SEND HORSES TO
SHOUPJAY MINE
Six horses were sent to Shoup bay
Monday night by the Gold King Min
ing company to be used in hauling
the company freight from the lirst
bench of Sliottp glacier to the base
of the mountain near the mine. The
horses were taken down on a ligiiter.
Supl. Crawford looked after the load
ing of fttie lighter and will take per
sonal charge of the work of freight
ing and opening thtt mine.
Libeled by a Horse.
BERLIN.—-Butzow, in Mecklenburg,
has the distinction of being the tirst
town where an inhabitant has been
libeled- by a talking horse. Recently
a talking horse connected with a
traveling circus was instructed by its
trainer to select from the audience
he woman who was most in love.
The intelligent animal sought out an
elderly spinster who was present with
her fiance, whereat shouts of laughter
arose from the audience. The laughter
developed into unpleasant jesting,
which continued outside the tent.
Finally, the fiance, losig his temper,
[drew a revolver and lired a shot,
which was merely intended to fright
en the jesters off. The victim now
claims damages for assault, while the
spinster sues the circus proprietor for
the insult perpetrated by the talk
ing horse.
Johnson to Fight June 27.
PARIS, March 18.—June 27 was
chosen last night as the date for the
tight for (he world’s heavyweight
championship between Jack Johnson
and Frank Moran, of Pittsburgh. This
date was set after a meeting between
Johnson and the promoters of the
fight. The Velodrome d’Hiver, which
has a seating capacity of 35,000, was
chosen as the place for holding the
contest. All the details of the fight
have now been arranged except as to
who will be the referee. He will be
chosen later. As the date for the
contest coincides with that of the
Grand Prix, the blue ribbon turf event
in France, it is expected that a large
crowd will witness the encounter.
Snow Melting on Mars.
BOSTON.- The so-called canals of
I Mars are now exhibiting striking sea
j sonal developments, according to Dr.
i Percival Lowell, of the Flagstae, Ariz.,
j observatory. In a dispatch received
i here recently Dr. Lowell said: “The
j north polar cap of flhe planet is nielt
! ing and the canals are strongest and
: darkest near the edge of the cap.”
This agres with Dr. Lowell’s theory
, that the melting of snow at the Mar
I
j tian pole produces floods that sweep
J southward and produce the color
; changes in the canals.
