DIXON WHIPS WILLIS
The Boston COlOred Boy Wins in
Five Rounds.
He Had the Advantage In Reach-The Aus
tralian Was no Match for Him
He Was Game.

SAN Francisco, July 2S.-George Dixon
of Boston, and Abe Willis. OF Australia,
fought at the California Athletic club TO-
night for purse of 5000 and the bantam
weight championship of the world, Dixon
winning the fight in the fifth round. Willis
was practically unknown to many here,
and the betting before the fight was ia
Dixon's favor. Hiram Cook was referee.
Time was called at S:45. In the preliminary
sparring Dixon showed great advantage
in reach. He soon led, catching Willis on
the jaw and sending him down. When he
arose there was the hveliest kind OF rally
and hard fighting at close quarters, Dixon
having the best OF it.
In the second, Dixon planted swinging
left on the Australians jaw. Several sharp
replies and much clinching followed.
In the third, after cautious sparring,
Dixon landed left and right handler on
Willis body and jaw, but without much eff
feet
In the fourth, Dixon rushed and landed
on Willis jaw and body several times, re-
ceiving two sharp raps in turn.
In the fifth round, after some sharp ID
terchanges, in which Dixon nit harder and
oftener. he caught the Australian on the
jaw with his left and sent him down.
Willis rose on his hands and knees and
took his ten seconds on the floor. He arose
then but was not able to do much in the
rally that followed, and Dixon's right soon
came in contact with Willis jaw and the
latter went down fiat on his back. He fell
heavy and lay like a log. When the ten
seconds expired Willis seconds had TO lift
him from the floor. Dixon was declared
the winner The colored man seemed as
strong as when the fight commenced.

CORTLAND, n. Y, July 2S.-Early yes
terday morning George Freize, employed
on farm, went to the pasture. he had
just sat on milking stool when a vicious
bull came toward him. There was no
chance to run so F'reize picked up hay
fork that was beside him and when the
bull charged on him, Freize sprang to one
side and planted the fork firmly in his ribs
as he rushed passed. Crazed with pain,
the bull swung around and charged down
on the farm hand. Once more the sharp
prongs OF the fork penetrated his side, but
before Freize could recover himself the in
furated beast was in front of him The
bull knocked Freize from his feet and
hurled his fork from his hands. The bull
charged again Just as FreiZe was regaln1ng
his feet and seizing him on his horns tossed
him in the air, catching him on his horns
again and tossing hun backwards. The
cries Of the man and believing OF the bull
were heard by Henry Brickman. The lat
ter hurried 10 the assistance of FREEZE and
arrived in time to see EreiZe laying IN
conscious on the ground. Standing over
him was the bull frantically paving the
dying man. When the beast saw Brick
man approaching he took Freize on his
horns aud tossed him in the air over rail
fence fully ten feet distant. Brickman sum-
moned aid and had FreiZe removed TO the
farm house. Be never regained conscious
ness. Early this morning he died. Three
of his ribs had been broken and pressed in
so as TO puncture the lungs. His side was
badly goared and his intestines were liter
ally laid bare.

The Pocatello Town Lot Sale.

PoCATELLo Ida, July Especial tele-
gram TO THE HERALD. The town lot sale
has been more spirited and higher prices
were paid than at any time since the sale
began. No lot sold under 800, and one
was knocked down at s., 625. Mrs. Dris-
coil, CT this city, being the purchaser. The
total amount of sales today is over 81. 900.
1t is understood special land agent from
the interior department is in the city keep
ing an eye on the sale. 1t is expected to-
morrow the lots will go much higher than
10 day, as there are number of investors
from Montana, Colorado, Utah, and differ
ent parts of this state anxious to secure
good business blocks and willing to pay big
prices for the same. Contrary to expecta-
tions only little trouble has occurred so
far. A number of people are intens ely
wrought up, but IL is thought they will be
kapt within bounds.
1t is now pretty well understood w. S.
Boreland, clerk of the inland Office at
Blackfoot, will accompany Senator Dubois
to the national capital next fall in the ca
pacity OF private secretary. Mr.. Boreland
will neither deny nor confirm the report, all
of which is taken as evidence.
No little excitement was caused in rail
road circles when twas understood party
headed by Jay Gould was expected 10 pass
through the city soon, perhaps tomorrow.
1t is not known how authentic the report is.

Welsh lin Plate Works

LONDON, July 2S.-The resumption of the
Welsh tin plate works is only partial and
by firms fortunate enough to secure orders.
Work will only continue while the orders
last by week to week contracts with the
men. No appreciable reduction of stocks
in America is noticed; prices are still unre-
munerative. During July the shipments
from Swansea have been under
1000 tons as against 10000 to
$500 tons IN the same month
in 1890, while the stock now on hand will
amount TO 400, $40 boxes, against 1880, 600
boxes in the corresponding week in 1890.

before trade becomes brisk again, but gen.
eral confidence Is felt among the manufac-
turers that trade will regulate itself within
six months. The threatened American
competition causes no serious alarm TO

the outcome of inquiries of American
agents for labor. II the masters here do

SAN Francisco, July ga Chronicle
Los Angeles special says: An officer of the
Charleston gives it as his opinion that II
Balmsceda succeeds in getting his three
ships from France the war will be prscti-
cally ended. The insurgents regard their
appearance on the Gillian coast with
horror. Balmaceda holds the southern part
Of Chilli, which is the food producing part
of the country. He has money, Is
feeding his troops, paying them and can
prolong the war. The congressionalists
have no money, little food and hold only
the north part of the country, which Is not
food producing. Contrary to reports, the
officer states there has been
practically no naval fighting, the sinking
OF the Blanca was the only thing done
during the whole war worth mentioning.
The officer says further, the dispatches
sent over the wires by either party are
totally unreliable, as they are doctored to
suit. In Iqui1ue there is no money, every
firm issuing its own currency. The money

French sailors Entertained at Cronstadt.

CRoNsTADT, July 2S.-The dinner given
to the French sailors yesterday at the
Cronstadt exchange was marked by lesser
degree of official character than any of the
previous festivities. About three hundred
visitors were present and all toasts of a
significant nature were drunk amid the ut
most enthusiasm. During the entertain
nent the officers of the French feet ap-
peared upon the balcony of the exchange
where enormous crowds of people greeted
them with frantic cheers and fought and
struggled 10 get a piece of the tri color
flags which the French officers detached
from the decorations of the exchange and
threw among the populace shouting at the
same time "Vive la Russie." The people
ABOUT the exchange responded to these cries
with "Vive la France" and in every way
the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. The
crowds also several times insisted upon
hearing ''Marseillaise.
