also noticed another article from
Annapolis from the pen of my
friend, L. B. Cochran. Mr.. G. is
also a pleasant writer to read after,
but I can't agree with his con-
clusions For instance my friend,
Marion Lewis, is incapable of be-

man in Iron county that has a soul
as white as snow that man is
Marion Lewis. To know him is to
love him. AS for VIM. O'Neal,
don't know him SO well, but would
not hesitate to place my interests
in his charge, believing, as | do,
that he is perfectly and scrupul-
ously honest. In my fourteen
years Of residence in Iron county

Of Mr.. Cochran that first attracted
my attention was the one referring

San Francisco, Oct. 31.-Jimmy Britt

championship of the world tonight

to his knees in the fifth round, and
then, dosing his head gave him a VIC

qy awarded the decision to Cans on d.
The same thing had happened I'm
the fourth round. Cans had dropped
to his knees to escape a blow that did
not land. Britt struck at him but
Graney would not allow the foul. In
the neyt round, however GT-aney very
promptly ecognized the foul fighting. 1t
looked almost from the start as jf it
were Brttt's fight. He actually out
boxed Cans and landed blow after
blow.
In the fourth round it was apparent
that Cans was scared and barring foul
the fight was Brdtts ITO a certainty.

losing his head. it certainly Serred thAe

BIG STRUCTURE COLLAPSEs.
Bank Building in Memphis Falls,
Burying a Number of Persons in
the Wreckage.

Memphis, Tenn. October 31.-With
terrific crash, the building occupied by
the Continental savings Bank at No.
10 Madison street, collapsed at 10
o'clock this morning, burying a number
of persons in the wreckage- SO far
as known only one person, a negro
saloon porter, remains under the debris.
The other victims were quickly rescued
by the fire and police departments.
Jaspeh Fischer, a tailor, who had d
shop in the building, is the Only per-
son known to have sustained serious
injuries. He was badly mashed about
the body but will recover.
That many people were not killed is
almost miraculous. The building, which
was recently detached from a similar
structure, was four story office build
ing. Excavations had been made at
the corner adjoining and the fifty
workmen who were employed there to-
day heard a peculiar cracking noise
and it was seen that the banking
building was in danger of falling. The
laborers Immediately sought safety
and reached the street just in the nick
of time, as the building fell with loud
report a moment later. Those in the
bank and offices also heard the warm
| ing noise and large number reached
the street in safety before the crash
came.
The dead body of Winters Parker,
the colored porter was taken from the
cellar OF the wrecked building at
o'clock this afternoon. The negro's
head had been badly crushed by falling
brick. This is the only fatality re-
ported and at O'Clock the police an
nounced it as their belief that no more
bodies were in the ruins.
