that the people OF the United States

UNIQUE EXHIBIT IN
FRAUD COMPLAINT
Most Remarkable Typewriter in

Complaint has been made at the
legal division of the Postofiice Depart
ment against a concern in one OF the
larger cities. which extensively adver-
tises its willingness to pay 500 a
thousand for letters written at home

OF the most remarkable typewriters

The victim. a woman. said that in
answer to her letter of inquiry, she had
received a communication renewing the
offer and telling Of numerous persons
who had accumulated small fortunes
by this method. a copy Of the letter
which the Arm" wished written was
mailed with the letter II was not more
than ten lines in length, and was a
simple statement that she had used
-- rs typewriter. Of which
this is a specimen. and found it TO an
swer all requirements"
The woman was poor. and in this way
she saw an opportunity to increase her
earnings in her leisure moments"
There was one stipulation about which
she had some misgivings, however. She
was instructed to send $3.50 tor the
typewriter, which. after her work had
been concluded. If returned in perfect
condition, would be refunded TO her
Any suspicion of the instrument, how
ever, was dispelled by the photograph
which accompanied the letter. 1t was
Of very plausible looking machine.
The $3.50 was separated from her
earnings and went ia swell the Golfers
OF the firm. In return she received the
typewriter which consisted OF a circu-
lar piece of tin. mounted on a board
about twelve r. eight inches. On the
tin piece were the letters OF the alpha

the sheet OF metal and approximating

might be made on paper. but II was

TURNER VICTOR
IN ONE PUNCH
Knocks Out Jack Carrig
After Sparring for
90 Seconds.
ShOrt-Arm Jolt Proves Effect
i've in Stopping the
Chicago Man.

With one punch "Rufe" Turner of
Stockton knocked out Jack Carrig of
Chicago last night at the Acme Club,
Oakland. The fight lasted ninety Sec
onds. It was scheduled TO go fifteen
rounds.
The blow that so suddenly ended the
contest was a right to the jaw. Carrig
did not know what hit him. the punch
came 50 suddenly. He was dazed for
some time after the losing ten seconds
were counted of and had to be assisted
10 his corner. Previous TO the knockout
both men feinted and stepped around
carefully without turning loose one pow
erful punch Carrig ducked and endeav-
ored TO catch Turner with an uppercut
IN the stomach several times, but the
colored boxer easily avoided the Chicago
man by speedy foot work.
IL was when Carrig came in close in one
II these feints that Turner landed the
short arm jolt that made him the victor.
The termination Of the bout was a dis
appointment 10 those present. Before
The fighters entered the ring Turner was
q ] TO , favorite. Dan Coakley Of the
West Oakland Athletic Club was the
referee.
In the preliminaries George Brown won
decision in four-rOund bout from
Frank Rafael. Caesar Attel defeated
Tommy Snailham in a six-round con-

NELL AND WOODS
FIGHT A DRAW
The Bout Goes Twenty
Rounds Without a
Decision.
Rival Welter-Weight Boxers
Prove Well Matched in
Science.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. pal NeilI of
San Francisco and Billy Woods (colored)
of Los Angeles fought twenty fast
rounds to a draw tonight at the Pa
vilion. Billy Madden acted as referee
and his decision met with the approval
of a large majority Of the big crowd.
The fight was an interesting one at all
stages. 1t was a splendid exhibition of
extreme cleverness and good generals hip
against youth and strength. Wood was
much the stronger and would have won
the fight had any one of his fierce lungeS
at the white mans face or body landed
squarely. NeiIIs stiffness never stood
him in better stead and to this alone he
owes his escape from probable defeat
He tantalized Woods with jabs 10 the
face and tried hard TO close the colored
mans eyes, but his blows lacked the
force to hurt his rugged antagonist.
Woods was aggressive throughout and
came near ending the fight in the eight
eenth, when he forced NeiIl through the
ropes with one of his wild rushes, and
again in the twentieth, when he sent the
white man down with a left to the body.
Neill was up at once, however, and mix
ing it to the end of the round.
Woods was heavier by several pounds
and rather finely drawn at that. Neill
was in good condition. The betting was
even. One of the biggest crowds in
long time attended. The Century Club
managed the affair.
