MET DEATH SUDDENLY.
Mystery Surrounds the Taking off of J..
M Bowers,

Ms ptWCI0s
J. NJ. Bowers came to his death very
suddenly this morning at the Tenhagen
house. How he came to his death is q
matter of some mystery.
Only day or two ago he purchased
the Tenhagen house. Before having
taken this place he was of Waukegan.
Along about 3 o'clock this morning
he left two or three men who were in
his bar room, and attempted to go up
stairs. That was the last seen of him
by the men in the bar room. Bartend-
Ell Mayhem says he and the rest started
for bed a short time afterWard, but all
went UP the back stairs When he
reached Bowers room he found it
empty and looked around for the man.
He was found face downward on the
stairway, in an attitude which showed
that he was trying to get up stairs and
had dropped dead of some sudden at
tack or by foul means. When found a
small hole of about an inch in length
was found in the skull slightly above
and back of the right ear. The skin
was not broken through.
Coroner Gonnermann and a physician
were at once notified. The remains
were taken to the mOrgue where the
jury viewed them at 1:3O this after
noon.
There is a great deal of talk on the
streets concerning the death of Bowers
and foul play is limited at.

Shortly before o'clock Nigilant pass

She simply turned on her heel as IL

Nalkyrie afterwards made two tacks

DIXON GETS THE DECISION.
Though Griffin Seems to Have Lots o
Fight Left.

Though Griffin Seems to Have Lots OF
Fight Left.
Boston, Aug. 27-George Dixon, the
colored lightweight boxer of Boston.
was given the decision this evening
over Johnny Griffin the "Braintree
Lad" at the end of a 25.round match
held under the auspices of the Farra-
gut club in the Newton street armory.
The decison was a surprise TO the ma
jority of the 5000 people present, il
having been generally understood that
there was to be no decision if both men
were on their feet at the end of the
twenty-five rounds unless, perhaps,
there should be decided difference in
the condition of the boxers. Both men
were certainly in very good condition
at the end of the twenty-fifth round
although Dixon had done the best
work. Griffin surprised his friends by
the game manner in which he took Dix
on's punishment and they confidently
expected a draw. Dixon was seconded
by Tom O'Rourke. Maurice Kelly and
Joe Gordon. Attending Griffin were
Eddie Conley and James Robinson.
Both men weighed in this afternoon at
126 pounds, Dixon being a trifie the
lighter.
In the first round Dixon started In
apparently TO end up the fight and
landed heavily twice. Griffin was
forced to the ropes at the end of the
third and was sent down by right
handler on the jaw but got up again
and pulled off the round by clinching
Throughout the fifth round Dixon con-
tinued on the aggressive. Dixon land
ed left on nose and sneaked in right
when the men clinched. Griffin ducked
into A terrific uppercut. Both ex-
changed rights and lefts before the end
of the round.
In the sixth Griffin partially closed
Dixon's left eye. The seventh was a
terrific one. Dixon repeatedly 1aboed.
Griffin cross-countering effectively sew
eral times. Work was very rugged
throughout with honors about even.
By this time il was apparent that the
winner must do some lively work in
order to get a decision. Dixon was
planning his fight on this iine. while
Griffin's fine training was NANTES. in
punishment. Up 10 the fifteenth round
the pace was a hot one, then both men
eased up for the next five.
In the twentieth Griffin changed his
tactics and swung hard on the wind.
Dixon tried to stop with the left but
was avoided. Both men began to show
the effects of their work and the next
two rounds were slow.
In the twenty-third round Dixon
tried hard for a knock out but di not
succeed. The remaining two rounds
were comparatively tame and il was
apparent that Griffin had lots of fight
in him.
For the preliminary there were eight
rounds of hard fighting between John
ny Briggs OF Waitham and Mick DOH
erty of Boston. In the seventh Doher-
ty was Knocked down twice but as
both men were up at the end OF the
eight, the bout was declared draw.
