Probably Murdered.

San Francisco, March 1.-On Febru-
airy Is it was reported an attempt had
been made to murder Mrs. Stanford
by means OF poison placed in bottle
of mineral water at her home In this
city 1t was stated she had taken
three drinks of the deadly mixture, but
the poison had been used In such
large quantities 1t served as its own
emetic. Mrs. Stanford was taken vio-
lently i'll, and medical aid summoned.
The contents Of her stomach and the
water remaining were analyzed and
sufficient strychnine to have killed
three persons found. Mrs. Stanford
first drank Of the water January IA
and from that time her health declin-
ed. Altho the story Of sn attempt to
poison her was positively denied, per-
sistent rumors regarding the matter
were circulated. She sailed for the
orient on the steamer Korea two weeks
ago and 1t was believed by her friends
the voyage would result in her COM
plete restoration to health. No one had
access to Mrs. Stanfords apartments
in this city except members of her
household, Tho many theories were
advanced the detectives who investi
gated the affair did not announce dis
covery of any motive for the attempt
ed murder.

NELSON WINS FIGHT
Chicago Fighter Defeats Young Cor
bett, Practically Knocking Him Out
In the Ninth Round-corbett Some
what Ratified,

San Francisco, March 1.--Battling
Nelson, Of Chicago, made Young Cor
bett, OF Denver, appear the poorest
tyro at the fighting game last nigilt
when he practically knocked him out
in the middle of the ninth round. In
order to save their man q complete
knock out the seconds threw up the
sponge.
The man who twice met Terry Nc
Govern was not in 1t with the young
Dane at any stage of the game. In
the early part of the fight on several
occasions he Strengthened Nelson up
with rights and lefts on the jaw but
when 1t came to following UP his adj
vantage his swings were wild. He
seemed to be over anxious while Mel
son at all times was cool and confident.
corbett Showed Old Form.
. In the seventh round. when 1t ap-
peared as If, Corbett were practically
gone, he showed flash of his old time
speed and landed several severe
punches on Nelson's ribs and jaws. 1t
was only a squirt, however and Cor
bett soon lapsed into his semi-groggy'
condition which lasted until the end OF
the fight.
In the eighth round Nelson had Cor
bett against the ropes and the Denver
man claimed a foul and lowered his
hands. No foul was apparent and the
referee did not allow it.
corbett Clearly Outclassed.
Nelson tonight demonstrated that he
is Corbett's superior in speed, accuracy
and aim and ability to take punish
ment and stiff punches.
After the fight Corbett had little to
say. He had no excuses to offer. Nell
son, of course was very happy and his
next effort would be to obtain fight
with Britt, who has once defeated him.

GOPON WARNS CAR
Tells Nicholas That tho Blood Of In
nocent Workmen Will Forever Sep
arate the Russian People From tho
Romanoff Family.

NVUtNUSn 0Uo'$s
Paris. March 1.-The socialist organ,
Humanite. today prints and comments
upon two letters reproduced from
Tribune Russo, bearing the signature
OF GEORGES Gopon," the name of the
Russian priest who led the working
men towards the imperial palace at
st. Petersburg, January %, resulting IN
much bloodshed. The letters appear to
be authentic, altho several interviews
on somewhat similar lines heretofore
have been discredited. One is q letter
addressed to Nicholas Romanoff, for
mer cxar and actual assassin or Rus
sia," and says the blood OF innocent
workmen and their wives and children
will forever separate their assassin
and his heirs from the Russian peo-
pile. The fury Of people has now been
unloosed and it will be useless to offer
them promises, the letter adds:
"Bonlbs and dynamite and the terror OF
popular insurrection await thy OIL
springs and all assassins OF the people.
Rivers of blood as never before per-
haps will flow and even Russia, herself
mag i,as,sssi.. ..ssystis - ties
."Take warning, therefore, and quick
ly renounce. with all thy family, the
throne of Russia and present thyself
before the tribunal OF the Russian peo-
pie. Have pity on thy children thou
who offers peace to others and with
holdest 1t from thine own"
The other letter is addressed to the
Russian people and he declares the
streams OF their blood recently shed
have formed an immense revolutionary
torrent which will now sweep forward
irresistibly.

WOMAN FOUND MURDERED.
Unidentified Body Discovered on the
Sidewalk in Hyde Park.

Sidewalk IN ftyoe Fark.
Chicago, March 1.-The body of an
unidentified woman was found late
last night lying on the sidewalk in
front Of 5529 Monroe avenue in the
aristocratic section Of Hyde Park. She
had unquestionably been murdered by
a revolver bullet fired into her head
behind the right ear, but so far the po-
lice have been unable to ascertain her
name or gain any particulars of the
crime.
Several of the residents of
the neighborhood heard scream fol-
lowed by shot, and hurrying out
found the body of the woman lying on
the sidewalk. She was not known by
any of the residents of the neighbor-
hood, and it is believed came to the
place of her death in a carriage as the
street was muddy and her shoes bore
not theslightest trace of it. There was
no marks on her clothing by which
she could be identified.

YEMEN PROVINCE FIGHT.
Turkish Troops are DESERVING and In
surrectionists Are Increasing.

Constantinople, March 1.-The pres
ent insurrection in Yemen province,
Arabia, appears to put in the shade
all previous revolts. The center of
the movement is at Saada, northward
of Sanaa, and already there are signs
Of it's extension to the province of AS
syr. The insurgents have again sur
rounded Sanaa and stubborn fight
has been in progress five days. Many
Turkish troops are deserting. The
towns Of Aab and Hidjeh are on the
point of capitulating. 1t is alleged the
Turkish victory of February l turns
out to have been an insurgent success.
The object of the insurrection is be-
lieved to be the creation of an auto
nomous Arab state.
