KAUFMAN won DECISION
IN FIGHT WITH SULLIVAN
Sullivan Best in Early Rounds. Kauf.
man Lacked Knockout Punch to
Finish His Man.

Colma, CAL, Nov. 29.-(Special
to Pioneer. )-Al Kaufman of this
city was awarded the decision over
Jack (Twin) Sullivan, at the end of
twenty-five rounds last night. The
decision was clear cut.
The fight up to the tenth round
was practically an even affair. After
that, however, Kaufman forged
to the front, and was never in dam
ger again. Sullivan did his best
work in the early rounds, and for a
time it looked as though he might
win. 1t was a give-and-take affair
up to the tenth, with Sullivan hav-
ing the better of it.
In the sixteenth round Kaufman
cut loose. He forced Sullivan from
one end of the ring to the other.
landing almost at will, with lefts. and
rights to the jaw. He tried to put
Sullivan out, and in time weakened
himself, showing that he lacked that
one requisite-a knockout punch.
From this time on, one round was a
repetition of the other.
Sullivan showed great gameness
throughout the rest of the fight. In
almost every one of the following
rounds it seemed almost certain that
he must 60 to the mat from the
gruelling shower of rights and lefts
to the jaw, but he always came to
the scratch, although apparently in
great distress. He stalled Kaufman
to save himself from punishment.
Kaufman thereafter devoted his
attacks to Sullivan's stomach, and
during the last few rounds put in
several vicious punches, any one of
which seemed powerful enough to
put out any ordinary man.

SHOT HIS WIFE TO DEATH
Wealthy Brooklyn Man Then Jumps
From Ninth Story Window.

New York, Nov. 29-John Whitley,
one of the leading dealers in stoves,
ranges and house heating apparatus in
Brooklyn and vice president of the
Reliance Ball Bearing Wringer COM
pany, killed his wife with two pistol
shots as she lay sleeping in her room
on the. ninth floor of the Hotel Belle
Claire in this city. Whitley then
leaped from the window into the
street, being killed instantly by the
fall. Whitley was sixty years old and
his wife thirty-eight years. They had
a home in a fashionable section in
Brooklyn, but had been living tenn
porarily at the Belle Claire.
No motive for the murder and sui.
eide could be discovered, but financial
troubles are surmised In the room
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Whitley was
found a checkbook on the Franklin
Trust company showing that all the
funds were exhausted. The couple
had always lived lavishly.
A cab driver who saw Whitley's
body, dressed only in pajamas, lying
on the sidewalk, gave the first notice
Of the tragedy. Search Of his apart
ments revealed the body of Mrs. Whit.
ley stretched on the bed with two bull
let holes through her head. She had
evidently been shot while asleep.
From the appearance of the room it
is believed that Whitley, after shoot
ing his wife, attempted to send bull
let through his own brain, using a
hand mirror to aid him in directing
Its course, but at the last moment lost
his nerve and chose death in dive
to the street.

LEAVING FREIGHT BEHIND
Ocean Liners Fit Up Their Holds for
Storage PASSENGERS.

New York, Nov. 29.-That the esti-
mate that $4,000 emigrants will leave
New York this week for European
ports is far below the number that
will probably sail is the opinion ex.
pressed by Gustav H. Schwab of the
North German Lloyd At least 10000
and perhaps 10000 will sail, accord
Ing to Mr.. Schwab's figures. The
Pennsylvania railroad alone brought
more than 1000 to New York in one
day.
Every steamer sailing is filed to-.
its capacity with steerage passengers
and although the steerage rate was
again raised, this time from S31 to
sac, 1t made no difference with the
number of people demanding tickets.
Carrying passengers, even in the
steerage, is more remunerative than
carrying freight and number of the
small lines are fitting up the holds Of
their ships for the accommodation OF
passengers and are leaving freight be.
hind. Several steamers that have
heretofore carried only freight are
now carrying steerage passengers.
A curious feature of the situation is
that the number of immigrants arriv.

than for any November on record. It
Is believed that most of these made
their plans before the great exodus
began and that as soon as the van
guard of the present horde reaches
Europe there will be great falling of

MANY MAKE LARGE HAuLS
Trunk Filled With Money Found
in Ruins of Frisco Fire.

