Decision Over Kid

CHICAGO, Feb. 1I-Kid Broad, OF
Cleveland, and Young Mowatt, OF Chi
cago, fought six fast and clever rounds
to a draw tonight at the Illinois Athletic
club. The fight was an even affair all
the way, neither man being able to gain
much advantage at any time during the
combat
MoWatt appeared to be afraid of Broad
. In the first round, but In the second he
gained courage, and during. the remain
der of the fight was a sWiiling as Broad
to mix matters.
During the latter part OF the fourth
round, in spirited exchange, Broad
reached Mowatt's jaw with a right lead.
The blow sent Mowatt sprawIing TO the
floor, but he was on hsi feet in a second,
and had a shade the better of a fierce
exchange that followed. Broad went to
his knees in the fifth round rom a right
punch, but recovered quickly and fell
into clinch. Both men tried hard in
the last round to gain the advantage,
but the milling was so even that the
only thing the referee could do was call
it a draw
Hughey McGoveTn, Terry's brother eel
ebrated his professional debut in the ring
by winning decision over DUSTY
Miller, q local us FOUNDER. McGovern
was too strong for the Chicago man. and
despite the fact that Miller hit McGoyern
almost at will, the Chicagoan was unable
to make any impression on the Brooklyn
boy McGovern paid little heed to his
opponents blows, and kept up such a
continual hammering with both hands
tina Miller weakened perceptibly during
the latter part of the contest and could
not have lasted much longer.

HAD TO STAY DEAD.

The romantic complication in the life
of the late Machiavelli of China, Ii Hung
Chang, is amusing or tragic, according
as one may choose to look at it, says the
New York World.

career. took a wife. During the TAPPING
rebellion his wife had to fly to the in
terror for safety. where she lived.
for many months without commune
eating with her husband The Chinese
statesman, meanThile, thinking his wife
had persisted with other victims in the
massacre, enlisted the sympathtes Of the
emperor, who ordered magnificent
funeral. The empty coffin was followed
to the grave with all pomp and cere-
mony of state by Ii Hung chang ana
representatives of the emperor. After a
period of mourning, Ii Hung Chang took
unto himself another wife and settled
down again to domestic felicity.
Then the first wife appeared. She had
narrowly escaped the massacre and had
been living with her family. Mrs Chang
! No. 1 took exception to Mrs. Chang 40.
2 and wished to be reinstated as principal
wife, as the law of China does not allow
polygamy.
Ii Hung Chang was in a great stew.
In despair he applied to the emperor.
The emperor said Mrs Chang No. 1 had
been accorded a state funeral; therefore,
to all intents and purposes, she was dead,
and he advised his minister to ignore her,
which he did. AS women are treated as
mere chattels in China, the first wife did
not demur, Tut went back to her family,
among whom she 4ied.

completely destroyed by fire early yes
terday morning. The fire was first dis
covered by the Waterman of the Mime
apoliS Bedding company and an alarm
was turned in. AS soon as Chief Canter-
bury arrived on the scene a second and
third alarm was turned in, and every eff
fort made to save the building. The
flames, however, had got such a start that
1t was impossible to do anything with
them, and in a short time the roof caYed
in and the building collapsed.
There was an addition to the main ele-
vator that was filed with bran and low
grade -four aud the attention of the de-
partment was turned 10 the saving OF
this, but the heat was so intense that the
flames were communicated to this build
ing. a little later this also collapsed, and
a flood of bran ran out -upSetting two
cars that were standing on the track near
the burning buildings.
The elevators Were of wood and iron
sheathed, and the capacity was about
10000 bushels. The origin of the fire is
unknown, but it is supposed to have
started from an electric spark some time
before the electric plant was shut down
for the night. The theory is that nail
lodged in che of the cleaning devices and
that a spark was thrown off which lodged
in the dry bran and Smoldered Tor some
time before it actually broke cut

TRACT PROVES COSTLY
MATTER DECIDED IN COURT
Wilkins & Co. Awarded 5000 More
Than They Had Agreed 20
Take on Poor Farm
Work.

