VAN BUSKIRK WON EASILY.
A BLOW ON THE CHIN SETTLED
MR.. WHALEN,
The Contest Was Lively, but Tt
Lasted Only One and
Half Rounds.

The Whalen-Van Buskirk fight came
off last night, according to announce
ment, but it lacked eighteen and a half
rounds of being a twenty-round fight,
coming to a sudden termination in the
middle of the second round, and Wha-
len being carried to his corner uncon-
scious by his seconds.
Armory Hall was well filled, both up
stairs and down, with spectators, who
enjoyed the preliminary bouts, but
waited impatiently for the event of
the evening. The first contest con-
sisted of four rounds of good sparring
and light hitting between Wiley and
Maloney.
1t was followed by a four-round go
between William Lewis and Spike"
Hennessey, which was sharply contest
ed, both men landing heavily. The
first round was evenly contest
ed, but Hennessey had the best of the
second and third, and Referee Connors
gave him the decision at the end of the
fourth.
Then came the big match. Both men
were greeted with cheers when they
entered the ring Whalen is an inch
taller than his opponent but has not the
stocky, solid look that distinguishes
Van Buskirk, being built on finer lines.
The muscles of his back, too, did not
denote heavy hitting power

to all, was chosen as referee, and per-

AS the men stood up and shook hands
the difference in build and weight was
vry perceptible, and Van BusIirk
seemed to be the favorite, bets being
offered freely on him, with few takers.
AS they spared for an opening 1t
was seen that Whalen was the quicker
in his movements and on his feet and
more scientific than his opponent. Van
Buskirk wore the grim look that is al
ways seen on his face in the ring, and
which marks him as a fighter. They
spared for sp opening, Whalen being
more aggressive and handing first.
There were quick exchanges, Van Bus
kirk getting in a couple of body blows.
Whalen hit the quickest and most Of

in one of which Van got in a hot one
on Whalen's throat, staggering him.

BUNCO THIEVES IN CLOVER.
NEW CROP OF SUCKERS COM.
ING TO THE FRONT.
How an Unsuspecting Swede Was
Robbed-One OF the Gang
Now in Jail.

About a week ago a young SWede
named Claus Peterson arrived in the
city from Red Bluff, and being IMMERSED
in the ways of the wicked world. fell
among bunco sharks and was success
fully plucked.
When Peterson arrived he had a check
for SIP on a Red Bluff bank and a
few dollars in change. He was enticed
into a poker game in a K street saloon
and before he was through had lost his
check and spare change.
In order to get rid of Peterson he was
started for Marysville to work for an
imaginary surveyor named Morrison,
but returned after having reached Rose
vile Junction.
He related his tale of woe to the po-
lice, and Captain Fisher did his best to
recover the missing check or it's value
in coin of the realm. He succeeded in
making the alleged surveyor turn over
$50 to Peterson, and told the remainder
of the gang that unless the rest of the
money was forthcoming all would be
arrested for vagrancy.
Before matters came to a head, how
ever, the proprietor of the saloon where
Peterson claimed to have been robbed
had turned over an additional SCI 20 to
the Swede. and received a receipt in full
for all moneys claimed by him.
Yesterday morning Captain Fisher
caused the arrest of six men suspected
of having had a hand in relieving Peter
son of his wealth The latter identified
one of the parties, George Finn, and he
was locked up, the others being released
and told to leave town at the earliest OPP
portunity.
1t is understood that Peterson viii
swear to a COMPLAINT this morning,
charging the prisoner with committing
a felony.
Another case Of robbery was reported
yesterday. but it was also fixed be-
fore any arrests could be made. A man
told Chief Drew that he entered a place
on K street, east of Third, where an eff
fort was made to get him to engage in
a bunco prize lottery or drawing.
He was not quite green enough to go
for such raw bait as that. but he was
green enough to be coaxed into exhibit
ing the contents of his purse, some $50.

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 16.-An at
tack was made shortly after 10 O'Clock
this morning on President Diaz as he
was proceeding from the palace to the
Alameda to distribute medals 20 the
survivors of the wars. The city is in a
fever of excitement and the stories are
conflicting.
The most reliable version Of the affair
is that as the President was entering
on foot the Alameda, or central part of
the city, a middle-aged man armed
with long poinard jumped forward
from the crowd and made an attempt
to stab Diaz.
He was at once seized by the Presi-
dents suite and the police and heavily
handcuned, then by side streets, to
avoid publicity, he was taken under a
strong guard TO the Fourth Ward Po-
lice Station.
The authorities have so far refused
to make a statement, but it is known
the President escaped entirely uin-
jured.
To-day IS the great national holiday
of the country, the anniversary Of the
declaration of independence, and the
streets are thronged with people.
The attack on the President was
made just before the great military
parade started. Rumors Of various
kinds soon flew around among the
crowd and excitement was intense.
The assailant is a middle-aged man,
with long, dark hair and a prominent
nose He looks something Like an
Italian.
The attack may be the result of the
recent propaganda against all forms of
anarchists. One Jose Ventre, from
Spain, has just been expelled from the
country and sailed two days ago on a
Ward line steamer for New York
Another version is that the man was
simply presenting a petition, but this
is not believed. The ceremonies in the
morning were not interferred with and
the parade started on time and was re-
viewed by the President as planned at
the National Palace.
Chief of Police Velasquez refuses the
press any information regarding the
assault. TT is a. very delicate matter, -
he said. 81 cannot say anything
General Berriozbal, Minister Of War,
says the Presidents assailant is named
Arroyo.
The President" said General Ber-
riozbal, was walking, as is his custom
on Independence Day, and was between
General Mena, Minister of Communi-
cations. and myself when the man
came up. General Mena grappled with
the wCuld-be assassin, who was at
once disarmed and handed over to the
police"
The excitement among the foreign
colonies is intense. As this dispatch is
being sent $4,000 troops are marching
past the President, who surrounded by
his Cabinet, is unmoved by the das-
tardly attempt, and the people are
hurrahing for Mexico and General
Diaz
United States Minister Clayton will
call a the palace at o'clock to get, if
possible, an official statement of the
affair.

back, tried to rise, and then lay still
until counted out.
The crowd broke into wild cheering
when Referee Dwyer announced the re-
suit, and the seconds of the defeated
champion of British Columbia carried
him to his corner and worked with
him for several minutes before con-
sciousness returned. When he re-
gained it he pushed his seconds away
and fought with them, trying to get
to the center of the ring several times,
but finally was persuaded that it was
all over and that he had lost. While he
possesses science and quickness, he is
not a heavy hitter, and was outclassed
in his contest with Van Buskirk, who
can take a large amount of punish
ment and bide his time to get in a
heavy blow with his right.
Van Buslxirk has greatly improved,
both in style and quickness, since he
met Johnson and Steiner here, and it
will take a tough customer to down
him.
