IN HIS BOUT WITH FITZSiMMONS
AT SAN FRA CISCO
LAST NIGHT.
Gardner Put Up Game Fight and Stad
in Longer Than 1t Was Thought
He Would.

After twenty rounds of fierce fighting
Bob Fitzsimmons, one time champion
of the world, won the decision of Gec.
Gardner in the prize fight at San Fran
cisco last night. Gardner was clearly
out-pointed throughout the fight but
showed his true gameness and abili-
ties as fighter by staying the limit.
In almost every round Fitzsimmons
punished the smaller man severely and
knockout lcoked probable several
times but the blacksmith could not
finish his game opponent.
George Gardner had visited Pine
Bluff some months ago and the local
sports took great interest in the fight,
but he was not the favorite. The gen
eral opinion throughout the sporting
world was that Gardner would not stay
the limit with the big fighter and his
friends all express qualification that he
lasted through the fight He now takes
rank as one of the leading prize fight
ers of the world. By putting up such
a splendid fight, Fitzsimmons regairs
popular favor and it may be that aa-
other bout will be arranged for him
with Jeffries.

At the police court several days ago.
Polly Johnson was fined for immoral
conduct and as she had not paid her
fine, Judge Toney left instructions for
the collection of it. John Wilson and
Patrolman Ed Cheek were authorized
to collect it. Last night when they
went to the Johnson Womans house,
the Bradley negro was there. AS the

touched the gun, Wilson fired. the
shot taking effect in the neck. Bradley
dropped to the flo.r. The officers then
took charge of the pistol and returning

Mr.. Cheek, who was an eye witness
to the shooting, says that Bradley was

would have done so himself. 1t devel-
ops this morning that Bradley had teld
Wilson once before in case of any
further interference on his part, he
would get hurt. At last reports Brad
