TIPS
HERE

At the last minute Joe Cans, who
meets Jimmy Britt for the light
weight championship Of the world.
in san Francisco today. has either
acquired full confidence in himself
or has suddenly remembered his
thousands of loyal fellow Afro
Americans. and has begun tipping
them TO bet on him TO win
Cans kept as silent as the grave
until yesterday, when James w.
Gray, who keeps a saloon on the
Avenue, where the sports Of color
most do congregate. received the
long-expected and reassurinE tele-
gram from the great negro fighter.
1t read:
Am in great shape. and Will win
sure. Have a bet"
This lifted a big burden of doubt
and suspense from the minds of the
negro bettors, and also Of the wager
ing whites who knew that Cans al
ways made 1t a point to truthfuuy
tip the men of his race about his
condition and prospects before every
big fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 9.-When
Jimmie Britt and Joe Cans strip of
their bathrobes in the squared inclosuro
at the ball park today for their 2e-round
fight for the lightweight championship
of the world, the crowd will gaze upon
two men who are better trained for
TIER contest than any two that have
met on the coast in years.
Il will win inside Of ten rounds with
a knockout" Cans declared this morn
ing. 4 have a personal account TO set
tie and will show my friends Britt has
no license 10 be classed with me- It
was plain from the Negroes attitude he
has not forgiven Jimmie for letting him
bear the brunt Of the blame for their
last fake match, and he is likely to fight
ali the better for this fact.
Britt Explains System.

Iny right and his Jaw with my left"

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept 81 asked
Joe Cans if he wanted to send any
message TO the public The question
made him grin. but he took a short
think before he answered:
Just tell them Joe says he thinks
he'll win"
Cans has reached the required weight.
and his face shows it. He looks as If
the fast half pound had been taken Of
his face. His cheekbones are prominent.
there are hoIIows underneath them.

he IS not the same man he was at

Cans Full of Life.
Eyes, I'm at weight, all right" said
Joe, but I feel mighty different than
that time at GolddeId. I feel like I
had some spring in me. some life, and
the strength TO make a rafting good
fight can promise the people that
they will see a great fight"
There are other people who feel that
Cans viii win. One of them is Billy
Nolan. I asked him if he would like
10 pick the winner.
81 don't mind said Nolan. You can
say for me that 1 think Cans is the
fellow. would bet $4,000 against
$1,000 that he will beat Britt. and I
might take a shorter price on a smaller
scale. If anybody ought to have line
on these men, it is me. and I cannot
figure out that Cans can lose. I intend
10 challenge the winner for Nelson"
Britt to Force Fight.
The Britt supporters are deriving a
lot Of comfort from the view that this
IS to be fight between the new Jimmy
Britt and the old Joe Cans. They figure
that Cans cannot be the man he was a
few years ago, and because Of Jimmy
great fight against Nelson they pick
him TO beat the old master.

 WILL DONATE GROUND
Proposition on Foot in NogaIeS
 to Widen the Main BuSi- ness Street.

NOGALES. April 1S.--Acting on a proposition made by Superintendent w. A. McGovern of the Tucson divis- ion of the Southern Pacific, the Board of Trade and the Town Council last evening decided to widen Morley ave nue provided the consent of the ma jority of the property owners can be secured Morley avenue is the main street of Nogales.
 It is quite narrow and at places there is just room enough for two teams to pass. The amount of busi- ness done on the street demands that the thoroughfare be widened MT. McGoven made a proposition to the citizens to donate some rail road ground on which the railroad has a spur track at present. This ground lies to the west of Morley avenue a
 The buildings that would have to be condemned for the widening of the street are nearly all adobes. If the improvement is made, as it very likely will be, the street will be wid- ened twelve feet.

number of killed, which is attributed to the progress of surgery, but there is an increase in the number Of wounded
 It is calculated that in a period of twenty-seYen wears 97,000 persons met violent deaths and 2000,000 have been wounded. The statistics relate exclusively to crimes referred to the courts and do not include wounds which healed within ten days or cases which were hidden from the police.
 Crimes of blood show a decreasing tendency as compared with the in crease in population. The record for criminality is held by Sicily, where the proportion of murders reaches 42 to every 100000 in habitants in the rrovince of Girgenti. The proportion decreases in other provinces and falls to 25 for every 100000 in Naples. It still further decreases considerably in northern Italy, where, at Bergamo, there is only one murder for every lUU,U00 persons.

MAN STRANGLED 10 DEATH BY
 HOIST CABLE
c, M, Williams, Employed in the Southern Pacific Wen Gang, Met Horrible Fate at Gila Bend.

TUCSON, April lS.-Detlth by strangulation was the horrible fate of c. NJ Williams who was accident ally killed yesterday afternoon at Gila Bend.
 drum and the wire cable on a hoist used in drilling a well at Gila benu and he was strangled.
 Just how the accident happened could not be learned but it is the supposition that Williams was stoop- ing and in slime manner his neck was caught between the drum and the heavy cable used on the hoist.
 In an instant the unfortunate man was caught and drawn up to the drum. The engineer of the hoist no ticed the accident and stopped his enine immediately but not in time to save Williams.
 Had the engineer not stopped his engine it is probable that the wire cable would have severed Williams head entirely from his body.
 Although there were frightful bruises on the neck and side of the head, the neck was not broken. Williams was dead when the cable was taken off him.
 The remains were brought to Tue son this morning.
 Williams was a native of Terry, Miss, and had been with the South ern Pacific company about five months. He was but 21 years old. His parents have been notified of his death and the remains will be held pending instructions from them.
