The An,phitheater for the Fight

DALLAS, Tex, August 23.-There is
beginning to be quite stir and show OF
business at the site of the amphItheater
in which the great glove contest will take
place, since the contract for the lumber
was let. Ten of the biggest sawmills in
Eastern Texas have been running night
and day to fill the largest single bill ever
placed with them. To date something
more than 60. 900 feet OF the lumber has
been delivered and stacked on the ground
from which the cornstalks have been cut
and burned. The lumber will be shipped
as fast as it is sawed. Something over
1000. 600 feet of lumber will be used in
the building. As the law against prize
fighting i'll Texas does not expire until
the 1st of September. the actual work
will not be begun until then. This will
give the carpenters Just two months to
complete it, which will be ample time.
AT the club rooms all was quiet. There
was nothing new to give to the press.
The table OF Secretary Wheelocg was piled
with letters ordering seats and making
all manner of inquiries.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 23.-lt took
jury just ten minutes today to decide
that o. W. Winthrop did not murder Mrs.
Jennie Matthews. The case was specu-
liar one. Winthrop is superintendent of
Laurel Hin cemetery, and an officer in
the Society of Chosen Friends. Mrs
Mathews visited the cemetery several
months ago in company with her little
girl. Winthrop took the girl for drive,
and when he returned found Mrs. Mat
thews lying on the ground in spasm.
She died shortly after, ana the child told
her father that she had seen Winthrop
give her mother a pill. An examination
showed strychnine in the stomach of the
dead Ewoman, and this, in connection
with the fact that Mrs Matthews had
short time before secretly taKen out a
$4,000 insurance policy in the Order of
Chosen Friends, in which Winthrop was
made trustee of the money for the benefit
of the child, caused suspicion to fall upon
him. During the trial it was proved that
Mrs. Matthews had threatened suicide,
and that she had been treated by ply.
sician who had prescribed stry chnine for
her. Winthrop explained the presence OF
his name on the insurance policy bv
stating that he had filled out blank
policy in order to show her how it was
done, expecting her TO write new policy
after the model furnished her. Instead,
the woman turnei in the one bearing his
name as trustee.
