whom he held as a popular sentiment
| official, may lead many to believe that
! Abe expects a very close battle. The
contrary is true. Attell sincerely be-
| lieves thta he will win via the knock
out route, but nevertheless is preparing
for emergencies.
Chances are strong that Baker will
be loudly acclaimed during the battle
should he be able to go evenly with At
tell. Should the twentieth round dawn
Baker adherents will be wild with an
ticipation even though Attell had out
pointed their man.
More than one referee has responded
to the popular call. Were Baker in At
tells position he would be wise to make
similar preparations. 1t Is l to 10 that
Jim Jeffries will be third man in the
| ring, though he has not yet given his
word. Jim is holding out for a fancy
price and will probably get 1t if he re-
mains firm.
Great an attraction as Jeffries is,
| there comes limit to referee compen-
sation. The coming battle for a time
appeared in the air and Jeff was the
only resource available. 1t is no ten,
| fifteen or twenty thousand dollar bat
| tie however and a reasonable amount
| should suffice the big champion.

Talk of Sending Bill squires Against
Winner Of O'Brien- Burns Battle.
Gans=O'5rien Match Is
Laugh

What does Jack OBrien mean by
spending SO much time away from
home? Soon must be sent a special
commissioner southwark, on rescue
bent when John may be expected to
drop in from the north. 1t is really the
only good plan for getting Mr.. OBrien
on safe ground.
During the past two weeks Jack has
been flirting with the Nevada fistlc
promoters, ana his persuasive tongue
appears TO have secured a hammerlock
on the miners. At that OBrlen has not
made known any attractive matches.
Somehow or other he talked them into
offering him a match with Joe Cans
Aftermath reflection. however, showed
the Nevada folk that they might be
eating of the yellow fruit and as a re-
suit there has not been anything sub
stantial doing,
No doubt, however. Jack has not beer
wasting his time, and probably will re-
turn with some sort of a match TO pro-
pose.

Jim Jeffries and Squires appears out OF

| } NOBABL4 no greater speculation
ever attended a prize ring con-
test held in Los Angeles than that
which exists as regards the Attell-
Baker featherweight bout, which is
scheduled to occur at Maud Junction
next Friday evening.
According to many who witnessed the
previous affair between the two men,
in which Attell carried off the decision,
Baker was done an injustice. The COM
ing fray should prove conclusively
whether Attell is his opponents mas
ter Without doubt he was entitled
to the former verdict, though Baker
showed himself to be classy ringster.
Baker, however, is entering the ring
under better auspices, as he has been
training under the tutelage of Frank
Mcdonald, whose peer as a conditioner
among the present trainers does not
exist. If Harry wins he may be count
ed wonder, as in Attell he meets the
cleVerest man Of his weight that could
be brought against him. In addition
to his boxing prOWess Attlell possesses
natural fund of rugged strength which
stands him in good stead.

night between William Demetral of
Chicago and Carl Pons, the French
champion Of Montreal, was won by
Demetral in one of the toughest con-

two falls out of three.
The men became so belligerent and
the crowd so boisterous that the man

wear down Abe by a succession of the
jabs and punches which he has de-
veloped to a superlative degree. So
closely are the men matched as to
cleverness that the question of stamina
and strength enters strongly into pre-
battle calculations.
Baker started his work at o'clock
yesterday afternoon and concluded a
whirl at the bag and shadow work by
taking on Eddie Meeney for several
rounds.
Attell is wasting no time at Arcadia.
During the rainy weather which pre-
vailed recently Abe did not shirk his
work, but devoted more than an hour
each day to gymnasium activity.
The champion appears the stronger
man. He is of the close, compact
build, while Baker, rangier and taller,
does not show the natural strength.
This does not mean, however, that
Baker will be at a serious disadvantage
physically, as no two men are con-
structed along exactly similar lines.

DYNAMITE OUTRAGE.
Nine Persons Asleep When Ex-
pl0xiOu Occurred, and Only
FOlir Survived.

One of the most atrocious crimes
ever committed in North Louisiana
was perpetraled in Ruston Sunday
morning. May 18th, when the home
of Sam Cook, a one-armed negro,
was blown up with dynamite. Nine
negroes were asleep in the house
at the time and of these four were
killed outright, while another died
about six hours after the explosion.
The dead are: Sam Cook, his
wife, two daughters, aged IL and
IA, and a baby aged 2 years.
The explosion occurred at 3:l5
a. m. and was of such terrific force
that the house occupied by the I'M
fortunate negroes was reduced to
pile of splinters, glass was broken
in surrounding houses and every
body in the town awakened.
The body of Cook was found in
the top of a tall sweet gum tree
near the house. with the head aud
one leg blown entirely off. The
body of his wife was blown across
the telephone wires, where it hung
for some time, finally falling off,
both of the woman's legs were
blown off and the body reduced to
a bloody pulp. The other three
were not SO badly mutilated.
From the evidence at hand it
seems that two or more sticks of
dynamite were placed under the
house and directly under the bed
occupied by Cook and his wife, and
exploded by a fuse about twenty
feet long.
