was very cool and appeared to gain
strength as the fight progressed.
Then Britt shot a fearful left to the
stomach and followed it with light
left to the jaw. Nelson, however,
forced the fighting. He was reward
ed with a right swing flush to the
jaw. Nelson again almost slipped to
his launches, but was quickly in
fighting position. Britt landed two
right swings to the jaw and then a
left hook found refuge on the same
spot. Nelson vainly sought to land
on his antagonist, but could not To-

the crowd in unison as the gong

Round 14.-Acting under Nolan's
instructions, Nelson, with a deter
mined expression, forced Britt about
the ring. AS usual, his efforts to To-
cate Britt were fruitless, and Britt
landed several left swings to the
Danes head. They closed In and
Britt peppered his man with right
and left jolts to the face. Britt
drove Nelson's head back foot with
terrific straight right Britt then
shot his left and right to the face

Britt the elbow and floored him. The
crowd yelled its disapproval. The

Nelson landing hard right to
Britt's body as the gong rang. 1t was

Round 15.-Nelson followed Britt
around the ring and received a hard
left clout to the face. Britt then
drove two wicked lefts to Nelson S

around. He followed this with an
other left to the face and they fought
to close quarters, Referee Welsh
prying them apart. Britt backed
about the ring, landing his left to the
Danes jaw with telling effect and
regularity. He continued this to the
close of the round, which found the
men in clinch. The crowd was
again on its feet yelling for Britt.
Up to this time Britt had a clear
lead over the Dane.

ANOTHER PRISONER
ESCAPES FROM JAIL
MARTIN JOHNSON, CHARGED
WITH MAYHEM, CRAWLS OUT
AND DEPARTS.

Its about time that something
was done in regard to the local
JAIL" remarked a citizen, yesterday
He was asked what he had refer
ence to and he replied, Ito the in
adequate quarters for prisoners and
the lax methods in which the place
is kept. The subject came up
through the escape yesterday morn
ing of Martin johnson, the man who
had been held to answer to a charge
of mayhem, having chewed another
persons ear off.
Johnson was locked in the tank
last night" said Constable Gilbert
to a News representative. He
must have got out some time after
O'Clock in the morning."
How did he get out?" was asked
1T was easy enough to get out
after he escaped from the tank,
said the officer 1.-THE hole cut In
the jail by the two who escaped
| some time ago is still there, as is
| the one made by Burns recently
when he escaped. The commission
ers have not ordered the jail fixet
and it is an easy matter for a pris
oner to escape when once he gets ou
of the tank"
| There are two versions as to how
! johnson got out of the steel tank
One is that one of the officers acci
IDENTIFY left the door open and an
other is that the prisoner had beer
furnished with a key. There are
three keys but it is possible tina
someone made wax cast of the loci
and then had key made.
Anyway, four prisoners have es
capped during the past few months
Eyes, and | don't blame them fol
escaping" remarked the citizen who
had been listening to the converse
ton concerning the Jail. From
what | hear it is a disgrace to the
city. Something certainly ought tt
be done. You can't keep a man il
one of those tanks for months. Sucl
would be persecution and it is doubt
full whether a prisoner could liv,
any length of time under such con
ditions. | also understand the SAM
tary conditions are very bad"

rating, Britt landed right and left
to thejaw and easily avoided the
Danes attempts at retaliation. They
clinched and Welsh separated them.
go in" came the injunction from
Nelson's corner. The Dane obeyed,
but was met with a left to the face.
Nelson drove his right to Britt's
stomach and Britt staggered Nelson
with left swing, followed with
terrific right to the same place. Then
Britt sent the blood squirting in
stream from Nelson's mouth with
fearful left smash to that member.
The gong rang and for the first time
the Dane showed signs of weakening.
Round 1S.-Britt crossed left to
the ear and then shot his right to the
nose. A left hook to the mouth
again started Nelson bleeding. Britt
sent straight left to the face and
then swung his right to the jaw. Nell
son forced his man about, only to re-
ceive telling left uppercut to the
mouth. A straight left to the mouth
was followed by two right swings to
the same place and the Dane was
forced to cover up and stall. Britt
staggered his man with a right to the
head and then sent in left hook to
the body Britt continued to pepper
his man in the face, retreating with
out blow from his antagonist, find
ing Judgement. Britt swung right
and left to the jaw and staggered
Nelson as the bell tolled. 1t was all
Britt's. Nelson's right eye was near
ly closed at the end of the round.
Round 19.-Britt sent Nelson's
head back with a straight left to the
mouth. The crowd Kissed Nelson for
what they believed was butting. Mel
son forced Britt around, but Britt
stopped him with well directed left
and right swings to the jaw. FL
nally at close quarters, Britt landed
a right that looked wicked enough
to put Nelson out, but Nelson never
faltered. Nelson sent in straight
left to the face, but Britt forced him
to cover up with right and left
swings to the sore face. Britt
fought very cautiously, never ending
his attempts to meet the Dane in
close quarters 1t was all Britt's
again.
Round 20.-They shook hands and
fought hard at close quarters. Mel
son drove wicked right smash to
the jaw. Nelson appealed to the Re-
fierce about Britt's holding on and
then they mixed it furiously, Britt
having the better of a mid-ring rally. |
Britt drove Nelson to the ropes with
several hard swings. Nelson tottered
about the ring helplessly. Britt went
at his man like maniac and almost
sent Nelson through the ropes with
right flush to the jaw. The gong
rang at this stage and saved Nelson
from a certain knockout. Nelson
went over to his corner vomiting and
Britt was given the decision at the
end of the round.
