BATTLING NELSON DECLARED
WINNER IN NINTH ROUND
LAST NIGHT.
Corbett's Work Was That of an ANA
teur-Dane Was Perfect Fight
~
ing Machine. es ~,

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1-Bat-
tling Nelson again demonstrated last
night that he is the master of Young
Corbett by practically knocking him
out in nine rounds. Corbett's work
was that of an amateur compared with
the finished style of Nelson's boxing
and after the fifth round it was seen
that Corbett would be lucky if he
stayed as long as he did in mis- former
fight with the Dane.
After two minutes of fighting in the
ninth round Corbett was f1oored by a
right hook to the jaw. Before he
could arise his chief second, Spider
Kelly threw up towel acknowledging
that Corbett's chances of ever regain
ing the championship had passed. Cor
bett lacked his old time speed and
punching power and could not gauge
his blows with any degree of accuracy
Many wicked swings sped harmlessly
over Nelson's head while the Dane
planted blow after blow with powerful
precision.
Corbett rallied in the seventh round
when it looked as if he was practically
cut landing several hard blows on the
Danes body, but Nelson came back
like a wnirlwind and mad Corbett in
a groggy condition. In the eighth Nell
son forced Corbett to the ropes re-
peatedly landing heavy blows to the
head and body. Corbett displayed
considerable cleverness in protecting
his jaw and the Dane could not land
the fatal punch.
Corbetts admirers lost heavily as
result of the fight.

man, on trial here for arson. alleged
TO have been committed in Williams
county "a years ago. Attorney Fellows

or the governor of Michigan to extra

to the prosecution. The state intended

Letcher
The state produced four witnesses
whose testimony was to the effect thai
there had been a fire at MONTPELIER at
the time specified in the indictments
and that Letcher was interested in
several stocks in stores of the village
and was seen in the vicinity of the
premises at the time of the confag-
