The poets seem ever TO have been IN the

ton. The moon particularly has been tho In

somewhat contemptuously as the dot over an |.

TO have been an exception to the general rule.
and It may be stated as an axiom that the poets
as a race have been conspicuously kind both to

DEAD IN A DITCH
w. G.. ROGERS FOUND UNDER
MEATH HIS BUGGY
A Peculiar and Fatal Carriage Acct
dent, Due, Probably, to the Own
er's Heart Disease

REDLANDS, Nov. 2S.-W. G. Rogers, an
old resident, painter by trade, was found
dead in ditch beside the road on the grade
to San Timoteo canyon, beyond Hillside
cemetery, at o'clock this morning. r. p.
Lauritzcn discovered the body while on the
way from his home in the canyon to this
city, where he is engaged in making carriages.
lie first saw in the ditch, about eighteen or
twenty feet below the road down sloping
embankment, a buggy with its wheels on top
and still hitched to the buggy was horse
lying on its back with its feet in the air. A
closer examination showed that the top of
the buggy was crushed in and disclosed the
body of man beneath it with the edge of
the dashboard across the right side of the
neck. Tho body was cold, SO the man must
have been dead for some time. There was no
evidence that he had moved limb after
striking the ground where he lay. The horse
however, was alive and had evidently done
much kicking, though to no avail, for the
harness was not badly broken and the shafts
OF the buggy were not broken. The ditch
was narrow so he could only paw the air.
The horse was taken out by MIR Lauritzen
and Mexican and taken to a neighbor's
house, and officers visited the scene of the
accident as soon as informed of the disaster
They identified the body as that of w. C..
Rogers.
lie was seen about 10 o'clock driving on
Highland avenue and later over the grade in
San Timoteo canyon. Earlier in the evening
he had been in the canyon to take friend
to Ell Casco station. The generally accepted
theory as to the cause of death is that being
subject to fainting spells from heart failure.
he fell upon the lines, causing the horse he
was driving to back over the embankment.
and that he was unconscious when the buggy
fell upo1 him. Others think that he may
have fallen asleep or the horse backed over
the hill from having been frightened. The
mark showed plainly that tho buggy was
backed over the embankment and was over
turned in going down.
MIR. Rogers was about so years of age and
leaves widow and six children. The oldest
child is now Mrs. +. L. Huntington. He had
been hard drinker of late, bue several who
saw him during the evening state that he was
sober.
The coroner came up from San Bernardino
and the jury was unable to determine the
cause OF death from the testimony taken and
an autopsy is being had this evening.

KANSAS CITY FIRE

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 2s-Fire in
the big furniture establishment of Robert

one of the biggest Of its kind in the West

million dollars. The building is seven

street. The first started at 4:20 this morn

mattresses and other inhammable material.
1t burned fercely and was not gotten under
control until 7 o'clock. The fourth, fifth
and sixth floors were gutted and the re-
manning floors were soaked with water.
The most valuable portion of the stock is
in the water-soaked floors and it is impos-
sible to make an accurate estimate of the
loss thereon. The mammoth retail dry

IN THE RING

speed and cleverness in upper-cuts and hit
ting in the cinches. While the kid" put
only one mark on Thompson, he gradually
worked upon him and weakened him by an
incessant series of right and left hand leads
ana upper-cuts on the head. Parker main
tained fine guard OF his head throughout
and gave hardly an opening to the colored
man, although Bob waited round after round
to land a swing on Parker's jaw. Parker
also protected his body fairly well, although
Thompson landed several terrible right
swings in the stomach, which made the
"Kid' vince.
One thing was demonstrated by the fight
and that was the mistake of hitting with one
arm free. 1t robs fight of half the science
and makesit it more of a sluggng match than
combination of finished defense and aggres-
sive fighting Thompson showed up poorly
IN his defense. While the coored boy
ducked many cruel right swings and savage
upper cuts, Parker was able to land very
often with this style of blow. To the credit
of the kid" it must be said that he is rs
aggressive and incessant a fighter as has
been seen in the Athletic clubs ring lie
Kept right after his man, and though he was
unable to land at several critical times when
good blow would have finished Thompson,
he made fine showing throughout and dem
onstrated that he is as pucky as when he
fought with Thompson the last time, ard
besides has improved in strength and gen.
eraship.
Coming events are said to cast their
shadows before, and the defeat OF Thomp-
son was foreshadowed several weeks ago and
also in the preliminary event just before he
and Parker met last night. On the first oc-
casion little Banks, one of Bob's pupils, was
knocked out cold and in the preliminary last
night Rufus Thompson, another of the
colored lads pupils, was Knocked out in the
second round. Thompson's defeat was not so
severe as either of his pupils, but he lost
far more than either.

