BRECKENRIDGE, Minn.. March s.
Night before last Frederick Salalsberg,
a Swiss farmer living in the town of
Andrea, III this county, committed sui
eide by shooting himself with a shot
gun. About one year ago his brother
Jacob committed suicide near the same
place, and left note to Frederick say
Ing that he killed himself because he
could not stand it any longer living
alone OH the prairie and advised Fred =
erick to sell out and so to some city,
where he could enjoy life, or he would
kill himself as he was doing. Ever
since Frederick has been afraid to stop
in the house alone, and has slept at the
house of one Daniels, farmer living
near. Yesterday Daniels came to

This morning Frank Kemfer went to
the house and found the dead body.
SailaiSberg seems to have stood by the
side Of the bed, placed the muZZle of the
gun to his throat and pulled the trigger.
Besides these two suicides, within some
three miles of the same place Carl Re-

space above eye and ear, his smoothly
rounded skull is rather lightly covered
with a not luXuriant growth of yellow
sandy hair. His forehead is broad and
receding. and tendency to badness
has somewhat exaggerated its proper

though small and considerably recessed,
have merry twinkle, and bright,

nothing in his small round face to indl-

eral look of GOODNESS and determination.
His neck is short and muscular, and the
enormous breadth and height of his
shoulders make it look somewhat
smaller than it really is.
1t Is when the eye passes below the
neck that the beholder begins to reall re
where FitZsimmOnS' enormous hitting
powers are to be found. Stripped of
every ounce of muscle, FitZsimmons'
shoulders and chest could not be mis-
taken as belonging to anything short of
powerful man, for from the
waist to the neck there are few
men having a more formidable
bony structure. The shoulders are
broad, and the chest both deep
and wide, so that for the aver
age anatomist it is hard to re-
cOncile the lower portion of his
anatomy with the shoulders and chest
which tower about it. For man of his
weight, his shoulders are almost phe-
nomenal. The points are high, and

that their continued presence in Wash

parted for their homes. When very

that he would like private talk regard

a neat speech, couDseling the men to the
usual good order which has characterized
all the contests in the Crescent City.
The men advanced to the center of the
ring, followed by their seconds, where
Referee Duffy cautioned them about
fouls and the usual club rules. During
this talk both principals regarded each

Their eyes never met during the talk.
Capt. Barrett weighed the gloves,
finding them of the lawful weight,
handed them to Martin Julian, who
took them over to Hall for his choice,
and Mitchell selected his principals
gloves. Referee Duffy announced that
the pivot blow was barred, and the men
stripped. When Frank Bosworth
jumped through the ropes after Hall
had fallen, and the battle was appar-
emily over, Fitzsimmons forcibly thrust
his officious second back through the
ropes. He'kept his word, and did his
own fighting.
Round One-The usual handshaking
marked the opening. Both men stepped
nimbly to the center and feinted for an
opening. FitZSimmonS attempted a

backed away. He tried again tor the
head, and, failing, clinched. Hall led
for the stomach. but received

scored heavy left on Hall's mouth and

THE OPENING ROUND.

Fitzsimmons, who, waving the United
States flag over his head, walked over
to his opponents corner ana shook his
hand. and. as he was leaving the ring,
received a tremendous ovation. The
fight was the easiest FitZsimmons has
had in America, and the blow which
FitZsimmons delivered that knocked
Hall out was universally said to be the
hardest that any one of the old
ring habitues ever witnessed. The
audience rose to It's feet, and tre-

FitZsimmons is quick and shifty with
hands and feet and head, and appears
in his boxing TO have mastered the art
of producing the maximum of effect
from the minimum of effort. His long.
lean and muscular arms and legs looked
to be made of whalebone and catgut. but
by no stretch of imagination
could they be called pretty. His
broad shoulders were ribbed and
gnarled masses of muscle that curled
and rolled up and down beneath his
clear, white and dellcate-looking skin
at every motion Of his long bony arms,
in way that BODIED i'll for his antago-
mist. All over his broad and V-shaped
chest rugged knots of muscle stood out
so that, as the bright electric light
fell athwart them, the whole surface
of his chest was full of we'll
defined lights and shadows. His long,
sinewy legs, though not by any means
large or handsome, seemed full of
power and activity and abUndantly able
to carry the rest of his anatomy with
perfect ease. In fact, ii seemed as
though he could spring from one side
of the ring to the other at single
bound like a kangaroo.

WASHINGTON, March S.-North Da-
kota people in Washington had streak
of genuine good luck today. They Sc
cured an audience with President Cleve-
land and were graciouSly received. The
party presented to the president were
Senator and Mrs. Hansbrough, Capt.
and Mrs. Mccormack. National Com
mitteeman Leistikow and Mrs. Lesti-
kow, Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Warren, of
Grand Forks; Mrs. Coleman and sister,
of Grand Forks; DR.. Glasgow, of Cassel-
ton; Col. Hancock. of Fargo; X-Gov.
Ordway, John d. Benton and Senator
Roach. The honor fell on Roach to
present those present to the president.
Fully twenty-five minutes of the chief
executives time was taken up. His
mood was most pleasant. After each
person had been introduced there was
some time devoted to gossip. "When
can we see Mrs. Clcveland?' chorused
the women present.
The president smiled and said: "In-
deed, / cannot say. To tell you the
truth it is almost impossible for me to
see her,"
The North Dakota ladies were per-
sistent, however, and the president
finally advised them to send her note
asking her to fix date to receive them.
Mrs. Hansbrough was finally delegated
to address Mrs. Cleveland. asking that
an hour be set. Nothing was said
about politics or offices during this
time. Neither side hroached the sub

representatives who came here said
that the air of a hippodrOme about
their fight prevailed. FitzsimmOns came
first; he whipped local men, and jumped
into international Importance by his de-
feat of Dempsey. Maher came after,
and FitzsimmOns had to 60 out of his
class to fight. The Importance of the
pugilists brought Hail to cut the middle
weight championship down. The
History Of the Negotiations
which led to this great match, if given
in detail, would fill an ordinary-sized
book, but for'the purpose of the present
report they may be given briefly: Fitz-
simmons came to this country an un-
known man, so far as the American an
mails of the prize ring are concerned,a and
soon won both fame and money. Hall,
from the autipodes, observing the sue
cess achieved by the lanky, red-headed
blacksmith, desired to emulate his
success aud crossed the Pacific ocean
engaged in a similar quest. The records
showed that he had defeated Fijzsin-
mons in Australia, and he was not long
