NEW YORK, March s. Special
Jack Hopper was whipped last night
by western Jack Dempsey. 1t was not
decisive victory by any means. The
New York boy fought from the second
round with one hand and only sue
cumbed when by another accident his
left hand was injured. 1t was hot
battle from start to finish, and both
men showed wonderful pluck and
gameness. There was considerable
difficulty in bringing off the battle.
First New York was tried, then HO-
boken, and finally Pleasant'Valley was
selected as the site. The fight was very
much in Hopper's favor up to the tenth
round which was severe one, but it
was noticed that Hopper was not
using his right hand. FallOn,
Dempsey's second, saw this,
and cried out to his man, but
Dempsey seemed to respect that
famous right. This western man was
a terrible sight, but his pluck and Hop
per's crippled condition really won
him the fight. He pounded the New
Y ork boy all over the ring, and in the
concluding round knocked him down
no less than three times Gamely did
Hopper try to rise, but his arms were
gone, and reluctantly the referee de-
clared the western wonder the winner

EATEN BY WOLVES.
Account of the Terrible Death of an Aged
Kansas Farmer.

WINNOw, Kan, March Especial. +
A horrible story comes from Poplar
Grove, a small town thirty miles south
east of Fort Totten. A farmer sent
his son out, on Saturday morning, to
clear a path to the hay stack, several
rods away. He had been shoveling
snow for a half an hour, when his cries
were heard in the house. The old man
seized his shot gun and rushed out in
time to see his son surrounded by q
pack of wolves, which were killug
him. After firing both barrels without
effect he dubbed his gun and made
most desperate effort to defend him
self, but was poweriess against the
wolves. From the windows of the
house his agonized wife and children
witnessed the one sided fight. Resist
ance did not last long and then for an
hour the wolves feasted upon their
victim. The woman did not dare leave
her house and was compelled to remain
there until neighbors came. Crushed
bones, tleshless and with the clothing
torn to shreds, alone showed where the
battle had taken place. That part of
the territory is sparsely settled and the
people, thoroughly terrorized by the
occurrence, have armed themselves.
