DKNVKII , Colo. , April 10. A desperate fight
took place Saturday at the county poor farm
between two of the inmates , whoso advanced
ago and physical disabilities would ordi
narily render such a thing impossible. Wil
liam Slater Is "Band Michael Lyons is7-1 years
old. Slatnr has been at the farm for several
years. Ho was a sufferer from acute
rheumatism , which had nearly paralyzed his
arms , Lyons has boon at tbo farm since last
August. Since going to live there bo has
suffered a stroke of paralysis which affected
his entire loft side. Ono of his eyes was put
o'ut. by a flying spark years ago when ho was
a worker in an iron foundry. The men have
slept in the same want and until recently
were the best of friends , Their friendship
finally came to an abrupt end because Lyons
some time ago accused Slater of having
stolen a razor from him. Slater denied this
und hard feeling existed between the two ever
since. Yesterday Slater attempted to con
ciliate Lyons , but instead of doing so only in
creased his ire. Suddenly Lyons drew a
knife nnd , although a cripple , innda n slash
at Slater. The latter , who Is also a cripple ,
quickly hit Lyons over the beau with his
crutch , badly Injuring him. Before It could
bo related Lyons stabbed Slater twice In
the stomach. Slater fell helpless , and as ho
lay bleeding ho cursed his assailant and
swore dlro revenge. Slater received two
frightful cuts directly over the abdomen ,
one in the liver. Both men were taken to
the county hospltal.whero Slater died today.
Although Lyons' wound is not necessarily
fatal , his extreme age may render it so. lie
Is under arrest.

CORBETT POSES AS A BULLY
Tlio Champion Bruiser Stopped in Omaha
Yesterday to Disgrace Himself.
HE WANTED TO SCARE A REPORTER
III * I'rolunlty nnd Iltilimiilnin l > lKti tml n
Crowd t tlio I'nliin llrpnt l.mt
Called DUITII lijr
. Jim Corbott , the champion bruiser of
America , passed through tlio city yesterday
enrouto from Chicago to Denver. Ho
stopped nt tlio Paxton for dinner but did not
subscribe bis tiamo In tbo register. Whether
this was from the faot that ho wished to
avoid the usual crowd that Renorally Mocks
to see a successful prlzo lighter , or because
bo was afraid the hotel would inform
him that bis absence was prefer
able to his company the 1'axton
being n strictly first-class hotel is
not stitcd. The latter , however , is the
likely explanation of his action.
In company with Frank Handle the sport-
Ins editor of TUG Hun mot tlio 1 % rufllau nt
the depot a few moments before tbo depar
ture of the train , and after shaking bauds
tlio burly bully in his loudest tones bopan to
roast the scribe for the article which ap
peared in yesterday morning's Hm : with
roforw.oo to the coming of I'oter Jackson.
"You're a d nice man , " bo opened up ,
glancing around to sco whether the crowd
was ready to take In tbo show , and ruall/.ing
that they were nil ready , bo continued.
"What did you mean by what you said this
morning about my not being willing to light
Jackson ? "
"I meant Just what I said , but that wasn't
it , " replied tbo reporter.
"Well , you are a d nice man running
dotvn tbo only" with tbo accenton the only
"American and slit-kin'
prize lighter up
for the nlggor , and you arc a d liar If
you say 1 won't light him. "
"I don't know whether you will light him
or not , " responded the scribe , "but 1 can toll
you one thing , 1 didn't come hero to got into
an argument with you or any other prize
lighter. "
"Well , then , why didn't you tell the truth
in your paper. That nigger don't want any
of my game. I'm ready to light him any
time , and I'll give you $1,000" and ho
reached in his pocket presumably to draw
forth the stuff , but happening to recollect
that little Ilrady , the old Omaha newsboy ,
bis manager , bad only given him $10 for ex
penses in Omaha , bo drew It out empty , and
continued to roar for the benefit of tbo
crowd : ' 'Rtickin' up for a nigger in prefer
ence to the only American prize lighter. You
newspaper men make mo sick , roastin" an
American for a nigger. I am , and always
have been , ready to light any one. Now my
$1,000 goes , if you make a match wltii the
d d nigger for me. Ho don't want any
of my irame. " And he swaggered
across tbo platform and back , swearing and
blaspheming like any common loafer.
There wore ladies and children standing
around , too , ciuito a number of them , but
that made no difference to the ruffianly
bruiser. II o could have licked tbo whole
crowd if necessary. Ho continued this cow
ardly action until the depot policeman
stepped up and reminded him of his sur
roundings , when be subsided.
Now what are the facts about Corbett's
pretensions. In the first place it was never
alleged that he would not fight Jackson , but
it is a fact that Jackson has been
exerting himself by every means
within his power to make a second
match with this champion ruffian , has posted
his money time and time again , reminded
him of bis claims upon his first consideration
by reason of tbo draw they fought in 'Frisco ,
and offering every inducement to the cham
pion bruiser to cajole him into a second
meeting to demonstrate once for all who is
the master. But no , Corbett had promised
his pa that ho would fight no ouo but
Mitchell , and bo couldn't break his woru to
the loving parent. Again Ed Smith , no
longer than two weeks ago , in Pittsburg ,
challenged Corbott to light him for a stake
of $10,000 , and as aircarncst of his intentions
posted n certified check for ftJ.fiOO , hut the
big bruiser llunkcd and Instead wanted to
fight Smith in a bar room or on the street.
As to the American press roasting this man
Corbett , whenever were they as lavish in
extolling the superior qualities of a man in
this case suob qualities being confined to
the big bruiser's fists than they have those
of Prize Figtiter Corbett's. But it is his na
ture. Ho knows nothing of tlio common
courtesies of life , his only ambition being to
pose as a inatmoo masher and a brutal , ruf
fianly exponent of the prize ring. In these
roles bo is an unqualified success , especially
tholatterforlam not inclined to detract from
the fellow's ability to fight. But like Jack
son , Da vies and a good many other authori
ties , the writer considers him an arrant
bully and coward , Judging from his action at
the depot last evening.
As a parting shot he exclaimed , "I'll get
that G d < l paper tomorrow and read
what you've got to say , " and promising to
endeavor to make it intercstlna and also to
mall him several copies for his fighting
scrap book , and for distribution among bis
friends , the scribe bade him "so long. "
After tlio KURD Track .Men.
NKW YOHK , April 10. Peter Delacoy , the
well known pool room keeper , and his coun
sel , M. J. Stein , assisted by the old Law and
Order society of Union county , Now Jersey ,
have raked up an old law which makes all
sorts of bettlngcomo under the head of lottery
gambling. Under that law , as it was framed ,
both civil and criminal action could bo
brought by any citizen against violators of
the law. Later the law was amended so that
criminal prosecutions could not be made
under it , but the civil clause of the act still
remains In force , although , till now , it never
lias bben tested , except in a few cases against
gambling in Ocean county. Delacoy thus hopes
to make legal matters so hot for the Elizabeth
race track that the meeting there will have
to be stopped. The same light will bo made
against MonmoutH park.

