Robbed and Left TO Bleed to
Death.
POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING
Felled by a Blow Over the Eyes and
Dragged to Doorway Where Arte-
ies in Both Wrists Were Opened. Po-
lice are Busy.

Chicago, July 24,-The police believe
that the death of John Tesmer at the
county hospital yesterday, an hour after
he had been found in a doorway at Ash.
land Avenue and Emily streets, was
due to injuries inflicted by men who
had attacked him.
Tesmer, who is prosperous real es-
tate dealer, had collected rent at sever
al places and was going to his home
when he was attacked by robbers, A
blow on the left eye, which left an ugly
cut, is believed to have knocked him
unconscious. He was dragged into a
hallway where he was found several
hours later.
Several cuts were found on Tesmer's
hands and arms, Two long gashes,
which opened the arteries OF the wrists
are believed to have been inflicted de-
hberately while the man was in the
power of the bandits. After the rob.
bers had taken Tesmer's watch and
s55 from him they sat him in an upright
position and left him to bleed to death
from the severed arteries in his wrists
Search for Tesmer's assailants has so
far been unavailing.

and Charles Wittmer, one of the best
heavyweight wrestlers in the country,
is practically closed and the bout will
probably be held January co. Witt
mer's challenge was received by
Dwyer on the night of his last match
with Leonhardt, and this morning the
Irishman accepted the proposition
and submitted his terms.
Wittmer weighs about 200 pounds
and will have some thirty or forty
pounds the advantage Of the local
man BIT Dwvvr says he wants an or-
portunity to show how much superior
speed is to weight.
Wittmer enjoys the distinction of
having held Yousouf, the terrible
Turk, to a draw in one Of the hercest

Leonhardt's proposition was that
he s:.ould throw Dwyer twice in an
