from a timber extending over tank

about the timber, the other about his
neck and swung himself off the curb

ever, and he fell fifteen feet to the bot
tom Of the well, badly spraining his
ankle. Having failed in his attempct
to end his life, and becoming frightened
by the intense darkness that prevailed
in the we'll, Brauer began to shout

A HALF MINUTE FIGHT.
Peter Maher Knocked Out Steve
O'Donnell In short Order.


O'Donnell In short Order
New York, Dec. %. 1t took Just 81
seconds time for Peter Maher, the
Irish pugilist, to again demonstrate
his superiority in ring tactics and hard
hitting qualities over Steve O'Donnell,
the Australian boxer, in the arena Of
the Greater New York Athletic Club
at Coney island today. Both men were
in excellent condition and trained to
the hour. Each of them was confident,
but Maher's hackers made him hot
favorite, the odds ranging from to
to on the Irishman's chances of win
ming.
O'Donnell was the first to enter the
ring. He climbed through the ropes
at $3.50 o'clock, clad in a gray-colored
bath robe. His seconds were Sam Fitz-
patrick, Billy Madden, Mike Butler.
and Gus Rubin, the Canton, o., giant.
When Maher emerged from his dress
ing room five minutes later cheer
went up which shook the building.
As soon as he got into the ring Maher
bowed his acknowledgment for the
warm welcome extended to him, and he
never looked better in his life. He
was escorted by Peter Lowry, of Dub
lin; Peter Burns, of Harlem, his spar
ring partner, and Jack Quinn, OF
Brooklyn. Maher weighed l7716
pounds, and O'Donnell 1871 pounds
The men shook hands at 3.4e, and
Referee Aleck Brown lost no time in
bringing them together.
There was intense silence when the
men put their fists up and Maher
rushed across the ring almost to O Dom
nell's corner. Both spared for W
seconds, and O'Donnell led with liis
left for the body. Maher blocked his
blow with his right glove. Peter then
jabhed his left hard on the chin an
landed heavy left swing on the face.
This staggered O'Donnell, and he
seemed to be unable to avoid Mahei
rushes. Maher sent O'Donnell to the
floor with hard left ON the chin, ant
the Australian stayed down seconds.
AS soon as he got to his feet O'Don
nell assumed defensive attitude, bu
Maher quickly sent his left once NOR,

THE SONS SACRIFICE.
Benton Wilson Went to Prison to Save
His Father.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 28.-Benton
Wilson, who went to the peniten tiary
for long term of years for murder,
came into Spokane last night, and to-
day went to Mica, where his parents
live. He had been unexpectedly par
doned.
The circumstances under which Will
son was sent to Jail were most peculiar.
Two years ago, some small boys un-
earthed the body of man that was
subsequently identified as that of
James johnson, brother-in-law of Ben
ton Wilson. The body was found two
miles from the Wilson homestead.
Benton Wilson and his father were ar
rested and charged with murder. The
father was first placed ON trial, and
the case looked black for him. Per-
ceiving this, Benton arose and con-
fessed to having murdered his brother
in-law. He said johnson had abused
his wife. Wilson's sister; had returned
to the farm and had threatened his
wife, if she did not come back to the
city. Wilson said that he accompanied
them to lonely stretch of woods, and,
at an opportnne moment. fell upon him
and dubbed him to death. For this
he was sentenced to long term of
years IN the penitentiary. 1t is case
of son sacrificing his life to save that
of his father.

American Arrested for Driving Into
Prohibited Mexican Territory.
San Diego, CAL, Dec. 2S.-Harry
Mansur, the American who was arrest
ed several weeks ago by the Mexican
customs officials at Tia Juana for al
legged infraction of the laws governing
the free zone, has been released by the
Ensenada authorities and is again at
his home on this side. His release was
obtained through the intervention of
Hon. Anthony Godbe, American vice.
consul, and cash bail was obtained,
which allowed Mansur to leave the
country.
Mansur said today that his case was
temporarily settled, and he did not ex-
pect it to come up again for six months
or year. 1t Is probable the cash bail
will be quietly accepted and no further
action taken, especially as Mansurs $
infraction of the law was slight.
Mansur's wife's family lives at Ro-
sario, about two miles south of the
free zone. Mansur had often visited
them, taking his team and paying no
attention to the law. being an old resi-
dent and acquainted with the officials.
But a new administration of the Tia
Juana custom-ho Senior Motavel-
asco, caused Mansur to be arrested for
smuggling a horse into the country,
and imposed heavy fine upon him.
Failing to pay the fine, Mansur was ar
rested and sent to Ensenada to be dealt
with by the higher authorities. Since
that time until day or so ago he had
been in Jail.

TX" RAY I'm COURT.
Photograph That Proved Damaging
to the Defense.

to the Defense.
Chicago, Dec. ga Roentgen- ray
photograph, showing the picture of a
skull and the different bones aud an
imbedded bullet, provided valuable tes-
timony in Justice Kehoe's court at the
Desplaines- street station. Frank Du-
gan, 1868 Park avenue, was the defend
ant The charge was preferred against
him by Thomas Talyor of assault with
intent to kill.
The night Of December 10 quarrel
occurred, during which Taylor struck
Dugan. The latter drew revolver
and shot Taylor in the left side of the
head near the temple. Taylor went to
the office of a physician, who dressed
the wound but was unable to find the
bullet.
Taylor's testimony was unsupported
when he appeared in court, and when
the defense put in the claim that no
shots had been fred during the encoun.
ter, and that Dugan had only struck
Taylor ON the side of the head with the
revolver, it appeared that no case had
been made out.
City Attorney Ingram introduced W.
c. Fuchs, who said he had taken an
'X'' ray photograph of Taylor's head a
few days after the alleged shooting
took place and had discovered the bull
let near the left temple. The photo
araph showing full-sized head of Tay.
lor was then shown to the court. The
features Of Taylor are visible, and a
round black spot marks the place in
the mans head where the bullet now
lies.
Justice Kehoe, at the suggestion Of
Prosecutor Ingram, allowed the intro
duction of the photograph as evidence.
