THE PUGlLIST
NELSON STILL
 FINDING FAULT
So Severe Was the Thrashing He Received That He is Confined
 to His Room.

Goldfield. Sept 5.--Well. its all ov- CT out here. and this otherwise quiet and peaceful---almost-m camp , issgradually settling down to It's usual level of work by day and stud poker by night.
 Battling Nelson Is still fin bed, but expects to be able to get on the move tomorrow He Is in pretty bad shape hut is able to let out yell whenever he. is approached which. expurgated. d. resolves itself into a claim that he had Gnns whipped and was about to fin- ish the cclorel boy when he was rob bed of the battle. It Is to laugh. of course. and the town is laughing heartily at Nolan. who is making n spectncle of himself by his ridiculous charges. which are along the same lines as Nelson's.
 Cans will leave possibly to-morrow for Frisco. where he expects to have a try at the theatrical game, although his line of work has not yet been an nounced. He is slightly cut up about the face and bone in his right hand is broken. but otherwise he Is In good shape and able to get bet down ev- eTy tl11c tUt nttft uui SpNts oao"'e "s the roulette table In his hotel.
 There was sore talk here today that Nelson wanted another chance. If he does he can get 1t. for Cans says he would fight again next week. hut the black boy will make the terms next time and will insist upon win ner.take-all afrair.
 Cans claims that Nelson acted like a madman in the ring. Every min nte of the fight" says Cans. "he cursed and insulted me. splitting In my face ani calling me every foul name bc could lay his tongue to. But he could not provoke mo into losing my temper.
 "As you see. broke one of the small bones in my right hand. This was in the twenty eighth round. l believe it was the only reason l fail- ei to nut Nelson ont before he fonieii me. Even withmy broken hand l would have had him down and on the canvas within another four or live rounds. He was SO far In that he was becoming deliriots and talking to him. self. He had taken more punishment than any other man ever fought and his strength in going the pace was marvellous.
 -awhen you come right down to t Nelson did not fight me. He butfesl and wrpstIei. He fought like mad buIldoQ. Had he stood a ffand fought womb have ended him in twenty rounds. hut that is not his style. He i. a rough and tumble fighter pure and simple. able to endure hundreds of blows that would put an ordinary man cut. Tn a few days I will be able to rrs together and take on anybody e,.e who wants to take . chance In winning the lightweight champion ship
 The negro is popular in this coun. try inst now. Scores of men vso bet on Nelson are iOurneyIns to the Bsl- ttmo-pan's hotel to congratulate him op his victory.
