The True Story.

In the last Copper Era appeared an
 article by c. B. Stocking about the
 death of John Knox, and as I saw
 him killed, thought I would tell you the straight story. The wagon with , John Knox and wife, also a Mexican family, were coming from Silver City,
 N. M., to Clifton when they passed
 the York ranch. My uncle went to
 them and told them the Indians were headed that way and they had better
 stop at the ranch, but they said they
 would go on to Greaser fiat where
 there was a Mexican settlement.
 When a short distance from the ranch we saw the Indians attack them. The driver whirled his team and started back to the house. One
 of the horses was shot and fell, so the women and children got out and started on a run for the house. But the horse got up again and they climbed back into the wagon, reach ing the house in safety. But MT. Knox ran for the hills, away from the wagon, and was killed. We could see him from the house with field glasses and it took the Indians two hours to pass our house one after an other on trail (where the A. x N. NJ. R. R. is now), the warriors in front clearing the way by trying to kill everything they saw: riding through the cattle just turned out of the corrall and killing them in punches, taking few pounds of beef from some of them. After the h. dians had all passed, my uncle went out where MT. Knox was. Finding him dead he came back after d wagon. and brought his body to the ranch, where he was buried the next morn- ing. A posse came put from Clifton that night expecting to find the ranch burned and our dead bodies. or the women and children carried away. I can never forget how the tears rolled down the cheeks of those men when they found us all safe. This was one of the many awful fights we experienced from 1881 to 1885. LULA YORKE TERRELL.

I. B. ENGLISH, Proprietor.
Pearson to Get Greene Holdings.

The statement last week concern ing the operations of the Pearsons in railroad work in the Sierra Madre country has been practically con- 1 tirmed by reports which have come from Mexico concerning the sudden departure from the City of Mexico of F. A. Nussle, civil engineer who has been summoned to join A. V. Nes- bitt in the northern part of the re- public. MT. Nesbitt is the rersonal epresentative of Dr. F. s. Pearson who is the associate and representa- tive of Sir Weetman Pearson of Lon don.
 That the Pearsons are about ready to begin operations for the construc- tion of railroad in the Sierra Madre country is conceded by all those who are familiar with their recent in- Vestigations of the district. Those who have been watching the matter from the City of Mexico and who are familiar with the situation in which Colonel William Greene finds himself concerning his holdings in the rich region which he started to develop, are of the opinion that Greene and the PearSOns have cone to an under standing by which the Pearsous will take up the Sierra Madre and Pacific road as well as the Chihuahua and Pacific upon which they have for some time held an option.
 The reports of the railroad activity which have been rite for the past two weeks point to the fact that these two roads will be made one and that other lines will be built which will tap all the rich district of the Sierra Madre.
 As the Pearsons have been in the district in question for the past three months it is taken for granted that the development rights still held by Greene are so rich that their value fully covers the liability of the prop critics now in process of liquidation. It is believed that Greene must liqui- date before the first of next month and that the deal of the Pearsons is the result of that need.
 The Pearson party has been ex- pected to arrive in this city any day but the last reported of it was that it had stopped at Chihuahua.

JoHNsoN-o'BR1EN FIGHT.
Both Men Fit and the House Already
Sold Out

PHILADELPHIA. May 1S.-Interest in
creases as the time approaches for the
six-round fight at the National Athletic
Club in this city between Jack Johnson and
Jack O'Brien. Both men ended their hard
training today and will indulge in nothing
more than light exercise tomorrow. They
will enter the ring about 1890 o'clock to-
morrow night OF the two fighters O'Brien
has been doing the more conscientious
work. He has been in training at King
of Prussia, Pa, near this city. for nearly
a month. and he claims to be in better
physical condition than at any other time
in his life. He says there is more power
behind his punches and that his eye for
distance is as accurate as ever.
Except when he has been entertained by
members of his race in this city johnson
has been making his final preparations for
the fight at George Coles training quar-
ters at Merchantville, N. j. The world s
champion also claims to be in first-class
fiesh, but in his workout this does not
seem to have caused him any inconven-
ience
There has been very little betting in
this city on the fight and 1t is not ex-
pected that any great amount OF money
will change hands. This is probably due
more than anything else to the fact that
the local laws forbid decisions being given
in boxing bouts. The Pennsylvania law
prohibits prize fights. but permits boxing
bouts limited to six rounds.
The house has been practically sold out
for the fight. The club management
claims that the receipts will be $4,000.
the largest ever taken in in this country
for a six-round fight. johnson has a
guarantee of 5000. while O'Brien will re-
ceive 80 per cent OF the gross receipts.
II the receipts reach the amount predict
ed by the management O'Brien's share
will be larger than Johnsons.

piece of economy If they would use one
Of the formers shells. But the Potomacs
answered that their desire was to use
their own craft. as they were going to
New York on Decoration day. Nothing
more was heard of the matter until the
coming of the letter calling off the race.
The members Of the Potomac crew were
somewhat skeptical that the poor show
ing they made at Annapolis. Nd. against
Navy may have had something to do with
the canceling of the race, but the letter
from President Perrin was written at
New Haven Friday. May IA, before the
race of Saturday was pulled of. so it is
evident that 1t was not q factor.
In order to stop gossip and place the
Potomac Boat Club in a proper light, as
many skeptics say the project was all

hind 1t. the letter from Yale is herewith
published in full so that all may under
stand the position Of the Potomacs:

DAHILL WILL LEAD.
Hartford Lad Gets Captaincy Of
GEORGETOWN Prep Track Team.

