WALCOTT IN A DRAW
UNABLE TO PUT OUT RUSSELL, A
Rig MAN FROM MINNIE
sofa
BIG DISPARITY IN WEIGHTS
Champion Jumps From the Floor to
Land on the Big Mans Jaw,
knocking Him
Down.

CHICAGO, April 1.-Joe Walcott, the
welterweight champion, and Fred Rus
sell, Of Minnesota, went six rounds to a
draw here tonight. Russell, who is a
heavyweight and a big one at that. was
unable to do anything with Walcott, and
it certainly appeared that the latter was
entitled to the verdict having forced
the fighting throughout
When the men shaped up for action
there was such a disparity in their sizes
that the affair looked ridiculous, Wal
colts head just about reaching Russell
waist line. The men had fought but a
minute, however, when it was plainly
evident that the little negro was per-
fectly able to cope with his big oppon-
ent, and rather enjoyed holding up Rus
sells 220 pounds when they clinched Be-
fore the round ended Walcott dropped
Russell with right to the jaw.
In order to land the blow Walcott had
to jump off his feet fully six inches
Russell took a count of nine, and rose
to his feet groggy Walcott worked like
beaver to finish the fight, but the bell
gave Russell mucll needed rest, and he
was in fair shape at the commencement
of the next round.
He appeared timid during the next
four rounds, and kept well covered, but
managed 10 land several hard swings on
Walcott's head Walcott paid little at
tention to Russells efforts and kept
slamming away for the latter's ribs with
both hands. Walcott tried for a knock
out several times, but missed by a mar
row margin.
In the last round Walcott reached Rus
sells stomach with a number of hard
swings, and had the big fellow so weak
that, although weighing nearly 100 pounds
less, he was able to push Russell all
over the ring when they came to a clinch.
In the preliminary Mike Schreck. of
Reading, knocked out Buck Montgom-
cry in four rounds.

FRED C. PRATT is ARRESTED,
CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLING
$1,000

Refuses to Make Any Statement Re-
garding the Matter-Complaint
VIII BE Made This
Morning.

Fred C. Pratt, until two weeks ago
manager of the ]. M. Davis wholesale
liquor house, 106 and 108 Second street
north, was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Detective Simon McNulty upon the
charge Of embezzlement. Pratt's accounts
have been audited by an expert account
ant and a shortage of something over
$1,000 was found.
About two weeks ago Pratt, who had
been in the employ of this concern for
the past ten years, suddenly quit, and an
investigation showed that he was short
in his accounts. Pratt has been since
that time Swallowed by detectives.
Yesterday afternoon Pratt became
aware that Detective McNulty was fol-
lowing him, and he came to the central
station and surrendered himself to Lieut..
Martin Ginsberg, who held him until the
j. M. Davis company was communicated
with. AS Pratt entered the station De-
tective McNulty followed him in and the
former was locked up.
Mr.. Davis was seen last night, but re-
fused to discuss the matter except to ad-
nit that Pratt's peculations will amount
to about the figure stated. The prisoner
refused to discuss the matter, stating
that he would wait until after seeing his
attorney. His former employer viii make
a complaint against him in the municipal
court this morning upon the charge of
embezZlement.

HISTORIC TABLE FOUND.
Played Important Part in Three
National Republican Conventions.

Foreman of Buildings ]. w. Adams, of
the board of education, has finally been
successful in his effort to find the historic
table made by pupils in the manual train
ing department of the South side high
school, which has been missing for
number of years. The table will be taken
to the Sough high some time today.
This famous piece of furniture was made
in 1892, and was the table at which Chair
man Mckinley presided at the time Of
the nomination of Benjamin Harrison for
the presidency in the Exposition building.
Four years later it was taken to St Louis,
and in 1900 the same table was carried TO
Philadelphia.
Following this convention the table mys-
teriously disappeared, but in 1901 it was
again resurrected and became one of the
objects of interest at the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo, remaining there I'M
til after the assassination of President
Mckinley In spite of every precaution
the table again went astray, since then
nothing has been seen or heard of it UNI
til early in the week Mr.. Adams located
the table at the New England furniture
store.
The table is made of cherry, and its top
is decorated with three silver plates,
which commemorate the conventions in
which it play a part. It's companion
piece is a gavel, also of cherry, which
