George Wheeler was the victim of a foul in a one-round battle on the driv- ng park track at noon when James Kolash , recently a Verdlgre citizen but now residing on South "thirteenth street , showed some scientific meth ods in the art of something more than boxing. As the result of the fight Wheeler has a badly scratched eye and face , and Kolash has three wounds on his hands from the teeth of Wheeler. About thirty people wit nessed the fight , which followed a long argument between the two prin cipals as to who was the better man. The fight was the result of a throat made by KolasU to "whip" Wheeler whenever he met him. The threat was made because Wheeler had turn ed Kolash and his family out of his house on account of alleged delin quent house rent. Kolash left the house in very bad condition , it is charged by Wheeler , who says Kolash tore the plaster and wall paper from the walls and painting up the bedroom with dirt. While returning from an Inspection of the bouse at noon Wheeler met Ko lash on Norfolk avenue and Fifth street. Kolash demanded to know why he was sued for the rent and de clared if Wheeler would come out of the city limits he would "lick" him. After some argument both men , who were in buggies , drove to the race track , followed by a crowd In automo biles and buggies. Kolash refused to get out of his conveyance and was called a coward by Wheeler , who was really on the defensive , having ac cepted the challenge. The argument soon grew warmer , Intensified by re marks of some of the onlookers. Ko lash declared he was not afraid to get out of his buggy. "But I will stand close to the wheels , " he said. "You can't hit me here , Wheeler , " said Ko lash as he climbed down from his seat and stood between two wheels of his conveyance. Kolash then uttered a vile oath and Wheeler resented It with a stralg' ' t right which was somewhat short. They clinched and Kolash put two short fingers into the eyes of Wheeler , who was blinded. The lingers seemed to go deeper Into tl e c/o sockets and the crowd yelled "fight fair" to Kolash , who then released his fingers from the op'tlcs and , taking advantage of the blinded man , commenced a rapid fire on the face. He succeeded in getting In two or three hard rights on the cheeks and Wheeler cleverly ducked other terrific swings and Jabs , which he took on the head. They clinched again and fell to the ground together. Wheeler succeeded In rolling on top of his smaller opponent. Accidentally Kolash's finger slipped Into Wheeler's mouth and the teeth closed upon It , causing Kolash to yell , "Take him off ; he has bitten my lin ger off. " The light ended there , Wheeler saying Kolash had "got him" that time , but next time the tight would go the other way. Parochial School for Bonesteel. Bonesteel , S. D. , July 21.

A wager of $1,000 re sulted and on March 1 I left Philadel phia for San Francisco. I left Phila delphia dead broke , as one of the con ditions of the wager. I must get my meals the best way I can. I have worn out three pairs of shoes and ono suit of clothes. In case I must have anything llko shoes or clothes , I'm allowed to work to earn money to buy them. Otherwise I'm not permitted to do any work. " Route Laid Out for Him. Wyand's route is laid out for him piece by piece. At Omaha ho received a letter ordering him to walk to Nor folk , thcnco to Cheyenne. At Chey enne ho will get further Instructions ns to his route.

I was drenched and woke up with con- I gestlon of the lungs. It's getting worse now. " "Aren't you worried about It ? " he was asked. "I never worry about anything , " the walker answered. Wyand Is an electrical engineer and expert automobile machinist , by trade. He uses the very choicest of English , and talks like a college graduate. He always says "wager" instead of bet he gives the correct pronunciation ol the word "route , " and in a score of little ways like that his speech indi cated that he was well educated. "And now one other little thing , " he said , In conclusion. "If you'll stake me to the price of a meal , I'll not bother you any more. " TRIPLE PLAY MADE.

The Da- kota Farmer says : South Dakota t' ' crop conditions have not changed ma- 'terially ' since our last report. A very light crop of small grain was then Indicated - . dicated and late rains bettered It only In limited areas. No part of the state . 'will ' harvest a normal crop of wheat , oats or barley , and in some sections there will bo a total failure. Every part of the state reports a few fields much better than the rest and usually attributed to better methods of tillage , r. Flax still gives promise of fair to good I yields In nearly all sections. Corn is i' ' the best ever known and greatly in advance of any previous year in every I particular.
