Tuesday for a rest" he said. '"Tomor
row morning I will patch up any flaws
there might be in my speed. 1 expect
to knock out O'Brien in the first few
rounds. 1t took me until the tail end
of ten rounds to catch him the last
time and now it is only q question of
crowding the same amount of fighting
in the six rounds. My training to this
time has been with view to accom-

fastest six round man in the ring and
most of the experts, I see, say that
there is no one who can whip him in
six rounds. I will show these experts
tomorrow night that O'Brien will be
out of the game before the six rounds
have finished"

HAS A BAD LOOK.
Incendiary Fire Is Started on Kansas
Avenue.

One of the most suspicious looking
fires occurring in this city for some
time called out companies from three
hre stations to 423 Kansas avenue last
evening, twelve minutes after 6. The
fire was burning fiercely in four differ
emit places in the building occupied by
the Gresser & Cation second hand fur
niture store when the companies ar
rived On the scene. The back door of
the basement where three fires were
burning was open. The trap doors
leading to the first floor from the base
ment were open and one blaze was
burning On the first floor.
The building is a two story stone
structure crowded in between a row of
such buildings and was bad place for
fire. The fact that the fire was
burning in four different places and the
doors were open to create a draft in
d1cateS that the fire was incendiary.
There was $4,000 insurance on the
stock.
The damage on account of smoke
and water will be greatest. The fire.
men ran three lines of hose into the
building from the front and rear and
after considerable trouble on account
OF the intense suffocating smoke thew
succeeded in quenching the b1azes. It
was mean fire to fight and was eff
