of the worst tragedies connected

OF an attempt to extort money from
Pierto Giacoua, wealthy Italian

quently bought wine from them by
the barrel and had invariably refused
to pay for it. According to their
story the three men forced them to
ship wine TO point in the state yes
terday and returned early today and
ordered them TO prepare meal.
Elder Giacona suspected trouble and
hid a repeating rifle near the table.
When one Of the visiting Italians
drew a heavy revolver and ordered
them to produce money and valuables
the Elder Giacona answered with
rifle shot. One man fell dead and
the other two attempted TO escape.
One was killed before he got ten
feet away and the other was shot on
the stairs.

New York, June 17--Tracing pres

Dressed carcasses brought from half
cent to a cent a pound more yes
terday in New York than they did
Monday, reflecting an increase since
last week of cent and a half in
Chicago and prices on live steers.
This brings the cost Of beef on tho

ing his hand for the shake. Papke ignored
the hand and sailed into the Michigan
man with the fiery impetuosity which en-
titled him to be called the Thunder
bolt.
The fight was practically over min
ute and twenty seconds after the gong
sounded. From that time on it was mere
ly a question as to how long Ketchel
would last. Papke tore into ketchel with
such fury that the hitherto undefeated
champion was simply lifted off his feet
four times within the next minute. Papke
knocked Ketchel to the mat for the count
and from his first knockdown Ketchel
never really recovered his form. He was
a defeated man. daZed. bleeding strug-
Cling from twenty blows in the face and
determination. And for at least three
rounds he held his own with the victorious
challenger.
When ketchel went from his corner for
the second round it was seen that his
right eye was closed. AT the next inter
mission his seconds lanced the eve and
sucked the blood but ketchel never re-
gained the sight of his right eye. Be-
fore the finish the other eye was all but
closed, and for the last three rounds he
staggered about the ring dizzily, like a
drunken man. practically blinded.
In the third ketchel showed his best
| form when he forced Papke through the
ropes. In the last round ketchel seemed
down and out, and the gong saved him

Another minute finished him. with Papke

the first game between Shopmen and
Twining and it would have taken much
to get any of those present to leave dur
ing this game. 1t was without doubt
the best game played in the series so far,
and interest never waned.
The Shopmen were very fortunate to
get this game. they were unauestion-
ably outclassed in the smuggling depart
ment. Just to think but two hits were
made by them, and still they won out.
1t wasn't by d big margin that they won.
but the nose out tally is enough to win
any game, so why argue about it. The
Twining boys clipped off seven safe ones,
but failed to get them in punches.
The Shopmen got but two hits. That
is not the truth. 1t wasn't the S.'opmen
but a Shopman and no other than popu-
lar Doc" Dougherty. He was the only
man on the team who could get them in
safe territory and seemed to experience
little trouble in doing He made two
scorching singles and the other times up
his drives were pretty hard to handle
Wynkoop and Geibel of Twinng also hit
well, getting two singles apiece.
Greene was on the mound for TWining
and deserved to win his game. he
pitched gilt-edge ball at all times. Its
pretty raw deal fer an artist to pitcf
nine whole innings, allow but two bingles
and then lose out. Well. that's what hap
pened to Greene yesterday, but he should
not feel at all discouraged, for that was
a remarkably good record. Rupert had
good assortment at his command. and
the, stood mp for him at all times. Seven
hits We're made off him. ii is true. but he
was the master with men on the bags
Seven men were put down by him on
strikes, while Greene retired three by this
route. The score:
