peared at the Academy of Music here
tonight before a packed house, not
able feature being the large number OF
women present. Jeffries boxed three
rounds with his sparring partner, Jim
DAILY of this city.
William A. Brady, Jeffries' manager,
read from the stage a challenge to hight
Tom Sharkey about Sept. 10 for the
largest purse offered by any club and
a $4,000 side bet. He stipulated that
the entire purse go to the winner, and
that no side agreements or secret ar
rangements be considered, and that the
sailor must agree to George Siler as
referee. The contest, he asserted must
take place in an eighteen-foot ring.
Mr.. Brady was vry caustic, and
called Sharkey a "blowhard," accus-
ing him of having robbed Fitzsimmons
of the decision in their fight two years
ago. Jeffries had little to say regard
ing his victory over Fitzsimmons.
Il feel bit sore about the shoul-
ders." he said, "but beyond that | am
all right"
Asked whom he was likely to meet
next, he said:

of Life's Hard Struggle-Left Let
ter For His Sweetheart.
Especial to The HeraldJ

Diamond, Utah, June lob. F. Jones,
formerly engineer of the Joe Bowers
Mining company, committed suicide
about 1:3O o'clock this morning in the
rear of the Diamond House. When
found there was a bullet hole through
his head. His revolver lay by his side.
He had been out of employment for
some time and had become very de-
spondent.
The only evidence left by the deceased
that he contemplated self-destruction.
was a letter left by him addressed to
his sweetheart. In this letter he in
formed her that he was bitterly tired
of this cold and cruel world and had
decided to quit it, but that he would be
her guardian angel and would con-
stantly be near her to guide and pro-
tect her footsteps.
Justice of the Peace Hanford of Sill
yer City held an inquest this after
noon. The testimony showed that Jones
was partly intoxicated when he took
his life.
Jones was 80 years of age and single.

Shape of $35,5Si.
JEFFRIES HAS SHORT END
THE CHAMPIONS SHARE WAS
ONLY S27,O54.
There Was Ss5, ,27O Taken In at Door
the Night of Big Fight, Half Go
ing to Club and Half to the Pugi-
lists-Jeffries Goes On the
Stage.

New York, June 1O.-The Times to-
morrow will say:
The division of the spoils of the Jef-
fries-Fitzsimmons fight was as follows;
Half of the receipts went to the Coney
Island Sporting club, and half to the
contestants The amount taken in at
the door was $S5,270.
Half of the admission money amount
ed to s42,6S5. OF this FitZsimmons re-
ceived so per cent, or $25,5sl, and JEFF
fries 40 per cent, or $17.054. The purse
said TO have been offered by the ciuo
was $4,000. In the event of Jennes
winning, this was to be equally DIVIDED,
thereby making FitZsimmons' total re-
ceipts s35,5S1, and Jeffries, S2l,O54-
II is declared that Fitzsimmons would
not make the match until he had been
guaranteed the large end of the purse
and the gate money, owing to his repu-
tation and position. Manager Brady
accepted 40 per cent for his man, be-
lieving that in the long run such an
amount and decision were worth
more than &c. per cent and a defeat.

Cincinnati, o.. June 10.-Leonard
Shilly, an attache of the sheriff's office,
who is a personal friend of Bob F'itz-
simmons, some days ago received the
following letter from the prize fighter.
1t shows plainly that Fitzsimmons
feared defeat at the hands of Jeffries,
and had evidently warned all his
friends against placing too much con-
fidence in the outcome of the battle
on Friday night:
New York, May 31.-Knowing you to
have been an ardent admirer of mine
in the past, thinking that you probably
will have confidence in my ability as a
pugilist, / write to you, as | am doing
to all my close friends. in order that
their faith in me be not abused. You
no doubt are well aware of the fact
that l am getting along in years. and
have for a long time been living a life
of ease and quiet, and. as the saying is,
have not kept up with the times
My opponent, Mr.. Jeffries, l must
admit. is without a peer in our pro-
fession today, and 1 would consider it
no disgrace to meet defeat at his
hands He has youth. science, strength
and courage and. in my opinion. should
have no trouble to defend the title,
should be gain it, from any man of the
present time.
You must understand that say this
confidentially, and would not, of course,
make public a statement of this kind.
and l further am sure that you would
not make use of this unless it be for
your individual benefit My object in
writing this letter is: You may be a
betting man, and like great many
more. may have a stubborn idea that 1
am invincible. If such be the case you
might bet reckleSSly. / would advise
you to be careful and not bet on gen
eral results l will certainly do my
best and hope to gain the victory. I
feel safe in saying that will remain
five or ten rounds. and if my usual
good luck does not desert me. 1 will
certainly win the fight. Hoping that
you will appreciate my letter of eau
ton, / remain your sincere friend,
ROBERT FITZSIMMONS."
