MEN AND HORSES BURN.
Terrible Livery Stable Fire at Duluth
Costs Five Lives.

Duluth, Mimi, June 19.-Five
men and sixty-eight horses were
burned to death late this afternoon
in fire which partly destroyed the
Board of Trade Livery Stable.
The building was damaged to the
extent OF $4,000. 1t was owned by
Barrett & Zimmerman, horse deal
ers, Of st. Paul, who, with Capt.
ID. E. Stephens, conducted the liv-
cry business and owned most of the
horses, although a large number of
the animals were being boarded at
the stables.
The fact that the hostlers had
lost their lives was not known until
after the fire had been subdued,
when firemen in looking through the
ruins discovered their charred re
mains near the rear entrance through
which they tried to escape The
building was also used to store au-
tomobiles, and three OF these went
up i'm smoke.
Various theories are advanced as
to the cause of the fire, the most
plausible being that there was an ex-
plosion of gasoline, quantity of
which was stored on the premises.

HEAVY
But VERY FAST
Bout With Berger Dispels
Doubts as to His Ability
to Get Back.

PITTSBURG, Pa, June 16.-James J.
Jeffries, retired heavyweight champion
CT the world, received a great ovation
at Duauesne Garden here last night,
where he engaged in a six-round box
ing exhibition with his sparring part
ner. Sam Berger.
Jeffries appeared to have lost a great
deal of weight, but was still heavy.
He was extremely fast on his feet and
very quick with his hands.
Jeffries in a short speech before the bout
said:
II can't say any more than the papers
have said, bnt when the right time comes
[ will deliver the goods"
The rounds were short, averaging fifty
seconds each. Jeffries did the leading and
delivered practically all the blows, Berger
taking the punishment.
Though the rounds were rather short
there was not a quiet second In one OF
them. Jeffries seemed like lightning on
his feet, and with his hands he kept Berger
dancing all the time. On several occasions
he landed a trlfe harder on the sparr1ng
partner than he had intended and there
was some side talk OF a hot nature. n
the third round jeff caught Berger a stiff
left punch in the ribs, and as Berger
danced away he was heard to say: Il told
yon not to do that. Now be careful
Keep out of the way then" said Jer,
as he reached Berger's chin with a light
tap. On another occasion Berger kept
hanging on &c. JEFF until Referee Dime
gave Berger a shove which sent him
spinning clear across the ring against the
ropes. while Dime was brushed to one
side.

ALEX SMITH Wins
BY SINGLE STROKE
Mackie, the Loser, Made New
Record for Course
in Go.

FOX HILLS GOLF CLUB, S. J., June
1.-THE closest professional golf match
seen in this country for years ended
just before dark last evening at the
Fox Hills links. at Clifton, Staten
Island. when Alex Smith, the national
champion, won from Isaac Mackie, for
lner Eastern title holder, by a single
stroke at medal play over 36 holes. BY
match play, too, Smith led by one hole.
Maclie, defeated as he was at home,
established a new professional record for
the course Of Sc, lowering his own uArt of

the afternoon. but as he did not hole out
a couple of short puts, the new mark can
stand only In his rivals name. The out
come was SO close that the relative merits
OF the two players are as much In doubt
as ever, and another match is not unlikely.
The. purse was $500. Conditions of
weather, wind and turf were nearly ideal,
except that the heavy grass made the
green's duh. In the morning Smith was l
