HARTs HAND BRoKEN.
Quits the Fight With Gardner in the
Twelfth Round.


Louisville. Ky.,May 14.-George Gard
ner was given the decision over Marvin
Hart at the end of the twelfth round
in their fight before the Southern Ath-
letic club last night. Hart at the end
of the twelfth claimed that his right
hand had been broken and gave up the
fight. Hart put up a good strong light,
but Gardner was much faster and land
ed oftener. Both were very weak at the
finish. The fight was to have gone 20
rounds at catch weights, with Tim
Hurst as referee Hart weighed 176
pounds and Gardner 164 Time after
time in the first and second rounds the
men swung vicious hooks for the head,
each working for a speedy finish. Gard
ner invariably made fine play on Harris
wind, with short arm jolts during the
clinches. Hart was putting up a long
range fight. but his wicked swings gen
orally went wild or were blocked with
great cleverness by Gardner.
In the third round there was a hot
exchange OF rights to the head followed
by a hail of blows to wind and jaw
from Hart, which set the buzzers going
in Gardeners head. but the gong ended
it.
In the fourth Gardner. by a series of
short right and left hooks to the head,
started Hart along Queer street, but
was unable to finish it. Both men were
tired but Hart soon rallied. The terrific
pace was maintained in the next three
rounds. Gardner looked weak and Hart
was bloody. The end of the tenth round
found aGrdner coming strong. A series
of right hooks made Hart groggy. It
was still anybody's fight in the twelfth
in spite of the fact that Gardner was
the cleverer. He hit Hart as often as
he desired, but his blows lacked steam.
Hart surprised the crowd by claiming a
broken right hand and his seconds
threw uD the sponge.
Hart was badly battered up about the
face, While Gardner was unmarked

oUMmINs MURDER CASE.
The Wife Is Making Much Trouble in
Case Against Her Husband.

wellington, Kan, May 14-Mrs. Clara
Cummins, wife of the defendant in a
murder trial here, and principal wit
ness for the state, is making all sorts
of trouble for the court and the states
attorneys. She thinks she is pursued
iby a detective, whom she calls Slim
legs" and for fear of him refuses to
stay in town any longer.
The court had to adjourn until noon
while she was making her way back,
fourteen miles. over the muddy roads.
The lawyers can do nothing with her
and the judge has not been able to work
himself up to the point of fning her
for contempt. She refuses to answer
any questions unless the county attor-
ney's private stenographer is at hand
to take down her answers. Her test-
mony, however, is clearly given and
she sticks close to the story she told on
the first trial as to the killing of the
little girl by her husband, and his re-
peated refusals to send for a doctor
while the child lay dying in the smoke
house.
