DECISION SATISFACTORY.

Neither Cans nor Nelson was stir
ring this morning. Nelson is so
badly battered that he will stay in
doors until he can leave town.
Cans goes to San Francisco in a
few days to consider a theatrical en-
gagement. With the exception of
Nelson's party. not a dissenting
voice has been heard about the decis
ion awarding yesterdays fight to
Cans on a foul.
Even losers in betting make no
complaint, and numbers OF them
called on Cans after the fight and
congratulated him. Cans says that
he was offered $4,000 to let Nell
son win. He would not say who
made the offer.
President Rickard stated that the
receipts for the fight amounted to
approximately SIS 900, and that the

weight champion of the world. AT
ter forty-two rounds Of fighting with
Battling Nelson. the rugged Dane,
here to-day, Cans received the de
cision of Referee George Siler, Of
Chicago, on a foul. All through the
mill Nelson violated the rules by
butting with his head. for which
he was repeatedly warned. but in
the last round, when he evidently
realized that he was up against it
for the nrst time in his ring career
the battler hit HIS antagonist below
the belt in such a manner that Cans
fell TO the floor IN agony.

WILLING TO FIGHT AGAIN.

Larry Sullivan announced for
Cans that ne would meet Nelson in
two weeks in another fight. as he
was sure he could whip him, and
did not want 20 take advantage Of
the foul. IL is hardly probable.
however, that the men will meet a
gain in that time.
Cans explained his method by
saying that he did not want TO box
Nelson for fear of firing himself.
He found early in the game
that he could protect himself
in clinches, and also realized that
the eNertion in lighting that way
was much less than If he stood back
and did some showy boxing. He
was hitting Nelson all the time and
maneuvering, so as TO make the.

THAT CowARDLY BLOW.

The blow was clearly seen by near

ALMOST PUT OUT.

Time and again Cans would Jolt
him on the jaw sending the Dane
back. His knees would bend ana
his eyes become glazed, but he al
ways fell into a clinch and held on.
and would then come back lighting
as hard as ever in his peculiar style
The minutes rest at the corner al

come up fresh and strong. On
nearly half a dozen occasions II
seemed another blow would put the
white boy out but the gong saved
him.
On several occasions Nelson ap-
parently had the advantage. He
would hit Cans as they broke from
clinch and the colored boy would
hang on and wrestle.

FAST WORK.

The first fifteen rounds of the
fight were fast. After that the
men slowed up, and only at inter
walls was there a rally. Although
Cans was far ahead of Nelson in
points and most of the time looked
like sure winner, Nelson put up
a wonderful fight on his side. The
endurance and recuperative powers
shown by Nelson were extraordin-

CANS PLAYED FAIR.

Cans fought a remarkably clean
hight. He was fair in everything.
and twice when he knocked Nelson
down, picked him up. One time
when one of the Cans punches
Knocked Nelson through the ropes.
Cans picked him up and helped him
to his feet AS the colored bow
stood with his hands down waiting
Tor Nelson to steady himself. Nell
son gave him a vicious blow In the
stomach. Nelson was roundly hiss
ed for this by the crowd.
Although Goldfeld is a mining
camp, IT is seldom that a more or
derry crowd ever attended such n
contest. There was no disturbance
of any kind and no rough language
used.

the way that Joe Cans won the light

cond round of one of the greatest
battles on record:
Cans, who had been getting the
better of it, started the round with
a left to the face, and they clinched.
Nelson had his head on Cans
shoulder, and his arms down. Sew
eral times he hit Cans below the
belt, apparently feeling for a vital
spot. At last he drew back his
right arm and hit Cans a vicious
blow square in the groin. The col
ored boy sank to his knees and rolled
over on his back. Referee Siler,
without hesitation, ordered Nelson
TO his corner and awarded the fight
to Cans on a foul
The blow was clearly observed by
every one in the arena, and none of
the spectators uttered protest when
the decision was rendered that end

sILER's DECISION APPROVED.

Siler's decision received almost
unanimous approval The foul was
so obvious that not even men who
had bet on Nelson could say that
IL had not been committed. Nelson
he said, had employed his usual tac
tics all through the fight. and while
he knew that Nelson was butting
whenever he had an opportunity, he
did not disqualify him for that, be-
cause he saw that it was not hurting
Cans and because no other referee
had ever disqualified Nelson for
doing the same thing. Besides,
the people were there to see a fight
and he did not want to disappoint
them.

 and Sent to HermosiIIo.

MORALES. Ariz.. Oct. 9.-Brunc villareal, Juan Garcia. Antonio Rubio and Joaquin Fuentes were brought to this city last night by Chief Immigra- ton Inspector Webb and Inspector Murphy, of Tucson, and immediately forced across the border where a com pany of Mexican rurales were in wait ing to arrest them. The moment that the men set foot on Mexican soil they were handcuffed and chained by the rurales and started for Hermosillo of treason against the Mexican re public.
 The six men are the remainder of the band of so-called revolutionists who were arrested at Mowry. Pata- gcnia and Douglas. Two others of the band are now awaiting action by the United States grand jury. while Salcido, another member, was de ported to Mexico and sent to the State prison at Hermosillo, at which place it was recently rumored he had been shot.
 The six men who last night were forced across the line were merely charged Tn this country with being alien immigrants. The hearing of their cases took place in Tucson three weeks ago and the dispositions and evidence taken were forwarded to Washington. The Government au- thorities yesterday notified the Tue son Immigration officers that the men had been found to be alien immi- grants and their immediate deporta- ton to Mexico was ordered. Captain Wedd and Inspector Murphy at once started with the men for Nogales and the Mexican authorities got quiet tip that the much wanted enemies of their republic were about to be forced across the line.
 Despite their protests the six agi- tstors were hurried to the line i'm mediately upon Captain Webb's ar rival in Nogales. A big force of ru- raleS was in waiting at the border and

MEXICAN KILLED BY DOUGLAS ORE TRAIN Knocked From Car Beneath Wheels By Electric

DOUGLAS, Oct. 9-(Special.)-
 A fatal accident occurred at the sampling works of the Copper Queen smelter this morning in which Carmel Morales, a Mexican youth about eigh. teen years of age, was instantly killed
 by being run over by an ore train. It seems that Morales jumped upon a car which was being switched about >the works and was moment later knocked from the car by an electric light pole and thrown beneath the cars. The head of the unfortunate man was severed from his body as though cut

it was very evident that the Mexican authorities meant business. When
 the prisoners approached the line ant
 saw the rurales waiting for them they made frantic pleas to be released.
 Just at the line, in sheer desperation. the men began to struggle and at tempt to escape. Captain Webb, how ever, had feared some such move and at Nogales had been reinforced ty several Territorial rangers. These men proved too much for the prison CTS and the struggling sextette was
 forced over the line and into the hands of the waiting rurales.
 In the excitement some of the ru- rales seized and attempted to hand cuff Captain Webb, who was mistaken for a prisoner. Webb made loud protest and showed one of the rurales who was trying to handcuff him, away. For a brief moment it looked as if the misunderstanding would bring on trouble. but explanations righted the incident
 Of the men who have gone to their fate in Mexico, three are said to be college graduates. Bruno Treyino and Leonardo Viliareal were educated in the City of Mexico while Carlos Hum- bert is a graduate of the University of Paris. While undoubtedly these men will have to serve prison sen tences in Mexico for plotting against the Mexican government, the Mexi- can authorities have assured the United States officials that they will not be shot.
 Inspector Murphy said last night that the immigration authorities have been assured that the rumor of the shooting of Salcido is false and that the man is alive and we'll in prison at Hermosillo.
