much for our man. Jack wrote me that
he knew that several inches advantage in

heard nothing direct from Jack, and don't
know whether he's in condition to send
any word tonight, but in the
morning you'll see that he'll say that he
was fairly beaten. Jack is as honest as the
day is long and will acknowledge it when
he has met better man. There won't be
any talk about return match either.

Portland sports in Mourning.

PORTLAND, Jan. 14.--[Special. Never
before has the sporting fraternity of Port
land taken so much interest in the result
of fight as was exhibited regarding the
outcome of the Dempsey Fitzsimmens con-
test tonight. Bulletin boards were put up
in different parts of the city, and anxious
crowds gathered around them. Long before
the hrst bulletins of the fight were re-
ceived the walks were so crowded
that pedestrians had to use the
streets. Enthusiasm ran high, for every
one wanted to see Dempsey win. Demp-
sey is by many considered Portland boy,
although his home is in Seattle, and the
sympathy of the entire sporting fraternity
was with him. The first news was received
with breathless silence, and with each sue
cessive round enthusiasm waned, till the
end was announced. Dlsappointmenta and
sorrow was then depicted on every coun-
tenance. The entire fraternity is in mourn
ing, although only about 5000 changed
hands

Worthless Fellow Attempts to

HE WILL PROBABLY SUCCEED.
A Longshoreman Shot and Perhaps
Fatally Wounded This Morning
in the Adelaide saloon.

John Lund, disreputable fellow, aged
about 30, sought to end his life this morn
ing about o'clock by taking large dose
of morphine, in the Rainier saloon, on
Jackson street, at the corner of Fourth.
The fellow has been living with the no.
torious woman, who goes by the nick
name of Cowboy Mary" and last night
she cast him off, which affected him
so much that he was weeping
when met by a PosT-ISTELLIeEScEH
reporter about L O'Clock. In response to
a question as to the cause of his grief,
Lund told the story of his girl giving
him the shake"
AT the time mentioned he entered the
Rainier saloon and said to those who were
with him. "Boys, am in trouble, (" and
walking toward the rear of the saloon,
swallowed the contents of package OF
morphine He then entered the Morning
Star saloon, across the alley, and IN
a short time became unconscious.
A doctor was sent for and in about hall

nounced the case doubtful, though he
hoped to be able 10 pull him through.
Lund has been in the city about two and
a-balf years. He is paperhanger by
trade, but has strong aversion to labor.

The fight at New Orleans was the chief
topic of conversation in public places yes
terday, and particularly where any num-
Der of the members of the sporting fratern-
ity were congregated.
Early in the evening crowds began TO
gather at the PosT-INTELLIGENCER Office
and other points where it was understood
bulletins from the battle would be given
out, and while the sporting men thronged
the big saloons, before the newspaper offices
there were no less interested gatherings,
among which were many prominent citi-
zens. The center of interest probably was
the saloon on Washington street, which
bears Jack DeInpsey's name in big letters.

sidewalk in front, and over a thousand
men stood in the street within hearing dis

heads to hear the latest news as it was
read inside and then passed on from those
in front TO Others pressing up close be-

There was little opp ortunity for cheer
ing. BY far the greatest number in the
sporting crowd were ardent Dempsey ad-
nlirers, and they had put up nearly every
dollar they could raise on his success, Civ
ing odds of ten to seven or larger, but
from the first they received no encour-
agement. The bulletins gave them
nothing except bad news, but they hoped
against hope. When the report OF the
ninth round came, and Dempsey's weak
and dazed condition was learned. looks OF
blank amazement began TO take the place
OF the flush of expectancy and hope. The
nnal result came a few moments later, and
the words "Dempsey's knocked out,

Life After Forty.


The best half of life is in front of the
man Of 10, if he be anything of a man.
The work he will do will be done with the
hand of master, and not of a raw ap-
prentice. The trained intellect does not
see men as trees walking" but sees everv-
thing clearly and in just measure. The
trained temper does not rush at work like
blind bull at a haystaek; but advances
with the calm and ordered pace of con.
scious power and deliberate determine
ton. To no man is the world so new and
the future so fresh as to him who has
spent the early years of his manhood in
striving 10 understand the deeper prob
lens of science and life, and who has
made some Roadway toward comprehend
ing them. To him the commonest things
are rare and wonderful, both in themselves
and as parts of beautiful and intelligent
whole. Such a thing as staleness in life
and its duties he cannot understand.
knowledge IS always opening out before
him IN wider expanses and more comr
handing heights. The pleasure of crowd
ing knowledge and increasing powe-
makes every year of his life happier an
more hopeful than the last.

Dempsey, did he?" he moaned; "well,
that knocks me-"
How do account for it? You might
as we'll ask man to account for spots on

can't be accounted for. 1t may be like
this: Dempsey has trained too often,
and it is not actual fighting, but training
that breaks a man up. Well,

now" and the big fellow heaved a four
horsepower sigh. HE will never recover
from this licking. The poor fellows heart
