Z ever been able to stop him.
And Weeks is there with a
punch in either hand. When
frankie Neil met Attell the wise
ones predicted that Abe might
win on a decision by being ex-
tremely careful, but that he could
never get away with the long end
of things by standing up and slug
ging with the little Irishman.
But they were mistaken. All
through twenty rounds of the
fiercest kind of milling the He
brew stood up and exchanged
punch for punch with the game
Irish lad, and at the end of the
twentieth round he was in much
better shape than his opponent.
Weeks Has Two Hands
But Frankie Neil had but one
hand-that is, an effective one
while Freddie Weeks is there
with two. Either right or left,
should it land properly, would be
enough to put the toughest man
OF his weight in the business
away, and should Attell try the
same tactics he did with Neil the
Cripple Creek boxer is liable to
leave the Maud Junction pavilion
tonight champion featherweight
of the world.
And all the sports are wonder
ing if Abe will mix it with Weeks
and throw all his science to the
winds. There are but few who
doubt that if Attell adopts his
usual tactics of jab and get away
Weeks will be whipped, but
if Abe lives up to his announced
intention of slugging it out with
the Colorado whirlwind the bat
tie should 60 to Weeks.
The men are directly opposite
in every way. Weeks, built COM
pactly and with muscles like a
blacksmith's, counts on winning
his battles by his ability to as
simulate all the punishment the
other man has to offer and then,
when his opponent has shot his
bolt and is unable to resist the
tireless onrush, win out with a
single punch of those quick
shooting fists.
Attell is the other extreme.
Not depending on his punch but
more on his ability to get away
from his opponent without in
Jury, at the same time inficting
punishment through innumerable
labs and short hooks, Attell usu-
" is on the long end of things

Donohue had not started When they
left Boston last Thursday it was with
the expectation that Donohue would fol-
low them in few days, but thus far in
the season he has not even sent word
that he would be on the way.
Woodman, who is Sam Langford's man
ager. says he is sure Donohue will be
along before long. "He was to have
started a couple of days after we did,
said woodman last night. 'but apparently
he has changed his mind I know he Is
anxious to fight out here, for he has
been looking for chance to meet some

when the chance came I am sure he Is

According to the dope slipped Manager
McCarey by Eddie Keevan, Donohue was
all ready to come to Los Angeles and
meet Jimmy Burns, the manager of jim

already delivered ticket to the Boston
fighter. Now it appears that Keevan had
no power to sign Donohue, for the latter
ignored his proposition and signed up for
fight at Lawrence, Mass.
From the looks of things McCarey will
not be able to get in touch with Dono-
hue If he uses Eddie Keevan as a means
OF communication. The latter does not
stand so well In the east as he did here,
and perhaps the fighters are shy of COM

TRIED TO SAVE
HER PROPERTY
Mrs. S. P. Draney of Plain City
Caught in Wire Fence and
Fatally Burned.

A disastrous conflagration in which
Mrs. S. P. Draney of Plain City was
probably fatally burned. occurred at that
place at ! o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Draney was trying to save some of
her property when she became entangled
in a wire fence from which she could not
free herself until after the flames had
Overtaken her In addition to the in
JurieS sustained by Mrs. Draney the loss
will reach close to 81, 600
At noon yesterday Mrs. Draney, who is
a widow, went to the barn to burn out
a hens nest. One of the little boys who
accompanied her got some chicken lice
on his person and she went with him
to the house to rid him of the insects.
short time after they had reached the
house the second boy discovered that the
Mrs. Draney hurried out and found the
whole structure in flames. She went to
the carriage house and attempted to
pull one of the buggies out. 1t was while
doing this that she became entangled in
the wire fence. Neighbors who rushed
to the fire succeeded in getting Mrs.
Draney free. but not until her clothing
was burned from her body and she was
so badly injured that her life is de-
SPARED of.
The citizens of the settlement formed
bucket brigade and did all they could
to save the property. but accomplished
little. The fire completely destroyed the
barn, together with its contents of hay,
wagons, harness. etc.
Mr.. DTaney about six years ago fell
from a tree on the farm and sustained
injuries from which he died twenty-four
hours later

FREIGHT CARS BURNED,
Fire Started Between Syracuse
junction and Ogden.

Fires starting from sparks from loco
motives falling in the 0Ty grass yeSter-
day ignited a number of empty freight
cars standing on the Oregon Short Line
track between the local yards and SYRIA
cuse Junction. A number of the cars
were badly damaged. An engine was dis
patched to pull away the cars that were
not burning after the fire had been dis
covered. This precaution probably saved
the railroad company quite an extensive
loss. A short distance north of the
union depot a second fire was started in
the grass yesterday afternoon. One tele-
graph pole was burned off near the
ground. About thirty telegraph wires
were put out of commission for several
hours as a result. The local fire depart
ment extingushed the latter blaze.