After a local career of unbroken victories

Parker last night before the Los Angeles
Athletic club. This was the third meeting of
these two men, each having previously won
battle. The fight lasted the full iif-

yond any question, as he had his opponent
badly going in several of the rounds and
did most of the fighting and landing Parker
was very strong, while his opponent did not
develop his usual amount of steam. The
contrast between the showing the men made
last night and in their other fight, several
months ago, was striking. While Parker was
81 per cent stronger than on that occasion,
Thompson was considerably weaker What

but Thompson had the best of the fighting.
The kid was able to put left leads on
Bobs face, head and the side Of the Jaw,
while Bob planted couple of hard right
and left swings on the body and several
times on the mead.
PARKER'S UPPER-CUTS
Parker began to put in his upper-cuts
with the sixth round, and it was not long
before their effective work began to show
itself. He was able to land on the body sew
eral times in hard fashion, and Bob was
much distressed and paid more attention
to protecting the lower part of his body.
Both did excellent work in blocking right
and left leads.
The seventh round was slightly in favor
OF Thompson, for he landed two hard rights
on the body and several hard rights on the
side of the head. "Kid'' did effective work
with his upper-cuts.
The balance of the fight, with the excep.
ton OF the ninth and last rounds, was
repetition of the other rounds. with the
advantage ir' favor of Parker. He did great
damage with upper-cuts and left leads and
hits in the clinches. Parker nearly had
Thompson at his mercy in the final round
ana hammered him at will, but was unable
to land Knockout blow. The decision was
awarded to Parker amid cheers. Parker
weighed 1873 pounds, while Thompson's
weight was l3a1h pounds.

The Collins Murder

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 23.-The trial of
John Henry Collins for the murder of his
father, j. s. Collins, was commenced in
the District Court today. The trial prom.
ises to be one of the most sensational ever
held in this county.
J; s. Collins, prominent citizen and
real estate dealer, was shot twice while
asleep in his home May l3 at 5 O'Clock in
the morning. The shooting was done with
MIR. Collins own gun, which was secured
from closet adjoining his bedroom. John
II. Collins, son Of the murdered man, was
time of the murder and was deeply in love
with a young lady of Lawrence. To secure
his share OF the insurance on his fathers
life, some $4,000 or $1,000, to enable him to
prosecute his suit with this young lady,
is said to be the motive for the crime. The
work OF securing a jury will probably &C.

Two WATERS FIGHT
STRIFE AMONG CIVILIANS AT
CAMP PRATT
WANT NO MORE SOLDERING
The Men United Against Further Life
in Service-Preparations fer
mastering Out

Fighting at Camp Pratt is not confined to
Scraps between the soldiers and the food
supply department. Yesterday morning two
of the satellites OF Chef Melsted passed from
stage of mutual determinations to open
blows. p. Daniels and Z. Burns are OF the
force employed to serve the soldiers with
their daily bread, but the necessity under
which they labored of presenting a united
front to the aggressons of the enlisted men
OF the regiment was not sufficient to smother
the hostility they bore toward each other.
Yesterday morning they came to blows
and were soon busy softening each other 5
faces with their fists. The soldiers gathered
TO see the mill, well content that the enemy
should be rent by civil war. The guard, how.
ever, heard the noise and, under Lieut..
Mielke separated the combatants. Daniels
resented this interference and struck at the
lieutenant, and was hailed to the guard house
to repent on bread and water. Burns, fear
full OF a like fate, left camp Immediately for
the city and has not been seen since. Later
in the day Daniels made use OF an opportuni-
ty when the guards back was turned and
left for parts unknown.
Corporal James Rogers, Company L of
Santa Paula, languished yesterday in the
guard house as part punishment for breaking
Chef Mclsted's nose on Sunday morning. The
consequences of the rash act are liable to
prove severe for Rogers, as yesterday morn
ing he was in the published general orders
degraded to the ranks from his Office as cor
poral Furthermore, he will be subjected to
a court-martial, which has authority to con-
denim him to some United States military
prison, if it deems such punishment neces-
sary.
The opinion Of the regiment is generally
against the conduct Of Rogers, although in
his own company he has many supporters,
who claim that he had severe provocation in
the quality of food which was served to the
regiment by Melsted. Rogers friends claim
that his general conduct and behavior have
been excellent, and that he only trans
crosses when in liquor, which was the case
Sunday morning. When under the influence
or drink Rogers, ordinarily quiet and peace
able, becomes very quarrclsome and pos
sessed Of dangerous intentions toward his
enemies, among whom he has classed Mel
sted. On Sunday morning he had been drink
ing and his bottled wrath was let loose on
the unfortunate caterer.
Although the act of Rogers may not be
q justifable one, the men of the Seventh
claim that it was not without some effect on
the cuisine. Sundays supper was vast
improvement over any previous meal fur
nished the regiment, while yesterday the
men had an addition Of apples and dough-
nuts to their fare, the apples being the first
fruit given them while at Camp Pratt. Din
uer was further improvement as the bill Of
fare was increased to include green peas and
vegetables. Many of the men, reasoning from
effect to cause, openly state that the damage

in amount would expire in January, for
which no provision had been made. In
formal consent was given for the replacing
of the insurance, as it was thought the new
board might not be organized in time to pro-
vide for it.
Blank acquisitions for use in the purchase
OF kindergarten supplies were referred to
the committee on educational supplies, as
was also the proposition of the agent for
history of the Spanish war to furnish that
work for the use of the schools at 81 rs vol
