YOUNG PLUTO WHIPPED
SOUTH AFRICAN PUGILIST KNOCKED
OUT BY GEORGE DIXON.
Rendered Unconscious for Twenty
Seconds by a Left-HRnd Swing ON
the Pit of the stomach.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Once more George
Dixon proved his cleverness and hard-hit-
ting ability tonight at the I4ennox Athletic
Club, where he met and defeated Young Plu-
to, of South Africa, in the tenth round of
what was to have been a twenty-round
bout. The Knockout came in the shape of
a left swing in the stomach which crushed
the wind out of the latest arrival among the
short-haired fraternity in this country Plu-
to was heralded as a world-beater by his
friends, but, although he is very clever in
defensive work and undoubtedly game, he
was never dangerous. Dixon soon battered
down the Africans guard and early in the
fight demonstrated that he was Pluto's mas
ter. AS the round passed Pluto's strength
was fast ebbing, while Dixon showed no
signs of distress, but. on the contrary,
seemed to gain renewed energy and forced
his opponent all over the ring. He rained
lefts and rights on head and body. receiving
only an occasional blow in return. In the
ninth round he should have knocked his
man out, as the opportunity presented it
self for a right swing on the jaw. Dixon
did not try to take advantage of this chance,
as he plainly saw that Pluto could not go
much further, and he was right in so judg-
ing. Although Dixon cannot hit as hard as
formerly, his wonderful cleverness still
stands to him, and it looks now as if he
will be able to hold his OWN against all
corners for a long time to come.
Pluto looked weary when he came up in
the tenth round. Dixon sent four lefts to
the face and right to the head. Then with
a left on the stomach and a right on the
jaw Dixon fioored his opponent. Pluto got
up inside of three seconds. Then Dixon be-
gan to rush Pluto all over the ring, landing
lefts and rights at win on the body. Pluto
was unable to guard himself, and after
Dixon had pummeled him into his corner he
let Pluto out only to go after him with
finishing blow, left swing on the pit of the
stomach, which put Pluto down and out
Pluto lay on his back for nearly twenty
seconds, and then his handlers Jumped in
and carried him to his corner. The referee
decided in Dixon's favor Time of round
1:31.
The attendance was 5000 Dixon weighed
10 pounds and was in perfect condition
Pluto weighed about 126 pounds and was a
couple of inches taller than Dixon They
were announced to go twenty rounds at 122
pounds, as Dixon did not make any claim
for the overweight John White of this
city, acted as referee.

Salt water in the Big oiler.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, jan 1.-THE
output of the monster oil well on the Powell
farm is now diminishing, as is customary
with gushers of this sort, and the oil is be-
ing accompanied by small flow Of salt
water A great number of derricks are be-
ing erected in the immediate vicinity of the
we'll and a number of other wells will short
ly be in. The Standard has purchased the
holdings of the Hurricane Oil Company at
Geneva, known as the Booher lease. The
lease contained six good producing wells
and fifty acres, and went for $1,000. Oil
men freely admit that the Cudahys are no
match for the octopus. and it is only ques-
ton of short time until the Standard
swallows up it's competitor in the Indiana
field. Oil men in this section have but little
sympathy for the Cudahys The price of
Eastern oil has dropped cents the past few
days, and Western is expected to follow any
day now.

DEFENSE OF GERMANS.
Ambassador White Says They Are Not
Imciting the FiIipinos.


BERLIN, Jan. 1.-THE United States am
bassador, Andrew White. said to the CORE
spondeGt of the Associated Press:
AS a conclusive answer to the assertion
that the Germans wish TO stir the Filipnos
against the United States one fact out of
many which may be mentioned seems to me
as conclusive to the contrary. 1t is that
from the beginning the German merchants
in the Philippines have been the strongest
advocates Of American rule. When the war
with Spain vas pending the head Of one Of
the leading German houses IN Manila came
to Berlin, saw me and urged the Importance
Of our assuming sovereignty there and TAX
ing complete control He spoke to the same
purpose here at the Foreign Office and then
Went to Paris and saw various members
of the peace commission and urged them
most earnestly to the same effect. He in
sisted that the interests of German mer-
chants there demanded that our sovereignty
over the islands be maintained, and he has
since furnished us a document of great
length on the subject, embodying statistical
considerations of various sorts, wherefore
he must have the collaboration Of many of
his fellow-merchants there. Altogether l re-
gard this as a most significant fact against
all the loose, wild charges that the Ger
mans are seeking to undermine American
authority in the islands If that were so
they would simply wreck their own inter-
ests, and this they know better than any
BODY else"
