CANS is WINNER.
Defeats Battling Nelson in Forty-Two
Round Contest.

Goldfield, Nev.-Battling Nelson de
liberately fouled Joe Cans in the for
ty-second round of the best and long.
est hght seen in many years. Both
men were tired when the fight ended,
but Cans was apparently the stronger.
He was away ahead on points and had
smashed and cut Nelson all through
the fight without being badly hurt him
self.
Shortly after the forty-second
commenced the men were in their
usual clinch. Nelson had his head on
Cans shoulder and his arm down. Sew
eral times he hit Cans below the belt,
apparently feeling for vital spot. At
last he drew back his right arm and hit
Cans a vicious blow square in the
groin. The colored boy sank to his
knees and rolled over on his back. Ref
cree George Siler without hesitation
ordered Nelson to his corner and
awarded the fight to Cans on foul.
Silers decision received almost
unanimous approval. The foul was so
obvious that not even men who had
bet on Nelson could say that it had
not been committed. All through the
content Nelson had employed rough
tactics. He repeatedly butted Cans and
had TO have his head hauled away by
the referee.
Referee Siler stated to the Associ-
ated Press that while he would not say
that the foul was intentional there was
no doubt but that it had been commit
ted. Nelson. said Siler, had used his
usual tactics all through the fight, and
while he knew that Nelson was butting
whenever he had an opportunity, he
did not disqualify the Dane for that
because he saw 1t was not hurting
Cans, and as no other referee had ever
disqualified Nelson for doing the same
thing he did not feel like doing it. Be
| sides, the referee said he realized that
| the people were there to see the fight
and he did not want to disappoint them.
Stler was loudly cheered as he left
the ring. as was Cans, who was car
ried TO his dressing room. Nelson and
his seconds were hissed as they de-
parted. Billy Nolan, Nelson's manager.
| made disconnected statement In
which he said that Cans had promised
not to claim the decision on a foul, yet
jumped at the very first opportunity to
make such claim. All Nelson would
say was that Cans was tired and quit
Cans, In many ways, put up most
remarkable battle. OF course, his skill
as a boxer was expected to be shown,
but his endurance surprised every one.
His work was the more wonderful
when 1t is known that in the thirty
third round he broke his right hand.
Never after that did he strike a blow
with 1t. with the exception of few
short-arm jolts while clinching. He did
all his work with his left hand, and
put it all over Nelson.

LoVELAND CORN ROAST.
Unique Festival Has Very Large At
tendance.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Loveland, Labor Day, says: The Love
land annual free corn roast has gone
into history as the most deliberately
planned and most largely attended of
any since the corn roasts were inaug-
urated in 1895.
A steady rain on Saturday night and
q portion of Sunday prevented many
from coming who otherwise would
have have been here, and made IT.
somewhat unpleasant underfoot on ac-
count OF the muddy streets. other
wise nothing occurred to mar the
pleasure of the occasion.
Every train during the forenoon
came in loaded with visitors and one
from the north had to return to Fort
Collins for a second load Several
specials were run over the sugar road.
while hundreds of persons came from
the surrounding country by wagons.
1t is estimated that from 5000 to 5000
visitors were present.
The business streets were elabo-
rately decorated, while the illunina-
tion in the evening was very pretty.
The corn roast was held on the cam
pus Of the Washington street school,
where several thousand visitors were
served with free lunch consisting or
roast corn, sandwiches, coffee and
fruit.

Cure for Snake Bite.

Theron W. johnson contributes the
following to the Denver Republican
for the benefit of those who have stock
and have them bitten by rattlesnakes,
hoping 1t may be of benefit to them.
"In 1887 / was traveling over Califor-
mia selling a remedy for blaessleg in
cattle and stopped with man named
Newell, about twenty-five miles north
of SacraSiento. Mr.. Newell told me
that prior to that time he had a horse
that he considered quite valuable bit
ten by rattlesnake, and he knew OF
no remedy to cure 1t. The horses head
and neck had swollen much and Mr..
Newell told me he expected the horse
would die. A man came along the road
and asked what was the matter with
the horse and he was told. He in
quired of Mr. Newell II he could secure
several raw onions and some salt; IL
he could, he could save the horse. He
secured the onions and salt and
pounded them up together and made a
salve which he bound to the wound
and as it dried he put on fresh salve
and cured the horse"

SETTLING ARID LANDS.
Great Rush for Farms in Eastern Colo
orado.

Denver.-That the unsettled land in
Colorado is being rapidly populated is
demonstrated by the report of the Gen
eral Land Office of this district for
August. The records show the largest
number of filings in any one month for
ten years.
The showing made in Adams, Arapa-
hoe and Morgan counties is unprece-
dented. The land in these sections
has heretofore remained useless on ac-
count of the dryness and lack of wa
ter so the number of the entries
within the last month indicates how
fast the unsettled portions of the state
are being occupied by dry farmers"
During the month 47,100 acres were
taken up in these counties. OF these
25,600 acres were desert land involv-
ing eighty entries. The homestead
entries numbered 1876. According to c.
l.. Dickson of the Hugo Land Office,
who visited Register Ford Saturday.
the Hugo Office also had rush of busi-
ness last month. Up to week ago 100
homestead entries and thirteen desert
entries were filed in the Hugo destrict
which includes Kit Carson, Cheyenne
and Lincoln counties. The desert
claims, he said, were all filed one after
noon by Cripple Creek people who
were interested in an irrigation pro-
ject.

San Francisco y. M. C. A. Building.

With the arrival in Denver last
night of Henry J. Mccoy, secretary OF
the Young Mems Christian Association
of San Francisco, says the Denver
News, came the announcement that he
had raised $4,000 toward the fund of
$500 900 to rebuild the association
building in the Golden Gate City, de-
stroyed by the earthquake. Twelve
men contributed the amount named,
and John D.. Rockefeller heads the
list with s25O,000. This makes a total
of $450,O00 which the oil king has
given, altogether, to San Francisco
since It's misfortune. as he gave $780,
900 Immediately after the quake and
100000 little later.

China Promised Constitution.

Peking.-The emperor has issued an
edict promising constitutional govern
ment when the people are fitted for it.
The edict says:
Since the beginning of our dynasty
there have been wise emperors who
have made laws suited to the times.
Now that China has intercourse with
all nations, our laws and political sys-
TEN have become antiquated and our
country is always in trouble. There
fore 1t is necessary for us to father
more knowledge and draw up new
code of laws, otherwise we shall be
unworthy of the trust of our forefath-
ers and the people"

Denver BUILDING Record.

Denver-The best record for Angus.
since 1891 was made last month, ac-
cording to the report of Building In
spector Robert Willison. The total
cost OF buildings for which permits
were issued amounted to $SO7,316,
$316,97S more than in the same period
last year. The 209 permits issued.
however, show a decrease against
those issued in August, 1905. The
Carnegie library permit was the main
factor in swelling the record. Per-
mits were also granted for the erection
of II business buildings, at the cost OF
S117 s1J.
