GREAT mIDDLEwEIGHr FIGHT.
Fitzsimmons Confident of winning-Offers
Big Odds on Himself.

ST.. PAUL, MINI, July 13.-When
shown the Beloit dispatch, in which
Parson Davies expressed the belief that
Jim Hall would win the fight on July
90, Bob Fitzsimmons said: 81 express
ed my confidence by placing Sc, 900 on

The Minnesota Athletic Club Is con-
structing an amphitheater in a central
location, near st. Paul, for the battle
between Bob Fitzsimmons, of New Yea
land, and Jim Hall, of Australia, for
Sl2, 900 and the middleweight champion
ship OF America, which Is to be fought
on July %. The building will hold
nearly eight thousand spectators. There
will be reserved seats for newspaper
men round the outer ring. Then rows
OF boxes numbering 120. Outside the
boxes will be the reserved seats. It is
expected fully 5000 spectators will Jour-
ney here to witness the fight, for already
reserved seats and boxes have been en-
gagged by sporting men who are coming
from the Pacific coast, Denver, Lead
vile and adjacent cities.
1t Is expected there will be no hitch
over the referee, as the Minnesota
Athletic Club will select a responsible
man. There will be dispute over the
gloves, as Fitzsimmons is eager to fight

SOMETHING OF A MYSTERY.
Headless, ARMIES and Legless BODY
Found Near Denver, Colorado.

DENVER, CoLo., July 1.-two ranch
men have discovered the headless, arm
less and legless body OF man in the
Platte river, two miles below this city.
There was bullet through the heart.
No marks OF Identification were found
on the body and the whole case Is
shrouded in mystery. The body was
full of small holes that had been eaten
by the fishes, but one hole differed from
the others in that it showed signs OF
bruises and inflammation. This hole was
about an inch in diameter and directly
over the heart. Chief of City Detectives
Samuel Howe, is OF the opinion that the
remnants are of subject from some
diasecting table, or else it has been in
the water so long that fishes and de-
composition have done the work Of
manning. As no man has been reported
missing of late and as there is so little
to work on in unravelling the mystery,
it will probably remain unsolved.
Other officials declare it to be the
Russian messenger who was reported to
have come as far as Denver and then
lost sight Of. One, it is true, was re-
ported, subsequent to the Chicago tele-
gram which gave rise to something OF a
sensation several weeks ago, to have
gone on a steamer toward Europe.

BARON LAaERFELT's PROPERTY.
The Claim of the Keystone Bank Has
Not Yet Been Paid.
p,ftsblfr0 Post


J. II. Hayes, the cashier Of the Key
stone National Bank, was seen last night
concerning the alleged settlement OF the
claim OF the bank against Baron Lager
felt, who disappeared about year ago
under unfavorable circumstances. he
stated the money the Baron had Dor
rowed from that institution was still
unpaid. Neither the Baron nor his
friends, II he has any, have made any
effort to settle the deialcation OF the
titled foreigner. Mr.. Hayes said the
story concerning the house and lot
which the Baron purchased from Mel
lon & Sons was brief.
He paid $500 down when he got pos
session of the property, but never paid
any more. He did not get deed for
the property, and consequently never
had title for 1t. The bank at
tached almost everything in sight be-
longing to the baron, and this property
was among the lot. While the bank
claimed possession OF the property IL
tried to sell it, but never was able to
get q price sufficiently large to reimburse
it and pay all prior indebtedness. A
desirable sale seemed hopeless, and
rather than insist upon claim which
would probably lead to further legal en-
tanglement the bank relinquished its
claim and turned the property over to
Mellon Bros, who sold 1t for S15, 900.
The banks claim against Baron Lager
| felt Is $1,000.

BEFORE HER EYES.
a Young Man Drowned While With His
Sweetheart.


PITTsBURG, July 13.-Passengers on
the Connellsvile accommodation
brought intelligence OF sad drowning.
A young man in trying to save his
sweetheart's hat lost his own life.
Thomas Henderson was the son OF
well-to-do farmer living about two
miles from Boston, on the Youghio-
gheny river and Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road. He was engaged to marry
young lady named Owens, who lives at
McKeesport.
Yesterday Miss Owens and several OF
her girl acquaintance went out on the
Il. & 0. church train to Boston, and
were driven over to the Henderson farm
to spend the day. In the afternoon the
party, reinforced by several farmer boys
of the neighborhood, went out boating
on the Youghiogheny. Young Fender
son and his sweetheart were in one boat
and the remainder OF the party in an
other.
While in the middle of the river Miss
Owens hat suddenly blew into the
stream. Henderson Immediately turned
the boat around and pulled up to the
floating hat. He leaned over to pick 1t
up, and in some way lost his balance,
falling into the river. The boat almost
capsized, aud Miss Owens nearly follow
ed her sweetheart into the Youghio-
gheny.
Henderson could not swim stroke
and he Immediately sank. He came up
once and Miss Owens threw him an oar,
but he seemed to have lost his presence
of mind and made no attempt to catch
1t, although it 1oated against him.
Miss Owens screamed frantically and
brought the other boat TO her side
in time to see Mr.. Henderson sink for
the last time. Miss Owens was almost
crazed with grief and had to be held to
prevent her from jumping after her
lover. The river is being dragged for
the body.