The Taxpayers League of Hennepin
County is apparently not in as good re-
pute at the present time as it has been
IN the past. It objected to the county
commissioners paying the bills for
plumbing at the county poor farm after
the same had been contracted for and
the work done, claiming that the price
charged was eXorbitant and that the
work could have been done much cheaper
1t solicited bids from several st. Paul
hrms, and did 81 without giving them
full knowledge of the premises and sur
roundlngs, and also gave them the priv
llege of figuring on the cheapest kind of
plumbing which could be installed, and,
according to these figures, the Did
awarded to Wilkins & Co. was about 199
per cent higher than that made blindly
by the st. Paul firms. This led to the
opposition by the taxpayers league, and
the matter was taken into the courts.
In the meantime Wilkins & Co. had
made proposition to the county to set
tie for certain figure, which, of course,
was refused. When the matter was
brought into the court, and the ST. Paul
firms were asked to testify, they refused
to stand by the figures made to the
league, and testified as to the reasonable
ness of the price made by Wilkins & Co.
The result was that the judge decided
against the league, and as Wilkins Il
co. had agreed previous to the trial to
waive the contract price and let the
matter be settled on whatever the court
determined was reasonable, it was de-
cided that they We're entitled to recover

This was about $500 in excess of the
contract named by Wilkins, and about
$500 more than the price agreed upon

Comparing the fire loss with the loss

fire loss was greater than the total la

TUMBLES INTO The SEA


fall. The first to approach was the
Princess Alice, belonging to the Prince of
Monaco, and those on board seized the
balloons guide rope, which somehow had
become diSentangled. At the moment this
was done, a sharp cracking sound, made
by the motor, could be heard and the
screw was seen again to revolve. The
balloon, which was then almost in the
sea, rose slowly fer a few moments. But
lie motor stopped again and the air-ship
descended a second time until Santos
Dumont was immerseu up to hts arm
pits in the water. This scene was wit
messed with intense excitement by the
onIookers ashore and afioat.
The aeronaut, with the pluck which
has characterized him throughout his
dangerous experiments, could be seen
standing up in his car gesticulating and
shouting directions to those on the
launch which was towing him towards
the Princess Alice. At FIVE minutes Of
three the end of the balloon burst and
the Prince of Monaco, who was on
board the launch, then gave orders to
rescue Santos-Dumont from his perilous
position. The launch then came along
side the half-deflated balloon of the air
ship, which threatened at any moment
to smother Santos Dumont The latter
was half pulled and half clambered over
the gunwale into the boat.
The Prince of Monaco took him by the
hand and urged him to allow himself to
be taken on board the yacht to dry him
self and change his clothes.
Santos Is Nervy.
But the aeronaut energeticaIly refused
to do this until the remnants Of the air
ship had been saved. With the sea water
dripping from his clothes and looking
like water rat, the inventor stood in
the bows Of the launch shouting direc-
tions for the salvage of his airship. 1t
was impossible to save more than the
left to it's fate and it sank The launch
for the shore escorted by a fotilla of
other launches and boats.

shore acclaimed him with extreme en-

toward his residence, were:

This accident was due to the entangle-
ment of the guide rope with the screw
and wires of the balloon. The balloon
was not fully inflated when L started.
Seeing that an accident was inevitable 1
pulled the emergency cord but pulled it
harder than [ intended. This made a

has passed without much progress, seem
ingly, having been made.
The defense introduced a number of
witnesses, several of the states wit

as to what they saw on the day of the
stabbing. But the gist of the evidence
was to throw doubt around the cause
of Carlson's DEATH
DR.. J, Pelton occupied the stand the
greater part of the afternoon. He dis
agreed with the physicians of the city hos
pital and with those who conducted the
post -mortem, as to the cause of Carl
sons death. In his opinion death was
caused by double pneumonia.
On cross-examination, he admitted that
all the symptoms of Carlson's case of
which he knew anything, were equally
symptoms Of blood poisoning and none
was a distinct pneumonia symptom
