DIXON DEFEATED.
Murphy Beat Former Featherweight
Champion in Two Rounds.

George Dixon. for twelve years the feather
weight champion Of the world. was beaten
down by Tommy Murphy Of New York in
two rounds at the National Athletic Club,
Philadelphia, last night. Dixon did not even
exhibit a shadow OF his former prowess
with the gloves. He was unable to block
Murphy's blows or stop his incessant rushes.
Early in the first round Murphy reached
Dixon's body with left and right hand
blows. This waa the beginning Of the end.
The little champion of champions retired to
his corner at the end Of the first round In
distress.
Scarcely thirty seconds Of the second round
had elapsed before it was apparent to the
crowd that Dixon was merely punching

with Indifferent success. Last nights bout
was his first on his return. He has lost

maintained are beautiful.
In 1898 the butter hauled over the Min
neapolis & st. Louis railroad was 400,-
900 pounds. Last year it was nearly a.

Quebec.-As the result of the recent
decision of the British privy council, two
fugitives from American justice will
probably soon be taken to the United
States to stand trial for their serious Of
Tense against the laws.
Years ago, before ~eXtradition treaties
had been arranged with European coun-
tries, the Canadian dominion or the
South and Central American republics,
1t was a common practice of American
criminals to seek refuge outside the o.
ders of the States" Canada, being
easy of access, was a favorite hcrbor for
embeZZlers and defaulters, and many
there defied the efforts of justice to bring
them to trial.
Even after agreements had been eff
fected with most of the countries, men
who had decamped with considerable
sums preferred taking their chances
with the extradition laws and with
government officials whose decisions
they could often influence with their ILL
gotten wealth, rather than remain at
home where certain punishment awaited
them.

During their five years residence in

ostracized. For a long time after they
fed to Quebec the exiles lived in sumptu-

where their lavish expenditures amused
and sometimes awed the simple people
of that city. They were together every
day, but they had a quarrel and separat-

that led them to abandon their palatial
quarters and take up separate private
residences.

stomach commenced acting bad and
choking as if l had swallowed some
thing the size of an egg. One doctor
said it was neuralgia and indigestion.

The doctor pronounced it

was so weak l could not sit up.
my husband brought my supper to
my bedside with a nice cup of hot cof-
fee, but l said: Take that back, dear.
l will never drink another cup of cof-
fee if you gave me everything you are

heaven and earth to hush the matter up.
In December, 1899, Gaynor and Greene
and the other members of the Atlantic
Construction company were indicted by
the United States grand jury at Savan-
nah for a conspiracy to defraud the
United States of $575, 949. so. A few
days later the indicted men surrendered
to United States Marshal Shields in
New York.
Then followed a long struggle against
~extradition to Savannah. Gaynor and
Greene had appeared in Savannah and
had each given a bond of $40,0 0 Step
by step the case was fought, and when
the United States supreme court finally
swept away all distractions between
them and their trial, Gaynor and Greene
fled to Canada, and their bail bonds were
forfeited. 1t IS said that the bondsmen
were afterward reimbursed by the fugi-
tives.
The two men went to Montreal first
and then to Quebec.
Kidnapped by Detectives.
Extradition Commissioner Lafon-
taine at Montreal issued a warrant for
the arrest of the fugitives on the ap-
~plication of the United States. Then
followed a dramatic event. On May 10,
1902, a party Of detectives went to
Quebec secretly with Commissioner La
fontaine's warrant, bounced upon Gay
nor and Greene, thrust them into closed
cabs, put them on the tug Spray, the
swiftest vessel on the st. Lawrence,
and started at full speed for Montreal.
Gaynor shouted from the cab window

hand, Capt. Greene, who lives with his
wife and servants in ar equally fine
house in the same quarter of the city,
is practically a recluse and sees nobody
but on the strictest business, applying
himself entirely to study. In spite of
their money, in spite of the clique of
lawyers and politicians who have, for
pay, helped them to defy justice, public
sentiment in Quebec regards these two
fugitives with scorn. Greene alone
seems to understand the real bitterness
of his lot. And now that the privy

this was forfeited.
Efforts to extradite Gaynor and
Greene from Montreal were progressing
%fayorably and the extradition comrsis-
sion was sitting in Montreal when Gay
nor and Greene went to Quebec. A
question arose as to whether they could
be brought back and detectives kid
aaped them and took them to Montreal.
There was a big legal fight over this ac-
zion and a Quebec judge issued a writ of
habeas corpus which was served on the
taller at Montreal, who delivered up the
prisoners without notification to the ex-
tradition tribunal and permitted them

uuash the writ of habeas corpus under
which they had been returned were de-
MED by Justice Caron.

How Government Was Fleeced.
To understand this extraordinary case
it is necessary to recall its events. On
April "a, 1888, Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter,
Of the United States corps of engineers,
took charge of the improvement of riv-
ers and harbors at Savannah, Ca, for
which work millions of dollars had been
appropriated. He 81 managed matters
that the Atlantic Construction COM
pany, consisting of John F. Gaynor,
Capt. Greene and E. H. and w. T. Gay
nor, got control of the contract.
In May, 1897, Capt. Carter was ap-
pointed military attache Of the United
States legation in London against his
protest. Capt. Gillette, the engineer
officer appointed to succeed him in
charge of the Savannah improvements.
charged Capt. Carter with a conspiracy
to defraud the government in connee-
ton with the harbor contracts. In De-
cember, 1897, the secretary of wa- or
dered the trial of Capt. Carter by court
martial. The charges were. roundly,
that Carter drew the specifications for
contracts so that no firm but the Allan
tic Construction company would dare to
bid on the work, that interior work and
materials were accepted and that the
surplus moneys above the actual cost
were divided pro rata between Gaynor,
Greene and Carter.
