Gunther and Whitehead fo Fight. Duluth papers announce that Walter Whitehead, the Duluth colored pugilist who clams the heavy- weight championship of the north- fifteen-round battle with George Gunther, colored middle-weight, known as the “Melbourne Kan- garoo.” The place of battle has been announced as “before one one of the Michigan fight clubs,” but will undoubtedly be pulled off much nearer home. ‘Whitehead has been putting a lot of “lemons” in the squared arena over on the range, and Gunther was brought to Duluth from Phila- delphia to take the Duluth “scrap- per’s’” measure. Those who saw Gunther knock out Ben Tremble about a month ago are of the opinion that he will de- feat Whitehead; and it is likely that several Bemidji “sports” will take in the fight, when itis learned at what point the battle will occur. The Veto Was “Warm.” Brakeman Frank Coppersmith,who runs on the M. & I. day passenger train, reports that his train crew now stops over night at Funkley and that he had a “fierce” time of it last night, owing to the sudden cold wave which struck that village. “We stayed at the ‘Defunct’ hotel,” said Frank, “and as the blankets were decidedly thin and the weather was cold, I laid two St. Paul Pioneer Presses over me and placed a Be- midji Daily Pioneer at my feet. Along about 3 o’clock I awoke, shivering all over my body but my feet were warm. TUpon investiga- tion, I found that I had placed my feet over that message to ‘Doc’ Rutledge from St. Paul telling of the governor’s veto of the tonnage tax bill. So, carefully spreading the Bemidji Daily Pioneer with the veto message next to me, I slept comfort- ably until morning.” Weatherby is Raising Ginseng.

FIVE OF THE CREW LOST Ship Goes Down Immediately Follow- ing Collision, but Nine of Those on Board Manage to Escape—Was on First Trip of Season and Was Loaded With Grain From Milwau- kee for Port Huron. Mackinaw City, Mich.,, April 21.— Five members of the crew of the steamer Eber Ward, grain laden from Milwaukee for Port Huron, were drowned when the steamer sank in Lake Michigan after striking a heavy ice floe about six miles west of this port. Nine members of the crew.were saved. The dead are John Horn, James Perry, John Mebaroth, Kinney McKay and an unknown deckhand. The Ward was a small steamer 213 feet in length, built in 1834 and was owned by D. M. Ferry & Co. of De- troit. She left Milwaukee several days ago on her first trip of the sea- son, loaded with grain. Shortly be- fore entering the straits of Mackinaw ihe steamer crashed into an unusually heavy ice floe. She sank almost im- mediately in deep water. The Eber Ward stayed afloat but three minutes after colliding with the ice floe. It was just long enough to enable another steam barge to steam alongside and take off the deck of the ‘Ward the persons whose lives were saved. The five victims are supposed to have been asleep below when the collision occurred. NEGRO BOY'S TERRIBLE ACT Feeds Baby to Hogs and Fatally Wounds Two Other Children. New Orleans, April 2l.—Incensed because his stepmother had left him at home near Opelousas, La., in charge of his two young stepbrothers and a stepsister Tom Godfrey, a twelve-year-old negro boy, fed the youngest of his charges to the hogs and later with an axe inflicted what will probably prove fatal wounds on the heads of the other children. The stepmother reported the triple crime to the parish authorities and Tom was placed in jail at Opelousas. She said she found the baby in the pen with the hogs when she returned home. Its hands and feet had been eaten off, but it was still alive. She straight- way whipped Tom and when she went for a doctor to attend the baby Tom seized an axe and attacked his six- year-old stepbrother, inflicting several deep wounds. His young stepsister interfered and he crushed her skull with the axe. The girl is dying and the other two children have little chance for recovery. AMERICAN SLAIN IN PERSIA Killed Leading Expedition to Secure Food for Tabriz. Tabriz, Persia, April 21.—An Amer- ican named Baskerville, who until re- cently was a teacher in the Presby- terian school here, was killed outside Tabriz while leading a sortie of na- tionalists from the city. The object of the expedition was to open a way for the bringing in of provisions, of which the city stands greatly in need. It was not successful. The situation here is desperate. The Christians of Tabriz are arming them- selves and will put up a strong de- fense during the bloody disorders that are expected to break out any day. The English residents have sent a telegram to Foreign Secretary Gray at London appealing for immediate help. The Russians have taken refuge at the Russian consulate. : SAVING BOYS IS THEIR AIM Campaign of Educatwn for Wayward Lads Begun in Boston.

RUSSIAN SHIPMENTS UNUSUALLY HEAVY Patten Forced to Buy to Keep Up Wheat Prices. Chicago, April 21.—Russla, whose crop possibilities are always an enig- ma to traders owing to the absence of reliable statistics, was at the back of a bear drive which sent July wheat off an additional 2 cents on the board of trade. - July options dropped to $1.14% early in the session, a decline over night of 214 cents and of 4% cents since Saturday’s close. Russian shipments of 2,000,000 bush- els, compared with 216,000 bushels at the same time a year ago, was a potent influence with speculators. At the opening of the market here the bears were in the saddle, rejolc- ing at the aid from the czar’s domin- fons. Commission houses executed a huge number of selling orders, includ- ing sales on uncovered stop loss in- structions. James A. Patten, the bull leader, chewing gum as is his habit when not chewing a cigar, regarded the black board in his office intently for a solld half hour after the opening. At $114% Mr. Patten brushed through a crowd of reporters and vis: ited the board. His purchases, while not large, had the effect of creating sympathetic buying for a turn and July recovered to $1.15. Later in the day July wheat was suddenly forced off to $1.12%, 4 cents under the previous day’s close, and May dropped in leaps and bounds to $1.2215, a net loss of 414 cents.
