Even If he had quarreled-and lovers

such denial need not necessarily cause
one to believe him guilty. OF course

that quarrel must now be distasteful to

Porter was with his friends up to about

the fact of a man being seen going up
the stairs does not necessarily have
any bearing on the case. All but one
of the four elevators in the building
stop running at l o'clock on Saturdays.

country frequently, | am told, to place
little speculative orders with the grain
brokers. Finding no elevators waiting,
he would naturally walk up the stairs.
If it was one Of these spectators from

read nothing about this case, which
would account for his failing to come

A Close Call,

Once l sailed these seas, where are
the cannibals, with a corpulent cap
tain. Whenever chief came on board
the first thing he was sure to admire
was the proportions Of our gallant tar,
and the chief would feel him and
smack his own lips and turn up his
own eyes at the prospect of so much
fatness-going to waste, as one may
say. These attentions our skipper very
much disliked.
Well, one day both boats were sb-
sent trading, and it fell suddenly calm.
"The old man" (the forecastle name for
skipper and self were the only
whites on board. The strong currents
caught the vessel and carried her on
to the rocks, and we could get no bot
tom a hundred yards from the shore.
The underfow from the waves kept
her from striking. The natives gath
cred on the cliffs, as ravens to car
cass, waiting for the catastrophe.
took off all my clothes, and we waited
and waited for some two hours, the
natives recognizing the captain and
telling him plainly they would eat him
at last.
The strain on our nerves may be
imagined. At last the captains gave
way. "Goodby, C., old fellow" he
said. sThose beasts will have me in
the ovens at once. You may escape
you are thin. If you see my old girl
again, tell her I was thinking Of her
at the last" This was said with a
gulp and culver in the voice. But
just then the two boats came round

Dispute About Rules.

hnockeu Out Eddie Santry in Five
Rounds in Chicago Last Night
Dispute About Rules.
CHICAGO, February Terry Nc
Govern, of Brooklyn, at Tattersalls, to-
night, proved his right TO the title of
feather-weight champion Of the world
by knocking out Eddie santry, of Chi
cago. who claimed the leadership of
the 122-pound class by virtue of a
knockout of Ben Jordan, of England.
The knockout came in the fifth round,
after a fierce mix-up, in which Santry
did some clever work. Terry, how
ever, was too strong for the Chicago
lad, and, Strengthening Santry UP with
a short arm jolt in the stomach, landed
left and right to the jaw in quick sue
~cession, and Santry fell to the floor
on his face. He got up at the count
of ten, but was in such a weakened
condition that Referee George Siler
declared McGovern the winner to save
Santry from further punishment, as
he was staggering all over the ring
and would have been out with the next
| blow.
Santry was down in the second
round for the count, but got up strong,
and, in l~ong-range fighting, had a
shade the advantage, as Terry seemed
TO be unable to solve Santry's two
handed work. Santry's clever blocking
appeared to bother McGovern for a
while, as he was unable to reach the
stomach with any effect. Santry tried
TO fight at long range, but Terry would
rush headlong and took many a left
hand jab on the nose in his anxiety to
land a knockout.
In the third Santry made an even
break of it, doing some good jabbing,
and Terry was unable to get in close
enough to use the short-arm jolts that
have made him famous. In the fourth
round Terry commenced playing for
the jaw. and after a fierce mix-up land
ed a right swing to the jaw which sent
Santry to the floor for the count. The
blow weakened Santry. and when he
got up he clinched to save himself.
On the break Terry started playing for
the body, and this time he was able
to land and from that time to the end
of the fight Santry gradually grew
weaker from Terry's pile-driving short
arm jolts. Near the end of the round
Santry rallied and drove his left to
Terry's face, but the latter did not ap-
pear TO mind the blow. and made a
headlong rush for Santry and sent him
to the floor with a right to the jaw.
Santry tried to keep away in the fifth,
but Terry slowed him down with a
breath-taking blow in the stomach.
Santry, seeing he could not escape
from McGovern. made a stand in the
middle Of the ring. Both were swing
ing wildly when suddenly Terry upper
cut Santry on the jaw. Sentry's guard

dropped for the smallest fraction of a
second, and McGoyern whipped the
left over to the jaw. He followed the
blow up with a right swing and caught
Santry on the ear as he was falling.
Santry fell to the floor on his face and
rolled over. At the count of nine he
got to his knees and tried to s~traighten
up, but was unable to stand, and the
referee gave the fight to McGoyern.
Santry was unable to leave the ring
for fully ten minutes after being
counted out. McGoyern did not have a
mark on him as he left the ring.
The betting before the fight was
to l that Santry would be knocked out
before the end of the six rounds. San
try was seconded by Jack Moffatt and
Harry Gilmore. Sam Harris and Henry
haywood looked after McGovern.
There was a dispute about the rules
before the men entered the ring, owing
to the fact that Santry had never
fought under rules allowing hitting in
the clinches. The matter was finally
settled by McGovern agreeing that il
Santry would fight straight Marquis OF
Queensberry rules and was on his feet
at the end of the contest it should be
declared a draw.
1t was the greatest boxing show ever
brought off in Chicago. Special trains
were run from nearby towns and fully
$4,000 people damned and pushed
through the building. The box re-
ceipts amounted to over SIS, 900.

Yesterday afternoon, in Justice Rog-
ers' court, the civil suit OF the admin
istrator Of the estate of the late John
6. Haberield, j. p, VS.. w. j. Colts,
for the recovery of 5000 alleged due on
a note, came up for argument on mo-
ton of defense to set aside the decis-
ion rendered by the justice for the
plaintiff. In his affidavit Mr.. Colts
swore he paid the note; also that it
was the only note he ever gave j.
G. Haberield. As SOC as this testi-
mony was submitted Attorney Robin
son. for the plaintiff. produced a note
made by w. ]. Colts to John G. Haber-
field, dated January u, 1899. Mr.. Rob-
inson claimed the note in his posses
sion was the original one; that 1t had
ben hidden away in the City Bank in
an envelope, and not delivered to the
administrator of the estate until yes
terday morning. At the conclusion OF
the arguments Justice Rogers refused
to grant a new trial.
Directly after the justice rendered
his decision, A. K. Haberield swore
out a warrant against Mr.. Colts for
forgery, and a little later he was ar
rested by Constable Stoehr. The time
for the hearing has been set for this
afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mr.. Colts was
released on bail, with Mr.. George Rob-
inson as surety.
The note delivered by the bank to
the Haberfield estate is uncanceIed
1t is dated June 81. and is not en-
dorsed by the deceased. The note
which Mr.. Colts claims is the original
and only one he ever made Justice
Haberfield is cancelled and endorsed
by the late justice.
Mr.. Cots stated last night that there
was nothing at all in the case, and
that the note he introduced in the case
was the only and original one.
