Both evidently intended to rush matters
from the beginning for there was no
preliminary sparring and measuring,
both being anxious to mix up right
away. After they had had a lively two
minutes OF give and take with four
clinches, they began to have a little
more respect for each other and played
more cautiously for some time. Bern
stein fought from the center of the
stage all the time, Mcmahon doing the
most of the leading, Bernstein confin-
ing his leads almost entirely to right
hand upper cuts after a feint for the
head with the left. He would get Nc
Mahon in a corner and when the latter
would make rush to get out, Bernstein
would invariably drop low and allow
Mcmahon to go over his back, tossing
him heavily in this fashion several
times.
This continuous use of the shoulder
however did not seem to effect the
doughty little Philadelphian's wind in
the least, hut once or twice after being
tWirled in the air he came up a little
dizzy and as may be believed very
much mad. Bernstein's ducking was
the feature of his fighting. He either
escaped the blow entirely and tumbled
his opponent over his shoulder or else
got in so close that the blow would
over. reach and land on his back. Nc
Mahon's forte was his punching rather
than his ducking. When he did go un-
der he was content If he escaped with
a thump on the top of the head and a
clinch. He was however the better hit
ter of the two landing cleaner blows
oftener and better than his opponent
and leading three times to the other
mans once.
Honors were even in the first and
second rounds, both men sailing in
hammer and tongs fashion and each
occasionally landing a clean out swing
or cut which would have meant sleep
were they bigger men. In the third
round Bernstein got Mcmahon on the
run and kept him on the defensive. In
a vicious exchange of swings in the
center of the ring, Bernstein drew first
blood from McMahon's nose.
M'MAHoN WAS ANXIOUS.
From this time on Bernstein would
come up each time spry and cool while
Mcmahon seemed just little fiustered
and anxious. Mcmahon kept on doing
the leaulnS ana trying Tor Knockout
with a swing. Bernstein never hest,
tated to fight when his opponent
started the play and in almost every
exchange got in the last blow His
favorite scheme was to slowly edge
Mcmahon into corner or against the
ropes and If an opening presented itself
send in right-hand uppercut or as
described before duck and use his shoul-
der. He was McMahons superior on
in-fighting and the latter was not
slow to recognize 1t for after the sixth
round he carefully avoided short arm
encounters. He also seemed to be
stronger than Mcmahon as he fire.
quently pushed him against the ropes
and dumped him into a corner when
they got into clinch.
Mcmahon had the best of the sixth,
seventh and eight rounds, landing clean
and hard several times in each round
and escaping with short arm jabs which
did not do any harm.
In the ninth round neither man had
the advantage. In the tenth Bernstein
showed a desire to bring things to a

Two ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Seen by
n SarSeyfns Party


Great Falls, Mont, July 26. = The
Mumbrue surveying party, engaged all
summer in making government plats
of land in Valley county, has returned
and report that on June 26 in a rough
trench of the mountainous country
near the international boundary, they
came across the camp of the notorious
outlaws Sophie and Nelson, on whose
heads a price has been set in several
Western states. The desperadoes on
sighting the party made hurried prep
arations to depart. Nelson, with two
guns in his hands, stood guard at II
ravine While Sophie saddled the
horses, and the two men disappeared
in the mountains, heading northward.
The surveying party, on recognizing
the men, retreated, but next day ex-
amined the deserted camp which had
the appearance of having been in
habited for several months.
