who had predicted an easy victory for
Slavn
The betting here, as well as in the East
and in England, favored the white man
because il was generally thought that Jack
son would not last long under the sledge-
hammer blows that Slayin was known to be
capable of administering to an opponent.
Sports who had seen Jackson in battle
with Godfrey and C0rbett came to the co n
clusion that he was not Furnishing hitter,
or in other words he was una BILE to deliver a
Knockout blow, and that while he would
be engaged in the tiresome task of jabbing
his opponent into insensibility SlaVin
would land one of his wicked swings and
put the colOred man to sleep.
The unexpected happened, however, and
SlaYn, although he fought wickedly, was
powerless TO land either Of his big bunches
of fves on spot which would make him
the victorious champion. Jackson must
have been in magnificent condition. 1t has
been frequently said of him that when he is
at himself to use pugillstic phrase, there
is no fighter living who has sure thing"
Of defeating him.
He is now champion of Australia and
England. and shOHid Sullivan and COrbett

Der next, the winner will have an oppOr-
tunity Of meeting the cOl0red man purposely
to decide the title of the worlds champion

sullivan says tDat lie Will not ngnt COL
oTed man, but this statement must be taken
with some allowances as Mr.. Fulla, the
past president of the California Athletic
Club, is in possession of document which
Sullivan had signed and which states that he
(Sulliyan) would meet Jackson in contest
10 a fnish before the California Club.
However, the defeat of SlaYin by jackson
will improve Corbett's stock in trade to
some extent, but when the time draws near
for erOSs-c0unterS and uppeF-cuts, etc, the

AN IOWA TRAGEDY.
a Business Man of Council Bluffs waylaid by
Desperadoes.

Desperadoes.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, May 30.-W. F.
Jones, manager Of the Sandwich Manufae-
turing Company, was found in the rear of
the Ogden House this morning with con-
fused wound in his head and bullet in his
abdomen. About one block away the body
of Jack Wade, a notorious rough, was found
dead with bullet in his breast Later,
James Maher, another tough, and Tom Gro
nan, a hack-driyer, were arrested. The
latter confessed that the gang had tried TO
rob Jones, having decoyed HIM from home.
Jones showed fightand fred several shots
at the robbers, who fed. It is supposed
Wade shot Jones after the latter shot Wade.
The indications are that the tragedy &C.
cured where Wade's body was found, and
that Jones' supposed corpse was being
dragged through the yard of a disreputaDle
house near by with the intention of con-
cealment when he, recovering, again showed
fight. Maher, Wade and Crogan ara all
hard characters and are supposed to have
sent decoy note to Jones with the object
of robbery. 1t is probable that he did not
suceumb when struck on the head and that
pistol duel between himself and Wade
eusued.

point couple of inches last evening, the
stream rose again last night to the highest
point yet reached aud early this morning
marked 27 ieet Inches. A fall Of two inches
followed, and at noon the river seemed to

The Bee reporters have just returned

pouring through in an immense volume.
The barn of Manuel Frates has been swept
away, and his house has collapsed. A strong
current IS running about Clark's house and
II will probably be carried away. Orchards,
hops and hayfelds are submerged, and the
loss wilt be considerable, though the levee
could not have broken at more fortunate
place. The strip of cultivated land there is
very narrow. and the water sweeps across
to the tues.

futile result Jackson then took the lnltla-

had been made that the fight would not last
three rounds.
Fourth round-After the call Of time
Slavin was the first to get TO work. jackson
seemed to have already taken his rivals

met Jackson's left, the latter having SHADE

Jackson fought him all around the ring and
succeeded in knocking him out in the first
two minutes Of the round.
Jackson was declared the victor amid ter
Tiic cheering.
jackson tipped the scales at 1913 pounds
and Slavin at 1S5 pounds. Jackson's sec
Onds were "ParsOn" Davies, Joe ChOynSki
and Jem Young. SlaYn's seconds were his
brother Jack, Tom Williams and Tom Bur-
rows Mr.. Angle was referee. All the ar
rangements of the fight were admirable and
the contest was one Of the faiTest that has
been seen in long time.
The ring was 20 feet IN diameter instead
Of a feet. Among the heavy bets recorded
was one Of $500 to goo oB Slavin, made at
the Victoria Club. and one OF 9200 TO &l00,
also on Slayin, at the Criterion.
Slavin, knowing the man be had TO deal
with, soon abandoned his running tactics In
favor Of cautious spaTTing. When it came
Jackson, who displayed wonderful science,
yet Slayn'S sudden collapse in the tenth
round was an utter surprise to the majority
of tie spectators, who thought Jackson
could win only by points.
Despite the fact that Jackson is a negro,
the victory is extremely well received here.
Jackson invariably nailed his opponent as
the latter came on, thus securing blow Of
double impact. His frequent visitations on
the nose and mouth nearly chOked SlaVin,
as the blood tricked down his throat,
troubling him greatly.
At the close Of the fight, SlaviD, as he lay
helpless and disfgured. appeared almost
dead. He presented a wneful appear apce,
and showed plainly the effects of his terri
Bile punishment. His eyes were tightly
closed, his face badly swollen and dis
colOred and his body was covered with
blood. Jackson, too, lost some blood, and
showed the marks OF the terrible encounter
in which he had been engaged, but he was
in a comparatively fresh condition when the
light was over.
When Slsvn was officially declared "out"
and Jackson was announced the victor he
walked away witAout any assistance Of his
seconds, and apparently was able 10 con-
uEne the struggle much longer. He Gp-
peared not greatly the worse for his en-
counter. 1t Is not too much 10 say that no
