was not positive on this point.
Point Against O'Hearn.
Ben Persinger, PIG lizard street. was an
other important witness. He was APP
preaching the saloon when he heard a
shot. He saw two men running away from
the saloon and he went up to the side
door, thinking someone was playing Joke
on Lausten. Just as he took hold of
the door knob a man on the inside COW
cred him with a gun and he jumped back
He then went TO a window and looked in
and saw a man with a long black over
coat taking the money out Of the cash
register. He said the mau who pulled the
gun on him had on a light short overcoat
O'Hearn's coat was shown him and he
said it was like the one worn by the man.
He positively identified OHearn as the
man with the gun.
Henry Mostyn and Harry Mcdonald tes-
titled as TO seeing Nelson on the street car
the night OF the robbery. and saw him get
of at Twenty-fourth and Cunning streets
The only other testimony Of interest was

for Nelson, who had ridden to Twenty

just left the stand The interesting part Of
this evidence was his identification Of Mel

PHILADELPHIA March 1A-Battling
Nelson had the advantage OF Terry MCCOY
ern In their six-round bout. which took
place at the National Athletic club tonight
For the first three rounds the fight was a
disa appointment to the 5000 persons who had
paid fancy prices to witness the bout. There
we're scarcely half dozen solid blows
struck. the men wrestling from one end Of
the ring to the other, with the referee
poweriess to separate them. 1t had been
agreed that the referee was not to lay his
hands on the men, but simply warn them
h step back when they rnshed to a clinch.
The repeated, warnings had no effect on the
lighters and the crowd Missed. groaned and
cried Fake and Take them out Of the
ring"
At the beginning OF the fourth round the
men began TO fight though they meant
business. Nelson kept right after Meow
ern ana used a straight left TO advantage.
McGovern frequently countered with hard
lefts and rights, but his blows while they
appeared toahave great force behind them,
failed TO mako an IMPRESSION on the sturdy
Dane. AT tho close of the fifth round Nc
Govern went to his corner in distress.
When the men came up for the final round
Nelson sent a left 10 the Jaw and McGov-
orn rushed TO clinch. His second cried,
Hold on, Terry! Hold on" and never
were instructions carried out more thor
oughly Every time that Nelson would
land stiff blow McGovern would grab
him around tho body and hang on until
Nelson would throw him of by sheer force
Il is doubtful Il McGoverp could have stood
the grueling for another round. There was
some rough work In the early rounds by
the Dane. lie frequently used his right
elbow and bored i'm on McGovern repeatedly
with his head. Nelson deserved the de-
cision, but as no decisions are rendered
when both men arc on their feet the fight
is classed az draw. Neither man was
knocked down during the fight. but Meow
ern slipped to the moor in the fifth while
trying to escape from the Dane. e.

LOCAL NAVIGATION
ON LAKE BEGINS.
Booth Line Boats Have Started on
Regular Trips for the
Season.

Duluth, April 9.-The masters Of
boats that have wintered at the head Of
lakes are arriving by every train from
the east and all of them will be here
in the next two or three days.
The work of transferring boats from
their winter mornings to the elevators
and ore docks will be general tomorrow,
and it is expected the tugs will expe-
rience very little difficulty in breaking
thru the soft ice.
Local navigation on the north shore
began today with the Booth line. Reg
ular trips will be made between Du-
luth and Chicago Bay and other points
further down the shore.
Chicago, April 9.-Navigation on the
Great Lakes will open April 16. Those
argosies Of commerce that make up the
grain fleet are assembling in the Chi
cago and Calumet rivers, taking aboard
their cargoes Of corn and putting the
finishing touches on the work of pre-
paration for departure when the signal
is given that the straits are open.
In the grain fleet this year are fifty
nine boats. OF this total forty-seven
are nov in the Chicago river. The
belief is general that all grain-bearing
boats will have moved from the two
harbors Of this city not later than the
night Of Saturday, April 81. ..

SON and Saxona were the first steamers
to clear from the local port this season,

Duluth for a day or two and they sail

held up at the 500 as the ice will not
break for ten days, according to the
latest reports. r
