DEATH ENDS
CAR0USAl

About $50 o'clock yesterday
morning Fred Hunt Of 1923 Nettie
avenue and Charles Green of 216
Main avenue were Mortified on
glancing up to the third story of
the Logan lodging house to see
the body of a man hurting through
the air. He dropped at their feet
with thud. The police were noti-
fed at once and squad arrived
with the patrol wagon and took the
injured man to Sacred Heart hos
pital, where he died In two hours
from a fractured skull and other
injuries.
Detective Weir and Coroner Wit
ter found that the dead man was
Tim Grady, about "a years of age,
and that the fall had been from
the hall window on the third floor
of the lodging house facing the
alley.
Grady, with Cleve Duncan and
Elmer SturguS, had rented room 81
the night before and had come in
about 6 o'clock that morning
Grady remained behind while his
friends went down stairs once
more. While they were gone he
either hurled himself from the
window with suicidal intent or else
fell out by accident
All three of the men had been
drinking heavily all night and
were much the worse for liquor
when they went to their room at
6 O'Clock. Grady, Duncan and Stur-
gus have been friends for a long
time and came to Spokane Satur-
day after some weeks spent har.
vesting in the Big Bend country.
Grady is said to be from Colo
rada, where he has relatives living.
The body is at the undertaking
parlors of Smith & Co.

After the short but interesting
preliminary contest between Lun-
die and Clifford the crowd settled
down for three quarters of an hour
wait in the hot sun.
Tempting offers of $4,000 to
$1,000 on Cans did not meet with
any response.
AT 2;S3 p. m, Judge Hoggett.
the timekeeper selected by the
club, failed to respond and another
man had to be selected. Here was
another chance for Billy Nolan to
get in an objection, and he pro-
tested against any California man
being selected to act. However,
Bert Ulmer of Gold6eld was finally
selected. There was no objection
to Siler.
GOLDFIELD, Sept 3.-Both Nell
son and Cans weighed in promptly
at noon in full ring costume.
Neither man tipped the beam,
which was set at 1873 pounds.
With so much Cans money In
evidence odds of 10 to 6 on the
colored fellow now prevail.
There is a boiling hot sun today.
Eearly this morning a number of
specials arrived and the camp as
sumed busy aspect.
Both fighters got up early and
neither did any work beyond linn
bering up stunts.
Nelson is confident and seems
happy. Cans wears the same old
worried look, but is confident. He
is in good shape, although a trihe
lean and insists he will have no
trouble in cleaning up the Dane.
Cans selected Jack Walsh a

GOLDFIELD, Sept. 3.-At the
final moment 1t is agreed that
Nelson is to get $22,5OO and Cans
$1,000.
The club had to come through
with an additional $4,000 to make
total purse Of $33,500. Both
fighters stood for the holdup, de-
claring they wouldn't fight If the
demand was not granted. Richard
baked a little, but came through
as soon as convinced they mean
business.
Looking over the crowd there
appears to be about 200 women
present. They do not seem to be
of the type one would expect to
see at such an event, but on the
contrary appear to be women of
refinement. They are accompanied
in most instances by escorts and
conduct themselves as though wit
Messing presentation of some
theatrical performance.
There will be a ten round pre-
liminary between Lundie of San
Francisco and Jack Clifford Of
Montana for a $1,000 purse. The
men will fight at 1873 pounds ring
side. The preliminary is sched-
uled for 2 D. m. Pacific time. The
main event will be pulled off
promptly at O'Clock Pacific time.
2 p. m.-Clifford and Lundie
have entered the ring,
Clifford led first with left for the
stomach and missed. A mix fol-
lowed and Lundie drove right and
left crosses to the jaw. Lundie up
percut to the jaw and both ex-
changed wicked body blows. Cliff
ford slipped to his knees but was
up quickly.
After sparring Clifford sent his
right to the stomach, then both
men clinched. The referee sep
arated them. They exchanged body
blows and Lundie sent a right to
the jaw and clinched. Lundie
hooked two rights to the stomach.
Clifford put two right short arm
swings to the jaw and Lundie went
out.

