The Society for the Prevention

two of the horses killed that

returned to its owner. he horses
that were killed were disable ed-and

about $12 that will be given to
Mr.. Smith, the owner of one of

persons have gotten an erroneous
idea of the work of the Society.
1t is not the purpose of the mem

They simply wish to protect the
beasts of burden from cruel, in

anyone from working disabled

FITZ IS DOWN AND OUT.
Former Champion Knocked Out Easily
 By Jack Johnson at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA. July 17.-Jack Johnson stopped Bob Fitzsimmons in the second round of six round bout before the Washington Sporting Club. Fitzsimmons did not show trace of his former prowess, and it is prob able that Johnson could have stop ped him in the opening round if he had cared to do so. The blow that laid Fitzsimmons out was a light right to the jaw The old man fell to the floor and made 10 attempt to rise, and the referee awarded Johnson the bout. Kissing which usually follows a knockout of this character was ab- sent, the spectators evidently taking compassion on the former pugilistic star. Referee Keenan refused to act in the ring, because he had heard that Fitzsimmons had a badly sprain- ed arm. The manager of the club en- tered the ring and watched the un- even match.

DEAD BODY ROBBED
 OF WATCH AND CASH
Missionary DrOWnS In the GiIa River, and GhOuIS Rob the
 Body.

PHOENIX, July 17.-Last Tuesday the decompOsed body of Elder w. T. BOdwell, who lost his life in the Gila river, January 3l, was found buried in the sand one mile below the point where he attempted the fatal cross. ing near SClomonville.
 4 Mexican wood -hauler saw a faded sleeve protruding from the sand and digging down uncovered the body.
 Justice Bennett of the San Jose precinct in Graham county summoned a corOner's jury and an inquest was held last Saturday evening. A mum seen several such markings in the her of persons identified the clothing as that belonging to the missing mis sionary and a verdict of accidental drowning was returned.
 It developed, however, that a ghoulish crime had been committed by someone. At the time of his death Bodwell is known to have had about S75 in mone&, gold watch and numerous papers and letters on his person. Nothing whatever was found on the body which indicated that it had been robbed and probably pur pOStiy uluuSu uOuDLlG5S SOOh dLJCl the accident

GLASS LAWYERS SHY AT MORE
 EVIDENCE
Fight Hard to Exclude Testi- mony From Ten Supervisors Who Are Alleged to Have Been Bribed by Defendant,

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1.-The trial of Louis Glass for bribery, reached a crucial stage today when the prosecution made it's first attempt to begin the introduction of testi- mony of the ten or more supervisors other than Boxton. that their votes were bought by Theodore " Hal sey,, acting under the direction of Vice President Glass of the Pacific States Telephone Company. Such testimony is called "evidence of sim liar offenses" and is often admitted in criminal trials for the purpose of showing corrupt intent on the part of the defendant in the commission of the act for which he is being tried. Glass at the present time is being tried for the bribery of BOXton and the prosecution contends that it has the right to lay before, the jury the inference of guilt, the proof of his having bribed other supervisors like BOxton, against granting a rival fran chise to the Home Company.
 The defense denies this right, mainly on the ground that the state is not privileged to prove other crimes in an effort to establish the crime on trial. Argument on this point. conceded to be of even more than original importance since the defection of Second Vice President Zimmer from the ranks of the pros cautions witnesses, occupied the last two hours of the afternoon session and was in progress at adjournment. The jury was excused at the com mencement of the argument.
 Four witnesses were on the stand | for the prosecution today. Charles J. Hall, formerly chief clerk in the general offices of the telephone com pany, told of more or less frequent
 visits paid to Halsey's private office i by supervisors. w. J. Phillips, dis trict superintendent, gave testimony of no moment. Thomas E. Sherwin, | of Burlingame. who succeeded E. J. i Trimmer as auditor, and now fills that
 office, strengthened the prosecution | by testifying to the fact as alleged,
 that the method of voucher receipts
 in the general offices was departed 1 from in the disbursements of the l $50,00O or $6O,OO0 claimed to be paid
 supervisors in bribes, and that book | record of this money was carefully | avoided by order of Glass.
 The last witness of the day. Super, | visor Thomas F. LOnegan, told of wis 1 its paid by him to Halsey's office and
 of being lunched at the expense of Halsey and his assistant, Krause. His
 testimony, which was interrupted by
 arguments on the advisability of evi l dence of similar uffenses," will be | resumed tomorrow.
