KAUFMAN 10 TO 7
OVER GARDNER

Since his fight with Berger, Kaufman
has kept himself In the pink of condition,
In the hope that he would be able 10
get on another fight with Jack O'Brien.
With the exception Of HIS last two fights
Kaufman has won all OF his battles In
short order by the knockout route. on
his record he has five knockouts in one
round each. one defeat-by O'Brien In IL
rounds-and one win over Berger.

The Irishman has wins over Marvin
Hart and Jack Root TO his credit, and
he fought 20 hard rounds with Bob Fitz-

tender for the heavyweight near-cham-
pionship.

Al Kaufman will go into the ring at

George Gardner. The men are scheduled
10 battle 20 rounds. but II will surprise the
wise" sporting men II the fight lasts
more than ten. The concensus OF opinion
among the men who ought TO know is
that Gardner will be easy for the Call

Kaufman is I'm great shape for the bat
tie but Gardner cannot be said 20 be In
the best possible condition. OF late Gard

AL is particularly anxious to win this
fight. for II he disposes OF Gardner II Is
altogether likely that ne will get match
on with Tim Sullivan or Jack Johnson
Considering the form OF the two men.

said: I never gave any such orders;

this report, knew that it was untrue.

1T was hard for me to believe him
at that time. Now l know that what
ho said was untrue, and firmly be
liese that he did issue the orders for
mo to be put in prison or to be killed
in case l offered resistance.
We started with all our tribe to go
with Gen. Crook back to the United
Stltes, but feared treachery and con-
cluded to remain in Mexico. We were

Capt. Lswton In the Field.
Soon Gen. Miles was made COM
mander of all the western posts, and
troops trailed us continually. They
wsre led by Capt Lawton. who had
goDd scouts. The Mexican soldiers
also became more active and more
numerous. We had slirmishes almost
every day. and so we finally decided
tc break up into small bands. With
six men and four women l made for
tia range of mountains near Hot
Springs, New Mexico. We passed
many cattle ranches, but had no trou-
bls with the cowboys. We killed cat
tie to eat whenever we were in need
of food. but we frequently suffered
greatly for water. At one tine we
had no water for two days and nights
and our horses almost died from thirst.
We ranged in the mountains of New
Mexico for some time; then, think
ing that perhaps the troops had left
Mexico, we returned. On our return
through Old Mexico we attacked every
Mexican found, even If for no other
reason than to kill. We believed they
had asked the United States troops to
come to Mexico to fight us.
South of Casa Grande, near place
called by the Indians Gosoda, there
was a road leading out from the town.
There was much freighting carried on
by the Mexicans over this road.
Where the road ran through noun
tain pass we stayed in hiding. and
whenever Mexican freighters passed
we killed them, took what supplies
we wanted and destroyed the remand

After some time we left Gosoda
and soon were reunited with our tribe
in the Sierra de Antunez mountains.
Sklrmishing Every Day.
Contrary to our expectations the
United States soldiers had not left
the mountains in Mexico, and were
soon trailing us and skirmishing with
us almost every day. -Four or five
times they surprised our camp. One
time they surprised us about nine
O'Clock in the morning. captured all
our horses (19 in number) and secured

About the middle of the afternoon of
the same day we attacked them from

none ourselves. In this skirmish we
recovered all our horses except three

that we did not recover were the best