San Francisco, Nov 2o.-Told by an
old woman that she believed there was
money buried in the vacant lot at
Green and Powell streets, where
lodginghouse had stood before the fire
of last year, Leon Thomas and another
boy went to work with pick and shovel
to find it,
They had not been digging long
when they uncovered an old trunk
crammed full of gold, silver and cur
rency. Within few minutes 1000
persons We're fighting for the money.
Police arrested twenty-four persons,
who had in their possession about
$4,000 Dozens who made larger hauls
escaped. The'two boys who made the
discovery carried off $4,000, but this
was confiscated by the police, who re-
covered, all told, about $4,000.
The police estimated that the trunk
had held $4,000. The money had
been buried by an old woman, who
disappeared at the time Of the earth
quake.

Soaked by Catalogue House.

A good and true story is told of
farmer who does not reside more
than few miles from Austin, MINI.
He buckled on to the notion that
he could accumulate more property
purchasing most of his stuff from
Chicago catalogue houses. When
his wife wanted gasoline stove, he
sent to Row, Sawbuck & Co., and
got catalogue. Selecting a gas
stove from the fine illustrations, a
stove that suited his better half, he
ordered it sent C. CD. When it
arrived he paid his money and took
the stove home, supposing that it
was like the glittering description in
in the catalogue The next day the
farmer, with blood in his eye, drove
up to the station with the stove,
which he deposited on the platform.
He next made a demand for his
money, saying that the stove was no
good. He was informed that his
coin had been sent to Sawbuck &
Co., as per request, and that he
would have to go to the Windy City
if he wanted his money back. He
left the stove just the same, and
went away saying things that the
government does not allow us to
print. There are many other people
in the vicinity of Austin who have
told similar experiences in sending
for goods from outside merchants,
not only gasoline stoves, but as
well worthless furniture, dry goods,
groceries and other kinds of merchan-
disc have been received. Patronize
home merchants and you will be
spared much annoying experiences.

LITTLE jim, The PAGER,
CERTAINLY WENT SOME
Several Notorious Horsemen Involved
in the Turf Scandal Surrounding
the Hibbing Ringer.

The scandal attached to Little
Jim," the PAGER which raced here
last fall, will not down.
The Duluth News-Tribune says:
In their efforts to thoroughly
establish the identity of Little Jim,
the Hibbing pacing gelding, the
stewards of the American Trotting
association are rapidly showing up
one of the worst ringers" in the
history of harness racing in the
United States. So far it has been
learned that the Ansley horse has
been "rung" under at least four
different names bearing as many
different records. His real name
is Guy Red, 2:11-4. This has been
thoroughly established by Secretary
w. H. Knight of the American
Trotting association and by the
man that broke and trained him.
Both men visited Hibbing last week,
looked the animal over and immedi-
ately determined who Little Jim
is.
SO far the horse has been traced
back to Tatro, the New Richard
teamster, who is under suspension
for ringing" He raced Little Jim
under the pretty name of Gloria
and drove him to record of PA IA.
The horse was being looked up at
that time and, things getting too
warm for Tatro's comfort, he dis
posed of him to George Barnard,
the Royalton, Mimi, man who
owned the notorious George F.,
PIP IA, that was expelled in Duluth
last fall for being confirmed

after the accident, but continued on
their course at terrific rate of speed.

Lahore, India, Nov. 29-The efforts

time been enormously hampered by
the refusal of the Mohammedans to

Kansas City, Nov. 29.-Seven men

the result Of a fire in tWo-story brick

An explosion Of gas was the cause Of
the fire.
The seven victims Of the disaster

It is doubtful whether their identity

white railroad laborers and as the
proprietor, Edward O'Connell, kept no

his guests nor the number of persons
in the place. O'Connell said that his
house would accommodate 200 men,
but that he did not believe there were
more than fifty in the rooms when the
explosion occurred.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by guest who lighted

Bodies of Victims in a Pile.
When the flames were sufficiently
subdued to permit of the fremen en-
