Team Stolen.
On Sunday evening William Shires hired
a team of E. S. Weaver, and drove to Mar-
ietta. Mr. Shires tied the horse at a black-
smith shop near Hiestand’slumberyard and
when he came for it to return home, the
team was gone. The supposition is that
some person took the team and drove off.
Mr. Shires returned home afoot and told
Mr. Weaver of his mishap. On Monday
morning Weaver drove to Marietta, and
upon inquiry was told of a team that an-
| swered the description of the missing one.
He at once drove to Rowenna, and a short
distance north of that place, he found his
team, a bay horse with four white feet
hitched to a red running-gear buggy. The
horse was tied to the fence and the team
was alright in every particular, save the
whip and blanket which were gone. Mr.
Weaver, returned with the team that after-
noon.

VANDERBILT AS A BOXER.
Millionaire New Yorker Is Handy
with His Fists and Delights in
the Rough Exercise.
William K. Vanderbilt, Jr, is a lover
of sports in general, although he is not
carried away with any of them in par-
ticular. He is, however, a clever boxer
and likes on occasions to have a friend-
ly bout with some of his friends. His
teacher at the New York Athletic club
regrets that young Vanderbilt should
waste as an amateur abilities that
might win for him a belt and distine-
tion in the professional ring. There are
other amateur boxers of social distine-

tion in New York who are so expert
that their friends have asserted that
they could knock out most profession-
als in their class. A dozen friends of
one such amateur learned to their
cost some time ago that their confi-
dence was misplaced. The amateur
has held a commission in a crack na-
tional guard organization and he was
in his college days a skilled oa®man.
He was not averse to a friendly little
mill with a well-known professional if
it could be “pulled off” without pub-
licity. A room was engaged in Brook-
lyn and the whole affair was arranged
with the greatest secrecy. The pro-
fessional brought over with him three
friends who were sworn to silence.
The amateur’s friends came in small
parties and when time was called for
the first round everyone settled down
for a sporting evening. It lasted only
four rounds and then the amateur was
knocked out. The professional was
generous enough to say that he had
proved a “hard proposition,” but that
did not wipe out defeat.
