TOLSTOI GAMP
LOOKING BETTER
ILL THE TIME
(Ruby Record-Citizen.)
Information has been obtained from
a reliable source to the effect that
Ernest Beatty, formerly of Iditarod,
and Max Minard, a one time Rubyite,
have taken an option from Arthur
Eaton on No. 2, Boob creekj terms, j
$600 down and $6,000 to be paid. They
have found pay at from $2 to $3 a
foot.
George Riley, of Otter, and Peter
Mounier, his partner, have purchased
the ground belonging to Grier and Me-'
Nulty on Boob as also the ground I
belonging to James Pitcher.
The best pay, however, has been
found near the trail on ground which
they call Devereaux’s Camp, because i
Jack Devereaux once had a tent there
in which he stored feed when he was
freighting on the Diskaket trail to
Ophir.
A number of people are coming into
the Tolstoi camp for the winter.
Among them are newcomers and old
timers with a winter’s grubstake.
It is rumored that W. A. Vinal
states that there are two miles of pay I
in sight on Boob creek.
Mrs. I. Stanford has the distinction!
of possessing the first finished build-;
ing in the camp, her house being 40
by 20 feet. She is now having logs
hauled for the construction of an ex-1
tension.
Other buildings are going up now.
Pete Jorgensen is erecting one 37 by;
47 feet, and has sold another to Griffis
& Haley for a store.
There is no postoffice in Tolstoi,
mail stopping at Ophir. However, dog
teams will be run twice a month to
Ophir to get postal matter this winter.
NOTICE.
The art and literature department:
of the Anchorage Woman’s club will1
meet Thursday, December 28, at 2 p. j
m., in the Chamber of Commerce. All
members who are interested are cordi-;
ally invited to attend.

RIO DE JANEIIIO, Dec. 5.—(By
Mail.)—A wandering American ath
lete barnstormed into this city to “cop
a little easy money” and got a broken
jaw for his pains.
He was a good boxer. He said so
himself. He said it in the newspapers
and offered two hundred dollars gold
to whosoever would stay ten rounds
with him.
Nothing doing. The “box” is a
game foreign to Brazil. Well, he
could wrestle. He offered the same
prize to whosoever would remain fif
teen minutes with him on the mat.
Again nothing doing. The full Nelson,
hammerlock and toe holds are mythi
cal propositions to Brazil. The third
challenge offered the purse for any
style of fighting which the Brazilian
athletes would be pleased to name.
Then there was something doing.
In a packed theatre the boxer-wrest
ler stepped out to meet the “come
on.” They shook hands, backed away
and closed. The boxer’s right shot to!
where the Brazilian’s jaw should have
been. It was not there. The other’s 1
open left hand came back to the box-!
er’s face and swung him a fraction j
of an inch off his balance. The Bra- j
zilian dropped onto his hands with!
the agility of a cat. His right foot j
swept under the boxer and as he fell j
the left foot caught him full on the'
neck and jaw.
About a month later the American!
athlete was discharged from the hos-;
pital. The lump on his jaw where the
compound fracture healed was put I
there by “capoeiragem,” the “manly |
art of self-defense” as the Brazilian!
understands it.
Capoeiragem originated with the
negro slaves in the Brazil of old days,:
and it is the only game played in this j
country that is of truly national or-1
igin. Played or fought as the run-,
away slaves, cornered by their pur
suers fought it, capoeiragem was1
bloody and often fatal to both op-j
ponents.
When in deadly earnest, the “cap-1

oeira” held a knife or razor between
his toes, a trick easily managed by
those who ran barefoot all their lives
and who practiced the game from in
fancy.
Today the game has developed into
a science, is taught in the gymnasium,
and is one of the school boy’s chief
amusements during play hours. There
are no fouls. No part of the body is
free from attack, and every part of
the body is in full play. As a means
of self-defense, its supporters claim
it is more efficient than boxing.
