Former Champion's Word as Good as a Cash Forfeit. Kanuos City Star : The return of Jam OH J. Jeffries with the light of Mttlo In his eyes cornea as pleasing BOWH to the .followers of biffdom and tho'athletic promoters. While Jot- frloa waa4 actively engaged In slugging'p hla fellowmen his word was always aa good as a cash forfeit , but since WB retirement many of his former admirers have reached the stage where they bollevo that ho has boon dimming the pugilistic horizon with throats simply for advertising pur poses. When Jeffries was hero some thrno-months ago ho told the writer that ho would surely meet Johnson .fcoforo next spring , providing that ho could Induce the negro to fight. "It will bo Johnson , not Jeffries who will dodge the IBSUO , " said the retired champion. "I will bo on hand tot fight on a winner takc-all-basls and then you will see that the negro has only boon bluffing simply looking for > a healthy losing end of a largo purse. " Although Jeffries has not engaged In a fight for more than five years and his last ' engagement wasn't a real fight , Jack Munroo being his opponent ho believes that ho can got Into condition at least bo good enough to whip the negro. Jeffries Is only 33 years old , but ho has been far from au , exemplary young man. Ho has never owned a motor car , but ho has burned the primrose path on foot This Is not meant to Infer that the retired champion Is a drunkard by any means. Ho has only followed the load set by former champions and has had a fairly good time since ho first began to make money with boxIng - Ing glovos. For the last year , however , the big' follow has cut out the "grape" and late hours , and there Is no doubt but what ho has been really trying to find out whether ho can "return. " Ho has always said that he would never light the negro unless ho was positively satisfied that he could stand a long solgo of training. Ho has been doing light work for the last six months ! and It Is evident now that ho believes that ho la duo for moro honors In the squared circle. As to Jack Johnson , ho has never boon considered a model young man. Ho Is only eighteen months younger than Jeffries nnd for the last three years ho has boon devoting nearly all of his timu to burning country roads and gasoline. Ho is also rather fond of fjjn and there Is no reason' to bollove that his constitution is as rugged today as it was some years ago. Although Jeffries and Johnson prob-l ably will meet In Now York next week and discuss the plans of bat- tie , It is hardly likely that they will como together for nt least four months. There will be many things t to bo settled. That f 10.000 side bet which Jeffries says he will Insist'upon , undoubtedly will bo "scratched. " and then the referee question will take up some time. After all forfeits are up both men will want .some time "to > clean up" on the stage and two | months for training. But they will light , all right , all right. Real Estate Transfers.

( Adv. ) Clear Title to Sugar Factory. Clear title to the sugar factory pro perty , including buildings and o40 acres of land , will shortly bo hold by the Norfolk Industrial company. The four yeara' time during which a trust deed was held by the Industrial company , ended In August , and now that M. C. Hazen , attorney In the seEd for the local company , has returned from the west , Immediate action will bo taken to have the American Beet Sugar company release the trust deed , giving clear title to the pro perty to the Norfolk company. The trust deed was recorded > at the time it was given , four yeara hoo. ; That document Is now held by the sugar company , but under their coo- tract they wore to release It and give absolute title at the end ot four years. When the sugar factory was abanddn oned , four years ago , the sugar comsol pany agreed to give possession of the buildings and land to the Norfolk InIn diibtrlal company , which Is composed of the men who originally donated to the sugar factory fund. | ' The sugar company , however , withtoi ' hold ' giving clear title at onto , making I 't ' a part of the contract that I trust deed should be given until the end ' of four years , so that the ntaa tute of limitations might run against tiny claims for damage which should uo brought against the sugar com-1 pany ' for abandoning the factory here. . That time has now clapped and the Norfolk ( stockholders will within a few ' days have a perfect title. Then they will bo In position to do whatsoloi | over they desho with the property , No ( stops have becn taken as yet toel ward using the factory buildings for any Industry. ! Since the plant was abandoned five years ' ago. If has remained empty and uncared for. I That It would offer an Ideal opportunity - tunity for some now Industry , has.cti i been the belief of many. Chas. Nordwlg Again a Forger. Madison Chronicle : Charles Nordc wig of Norfolk , who has been workIng - Ing for several weeks In Olto Koe-1 . berlln's . ' tailor shop In this city , is on' 1 the . list of "missing but wanted" slneo Sunday . ' evening , on account of forgjj Ing his employer's name to n check for $20.50 nnd getting the check'le cashed. I ' It seems that after working hours Saturday evening Nordwlg returned 1 lo the shop , got out some blank' checks on the different banks , from his ' employer's desk and , choosing ono , of the Madison State bank chocks i , ltfilled It In for the above , amount , and forged Mr. Koeberjln's. name -to .It. : He then took It to Fred Funk's place ' , and got It cashed , claiming It repre i- sented his week's wages , when , ns a matter of fact , Mr. Koebcrlln had paid him Saturday morning as he wanted to go to Norfolk. Ho did not go , however , during the day , but did drive to Norfolk In the evening after cashing the check. He drove back again on Sunday , and was around town until Sunday evening , returning to Norfolk by train. On Monday morning when Mr. Funk presented the check at the bank it was discovered that Mr. Koeberlln had no checking account at the Madi son State bank , hut did his banking .business at the First National , a fact j ' Nordwlg did not know when choosing a blank check. A little investigation then disclosed just what had hap pened. County Attorney Nichols having business In Norfolk Monday morning , promised to put the 'officers there on Nordwlg's trail , and sec what could be done toward his capture. Charles Worflwfg only within the past was released from the year No- i braska { ! penitentiary , where he served n term for forgery. He formerly ran a tailor shop In Norfolk , and at one time had a shop In Pierce. He worked at the trade in Norfolk , after returning from the pen- ftentlary. Before his first offense , Nordwlg had trouble with his wife and created a sensation in Sioux City by kidnapping their child. Later at Madison , the child brought the parents together again' , but harmony was short lived. ' Chief of Police Marquardt says Nord- wig loft Norfolk Monday for Sioux City.

