A NARROW ESCAPE.

The Mapleton Enterprise says Mar
shall Roe had narrow escape from
serious injury if not death Monday
evening. During the evening several
members of the council visited the en-
CINE house and incidently inspected
the surface we'll. On leaving the build
ing they extinguished the light but
neglected to cover the well. Later Mr.
Roe visited the engine house and not
knowing the we'll was open stepped in
to it falling against the wall bruising
his side severely but fortunately not
breaking any bones. Had he stepped
further he would have been precipit-
ated into twenty-five feet of water.
On Tuesday evening Mr. Roe was com,
PEELED to take to his bed and has suffer
ed considerable from his injuries.

the sizeup in the early rounds of the
contest took the lead. He had the Aus
tralian whipped from the ninth round.
1t was acknowledged that Jeffries
would have an immense advantage in
weight, height and age, but the thou
sands who tipped and backed his OPP
pOnent to win were sure that he was
slow and that he would in that respect
be absolutely at the mercy of the past
master at the science of fighting that he
was too meet. He proved on the con-
trary that he was just as fast as the
man he met and beat him down to I'M
conscious defeat in fair fight. He is a
Veritable Giant in Stature
and marvelously speedy for his i'm
mense size. At "a he has defeated Rob-
ert Fitzsimmons, Tom Sharkey and
Peter jackson, and if he cares for him
self he will probably be'able to success
fully defend the title for many years.
The defeated man was just as good as
when on that crispy morning on the
plains of far away Nevada he lowered
the colors of the then peerless Corbett.
He was just as active, just as clever,
just as tricky and just as fearless of
punishment. Jefries fought from a
crouching attitude that was hard to get
at. He showed an excellent defense
and the ability to use both hands with
skill. He is game, too, for he never
shrank from his punishment. 1t was
great fight to watch and commenced
and ended amid scenes of intense ex-
element. 1t was all very dramatic.
The men fought before a crowd of
5000 persons and stood up in great
beam of binding white light used by
the vitograph people.

FREE BATHING PLACE.

We have heretofore called attention
to the desirability of having a public
bath house at the park The recent
drowning has caused more interest to
be taken in this project. 1t was sug-
gested today by a well known citizen
that such bathing place would save
lives every year and could be con
structed at slight expense. He sugges-
ted that the bathing facilities be free,
but that box be placed where those
who wanted to could drop in dime OF

THE CONTEST IN DETAIL.
Fitzsimmons Made a Hard Fight Against
the Inevitable.

FitZsimmons Made a Hard Fight Against
the Inevitable.
Fitzsimmons' entry into the ring at
1905 o'clock was made the occasion for
a theatrical demonstration. Jeffries
was next into the arena and like his
opponent got demonstrative reception.
Fitzsimmons looked lanky and thin, but
his skin was clear, his eye bright and
his step elastic. Jeffries looked sturdy
and massive and seemed little ner-
vous. He got the worst of the assign
ment of corners, for the great light
shone in his face and he blinked at them
in a nervous sort of way. There was
no long delay at the ring and the big
gong sounded almost as soon as the
men had been presented and gloved.
When they squared off Jeffries looked so
pounds to the good. The opening was
a tryout pure and simple and not a
single blow of an effective nature was
landed. First one was the pacemaker
and then the other essayed the pressing.
They were, however, almost equally
active and their work recompensed the
crowd for the lack of excitement. The

Fitzsimmons then took turn, but was
short. Just as the round closed
Jeffries Downed Fitzsimmons
with hard straight left on the jaw.
The champion came up slowly in a
dazed sort of way and reeled towards
his man. The crowd cheered Jeffries,
but the gong ended the round. Fitz-
simmons rallied in the rest and was
aggressive again in the third. He was
bleeding, but fighting viciously. He
made the pace, but it was the Califor-

MADE LITTLE PROGRESS.
Arbitration Committee of the Peace Con-

q
THE HAGUE, June 10.-The arbitra-
ton committee of the peace conference
sat for three hours, although not a
single conclusion was reached with the
exception of the acceptance of the Brit
ish scheme as the basis upon which to
discuss the establishment of a tribunal
of arbitration.
After the session most of the mem
bers of the committee telegraphed to
their respective governments, indicat-
ing that the discussion showed the ne
cessity of having their instructions am
plifed. 1t is understood that several of
the delegates of the smaller powers ex-
pressed wish that the permanence of
the tribunal might be made more effec.
tive and even moved amendments in
this sense.
The great powers. however, think it
is impossible, it is said, to go beyond
Sir Julian Pauncefote's proposals. New
ertheless a determined effort is being
made to secure the institution of per-
manent tribunal.