HAZEI.TON , Pa. . April 10. The trouble
which has been brewing between the Hun
garians and Italians nt Milncsvillo nnd
vicinity for some time terminated last night
in a bloody battle. As a result two men are
dead , two missing , supposed to bo lying at
the bottom of a mine shaft , and throe others
seriously injured.
About 10 o'clock last night a party of four
Hungarians were coming into town. They
reached n point about half way down
Fisher's bill , when they were attacked by
eleven Italians. The latter Instantly opened
fire. The firing was a signal for n concerted
attack by the Italians , who seemed to swarm
from the woods on every side.
About KOO yards further down a half dozen
other Huns were mot. At the school house
on the Harleigh road near by other Huns
were met. The light that ensued was tor-
rifle.

The Hungarians'who never go on the road
at night unarmed , after the first onslaught
prepared to defend themselves and tired a
volley of bullets Into the attacking Italians ,
which served to check them for a moment.
The next Instant the Italians closed In upon
their adversaries and a band to hand conflict
ensued , tbo Italians still playing havoc with
the Huns ,
The Huns were outnumbered largely ,
and becoming dismayed broke and flint pre
cipitately. The yells and whoops of the vic
torious attracted a number of people to the
scone. At each point of attack men wore
found lying on the ground groaning from
wounds.
Joseph Christie and Michael Morcnt z
were picked up unconscious und takun to the
hospital. Christie was shot in the right

CHICAGO , 111. , jAnrll 10. Covered with
chalk marks , but jp ( ppai-outly perfect con
dition , the huge yt jWblch Is to represent
at the Columbian exposition tbo climactic at
tainment of the "groat Krtipp company of
Oermany and the greatest In the world ,
reached the city at 0 o'clock Saturday night
over tlio FortWayno road. It was delivered
to the company's agent at Grand Crossing
nnd switched onto a Y between Seventy-
fifth and Seventy-sixth streets , where It re
mained through tbo night in charge of K. F.
Nohrw.ild nnd C. U Lcfbold of Allegheny
City , Pa. , inspectors and repairmen for the
railroad company.
QTho Interest attaching to the monster can
non , which brought crowds to the tracks In
every city through which It has passed In Its
long Journey from Hamburg , still continued
upon Us arrival hero. Its appearance within
the Grand Crossing yard was the signal for
the assembling ot all the small boyo in tlio
suburbs and hundreds crowded about the
train before it was switched upon the Y ,
when no soanor had It been loft upon tbo
sidetrack than tlio youngsters mounted it.
They swarmed upon It and about It un
til the great piece was covered like an tint
hill with its occupants.
But the boys of the village were by no
means in tbo minority of those attracted by
the strange freight. Men by tbo hundreds
crowded about it and expressed wonderment
at the magnitude of this , tlio giant of mod
ern implements of warfare. Women , too.
dressed variously as they had been occupied
with kitchen or parlor duties , elbowed their
way through the men and boys to get close
to the big gun.
Big policemen also from the Grand Cross
ing station wandered over to tbo tracks , and
as they gazed upon the big barrel expressed
regret that Chief McClaughry could not
adopt the same caliber for the members of
the force. About II o'clock the company's
waichman returned and the crowds were
driven away. But many traces of their
visit remained. A piece of chalk In the
pocket of a schoolboy had been passed trom
hand to band , and the urchins' mimes were
left scrawled all over both gun and bridge.
The big gun loft Baltimore April 8 and has
been on the ro.id since that time , the trip
having been made1 In daylight and at a speed
of from twelve to fifteen miles an hour. It
reached Fort Wayne Friday evening und
was not moved again until 4 o'clock Saturday
morning , when it was started for its final
destination in charge of Trainmaster C. E.
Walton and Master Mechanic A. It. Potter.
Tlio train consisted of engine No. " 05 , in
charge of Engineer Frank Leeper , tlireo gondolas
dolas or empty fiat cars.anothcr fiat car loaded
with the ornaments and tools of the gun , two
more gondolas and tbo caboose , the whole
train belnir in charge of Conductor James
Welch. The trucks upon which the gun
rested were built li/tlie Pennsylvania com
pany in IS'.U at AHOmia for this special pur
pose. They were four in number and each
supported by lvvorijiles ! with low , compact
wheels. From ono1 tb another of these trucks
was a short bridge"6f steel fastened in such
a way as to allow fretidom of motion in pass
ing over uneven' ' tracks ; from center to
center of these bMallcr bridges was thereat
roat bridge upon 'Which lay the monster

