Gus RuHlIs BADLY WHIPPED.
Jeffries Obtained an Easy Decision in the
Fifth Round.

San Francisco, Nov. 15.-In one OF
the most unsatisfactory prize fights
ever witnessed in this country, James
j. Jcffries proved the victor tonight
over Gus Rubin, the Akron giant.
In the fifth round OF what was to
have been 2O-round struggle Rubin
wilted and then surrendered to his
peer tn the utter amazement and dis
gust OF the assembled thousands. No
one was more surprised at tine out
come than Jeifries himself, who
asserted that while he delivered one
telling blow In the second round he
did not expect To win the victory go
easily.
While Rubin will make no absolute
charge that Jeffrlcs committed n foul,
lie intimates that he was unfairly
handled, and injured ~ n result. In
this contention Rubin received the
support of his seconds. who sny that
his case was hopeless after the second
round.
Before 10000 people at the Mechan-
les pavilion, which has been the scene
Of many bitter and important strug.
giles in the past, James J. Jcffrles oi
Los Angeles, Cal, met Gus Rubin,
the Akron giant. tonight and fought
him for the title he has held since his
memorable battle with Fitzsimmons.
Jeifries expressed surprise that Rub
lin was such easy game, and stated
that he was ready to meet Sharkcy
at any time and defend his claim to
the championship.
After the fight, when Rubin went
to his dressing-room, he was followed
by very depressed retinue. The de.
ieated man complained OF no pain.
and moved about without assistance.
He said:
81 believed from the tap Of the gong
that | would win, but az the fight
progressed | was beaten down until
] received IA blow ON the stomach,
which must say was very low, but
which may not have been foul, and
which no living man could survive.
Jeffries departed from the written
rules and from the common regula-
tions Of boxing when he threw him
self upon me and wrestled rather than
spared. do believe that had not
received the stomach punch. which
ended me In the fifth, l would have
worn Jeffrles down In "a few rounds
and beaten him as matter OF endur-
ance. am ready to fight him again,
and believe that In time / will have
the opportunity Of showing that i
can defeat him. That Is all I can
say"
In the opinion Of James Kennedy
and Jack Gleason Of the Twentieth
Century club, which brought off the
event, Rnhlin was drawn too fine and
went to pieces because Of his great
zeal In training.

The case of the state against James
Shadwell, assault in the second de-
gree, was tried in the district court
last Wednesday. Shadwell In an al
tercation with George Barney, of
Rock Creek, struck him with a pitch.
fork and broke the small bone OF his
left forearm.
Mr.. Barney Immediately came to
town and entered complaint,
charging Shadwell with assault.
Mr.. Shadwcll arrived In the city a
few hours after and gave himself up
and demanded an investigation.
The case was taken before Justice
Mcfarland with the result that
Shad well was bound over to the dis
trict court on a charge Of assault
In the second degree.
According to the evidence given
both by the principals and eye wit
nesses of the affair, the circumstances
of the case were such that a resort
to the courts was almost super
fluffy o. IL seemed to have been
brought about by n certain aggress-
iveness In the manner Of the com.
planning witness and there was no
evidence on which to build o case.
The Information was filed and the
preliminary steps were taken In this
case during the absence OF thecounty
attorney or it would In all probabil'
ity never have come to trial.
The jury ON the case were only out
about five minutes and returned with
a verdict for acquittal.

