JACK CoRDELL BEATS sANTRY.
Former King OF Feather-Welghts

Jack Cordell was declared winner
over Eddie Santry, the once great
feather weight, in the second prelim-
mary mill. The decision was a sure
hair-liner and stirred up the ire OF the
fans, who were looking for draw,
which undoubtedly would have been
better decision. Both men were rather
slow and good, clean blows were lack
ing, though a hot mix-up was pulled
off in the eighth round.
The fast pace was started about a
minute before the gong tapped. Both
men forgot all about blocks and ducks
and began to rip in wallop after wallop
to the head and body. Cordell had
shade the better Of the mix-up.
Santry showed little of his ancient
cleverness, but had no punch. He did
not start In till the fourth round, when
he began to worry Cordell. Jack began
to use his left about the seventh ana

INSPECTOR OF CUSTOMS
KILLED BY FREIGHT TRAIN
Martin G. Ritter Meets Violent Death
at the Pacific Mail
Dock

Martin G. Ritter. customs inspector,
a veteran of the Civil War, who had
lost a leg in the fight for his country,
was killed yesterday afternoon at the
Pacific Mail dock. Ritter was caught
between two freight cars just as a
yard engine backed up to the train
to haul it out of the shed. The jar
caused the inspector to fall under the
wheels of the moving train and death
would have been instantaneous had
not the wooden leg of Ritter caught
under the wheels in such a manner as
to throw the mans body away from
the trucks.
The wheels passed over the artificial
limb, crushing it to splinters. Ritter
was dragged along the dock for some
distance, his head striking the plank
ing at every revolution of the car
wheel. in which his clothing had
caught.
The train was stopped before it had
gone very far and Ritter, stunned and
bleeding was extricated from his dan
gerous position. He was removed to
the Harbor Receiving Hospital, where
it was found that his skull was frac-
tured and that he had sustained Sc
we're internal injuries. Everything
possible was done to save his life, but
he died in a short time without having
regained consciousness.
Ritter, who was so years Of age,
resided with his wife and daughter at
the Hotel Franklin He has been in
the employ of the Government for
over twenty-five years in this city,
working at the Mint for twenty-one
years, and four years as an inspector
of customs The Morgue officials were
notified and, after an investigation,
permitted the body to be removed to
an undertaker's parlor.
