ELEVATOR; DEAD
Antonio Russo, Hurled from
Third Story in Okin Building,
Had Been Warned.

Disregarding repeated warnings to
keep away from the elevator in the
Okin building, 229 Washington street,
Antonio Russo, 35 years old, of 155
Tichenor street, was dashed to death
when he slipped beneath the lift when
it was at the third floor. He died as
the ambulance was taking him to ST
Barnabas's Hospital last night,
Russo had a news and bootblack
stand on the third floor. August
Knaspe, of LOG Hunterdon street, night
porter, had taken the elevator to the
third floor about o'clock last night.
Russo. it is said, turned the power
lever. causing the elevator to lower a
trifle. When Knaspe called to him
to stop Russo started the elevator on
its upward journey, with one foot on
the elevator. the other on the floor.
What happened next is not quite
clear, but several persons heard a
piercing shrek and a crash on the
basement floor, forty feet below.
Captain Martin. of the Salvage Corps,
who was in the barber-silop on the first
floor, called Fred Baldwin, also of the
Salvage Corps, and they carried Russo
to the first floor to await the arrival
of the ambulance, in charge of Plain
clothesmen Smith and King.
Charles H. Williams, the head janitor
of the building, said today that the
elevator seemed to have a peculiar
fascination for Russo and that he was
always foolng with it,

RENO, New, July 1.-The stage set
ting is now complete Every character
in the cast of the Jeffries-Johnson ex-
travaganza is in his dressing room
awaiting his cue from the call boy.
The stage electrician has his hand on
the button ready to raise the curtain
over the greatest pugilistic show that

nary rehearsals give promise that it
will be "a most successful production.

rapid succession that the natives We're

MENTAL ATTITUDE COUNTS

day and have watched keenly for
changes. There have been no changes.
No two more dissimilar men ever
stepped into a ring. Jeffries and john

doing at all. In fact, the faro banks
and roulette wheels have held but
slight charm for any of the Johnson
party.
During the early morning the train

levity For the first time since the
party's arrival at the resort there was
a general discussion of the Jeffries
faction, but it was mostly in fun. Cot
ton told of his breaking in under the
instructions of Joe Choynski and from
that the Jeffries camp was carefully
gone over Amid much laughter 1t was
decided that the Johnson aggregation
was far superior and it was suggested
that a visit be paid to Moana for the
purpose of cleaning the whole bunch
from Jeffries down. 1t was decided

is as usual all sorts of amusement.
The only difference noted is the fact
that the smoke is keeping more closely
to his room and is not mixing ii so
roughly in the horseplay of the camp.
He is ever in the best of humor. He
is surrounded by admirers practically

All All can say is dat Johnson had bet

Hugh Mcintosh and Tommy Burns
were also visitors at the Jeffries domi-
cile this morning.
Although Mcintosh was surprised to
see the big bear in such wonderful
shape, he still maintains that johnson
is the better man of the two He said:

he started his roadwork.
Every now and then one Of the na-
tives Of Nevada would ask in an anN-
ious whisper. "Is that Bat Nelson?"
Which one is Tim Sullivan Don't
tell me that's Peter Jackson
When Peter jackson put in an ap-
pearance there was quite an ovation,
and for an hour or more the genial
negro was the center OF a pressing
interested crowd.
When young Peter began talking
about the big battle there was a hush
and every one strained to catch his
words Of wisdom. The revered pugilist
kept the talk general at first. but
finally when asked to give his opinion
definitely he said:

cleverest fighter that ever donned the
gloves / fully expect to see him beat

him up some.
The scrap is going TO be a long one.
2y or 80 rounds, I should say, and you
can take ii from me that it's going to
be the best Of them ALL"
The wise negro discussed the differ
ent stages Of the two fighters history
and told a great many amusing anec-
dotes Of the ones that are and of the
ones that have been in the land of
padded gloves. He then spoke at
length Of the probable tactics that will

Shortly after o'clock the champion
came down stairs and started with his
trainers for the road. He was gone
for so long a time that the anxiously
waiting crowd thought there had been
some accident. A cloud of dust on the
Lawton Springs road, however. put
every one at ease, and in a few sec
onds the training squad came into
view. over the last 800 yards or so
the champion made a sprint. When he
drew up at the inn he hastily rinsed
his mouth with a glass Of ice water
