again to the carpet
Again Munroe arose after taking the
count OF seven. but he was groggy and so
dead that the gallery howled their dis
approval OF his fighting spirit as we'll as
skill.
MUNRoE ALL IN.
Munroe again tried TO block Jerfries.
The champion tore through his weak de-
fence and hit him. cruelty Furnishing him
with his right and left just over the belt
and when he went down hit him in tho
mouth. The miner settled back on his
launches in sitting position and nearly
fell on his back.
His head was so wobbly and his whole
frame so relaxed and helpless that Il did
not seem possible that he could respond
I'm 10 seconds. He took the count OF n,ns
and rose slowly. That Graney was fair
was shown as he didn't give snap judg-
ment on the miner when he could have
done so. Munroe did not arise until 10
was counted and Just had sense enough
to clinch when the bell saved him.
In his corner Munroe looked the picture
OF despair. as he was bleeding from the
mouth like stuck pig. and all the fight
was out OF him.
Kid Mccoy and the others did all they
conld IN the miners time TO refresh him.
bus VIXEN he came up for the second round
he was distinctly groggy, and no one
would have bet a nickel on his lasting the
round.
AGAIN is CHAMPION.
He started even with weaker defence

the ring as a lion would drive cow
II was a cruel spectacle Jeffrfes hit him
in the body. over the mouth and In tho

He landed on his knees and took nearly
the full count. When he arose TO his
feet Il was only TO meet Jeffries' punish

spectacle OF weakness and Incompetence
thnt Referee Graney thrust him to ono

DIETRICH
MYSTERY
UNSOLvED

Although considerable mystery sur
rounds the disappearance OF Carl Robert
Dietrich who is believed 20 have commit
ted suicide by leaping overheard from
the Chester w. Chaplin. the Sound steam
or plying between New London and New
York. his relatives in this city, Mr. and
Mrs Otto Fritxche OF 81 Almy street. ex-
press themselves as strongly in favor OF
this supposition.
Mrs Fritzche Is a daughter OF the miss
ing man and is hourly expecting 70 ie-
osivs q letter from her father, said to
have boen left by him on the bunk In
his stateroom on the steamer. The let
ter Is supposed to contain information
bearing directly on the case and is anx-
iously awaited.
Mr. Dietrich was for many years pay
master at the slater Woolen mills at
Webster. Mass. and when last seen IN
that town was writing letter in the Of
fee OF the concern on Wednesday even
ing, Aug. IL.
Briefly stated, he took passage Oh the
so-called boat express to New London
that evening. There he boarded the-
Chester w. Chapin. securing q ststeroon.
After that his movements are veiled in
mystery.
A letter was found on his bed addressed
10 Cnarles VcrDer OF webster, Mass, an
intimate friend OF Dietrich's. This letter
reads as follows:
Dear Friend-When you receive this
letter / shall be no more. ] shall leave
this letter and a letter 10 my daughter
on my bed in the stateroom. and hope
the attendants will forward II.
Il have been troubled with extreme
nervousness for year past, which las
Increased 80 much lately that did not
know what 1 was doing part OF the time.

time, and might as well end II now as
ever Please notify my two sisters In
Germany. and say goodby to all my
friends. ! thank you for the fevors and
friendship you have shown me- Goodby.
Carl. DIETRICH"
There IN Is contained the only clue at
present possessed by the authorities and
as It practically points TO self-destruc-
tlon. that opinion is generally accepted.
Mr.. Dietrich was 81 years Of age and
was n member OF the Masonic Order
and the Odd Fellows. His wife died in
Webster about ~ years ago. Besides
his daughter I'm this city. Mrs. Otto
Fritzche. he leaves two sisters in saxony,