PUNSUTAWNEY, Pa, Sept. g.
At o'clock this morning a battle
between constabulary and "Black
Hand" Italians ended when the
stronghold of the latter was dyna-
mited and burned to the ground.
The Italians continued to fire until
the house was shattered. Troopers
rushed in found only two foreign
ers left. One dead Italian was
found.
AS the constabulary left the
burning house a noise was heard.
3 The police fired several shots and
later when the house was burned to
a shell two bodies were seen to
fall into the ruins. Five Italians
were killed.

Riverside avenue in humorous
endeavor to get together in some
sort of order. Several blocks away
sounded the cornet wailing for
someone to come and lead him to
where the rest of the bunch was.

Of the bunch for 1t wasn't punched

the slide trombone wanted to find

blaring for help.
About that time dark eyed
beauty looked out of a fourth story
window and the trombone imme-
diately commenced a Irritation and
the notes of Not Because Your
Hair Is Curly" filed the air.
Half block away the cornet
was deep in a Irritation with a lit
tie blonde and you could see her
blush from the sidewalk below
when the cornet peeled forth the
air Of Because l Love You"

a noise that sounded like Johnny

But the bass drum was out of
the running altogether and was do
ing the best it could by giving a
lore boom when a girl was noticed
whose attention he wished to at
tract. Finally everybody found
the bunch and some good music
was rendered.

LAb0R'S DAY IS
LAB0R'S TRIUMPH

A memory that will long live
with laboring men of Spokane was
the Labor day parade this morn
ing. 1t presented an appearance
that made all classes of people,
whether belonging to labor unions
or not, feel glad that they're citi-
zens of Spokane as the long line
of hundreds Of sturdy men came
down Riverside avenue with bands
playing, banners waving in the
breeze and the quick and lively
step keeping time to the music.
A squad of 16 policemen in
charge of Sergeant Sullivan pre-
scented a fine front in dress uni
forms. Sullivan was proud of his
min" and didn't hesitate to show
it in the way he threw back his
shoulders.
Thousands of people lined the
streets. All were decked out in
their best holiday attire. They
cheered each representative body
of men as it passed aud the cheers
were loud and long down the
street No sooner was one union
given an ovation when another
came in turn and got it's cheers
until for the space OF time it took
the line Of march to pass Riverside
avenue there was ole continual
great cheer that could be heard
over most of the city.
Business blocks were filled with
men and women and young folks
craning their necks for a better
view while handkerchiefs futtered
everywhere.
After covering the line Of march
as published Saturday the parade
di3banded and people began to
stream to Mantle park, where the
speaking and other features of the
celebration were observed this
afternoon beginning at 2:30.
A feature of the parade was the

GOLDFIED, Sept. 3.-Promptly
at 1854 Battling Nelson entered
the ring first. He was closely fol-
lowed by Joe Cans. Both entered
the ring clad in heavy bathrobes.
The Cans people objected to Ulmer
as official timekeeper on the ground
of inexperience. Cans addressed
the newspapermen saying he want
ed them to understand that he did
not want any of his men enter
the ring or throw up the sponge for
him. The only thing that would
80 would be if Siler asked him If
he had enough or was counted out
He did not want to take chances
on a foul by any of the men in his
corner or any one else.
ee Cans won the toss for cor
ners. He selected the southwest
ern corner by which the sun will
be at his back.
In the list of seconds Tim Nc
Grath is placed in Nelson's cor
ner not in Cans
Cans wore short blue trousers
and shoes. He wore no socks. Mel
son was clad in light green trous-
ers entwined with red, white and
blue ribbons.
Botoh men weighed in at 3
o'clock and came within the re-
CURED weight.
Sullivan announced the men
weighed 1921 pounds each.
Nolan contradlcted this, saving
that the weight was not made pub
lie. Cans had $4,000 In bills in
his hands to bet Nelson at any odds
the latter chose.
AS usual Nolan was there with
more objections. He claimed that
Cans should have weighed In with
bandages. Cans said: Il don't
want any tape any way" and the
crowd cheered. Nelson's arms are
bound with white tape.
Cans timekeeper was Jack
Welch of San Francisco and Char
lie Dixon of the same place Is act
ing for Nelson.
The betting climbed up to 100
to 60 on Cans, but there were no
takers.