Ho was husking corn for his brother , four miles west of town , when the corre spondent drove out and told him about It. At first ho thought It was a joke : , but when shown a telegram confirming the story , ho believed.

The beginning of the drawing by the little Misses Josephine Burke of Pierre and Alice Jackson of this city was preceded by short addresses by Judge Wltten , Congressman Burke of South Dakota and State's Attorney Van Slyke of Brown county. The two little girls were accompa nied to the door of the screened plat t- form by their fathers and Judge Wit- ton , and as the door was opened they stepped into the enclosure where were piled 81,356 envelopes containing each a name of a man or woman who had made aflldavit of eligibility to register ! for land and enter It If successful in'j drawing a number. Both of the little girls were dressed In white and made a pretty picture by the side of tho'i white haired judge who manages the drawings In the Interest of the govern-1. ment.

Ted Coy to be a Conspicuous Figure In Football This Year. "Ted" Coy of Yale , no matter what happens , Is bound to bo ono of the most Important figure on the green gridiron this. year. He Is captain of his team and In his last year as an > EH. Ho will have served the allotted time In football when ho finishes In , the final game with Harvard , which will be played at Cambridge In cho [ vember. From the moment that ho became n 'varsity player Coy stood . conspicuous In football in the Of. . I He Is ono of those sturdy young' | ' Americans to whom football Is nsry | I natural and as easy as baseball is to \ others. Equipped handsomely with the' ' proper physique to play the game , and endowed with a keen perception as to Its requisites , ho fits Into football as perfectly as the secret drawer fits Into the conventional old desk of the hidden will novel. Coy la n splendid young man as athlete , student , and companion. Born' ' , In Connecticut , not far from Yale un iversity , he has absorbed all the at- mosphoro which attaches to football traditions of the east. Ills father a profespor < \ n preparatory school , Coy was brought up among youngsters whoso ambition was some day to llg- uro on the football field , or the dintor iitond. or In the shell for one of the larpo universities of the east. Ills brother was ono of the llnost end tuslio1 ? that Yale over had. There was no player his superior In the years In which ho was a member of the Blue eleven. "Tod" Coy Is even more powerful In a general way than his brother. He Is very Btiotig physically and Is built on nniKflvt ) outlines. Ills s'loulders ' tue broad and largo-boned , Ills chest Is doot ) . and the muscular development of the torso la superior to that of the avoraco man of his age and height. Add to this a pair of legs which seem to ho without llii'lt ' as to power and energy , nnd which must ho fed by bolh-iH Intended for an engine of forty horse powerp and an Idea may bo obtained of the amount of resistance whli-h Is needed to combat him on the football Hold. In one of the games against Print-e ton la t year It Kcc "od as If all the'f i ' Princeton except the very remote backs had surrounded Coy and would prevent him from advancing the ball , but at the center of the mass there was some ono tugging , and pulling. and shoving , now and then half fall- Ing , rising again , digging his toes In to the ground and pushing onward , and at the end of a lltlle more than a minute Coy emerged from the group , leaving some players sprawling behind him , the ball under his arm , and headed for Iho Princeton goal. Ho reached It , too. That's the .manner In which ho makes his gains. Ho knows how to keep his feet , his body la nicely tit- tuned to assist him In keeping his feet , and he simply will not bo stopped so long as he la not checked by anything short of a stone wall. Once In a Harvard game ho was held by sheer force of numbers and ' could not move an Inch farther , but ho was not downed. Not n bit of It. He stood upright , the center of all the group. The ball was still In his hands , nnd the referee had blown his whistle to announce that It was a fresh down , but Coy was standing up. They had been unable lo Ihrow him lo the oarth. Ho made ton touchdowns for Yale ilast year , and there are some who be tHove that If ho had boon allowed to run once moro In the Harvard game when ho was close to the goal , Yale , would have scored a touchdown.
