DENIAL MADE
BY BRADFORD
PRESIDENT OF THE c., G. & L.
DENoUNCES STORY OF
DEAL.
he SHOWS THE CONSPIRACY
Morgan Who Controlled the Monon,
Had Reason for Killing the c.,
G. & L. System.

w. A. Bradford, president of the
c., c. & L., takes positive excep-
tions to the statements made by the
attorneys representing the Pere Mar
quette, during the Nashville hearing.
When seen at Cincinnati, he said:
"My sworn answer to the court
states emphatically that | was not,
nor were any Of my associates, a
member of either the Pere Mar
quette or the c., III. & ID. directo-
rates, nor was any member of the
directories of either of those roads
or the members members of the So
called C., III. & d. syndicate, mem
Der of the c., C. q l.. board of direc-
tors until after the c., c. & l.. had
been purchased by the Pere Mar
quette. Neither myself nor any of
my associates in the c., C. & L. own
ed share of either of the Pere Mar
quette or c., III. & ID. stock until aft
er the c., C. & l.. had been purchased
by the Pere Marquette.
"Does it not seem rather queer to
intelligent people that body of bus
mess men would assume the So ,6O0,-
900 underlying bonds of the c., C. &
L., and issue $3,500,00O more bonds
to purchase the road, making a to-
tai of $1O,1OO,OOO in order to get 6
subscription of $625,OOO for stock
The same people owned the Pert
Marquette and the c., HI. & d., and il
would be foolish to presume that 6
set of men would assume an obliga
ton Of $1O,1OO,OOO just to secure
$685., OOO''
Mr.. Bradford was emphatic in his
statements, and said it would bt
proved in the courts that if the c..
c. & l.. had operated to Chicago il
the manner that had been provided
for by the c., G. & L., not only would
the road have paid expenses, but il
would have Melted a handsome profit
"But,' said he, ''this was not in
line with the plans that had been
mapped out, and it would have af-
fected the business, of the Monon
which is Morgan property

DIXON, ONCE |Nv|NC|BLE,
LOST TO YOUTHFUL monk"

One of the best fights that have been
had at the Lymansville club was the one
put on the cards for last evening and it
was about the best attended OF any that
has been held for long time. There were
fully 1900 in the house and not a man
could grumble over the way things were
managed
The main card or the evening was. of
course, the Newsboy- Dixon bout, but dur
ing the other performances there were in
teresting moments also and no dullness
allowed during any part of the show.
The first preliminary was a six-round af-
fair between Joe Grim of Federal hill and
Spunky Taberly. This was fast and fu-
riouS while it lasted but was stopped in
the second Spunk being about all in.
The next affair was an S-round bout
between Young Buster OF Pawtucket and
Jimmy Robinson OF Fox Point. where all
the fighters of repute hail from. There
was no mincing matters between these
two from the time the gong sounded. AZ
the the third round il was all
Buster until In the sixth he land
ed a straight left TO the law
that took all the gimp out of the Fox
Pointer aud the referee interposed

tertainment. Yourall was outclassed from

ready for the crowd, that being between
Little Chocolate" George Dixon. Of Bos-
ton. and Monk the Newsboy OF Provi-
dence. Monk had as his seconds and
handy men Mike BrodericS. Hugh CLANCY
and John Cattanach. On Dixon's side OF
the ring were George Byers, Frank Min
tell and Billy Gardner.
Dixon showed himself the past master
OF the art that he is, but his eye is gone.
1t was Dixon's generalship that saved
him. In defending himself against Monks
aggressiveness the old champion showed
much OF his former skill. and at times
flashes OF his old-time brllancy were in
evidence in his offensive work He COW
cred up grandly and his blocking and foot
work were at times little short OF mar
Vellous.
He was very wild in his swings. mis-
judging distances badly at times. He
missed a terrific left swing for Monks
Jaw in tho ninth round which. had II
landed might have squelched Monks am
biton then and there.
Monk varied his attack against the for
mer champion. lie paid a lot OF attention
TO his jaw, but never let chance slip by
TO drive either hand into Dixon's ston-
ach, although he depended largely on his
left. He landed many stif left lab on
the colored boys ribs and hooked a num-
ber of hard rights and lefts on the Kid
neys.
Dixon tried largely for Monks stomach
and paid especial attention TO his kid
neys in the mix-ups.
