who won the pugilistic crown from
James ]. Corbett.
Opinion seems to agree that 1t will
be battle of the old sort, champion
ship contest between the big ones,
such as has not been since the days OF
Sullivan.
Both OF the contestants are OF the
rough and ready kind, both lacking
the consummate science in sparring
as examplified in the Corbett style OF
fighting. Both men have finished
training and will rest until called up
on to enter the ring at half past
nine.
1t is stated that every seat has been
disposed of at prices ranging from S5
to S25 and, as the big amphitheater
seats upward of II, 900 persons, the man
ayers and principals in the affair are
assured of handsome recompense for
the nights work.

| HERALD Bureau, HILLSBoRO. N.
M, June g. Special to the HERALD.
The prosecution asked Lee who told
him Garrett had threatened him.
Judge Fall objected and asked to he
allowed to make statement.
The jury was then excused and Fall
said that if the court allowe d the ques-
tion to be answered, it would place
life in jeopardy. He was sure that
Garrett would affirm the statement as
Garrett had said he would whip any
man stating on the witness stand to at
| Garrett had threatened d Lee.
| IF the court will not protect my
client and his interests, we will have to
resort to other methods" " said the law
yer.
The court said. "You will have to
take your own method"
Lee then stated that Albert Ellis, q
negro barber at Las Cruces, told him
taat Garrett had said no one need fear
Lee if he (Garret) was given a warrant
| for Lees arrest.
Ellis is a witness in the Kearney and
A. j. Fountain cases.
The cross exam ination of Lee was
then resumed.
Witness didn't understand that
Fall had tried to make Gar
rett Sheriff of Dona Ana to keep Numa
Raymond out.
Prosecution asked about the killing
by Lee in Texss. Defense objected
asking questions about indictments to
impugn character and urged that pro-
secution must confine it's Investigations
to convictions or to matters connected
with the case.
The jury was again Withdrawn, and
the objection was sustained after argu-
ment.
On redirect examination, witness
said he was informed that RAYMOND
had offered money to several persons to
kill Lee and Fall.
James Wharton, who was the dis
trict attorney of Lincoln county in jan
uary, 1896, testified that Fountain was
not concerned in drawing indictments
or trying cases against Lee and Nc
New at that term of court. Witness
said he consulted only Less Dow.

The Poet Scout.

The following is going the rounds of
the press:
Capt. Jack Crawford, the poet scout.
left here one year ago to work the pro-
perties and look after the mining in
terests of the Klondike, Yukon ard
Copper River company in the frozen
goldfelds of Alaska. Now he is sorry
that he went. According to a lette r
received yesterday by General E. II.
Warfeld, the poet scout has lost the
little fortune he possessed and.has been
turned adrift by the company because
he refused to send out fictitious and
glowing accounts of the richness of tee
company's claims.
The company is Incorporated under
the laws of Montana with CAPITAL
stock of S12, 600, 900, divided into 200
600 shares of the par value of $40.
Frank 81. Vrooman, Chicago clergy

Washington, Assistant Secretary of

senator, j. @. S. Blackburn of Ken
lucky, d. j. Muryhy, former United
States commissioner of pensions and
others of equal prominence. The di-
rectors and the various stockholders.
according to Captain Jack, have been
sadly victimized by President Vroo-
man, who, it is alleged, has misrepre-
sented the value of the properties.

To Enter the Ring Tonight
And Battle For Cham
pionship.
ODDS ON FI7ZSIMMONS
But Sporting Men Fear That
Lanky Bob's Age Will
Tell Against
Him.

NEW YORK, June 9.--Some time be-
tween the hours of 8 and 10 O'Clock to
night Lanky Bob FitZsimmons. the
champion of the world, will meet JEFF
fries, of California, in a contest of 25
rounds for the heavy weight cham pion-
ship at the sConey Island Athletic
Club.
No pugilistic contest, since sFitzsim.
mons took the championship from Cor
bett, two years ago at Carson City has
occasioned such widespread interest.
FItzsimmons Is certainly one of the
greatest fighting machines ever prod
uced. His ability to take and give
punishment has been the wonder Of
the roped arena and his marvellous
condition has won for him hosts OF ad
mirers. But the fact that F,itZsimmons
is now approaching the time of life
when increasing years sap the vigor
and vitality from the body, caused
many of his followers to wonder if he
Is to follow the track to fstic oblivion
in the footsteps of Sullivan, Corbett
and Dempsey. Reports from his quar-
ters speak glowingly of his ondit1on
but some doubt still remains.
Jeffries, who aspires to the victors'
laurels, will enter the ring with an un-
broken string of victories and with
strong confidence in his own ability.
Trained to the hour he is in perfect
physical condition.
The Californian has everything to
commend him-youth. health and
strength. Fitzsimmons expects to
force matters from the start. If he
does Jeffries will play shy and hold
him off with his marvellous left until
he finds good opening for a knockout
blow.
Should Jeffries rush in, Fitzsimmons
will have the chance to land one of his
deadly hooks, for which he is famous.
A satisfactory feature SO far has been
the entire absence of black guardism
and mud linging.
THE GATE RECEIPTS.
NEW YORK. June Ex-Governor
Roosevelt has sent word that he will
be unable to attend. A record break
ing attendance is expected however and
it is estimated that the gate receipts
will range from $1,000 to $4,000.

has been selected as the time keeper
for the club.
