BEsTs M'GovERN
Denver Lad Administers De-
cisive Defeat to the Brook
lyn Man.
IT. WAS a PRETTY BATTLE
corbett Got Terry Going in the Elev'
enth Round and Never Let Up I'm
til McGovern Went Down and
Took the Count.

Mechanics Pavilion, San Francisco,
April q William Rothwell, better
known as Young Corbett, of Denver,
showed decisively last night that his
victory over Terry McGovern of Brook
lyn at Hartford. Conn.,, year ago last
ing McGovern 4 the eleventh round.
after fight in (which there was not
second OF idleness for either man. In
nearly every round Corbett, fighting
like a machine, never overlooking an
opportunity to send home his blows,
had a shade the better Of the argu-
ment, and when, finally, in the eleventh
round, he got the Brooklyn boy fairly
going he never let up on him until Ter
ry sank to the floor, a badly defeated
man.
Corbett put NcGovern down in the
first round for "a count Of seven, and
repeated it in the second.
There was stme question as to
whether or not McGovern was down at
the count of ten and for a few min
utes it looked as if there would be
free-for-all fight McGovern tried to
get up, tried hard, and was on his feet
an instant after the timekeeper count
ed him out.
George Harding, the club timekeep-
er who counted McGovern out. stated
after the fight that the blows that
knocked McGovern out were left and
right swings on the jaw, and a right
uppercut on the chin. Harding said
McGovern was in a dazed condition;
that when he haa counted nine he mo-
toned him to get up, but McGovern was
too confused I'd notice, and was unable
to rise. At thdtcount of ten McGovern
started to rise, tbut it was too late, ana
| the referee awarded the fight to Young
| Corbett.
Dispute on Decision.
Harding said that McGovern waA
| completely out, and that it was a mercy
| to him that he was unable to get up.
| Corbett was strong and ready, and had
McGovern risen to his feet he prob
| ably would have been seriously hurt.
AS it was, it was nearly a minute after
McGovern had been carried to his cor
ner before he was able to sit or under
! stand what had happened.
| The men in McGovern's corner
claimed the decision was an outrage
They said McGovern had been in
structed to fight cautiously, and when
| he was knocked down he was to take
obeyed his instructions. They claim
that at the count Of ten he was on his
feet, and although dazed knew what he
was doing. They also claim that he
had plenty Of fight in him and would
have lasted the rest of the round.
Hardings position in counting Nc
| Govern out was sustained by "Chalky'
Roberts, another timekeeper. Paddy
Sullivan, the third timekeeper. Paddy
contended that the count as accepted
by the referee was wrong.
Referee Graney's decision seemed tt
meet with the approval of most of the
| spectators, as McGovern apparently
vas thoroughly beaten.

CRY FOR HELP.
Men and Money Are Needed on th.-
Mississippi Levees at Once.

New Orleans, April 2.-"More men,
more money" is the cry that comes
from, the crevasse at Hymlia today.
The forces employed there, who have
been working day and night, are ex-
hausted and fresh hands are required to
press forward the work. The Texas
and Pacific has put on daily trains to
carry laborers to the scene. Eight hun
dred feet of cribbing at one end and 200
at the other were holding firmly at day
light and the prospect of closing the
break had frightened considerably.
Colonel Ernest, head of the river
commission, is quoted as expressing the
belief the river here had about reached
its maximum if the Hymlia break con-
tinueS to run.
New Orleans, March 31-The main
levee protecting the state convict farm
near Baton Rouge gave way at 4 this
morning. The entire place will be COW
Sred with water in few hours. Efforts
are being made to protect the camps.

GAME OF HIDE AND SEEK
New Jersey Man Seeks to Enjoin Wifi.
From Getting Dakota Divorce,

From Getting Dakota Divorce.
Sioux Falls, s. D., April "A
merry game Of hide and seek has been
in progress in this city, the principals
being Sheriff Huston and Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Miller. late of Millville, N. j.,
who Is said to have come to Sioux Falls
to procure divorce.
Edward l.. Miller, wealthy cigar
manufacturer Of Millville, and husband
Of Mrs. Miller, some days ago applied
to the New Jersey courts for an in
junction to restrain his wife from Sc
curing divorce in South Dakota.
4 The New Jersey authorities sent the
papers to Sheriff Huston for service.
But the sheriff admits she is too shrewd
for him.
The order was returnable today, when
Mrs. Miller expected to appear. It is
not known what effect the failure to
serve the papers will have. The divorce
suit Of Mrs. Miller may be affected by
the inability Of the sheriff to find her,
as an affidavit from Sheriff Huston that
he was unable to locate her might af-
feet her claims to a residence.
On the day the injunction was filed
it was reliably stated that Mrs. Miller
vfas In Sioux Falls, but that her exact
whereabouts could not be ascertained
If newspaper men searched two weeks.
1t is believed she is hiding somewhere
In Sioux Falls or nearby town to
Illustrate the efforts Of her husband

kUNNEkE A FIEND,
Stanley County Sheep Man Supposed to
Have Committed Other M,1rdere

Stanley County Sheep Man Supposed to
Have Committed Other Murders.
Pierre, 5. D., April lon account
OF the danger in crossing on the ice the
preliminary hearing in the case of the
state VS.. William Kunneke, charged
with the murder of Andrew Demler in
Stanley county, will not be held unit!
Saturday next.
The inquest over the remains of DEM
ler was held at Fort Pierre Yesterday.
The investigation showed a bullet hole
directly through his head and shotgun
wound through his neck, the latter evil
IDENTIFY having been fired near the vic
tim, as the clothing showed powder
burns.
Inc verdict to the coroner's jury was
10 the effect that Demler came to his
death from said gunshot wounds, sup
posed to have been inflicted by Kun
neke.
"A telegram was received in this city
Yesterday from Boise, Idaho, stating
that William kunneke was under sus-
plcion of murder in that city about
three years ago, when he suddenly left
that place.
An investigation of the record of the
man William Kunneke in Jail here on
the charge Of the murder of Andrew
Demler shows that he left Boise about
three years ago, going to Germany,
where he stayed but a short time, and
returned to this country, going first
to Spearfish and coming from there to
his present ranch on Cottonwood creek.
The indications point to his being the
same man wanted in Idaho.
1t now appears that a man named St.
Jeon, or st. John, who worked for Kun
neke disappeared about a year ago, but
rs he had no relatives the matter was
soon forgotten, and no investigation
was made.

