in the SiX-round Bout-JOhnson
Appears not to he in Good Conditi-

Pittsburg, July Jack Johison
colored heavyweight champion of the
world, outfought Tony Ross of New
Castle. Pa, in a six-round bout at
Duquesne Gardens last night. While
no decision was given on account of
the provision of the state law, experts
agreed unanimously that Johnson had
all the better of the go.
Ross was floored more than once,
and was in evident distress at the end
of the sixth round. The fight was
fast throughout and while the cham
pion carried the fight to his opponent
all tn time Ross showed remarkable
willingness.
Johnson was apparently out of con-
dition, but found little difficulty in
landing effectively on his smaller op-
ponent. The audience shouted wildly
whenever Ross londed a telling blow,
but hooted Johnson for his rough
work in the clinches. johnson refused
to make any statement after the fight
but Ross pleaded for another chance
to meet the champion.

The more thought local officers
give to the matter the more they are
inclined to believe that the body of
the murdered man found in the box
in the Columbia river was that of
Curt Pless, the prominent business
man. who disappeared from Belling-
ham. 1t will be remembered that the
body was found in box that had
been used for shipping fruit trees.
These boxes are all alike and are uni
form in shape and size. The piece Of
rope found in the box. the imprint
man, was the kind used by ochard-
lists or nurserymen in tieing up bundles
of fruit trees.
It will also be remembered that
when Pless dropped so suddenly from
sight, in the latter part of January of
this year, he had left his home to go
to Wenatchee on a hurried business
trip. Wenatchee, as is well known, is
in the center OF one of the best known
OF the eastern Washington fruit Sec
tions. it is also on the banks of the
Columbin. river in whose waters the
body of the murdered man was found.
more than 200 miles below. That
three or four months would be re-
quired for the body to cover that dis
tance is altogether probable. 1t has
already been shown that the remains
would beep in fairly good state OF
preservation for that length of time
in the cold running water of the
Columbia.
The next step in the search for the
perpetrator of the murder will be the
search for the fruit grower who lost
one of his fruit tree boxes at about
the time that Pless disappeared. When
he is located it will also probably be
ascertained that he missed a guam
tity of lime at about the same time.
The remains of the murdered man
will also probably be disinterred in
order to more fully establish his iden-
tty as that of the missing Beling-
ham man. The teeth will be about
the only part of his anatomy that
could now be used for this purpose.
