Purten being able to counter effect
lively.
In the third. fourth and fifth rounds
Purten. though not landing nearly as
often as Goff, occasionally found his
neck and chin with good straight lefts.
Goff kept up his left jabbing, and Pur-
tells eyes began to show the effects
of it.
In the sixth round Purtell commenced
forcing matters. He landed a stiff left
on Goff's neck, and got a light right
hook in the ribs in return. Then Pur-
tell rushed and swung his left TO the
neck, following it with a terrific right
swing on the jaw Goff went down,
and came up groggy. Purtell came
again with hard left swing, and Goff
clinched to save himself. On the
breakaway Goff managed to keep out
OF danger the few remaining seconds
OF the round, and staggered to his cor
ner. His seconds threw up the sponge
just as the bell rang for the seventh
round, as he was still dazed from Pur-
tells terrible punches.
Goff was the favOrite in the betting
at 10 to 8, and Denver sports backed
Purtell heavily at these odds, it being
estimated that $4,000 changed hands
on the result

MRS. NETTIE r. CRAVEN.
Files Another Petition in the Fair
Estate Contest.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27.-An-
other petition of Mrs. Nettie r. Craven
TO set aside the decree of distribution
of the real propsrty of the Fair estate
to the three children of James CT. Fair
was filed by her attorneys to-day in
Judge Troutts court
Her first petition was denied a few
days ago by Judge Trout, on the
ground that it was not filed within the
time allowed by the law. She says in
the new petition that on the death of
James @. Fair ene-third of the prop
erty became hers by law as his widow,
and that the distribution of all the real
estate to the children deprived her of
her widows interest without due pro-
cess OF law, and that therefore it was
in violation of the provisions of Sec
tion l of Article II of the amendments
to the United States Constitution. On
this point the case may possibly be
taken into the Federal Court

he passed the cabin she says she saw
him throw up his hands. stagger and
fall, and she then saw smoke and heard
the report of a gun. 1t had been sup

the tragedy. Mrs. Fades was search

MURDER
WILL OUT.
Arrests Made This Morn
ing for the Killing
of Mcdonald.

In another column reference is made
to the death of Frank Mcdonald. the
man who was found beaten and in
sensible at Twenty fourth and P
streets on Sunday morning. The crit
ieism therein on the supposd neglect
of the officers to investigate the mat
ter turns out to have been unjustified.
The article was written early last
night, and about midnight was stereo
typed in the form. Shortly after /
o'clock this morning Officers Dolan.
Fitzgerald and Butler landed in the
City Jail James Hughes and Charles
Williams. and an hour later they
brought in Aleck Welcich and Tom
World.
These officers. it seems. had been
working on the case and learned that a
drunken row had occurred on Saturday
night at or near the Hughes place at
Twenty third and n streets. and that
Mcdonald was then fatally beaten.
James Hughes is son of Contractor
Hughes, and the other men are en-
ployes of the latter
Williams told the officers that when
he went to bed at 8 o'clock Saturday
night young Hughes and the deceased
We're sitting on the water trough in the
yard. Along toward morning James
Hughes went to his room, awoke him
and asked him to go help him take a
friend of his home.
Williams said he refused to get up.
and that Hughes then went to get Wei
cich up to help him. Williams said two
of the horses were found in the morn
ing with their harness on.
The supposition is that Mcdonald
either received his beating in Hughes,
yard and was dragged by the horses to
where he was found, four blocks away,
or else that the beating was admin
istered where he was found and where
the broken demijohn lay, and that the
horses were harnessed for the purpose
of hauling him farther away, but that
the plan was abandoned and the horses
were left harnessed in the barn
1t is said that resident of that
neighborhood admits having seen one
or two men running away from where
Mcdonald was found.
Williams was very badly frightened
when taken to Jail this morning. He
would not admit that he knew more
about the tragedy than above stated,
but it looks as if he does.
Up to three o'clock this morning
Weleich had made no statement, be-
yond the fact that he found the horses
harnessed in the barn. He said
Hughes may have tried to wake him,
but that he doesn't remember anything
about it.
Tom World, another employe, said
he heard young Hughes trying to
awaken Welcich. but didn't know
whether or not he was successful
1t is quite likely the officers will to-
day get more definite statements from
some of the men now under arrest.
The probability is that Mcdonald
was on the way to some saloon with
the demijohn to get wine or liquor,
when the fatal fight occurred. He and
Hughes, the other men say. had been
drinking during the evening.
The officers are confident all the facts
win soon come out. OF course they
have a strong suspicion as to where
the guilt rests, but readers must, for
the present, form their own. conclusions
on that point.
It is certain that several persons
have known who was concerned i'll the
row, but it is apparent that none of
them intended to tell what they knew
until forced to do so.