FIRST TRIAL SPIN
OF SHAMROCK III
New Challenger Proves Quick
on Her Heel But Touchy
in Squalls.
TEST IN NO WAY A RACE
First Part Was Rather Drifting Than
Sailing-New Boat Proved Quite
Wonder at Going About,
Never Losing Her Way.

Gaurock, Scotland, April 2.-Sham-
rock III. had trial spin today and
showed herself superior to Shamrock I.
on all points Of sailing on which she
was tested. The yachts were out five
hours. The trial was entirely in light
winds and smooth water, but under
these conditions the challenger beat
Shamrock I. as the latter never before
was beaten on either side OF the At
lantic.
Though the breeze was light it was
decided not to risk anything and the
cup-challenger's working topsail ac-
cordingly was set. The challenger was
first to leave the moorings. She looked
the picture Of a racer as she headed
off shore. Out in the bay the wind was
so light the motion was more drifting
than sailing. Shamrock III. slipped
through the water without leaving a
ripple and carried her head we'll up.
The first time the challenger broke tack
1t was apparent that by shortening her
I'm designer Fife had produced a boat
which was fast on her heel, even COM
pared with cup racers. She carried her
way right through the turning and Was
otf on her new course while the older
boats would have been still looking at
It, thus showing herself free from the
greatest weakness Of Shamrock III.
Shamrock I. went off over a mile ahead
both boats and the course was laid
1own the channel. The two yachts were
close hauled while crossing the mouths
of Holy Loeb and Loeb Long, and the
wind squally and uncertain. They both
sailed faster. as both got better breeze,
and the challenger showed herself to be
little tender in squalls but she sailed
With her lee rail just clear Of the water.
A Great Run Home. =
| She Travelled fast and closed steadily
| lpon Shamrock I. Under the noun
| :ainous Cowal peninsula the land
, oreeze came true and fairly fresh, and
he yachts went down the channel on
What looked like a real racing test, in
which Shamrock's greater speed was
demonstrated. Sailing in the same
water and no better served by the wind,
he challenger pulled up on her rival
| ike hauling in a rope as the boats
fetched down the channel until off
Wemyss. Shamrock III. lay better to
1 he wind and sailed faster. During this
eight miles she had closed on Shamrock
| T. by fully mile and at the same time
had edged quite a quarter of a mile
.urther to the windward
Experts consider today's performance
sufficient to stamp Shamrock III. as
being, under the conditions prevailing
| 20 day. far ahe fastest racer built on
his side of the Atlantic to compete
| 'or the Americas cup.

THE BURDlck INQUEST.
Judge Believes the Finger of Suspicion
Points to Pennell.

Buffalo N. Y, April 2.-Judge Mur-
ply in his findings in the Burdick case,
declares the identity Of the murderer
has not been proved. The statement ISL
an exhaustive review of the evidence
brought out during the inquest. Special
attention is given, to, the letters ext
changed between Arthur r. Pennell and
Mrs Burdick, particularly one contain
ing threat against Burdick's life.i
Concerning these the judge says:
Although these facts would, in my
opinion, constitute just ground Of sus-
picion on which a warrant could be ISL
sued were he alive"
Referring to Mrs. Hull, Judge Mur-t
ply says: THE action of Mrs. Hull
on the morning after the murder and
her testimony on the stand has caused
me much thought and worry, to myE
mind they are inconsistent with perl
feet want OF knowledge as to what had
actually occurred. So little apparent
feeling for the dead man, such evidents
desire to cover up the crime, and moi
disposition whatever to aid the au-I
thorities in apprehending the murderer,
may be explainab1e, but has not beens
explained" :Bs
Good Showing for Burdick. n
Speaking of PennelIs relations with
Mrs. Burdick Justice Murphy says:i
His of all others was the motive strongt
enough to inctte desperate mind ALL
ready stepped in wrong doing to sol
foul and cruel murder. He can never
be placed on trial. nor can his case everI
be judicially determined. Let us be as.
fair then to the dead as the law pre-l
| sumes us to be to the living. He must
be presumed innocent until proved
guilty.
1.-THE theory that Burdick had a wo-
man guest in his den that night has
not been sustained by evidence. 1t hasl
not disclosed single immoral act on
| his part"
In conclusion the judge says: "It is
our duty to censure Mrs. Burdick. But
great as her wrong, so has been great
| aer punishment"

Sioux Falls, s.. D., April miss Ida
Gamache, who was last fall engaged to
township, Marshall county, is having
strenuous experience, as the result Of
having incurred the enmity of a mem
Der of the district school board because
she had occasion to correct his children
when they became unruly. The angry
member Of the board, in retaliation,
locked the school house and the teacher
has since been unable to enter it. How
ever, she makes regular trips to the
school building to show her willingness
to carry out the terms of her contract,
her intention doubtless being to insti-
tute suit against the board for her
salary for the full term as soon as the
