Boxer Bested in Last
Nights Struggle Uith
Neil Died Early This
Morning.

After he had regained cons cious-
ness, Tenny was taken from the
dressing room to Grant avenue
Haman baths and a physician sum-
moned. The fighter had a sinking
spell, but was pronounced out of
danger at 1880. 1t is claimed that
Tenny was subject to spells OF
epilepsy.
Tenny's real name was Harry
Tennebaum. He lived with his IA
Their and mother at S24 Folsom
street. The family owns a number
of pawn shops.
The dead fighters mother called
at the morgue this morning and re-
fused to be comforted.
Neil is the son of Jim Neil, a
we'll known horseman. He notified
the police he would bring his son
to headquarters Immediately.
After the sinking spell Tenny
dropped off to sleep. At 1880 this
morning there was noticed a heart
fluttering, but before restoratives
could be applied. he was dead. At
8 o'clock the body was removed to
the morgue and an autopsy per-
formed. This is the second death

Edwards said: when l went to
work for my father in 1857, we had
to cut the corn from the ear with
a knife. We then cooked it seven
hours and made our own cans for
canning. With the new machinery
We can corn at the rate of one can

Mr.. Edwards states that as near
as he can figure, $4,000 cases can
be put up at Greenacres each year.
This would mean 100000 cans.
Mr.. Edwards would like to have
at least 200 acres of land pledged
to the new concern. A number of
farmers have already signified their
intention to raise either tomatoes

SAN FRANCISCO. March 1. -
Harry Tenny, who was severely
beaten by Frankie Neil and knock
ed out in the 14th round last night,
died at 1880 this morning. The
body was taken to the morgue. The
dead fighter was one of the most
promising amateurs in the country.
He scored 20 knockouts before he
turned professional. In his first
professional fight, which was with
Neil at Colma, the pair went %
rounds, Neil getting the decision.
Tenny's second fight was with
Monte Attell, whom he knocked
out in rs rounds at Goldfields. Neil,
as champion bantam of the United
States, fought Jem Bowker, Eng
lish champion, who got the deci-
sion. Tenny received a merciless
hammering at the hands of Neil at
Mechanics pavilion last night. AZ
ter being carried to his dressing
room it took him 20 minutes to re-
gain consciousness. The blows
which led to the death of the young
fighter were directed at the stom-
ach and heart.

resulting from prize fighting in San
Francisco within a few weeks. The
game has such a strong hold on the
public, however. that 1t is not be-
lieved the sport will receive more
than a temporary check.
Shortly after 9 o'clock, Neil and
Johnnie FRANKIE, his sparring part
ner, went to the hall of Justice and
surrendered to Captain Burnett.
District Attorney Langdon asked
that the charge Of manslaughter be
preferred, and the bond was fixed
at $500 each, which was given.
Later James w. Coffroth, pro-
moter, under whose auspices the
fight was held, came to the Office
of the district attorney and was al
so placed under arrest. He gave
bonds in the same sum.
Morris Levy, secretary of the
fight trust, and Mark Shaughnessy,
trainer and manager of Tenny, were
then arrested and gave bond.
According to the autopsy of the
surgeon, death was due to cerebral
hemmorrhage. There was a LAGER
alton Of the big vein in the left
side of the brain. The hemmorrhage
might have been caused by fall,
succession of blows or over-exer-
ton Of the heart.
