alarmed that they believed he was
knocked out for good. Rubin had vio-
len hemorrhaGes in the nose, and was
bleeding from the ear. When the phy-
stefan reached the patient, the latter
was unconscious, and only regained his
senses under the influence of powerful
stimulants. A short time after Rubin
fell asleep, but the attending physician
thought 1t best to remain with him for
several hours.
The blow which Rubin received on
his head when he struclx the stage. in
the Knockout. together with the blow
on the solar pleNus. and the punish
ment he received on the body. was, the

suits will follow. At o'clock the
