERRULED -
RULED BY JUDGE WELCH.
PRISONER NOW IN CUSTODY
Ten Days Allowed In Which Time
Plaintiff Will Apply to Supreme
Court for Rehearing and Ask For
Release on Ball.
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. The motion was over
ruled at a night bession of the court.
Judge Welch came up from Madi
son Monday night. With him were

WAYNE SALOON WAR BITTER.
Vigorous Fight by the Anti-Saloon- -
League.
Wayne , Neb. , March 17. The anti-
saloon league has piesented a petition ,
containing 120 names , to the city coun
cil asking for the repeal of all ordi
nances by which saloon licenses are
granted. It Is the general impression
that the council will grant the wishes
of the petitioners.
The saloon faction claim this will
bo a knockout for them , and tbo other
side assert that It will give the people
a chance to vote directly whether they
want saloons or not.
The anti-saloon league is issuing a
weekly paper and making a vigorous
light.
Just as "it is not the oath which
makes us believe the man , but the
man the oath , " so It Is not the ad.
which makes us believe tbe merchant ,
but the merchant the ad. !
