BRITT GETS DECISION
Jimmy" Gers the Consolation of
a Decision Against Battling"
NelSOn-NelsOn Did the
Greatest Ei9htin6.

Mechanics Pavilion, San Fran
cisco. Dec. 21.-(Special. AT the
end of the twentieth round with Jim
my Britt, of San Francisco. and Bat
Ting Nelson, of Chicago, fighting
like a pair of bulldogs. the gong
sounded the end of the contest and
Referee Roche unhesitatingly placed
his hand on the California boy as
the winner of the contest
In the closing round Britt was
punching Nelson all over the ring:
but his blows lacked sufficient force
to put a quietus on his opponent.
The fight was an exemplification
of how much punishment a human
being can endure and not succumb.
At several stages of the fight Mel
son was badly punished; but he al
ways kept gamely coming up to the
firing line and all through the fight
he forced the fighting.
In one or two instances he had
the local boy in distress, but Britts
excellent generalship and the ad-
vice of his seconds saved him from
going too close to the danger point.
Nelson is unQuestionably a Won
der in the pugilistic world. Time
after time taking blows heavy
enough to put out an ordinary fight
er, he would come up apparently in
his early form and bring the fight
ing to Britt.
Referee Roche says he gave the
fight to Britt on cleaner hitting and
the greater number of points scored.
and the retrospect of the fight re
fleets the justness of the decision.
although Nelson did most of the
leading, Britt displayed the greatest
ability as a boxer and his blows We're
cleaner and more forceful white a
majority of the shots fired by Mel
son We're at close quarters. Nelson
was sadly deficient in long arm work
and most of his attempts to reach
his opponent, where both men were
free, We're ineffective.
The house was .one of the largest
ever seen in San Francisco and it
is estimated that the fighters will di-
vide nearly $4,000 between them.
There were no visible marks on
Nelson except some slight pufiiness
about the eyes, and Britt's face was
bleeding in several places from the
force of the blows delivered by Mel
son in the clinches.
When Britt was seen in the dress
ing room after the fight, he had this
to say;
with plenty of ability in that direc-
tion, but without the knowledge of
how to use it. fought as ! did to
secure the championship and protect
my friends money. | am still the
champion of the world. aud 1 mean

Nelson had this to say:
81 had all the best of the fight.
Britt was breaking ground and hold
ing on continuously. Referee Roche
made no effort to break Britt eX-
cept to give me the worst of IT.

Minister'S Tribute TO
William J. Bryan

William j. Bryan never had
IA higher tribute paid him than
he received Sunday night in
Denver from Rev. Il. f. Coyle
of the Central Presbyterian
church in his "ReView of Bry-
ans Lecture" DIR. Coyle, a re-
publican, spoke of MIR. Bryan in
the highest terms and said in
part:
1.-THE moral tone of William
j. Bryan's lectures was both
high and intellectual, and what
he said was direct contribution
to what all Christian churches
are trying TO do. What he said
ON patriotism was perhaps the
most emphatic and noble express
sion l ever heard ON that sub
icct, and the whole influence of
the lecture was uplifting and in
spring. His words marked him
II man of which the country
should be justly proud, and
there is no doubt but that his
audiences went home after his
talks with higher and broader
conception of right.

Shipment Of Silver rlr.

Estacada--Linn Brothers, who own
sawmill 10 miles northeast of this
place, have just shipped from here a
carload of the finest quality Of lumber
ever seen in this section of the state
The firm owns large tract of timber
land near their mill and now has on
hand very large assortment of finish
ing lumber. The timber from which
it is sawed is of variety called by tim
bermen "silver tir," and is of lighter
color and finer grain than the yellow
fir. A number of experienced lumber
men and carpenters saw the lumber as
it was being loaded and all pronounced
it the best they had seen in the state.

AMERICANS WATCH THE LENA.
patrOl-Boat Will See No Fanatic re-.
peaiS the Maine Incident.

San Francisco, spet. l4.--Early to-
day the destroyer Paul Jones, Lieuten.
ant G. @. Dawson commanding, was
sent to an anchorage off the Union Iron
works, close to the Lena. Later, the
Paul Jones was reinforced by a steam
launch from the Marblehead, In charge
of Midshipman Davis, with an armed
crew and four marines with loaded
rifles and belts filled with ammunition.
Assisted by the launch as a picket and
patrol boat, the Paul Jones will keep
close watch over the Lena as long ne
she remains in port to see that the neu.
trality laws are rigidly enforced both
for and against her.
Vigilance Ia being exercised that no
fanatic, Japanese or other, creeps upon
the Lena for the purpose of doing her
harm and possibly repeating the Maine
incident in this port, and equal vigil
ance is being exerted to see that ahe
herself receives no military help In the
shape of arms, ammunition, men OF
equipment, or any coal beyond the
quantity to which che is entitled,
namely. enough TO. carry her TO the
neans at home port. Every boat that
approaches the Lena is arrested by the
launch until the officers in charge are
satisfied that the b6at's errand is 10.
gitimate.

CANADIAN TRAIN HELD UP.
Six Masked rten Make a Haul of
About $1,000.

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 14.-The
transcontinental express, due here at
7:45 last night, was held up 35 miles
from Vancouver by six masked men and
1000 taken. The train was tagged
and some Of the men got on the tender
with rifles. At the point Of guns the
engineer and fireman were compelled
10 take the baggage and express cars
two miles away, where they were
rihed. The train arrived at IL
o'clock. A sepcial train with large
posse OF policemen i'm nediately left for
the scope. This is the first holdup in
Canada.
1t is supposed that the train robbers
expected to intercept the cleanup from
the Consolidated Csriboo mines,
amounting to 100000, and which was
expected to be sent here about this
time. 1t is said a cipher telegraph
message was sent to the express messen
ger telling him to have his safe open,
to be searched by an inspector, and
that therefore he was off his guard.
The authorities are now investigating
this Iumor.

Chicago, Sept. IA board Of con-

& Steel company and 10000 Of its EN-.
ployes has met here to fix scale of
wages for the coming year. Today ar.
guments OF employers were heard.
The dispute which tue board Is to

pany to reduce the wages o. its skilled
merchant" ironworkers from 5 to 10
per cent. AH provided in the working
agreement which has been in force
since 1901, conference committees from
the company and the unions having
failed to agree on an adjustment OF
wages, the matter was left to board Of
conCiiation.
The arguments Of the company tend.
ed to show that reduction in business
combined with large outlays in the
erection Of new plants, did not justify
the continuation OF last years wage
scale. There claims were met by the
steel workers representative with the
contention that the number Of employ
es has been reduced in several plants,
thus comparatively tightening the ex-
penses,

that on the Umpqua are 3S, ,000, 900, ,0OC
feet and on the sius.sw 5000, 900 ZOO
feet. In Cuny county he found large
tracts OF black oak that would make
fine furniture. There trees. he says,
will average three cuts OF 20 feet each.
Eight thousand acres OF this oak timber
was bought by San Francisco tanners
for its bark but the timber had been
found to be too valuable for manuIactur.
ing purposes to peel for it's lark.
On Tillamook bay and it's tributary
streams he says there are 20, 200, 900,
900 feet, and on the Nehalem and its