Hartford Lad Gets Captaincy of
Georgetown Prep Track Team.
Edward Dahill of the prep class of 1910
was yesterday chosen to lead the Blue
and Gray prep track team during the
coming season, at q meeting Of the George
town prep men of last winters squad.
The selection was an unanimous one and
is sure to be approved by the executive
committee of the Athletic Association.
since the newly elected leader is we'll
known to all Of his many friends as
worthy and capable Of holding the Office.
Dahill comes from Hartford. Conn.
where he played foot ball on the high
school team during the fall of 1907 He
Is protege Of Tom Smith, the crack
hurdler, who also halls from Hartford.
Upon entering the local institution last
fall Dahill signified his intention of
trying for the eleven, and SO we'll did he
show up In practice that he became q
permanent fixture In the lineup. While
performing on the gridiron he became
noted for his QuickneSs and 1t was not
long before he was given the nickname

Coach Smith. after seeing his ability In
the running line, wasted no time getting
him out for the track team, on which
he also made good, becoming before the
end of the season an able sprinter and
relay man. His strong point has always
been his grit. and on more than one oc-
casion he has pulled himself out Of bad
holes by sticking to 1t to the end.
He is very enthusiastic over the chances
for getting out a championship relay
four next winter and is already laying his
plans for the years campaign. He will
have himself and Heiskell of this win
ter's team as q nucleus for his new ag-
gregation, and as there are also a bunch
of subs, who will be eligible, 1t certainly
looks as though the new captains ambi-
tions will be fulfilled.

DOESN'T WANT MUCH.
King Asks $4,000 and Release at
Years End.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. May 1s.-Will
President Charles w. Murphy Of the Chi
cago Cubs be willing to give Johnny
Killing, his peerless backstop. an increase
in salary equaling twice the salary OF
United States senator and at the same
time enter into an agreement whereby
king is to be Internationally released at
the end Of the present season?
This is what King is wondering and the
above is the ultimatum sent to Manager
Chance a couple OF days ago. As the
days 20 by no one watches what the Cubs
are doing more closely than the recaIci-
trant Each defeat for the worlds cham
pions makes 1t more probable that In the
end Kings demands will be met.
A telegram from Manager Chance Wnle
the team was at Pittsburg brought about
the change Of heart. 1t was long. ex-
tremely long message, urging King TO
fulfill the terms of his contract Many rea-
sons were given why John should join the
team. It told King that II 1t was q
question of money to say so, and the mat
ter would be taken under Amusement.
That was the word King has been walt
ing for and few hours later messase
was dispatched to Chance naming the
terms. The amount was large, bringing the
salary approximately to the $4,000 mark
and with the proviso that an uncondition-
al release must be forthcoming at the end
of the present season when hing's con-
tract expires.
Even at that Killing doesn't want to join
the Cubs. A certain magnate mace
proposition to Killing months ago, onering
inducements which Killing thinks would
put him In q position to become wealthy
in a few years. 1t calls for Kings serv-
ices during the ball season and at the
same time gives him an opportunity to go
into business in city much larger than
his home town and where the competi-
tition isn't so brisk.
It's no secret in Kansas City that
Kings billiard parlor, the new one which
cost $50, 900, isn't bowling success finan-
cially.
But to return to Killing and the posi-
bility of his returning to Chicago. Like
all players who have achieved fame.
Killing feels the playing fever more acute
ly each day. Before the opening of the
season he was emphatic in saying that
nothing could induce him to rejoin the
Cubs A few weeks later came the state
ment that he would re-enter the game
should Murphy trade him to any other
National League team. This brought
more results. Now things have
changed again. John is willing and anx-
ious to 60. While he hasn't yet packed
his trunk, King Is ready to start on a
moments notice. He wired Chance to
that effect OF course, Chance had to
put the matter up to President Murphy.

would hardly be fair to call the ten-round

Nelson fought Corbett at long range

the spectators could plainly see that he

of the fight.
The Dane seemed to fear the ex-cham-
pion's punches and Corbett did most of
the forcing. Nelson showed more clever

out of the way Of many vicious left
swings. The fighting was fast from the

In the sixth. toward the end Of the

johnson and O'Brien to Meet for Siz
Rounds Tomorrow Night.


NEW YORK, May Heterogeneous
have been made to run four special trains
from this city over the Pennsylvania
railroad to Philadelphia tomorrow
night. when Jack Johnson. the heavy
weight champion, will box six rounds
with Jack O'Brien at the National A. c..
No heavyweight contest since the john
son-Burns mill In Australia last Decem-
Der has caused SO much interest In the
sporting world. It will be Johnson's first
appearance in the ring since he won the
worlds title from Tommy Burns In four
teen rounds and, therefore. ring follow
ers are anxious to see the big black man
in action. The fact that Johnson lodged
Sam Langford and Kaufman. then made
a match with Stanley Ketchell, to be de-
cided next October, after which he re-
ceived word from Jeffries that the latter
would fight him next year. has made him
the most talked about pugilist before the
public today. Yet there is much doubt
as to his right to be called a first-class
heavyweight pugilist, and OBrien, re-
garded as the most scientific white boxer
in the world. is, among the doubling ones.
Six rounds don't provide much OF test.
it Is true; but as O'Brien is a whirlwind
and johnson is believed to possess re-
markable science, this bout bids fair to
be q clinker II 1t is on the level.