NASHVILLE , Tenn. , April 1C. This after
noon there was given to the public the fact
that John Scbardt , cashier of the Mechanics
Savings bank and Trust company , was short
In his accounts from S-10,000 to SSO.OOO.
Schardt has not been arrested , though ho is
in the city. Ho refuses to talk , saying his
attorney will not permit him to do so until
hocomes , to trial. The directors of tbo bank
have bccu in session behind closed doors all
day , and it is impossible to learn anything
from them on the shortage. It is nald that
immediately after 13 o'clock tonight the
the bank will make a general assignment ,
which is now being prepared. It is a case
of stealing and effects none of the other
bunks of the city. Scbardt has been cashier
about thrco months ; before that ho had
been teller of the bank and was implicitly
trusted. It Is stated that the discovery of a
probable shortage occurred when a check
for $1,000 was presented and the teller could
find no credits for the amount. Scharat at
that time being at home sick , tbo president
nnd directors were notified and an examina
tion was entered upon with the result of the
discovery of the shortage.
Schardt's scheme was to take deposits ,
enter them up on the pass book and not put
them upon the books of the bank. It is also
stated that Schardt has confessed to having
used $40,000 of the bank's money. He is
under bond for $20,000 and carries $ * 0,000 llfo
insurance , which it is also stated lias tiecn
transferred to the bank. Until the assign
ment is filed and the directors talk , nothing
more definite can bo learned.
During tbo recent financial flurry , caused
by the failure of the Commercial National
bank , this bank snsi > cnded payments for
one day. Upon an examination , tbo direct
ors became satisfied It was sound and re
sumed business. No trouble Is anticipated
tomorrow with the other banks as they have
passed safely through the ordeal of the
past few weeks.
Schardt lost the money ho took specula
ting in bucket shops , lie was a heavy
speculator and lost heavily. Ho is about
'M years old nnd has n family. It is under
stood that the guaranty company which
made his bond will have him arrested to
morrow. It is said that Schardt is seri
ously ill and will not recover.

SAX ANTONIO , Tex. , April 10. Wolves have
recently been playing havoc with the sheep
( locks lu the western part of the state , hav
ing since the first of the year killed hundreds
of thorn. Although practically everything
known to the farmers for ridding themselves
of the pests has been tried , nothing has
proved successful and the killing still
goes on. ,
. J , M. Campbell , an extensive sheepman
near li"re , has , however , hit UIKJII a novel
plan , which , If it proves successful , will bo
worth thousands of dollars to the sheep
Interests of Texas annually.
The scheme is the inoculation of a disease
among the posts. In order to do this ho re
cently trapped several wolves and penned
them up with n dog which was badly affected
with the mange. The wolves soon caught
the disease and are now thoroughly covered
with tlio parasites of the disease. They
were turned loose and Mr. Camrbcll expects
them to spread the mango among the
wolves so rapidly that there will not bo ono
of them left in Texas in two years. They
live together and the disease will spread
rapidly. It Is incurable and no animal hav
ing it will brood.

Nnw YOIIK. April 10 A decision has been
handed down by Judge Townsend in the
United States circuit court in the protected
suit of A. C. Black of Edinburgh , publisher
of the Encyclopedia Britannica , against
Funk and Wannals and the Henry G. Allen
company of this city for tbo piracy of their
publication , and it is In favor of the plaintiffs
nnd permanently enjoins the defendants
from manufacturing or selling reprints.
Tlio defendants published what was known
as the Scribner Encyclopedia. In the Edin
burgh edition there were articles which were
copyrighted and the same embraced in the
American edition , the plates of which wore
made by photographic process from the Eng
lish edition. H was the production of the
copyrighted articles that led to tnc contro

Judge Townsend holds that the copyright
was infringed on and that the injunction
must stand against the defendants.
