WRESTLING BOUT ENDS IN RIOT
BuzaveH Bites JeAkans and Is
arrested on Charge of
Mayhem.

viciously. Early in the struggle he
butted Jenkins and the latter went at
him in good old London prize-ring
fashion. Lieutenant of Police Price
jumped in the ring and stopped hos
tilities. Later on they went at il
again with their fists, but it did not last
long.
Buzayell was on the defensive from
first to last and the one disappointment
of the spectators was that he did not
take the offensive and show what he
could do at that style of going. On
the few occasions when he was on the
offensive for a moment Jenkins would
at once get him into difficulties.
jenkins was hampered by having to
wrestle in the Graeco- Roman style, as
he is accustomed to catch-as-catch-
can.
BUZAYELHS STRONG MUSCLES.
On many occasions Jenkins started to
get hold in the latter style and then
stopped instantly when he remembered
it was barred. The colored man held
out for the match to be decided on a
flying fall. Jenkins wanted the pin
fall, which means that one man must
pin the shoulders of his opponent to
the mat before the fall be allowed.
After they had been wrestling more
than an hour Jenkins threw the Alge-
rian with a body hold, but as he did
not pin him down it did not count. This
was the closest to a fall that was
scored during the bout until the last
exciting moment Buzayell seems to
have muscles like steel cables in his
neck, as he broke one hold after an
other with marvellous ease.
The bout between George Braun, the
ex-Olympic Club wrestler, and Charles
Davis was joke. Davis knew nothing
about wrestling and Braun toyed with
him. He threw him the first time in
one minute and fifty-six seconds. The
next bout he won in three minutes and
twenty-nine seconds, but it was not al
lowed, 1t being a flying fall. Braun
then threw him for the third time in
one minute and fifty-three seconds.
William Mccullough refereed this bout,
while Billy Roche passed upon the
main event.

Experts Favor DIR. LOGAN.

Three physicians and a business man
declared in Judge Coffey's court yester-
day that DR.. Milburn H. Logan was
mentally and physically competent to
manage his own affairs. The hearing
was upon DR.. Logan's application for
restoration to competency. In Novem-
Der OF last year DR.. Logan was com
mitted to the asylum at Agnews and
has recently been released as cured
but there has been no formal dis
charge. On this point a question of
the courts jurisdiction in the matter
was raised and further evidence will be
taken next week, when Dr. Stocking
Of Agnews will be present. DR.. Logan
on the stand said that he was recover
ing from an illness, but felt able to
look after his property. which is worth

The wrestling. match between Tom
Jenkins and Buzayell. the Algerian,
ended in a small-sized riot last night
at Woodwards pavilion. AS a Sc
quence Jenkins was treated at the Re-
ceiving Hospital for a severe wound
caused by a bite on the abdomen while
Lieutenant of Police Price arrested
Buzayell and charged him with the
serious crime of mayhem at the Mis-
sion Police Station.
The men had been on the mat one
hour and fifty-six minutes and forty
three seconds without fall being Sc
cured. Just before the dramatic end
of the affair Jenkins had secured a
hammer lock on his agile opponent.
The Algerian saw the dangerous posi-
ton in which he was and slid off the
mat onto the platform. Jenkins COM
planned that he was being bitten and
just then Buzayell wriggled off the
edge of the platform and both wrest-
lers fell 10 the floor of the pavilion.
They were in tangle for a few mo-
ments.
JENKINS WINS ON A FOUL.
Jenkins was the first to appear and
at once complained to Referee Roche
that he had been severely bitten. He
showed a mark on his abdomen about
the size of dollar piece which showed
the deep impression of his opponents
teeth. The referee gave the bout at
once to Jenkins on foul The latter
fearing blood poisoning hastened at
once to the hospital for treatment. The
spectators hooted and jeered Buzayell
and there were repeated calls for
Lieutenant of Police Price to arrest
him. The attack was such a vicious
one that Buzayell was placed under
arrest and was locked up at the Seven
teenth Street Station.
The bout was one of the greatest
ever seen in this city. The Algerian
proved a master Of the art and broke
one hold after another with the great
est ease. He was in superb physical
condition and stood a terrible going
over from Jenkins He was game to
the core and when Jenkins tried some
unusually rough tactics he fought back

Jimmy Britt can afford to let up on
his hard work now almost any old day.
He is practically fit and ready for his
coming battle and can be at weight at
days notice. He has decided to keep
up his work for a day or so longer just
to be sure that everything is all right,
though he will not exert himself as he
has been doing for the last week.
As usual, a vast throng clamored at
the door of the gymnasium yesterday
afternoon to see the champion work.
Every one could not be accommodated,
and there was great fighting and show
ing for chance to get a glimpse at
the plumber boy. He was a little late
in starting in and did not devote quite
as much time to his stunts as he usu-
ally does.
He only went four rounds with Frank
Rafael, but the pace was fast while it
lasted and Jimmy kept sending that
right in with terrific force. He evil