your enemy ana you killed MIN. but
this is a mistaken Idea, even a more
mistaken idea than the other. True
manhood IL not best vindicated by
shooting In the back an unarmed
man who has offended or injured
you. -.
The court regrets very much the
unpleasant duty that devolves upon
it today, but 1t feels obliged to point
out the error OF your views In these
respects. There may be Others who
entertain the same mistaken ideas,
and II they act on those ideas, sooner
or later they may find themselves In
the same unfortunate situation In
which you are placed today.
There is also sympathy for you
arising from the fact that it is gener-
ally believed that the act which you
committed grew out OF an unfortun-
ate quarrel existing between your
late employer and the late employer
Of your victim. Rolling. However
that may be, 1t is "a question for the
consciences of these men, and 1t does
not alter the character OF your act.
The court feels it right to say that
he has as much compassion for you
in your unfortunate situation as any
man in this county-as any man
who is endeavoring to mitigate the
severity Of your sentence-but he
feels 1t his duty further to say that
he also has compassion for the man
whom you sent into eternity with
out ment's warning, for the
woman whom you made n widow,
and the child whom you made an
orphan. People forget these things
lapse Of time blunts their recoilec-
tion-and there are few today, per-
haps, who remember the grave occu-
pied by Rolling, or who recall the
fate OF his wife and child. They only
see you standing in the shadow OF
the gallOws, and they are doing all
In their power to invoke executive
clemency in your behalf. The court
would not willingly distress "A help
less man, but feels that 1t would be
mistaken kindness to encourage you
to hope that such clemency will be
extended. 1t IL in the highest degree
improbable, In the view of the court,
that the executive authority OF the
state will interpose or mitigate or
take away the sentence which the
law justly and righteously imposed
upon you. 1t only remains for the
court to bid you prepare your mind
for the awful fate which awaits you,
and to make your peace with the
God whose laws you have broken
and before whose bar you must soon
stand to make your final plea"
The prisoner was extremely nerv-
GUS, but retained his outward COM
posure and when ordered back to
Jail In custody of the sheriff, walked
steadily from the room followed by
the officer.

Held EMBEDDED IN Mud
THOMAS p. CRONIN DROWNED IN
SHALLOW WATER ON
SNAIL LAKE
HIS COMPANION IS SAVED
While Fishing Boat Capsized and
CrOnin Was Dead Before Help Ar
rived-EmpIoyed in ST.
Paul Foundry.

Early yesterday afternoon Thomas P
Cronin, who lived with DR. A s. Kistler,
Dale and University avenue went fish
ing with Miss Louisa EllsWanger, of 1884
Case street. at Snail lake, North st.
Paul. Two hours later the boat was cap
sized in four feet of water. Cronin went
his companion chung screaming to the
upturned vessel until rescued by three
young men.
From what can be learned of the acct
dent, it seems that the couple were fish
ing, and that while they were joking
about something the craft suddenly cap
sized inf our feet Of water Cronin went
to the bottom, where his head was so
deeply embedded in the soft mud that
he could not extricate himself Miss
Ellswanger chung to the boat and shouted
for help, and in few minutes she at
tracted the attention of three young
men at the opposite side of the lake.
They were John and George Girsch and
Joseph Bauer. The young men roWed
across the lake, a distance of half a
mile as quickly as possible, but did not
arrive until about twenty minutes after
the accident had taken place. The girl
was quickly hauled into the boat of the
reseuers, and the search for the body
of her companion was at once COM
menced. 1t was found almost imme-
diately, but when brought to the sur
face all hope Of resuscitation was gone
The water was less than five feet deep,
but the head Of the unfortunate young
man was found to be more than half
imbedded in the sand. 1t is thought that
he was suffocated before he could make
any effective efforts to release himself.
From the accounts of the reScuing
party 1t appears that Miss Ellswanger
was shouting for some time before it
was realized that something wrong had
happened. Finally the screams of the
young woman attracted their serious at
tention. and hurried trip to the other
side of the lake was made. On arriving
at the scene Of the accident they found
Miss Eliswanger standing in the shallow
water, and almost on the verge of hys-
terics She informed them that her
companion had not come to he surface
and hurried search resulted in bringing
his lifeless body from the mud.
Cronin was employed at the st. Paul
foundry, where he had worked for a
number of years; was well known and
we'll liked by the. employees Of the COM
pany; was twenty Eight years of age and
single.
AS soon as the body was recovered
tbs coroner, DR.. A. w. Miller, was noti-
fed. and he pronounced death to be duo
to drowning
