Man in the Ring
COIJIU SOON GEI IN I RIM
i he Big Fellow Says the Report that
it Takes Him a Long Time to Get
in Trim is Erroneous and he
Quickly Reduces Weight.
Big Jim Jeffries, who was seen at
t last night in 'Davy Crock
fight. Nut since the stun
i or of 1303, v hen he for the seconu
time put Fti zsimnions out, lias tin
champion had u real, nice, cozy scrap.
Nr wonder ti t a setting that restless
t.cl.ng.
And James is ready. Isn't there
some large and husky athlete, nitty
with the dukes, in America or Kits,
land who wo Tl hi like to take a try at
the tile? It there is. Jeffries is his
: an, and it would he exactly to the
latter’s liking. The land is wide ami
there is no dearth of men a:- milky as
the holder or the hill, but somehow
or other the sweeping challenges have
hlien on barren ground. Maybe tin
t manner in which be handed the pills
to Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Gus Rhulin,
util numerous others, did more to in
sill into the molds of the. rest a let it
•jo there feeling than an aggressive
one.
"Vt,." said Jeffries yesterday when
eiieslioned on the subject hv a New?
reporter, "I wouldn't mind a fight, f
now weigh about 230 and in a few
weeks could to down at my battling
twin 220 pounds. This talk Lliat has
been spread about me having lo wort
awfully hard lo get In shape is a lot
,r bluff and there Is nothing in it: I
think that I proved this to many when
the log weigh' were so hot after the
11 tie. then Uiey were given a rev,
loiit Is about the maite- and slnei
(iien f have been wishing lor someone
< Be (o take a notion to give ,i few

Then leff look a swing or two
r roll lit 1 "the lobby to stretch ills legs
mid Delaney took his seat. ' It's just
this way” the trainer said, “Jeff ha:
knocked the best of 'em about svo
ii.neb that the people out. near ’Frisco
uo not want to make up a purse worth

DRUG STORE Wr
_ SOLD YESMY
f mm
Knocked Down to Lamar,
Riley & Taylor, of Ma
con, for $5,350
AGAIN OPIN FOR BUSINESS
Immediately Alter Sale was Confirmed
Under the
of the John Morgan Q
Drug Store.
The stock accounts, etc., ot
the Morgal Drug Store wore sold at
public outcry 1 y Referee A. J. Crovatt
yesterday at neon. The sale attracted
a large number (lie
b deling was quite lively.
The referee first offered the stock,
fixtures, accounts, ets., separately, but
the amount tl ev brought not being
a very large amount, il was decided to
I lit up everything in a bulk, and the
entire stock, etc., was bought in by
i a mar, Riley & Taylor, of Macon, for
$6 350.00. Th-ro were severs, bidders
end for awhile it looked as if the drug
store would brag seven or eight thous
red dollars.
Trustee Crovatt immediately report
ed the sale to Referee Isaac and it
v. as confirmed although Kay, Bennet
rnd Conyers, attorneys for the bank
rupts, tited an objection on the ground
that the purchasers had gone ahead
previous to the sale and leased the
..building, thus keeping away prospec
tive bidders. The claim was also
r. tide that the price the store brought
would only pn- the general creditors
about 45 per cent, while the Macon
ding firm had already offered to pay
the secured creditors In full and to
pay the general creditors fifty per cent
Referee fcwr.C held, however, that
the leasing o the building and the
pievimiß offer of the druggists had
nothing whatever to do with the sale
ind was a matter in which he had
i.o jurisdiction therefore the sale was
c i ntirmed.
As soon as the referee passed an or
der confirmin', the sale the drug store
on* opened 1. John K. Mingan, the
lc mier manage!, who will be in charge
of the store hereafter.
Mr. Morgan when seen by a News
reporter last night, stated that just
at pr scent he did not have any au
t ,mincemeat t make concerning the
future of the business, but it will be
conducted by him as formerly under
