 Mexican Herald: The feature of the benefit given at the Fronton last night for the Acapulco suffer CTS was three-round friendly ex- hibition between Kid Mitchell and Jim Smith, the two best pugilists in Mexico.

It was fine doings for three rounds, and when the timekeeper, Jockey Moriarity, called time at the end of the third, the referee said Draw" Smith had shade the best of the go, but as he had smeared so much lamp black over Mitchell, the officials couldn't tell one from t'other. It was by far the best stage exhibition ever seen in Mexico and brought down the house. 1t would make a good act for any show shop after the clever pair had rehearsed a couple of times.

in Glover Field Near Home
After Shooting Wife.
THE INQUEST is CONCLUDED
Jurors Return Verdict to Effect that
Rapids City Man Was Respon-
sible for Tragedy.

All mystery surrounding the murder
of Mrs. Clara Adams at Rapids City
was cleared up today when at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon the body of her husband
Thomas Adams. was found about so
feet south of the railway tracks, and
200 yards from the Adams home. Mr..
Adams had evidently suicided, and the
condition of the body indicates that
he took his life soon after the murder
of Mrs Adams at the home. The
body was found by party of men who
who were searching for Adams. 1t is
said that Adams had threatened to
take his own life.
Had Shot Himself.
In Mr.. Adams hand was 32-caliber
revolver, and there was a bullet hole
in his head. the shot having been fired
into his mouth. The body was not dis
turbed until the arrival of Coroner
Rose, who had just returned to Moline
after concluding the inquest over the
remains of the mans murdered wife
The body was found in a heavy clover
hay. Those who had been searching
for Adams must have passed not far
from him several times.
Held to Be Murderer.
The coroner's jury which investigated
the death of Mrs. Adams declared in
its verdict that the woman came to
her death by being shot with a 30
caliber revolver in the neck, ON the
right side, by Thomas jefferson Adams,
either the night of Sunday, June 20, or
the morning of Monday, June 21.''
But little in addition to the informa-
ton secured by The Argus yesterday

Rose postponed the inquest until this
morning, in order that a post norton
examination of the body might be
made. The course of the, bullet was
traced, and it was shown TO have been
fired from a 32-caliber revolver, appar-
emily at close range From the exter-
nal examination it could not be defin-
ltely determined whether the wound
was made by revolver or a shotgun.
Suicide Not Unexpected.
In view of the evidence that Adams
murdered his wife, and his former
threats to suicide, the finding of his
fody occasioned no great surprise il
