The COIored Fighter Lost the Championship
 In the Seventeenth
With the Belt In His Keep ng and all the Money He Wants the Victor Doesn't Care Whether He Ever Sees Boxing Glove Again.

Cans used all his skill and general ship to stall off the Danes rushes but failed to stop him. In the twelfth round Cans went to the floor for a count of nine on three occasions. Nel- son punished him severely about the body and face and the blows eventual ly brought the champion to grief. In the fourteenth round Cans showed a flash of class. Although apparently hopelessly beaten at this stage of the contest, he rocked the Dane time and again with his famous short arm wal lops. But they had not the slightest effect. When Cans went to his cor ner he seemed to realize that he was beaten and so informed his seconds.
 Nelson when seen in his dressing room after the fight presented a bat tered up appearance but he was ap- parently as strong as when the fight commenced. He said: T knew I could lick him. took all the bets I could get and cleaned up a big sum. I won the lightweight champion ship and have all the money I want don't care if I never see a boxing glove again"
 Referee Jack Welsh had this to say after the fight: Nelson won clear cut victory. I do not, however. think the Cans of today was the Joe Cans of old. He seemed to have lost some of his cleverness and to my eve his blows did not seem to have the same vim behind them. Nelson is too strong and it is a case of youth having its fling"

City Was Full of Visitors Who Enjoyed the
 Celebration
Music, OratOry, Parades, Athletic Sports and FyrO technic Dispays--SeveraI Persons Were Severely Injured by Patriotic Powder but None Fatally.

The Fourth of July with its happi- ness and horrors has come and gone. Marshal Moore desires the last part of that statement emphasized for the benefit of the enthusiastic small boy. The town has been on a tension for some time over the frequency of fires and yesterday there was a gen eral nervousness though happily nothing serious happened. The mar shal though serves notice that the privileges of the Fourth will not be extended over during the rest of the summer and fireworks are now out of date.
 The celebration in Phoenix was larger and more comprehensive than any demonstration for many years past. There was no single feature of such spectacular greatness as to overawe the citizen but there was general festivity from one end of the settlement to the other. The public events were well distributed. so there was no sectional animosity in any part of town. The morning parade was all through the business portion from the court house, the racing contests were on First avenue. the oratory was at the city hall and the fireworks in the evening were in front of the court house, many thousands of people turning out to witness them. The refreshment par lOrs all over town arranged special attractions and at Eastlake park there was a celebration all day and nearly all night for those who want ed to get out in the edge of the set tlement where there was a little more air and a better chance to yell
 A feature of the day was the eX- cellent order that was maintained, considering the large crowd in the city and the unusual circumstance of all being on pleasure bent, which of ten results in cross purposes and trouble. The police gathered in a few drunks. and there were several little sociable fights but none were of material consequence
 The weather was fine. It was hot all right but the thermometer be- haved itself very nicely for midsum- mer. especially when one recalls the record breaking temperature of the last 4th of July.
 The Injuries.
 The nation has to pay the price always. for its Fourth of July cele- bration. and Phoenix must naturally expect to furnish her quota of the distressing events. Frank Woods, a horse shoer. who has lived in Phoe- nix from childhood and who is q most popular young man. suffered the most severe injury reported thus far in this vicinity. He bought a quantity of fireworks at the McNeil store and started up Washington

that instance was a blacksmith and his hand was badly hurt by a giant cracker.
 Late last evening it was learned that Harold, the son of Mir. and Mrs. |C. H. Davidson, had been severely burned some time during the after noon or evening at their home by the unexpected and accidental explo- sion of some caps, for a toy pistol, cane or some other juvenile weapon. Harold had the caps in his pocket and reaching in after them, they were in some way ignited. His hand was badly burned to the wrist and his leg was pretty badly burned It was said the result would have been more serious only that his father was nearby and immediately threw the boy in the bath IuD and turned the water on.
 The Parade.
 The parade in Che forenoon was the first stated event of the day. starting from the court house and passing through the business section. with Marshal Moore as marshal of the day. Companies A and B. N. G. A, in light marching order were fol- lowed by the Pioneer band, the fire department in the following order: the new chemical. hook and ladder truck. hose wagon. steamer and an old truck of the first department equipment, bought in 1878 and so in scribed., Next came the Indian band. three young ladies on decorated ponies, several decorated bicycles. citizens in carriages, etc. The auto mobile section did not appear Prizes had been offered for the decorated ponies and wheels. The three young ladies were all so nicely mounted each was awarded a prize as fol- lows: Louise Beecher on Chiquita. first; Lucille Nelson on Dolly, sec ond; Thelma Walkei on Mona, third. The prize for the best decorated wheel was given Joseph Horne
 Afternoon Sports.
 The afternoon sports furnished occurring mostly on First avenue be tween Washington and Monroe streets. They were under the direc- tion of L T. Hosey, who was capably and enthusiastically assisted by B. E. MarkS, A. w. Galpln, F. A. Jones, Phil Ensign and several others who willingly volunteered to help, for be it known that at this time of the year there are not many people who are prompted to get out and work and sweat and rag-chew and ges- ticulate and hold watches and run errands and do all sorts Of things that are necessary to be done in looking after the details of a big eel ebratiOn in a big crowd on hot day.
 The afternoon program got good start, however, the game opening about :45 with a fifty-yard foot race for boys, Roy Mcdowell winning the first and Joe ROsas the second prize
 The girls foot race. fifty yards. was won by Addie Hayois, with Jo- sic Kerr second

Mandamus by Appellate Division Against

a mandamus was ordered issued by the Appellate
Division yesterday against Edward 5. Murphy,
Superintendent Of Buildings directing him to re-
view his action in refusing permit to erect an
advertising sign on the roof of the building No
q East 22d street, owned by Ruth Bailey. The sky
sign be ~ feet long and % feet high. and
was objected to by the Buildings Superintendent
being unlawful"
It said by the applicant who purposed to
erect sign that the section Of the building code
which provides that sky signs shall at any
point over above the front wall cornice
OF the building unconstitutional and void. JUS
tice Scott writing the opinion, says OF the sec

and absolutely forbds the erection Of any sky

trary, because man say that height alone
