ANOTHER VICTIM IS DEAD
And Another Expected to Dice. w.
Scott Succumbed to Injuries Re-
ceived at Springfield.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 1S.-One more
vi6tim was added to the death list of
the Springfield mob last night when
CIV. Scott succumbed to a gunshot
wound in the lungs received Friday
night. SCOTS death brings the total
to sig, and is the fourth chargeable to
the disorders in the ''black belt" near
Twelfth and Madison streets. 1t was
here that the hunted negroes made
their stand, firing upon the heads of
the mob from windows and roofs.
Another death is expected momen-
tarily. w. H. Rowe, chief clerk in
the county treasurer's office, and one
of the most popular citizens in Spring
field Is slowly sinking from the effect
of the bullet wounds and the beating
he received from the crowd of negroes
Friday night. Rowe's friends have
warned the authorities that BILLY"
will be avenged and in the event of
his death it will cause a redoubling of
vigilance by the troop commanders.
Wait until the troops CO." is the
word that has been passed around
town, and recognizing the strength of
the undercurrent, the state, city and
county officials are taxing every effort
to turn public opinion toward law and
order. To that end Governor Deneen
has been in conference with officials
of various civic bodies, including the
Chamber of Commerce, the Spring
field Bar Association and the Evangeli-
cal Ministers Association. Evidence
is not lacking that many citizens who
were known to have important testi-
mony regarding the mob and its lead
ers have been deferred from offering
this to the states attorney because of
threats of violence against them
anonymously.

Stanley ketcheI and Joe Thomas.
Special to the Herald.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 49,
Fight followers are anticipating a
rafting bout tonight when Stanley
Ketchel and Joe Thomas come togeth-
er at the Occidental Club for con-
test of 20 rounds. Both are reported
to be in excellent shape for the go.
The men are to meet at catchweights,
which is help to Thomas, and it is
the general opinion that he will make
a better showing against Ketchel than
did Hugo Kelly.

CANS BRINGS THE

PHILADELPHIA, April 2.--Before

was a trife fat around the stomach.
bnt not enough to do any harm.
The first was merely q feeler for
both men, but Cans soon had his man
measured and knockout was ex-
pected any second.
Joe held Robson of with his long
left and worked his right to the jaw.
He held Robson on the ropes and
hooked his left hard TO Robson's
mouth.
Cans opened the third by dancing
around and sending in his LETT twice
on Robson's head. He caught him
OF his balance and sent HIS right hard
to the head. Robson was on the ropes
force on the point. The Briton drop
ped to his knees and fell over on the
mat. The referee counted seven over
him and II was an effort for him to
stand up. He went TO his knees again
and was up In an Instant, but he was
dazed and his guard was down and
open for knockout. Cans hooked
his left over on the Jaw and then shot
his right out when Robson straight
ened up. The blow landed clean on
the Briton's Jaw and he went down in
a heap.

BOOST IN PAY WORTH MORE
THAN BONUS, SAY THE TIGERS

REER. The $1,000 he would have con-
sidered ample recompense for the
worlds series, especially In view Of
Its outcome, and the same is prob
able true OF each OF the other men
with whom contract negotiations
seemed uhduly prolonged.
Even I'm the case OF Tyrus Cobb. II
is probable that the transposition OF
this s700 or $500 would have had a
marked effect.
Counting $500 as the figure at
which the club expected Tyrus 20
come through with his John Han
cock, $500 more would have raised
that to $500, which Is surely war
time wage, as Sam Crawford left
Cincinnati for Detroit back In the
times when the erasshopper act
was In vogue for approximately
that figure, and Wild Bill Dono-
van came from Brooklyn with
promise Of only 5000 more.

there will be a number OF 1907 worlds

Gated when the champs OF the two
leagues hook up again and the adj
