IEFFRIES BLINDED IN
THE, SECOND ROUND

and the giant toppled to the floor. Only
instinct brought him TO his feet after
the time keeper had shrieked eight"
Right into the teeth OF the storm
he waded, only to be buffeted with a
bewildering mass of punches until he
rocked like ship in storm. Then,
utterly helpless, there crashed against
his jaw straight left and right
uppercut, both terrific and Jim once
more toppled to the floor, this time
half way outside the ropes.
His battered mouth spurted forth
little jets of blood, from his nose
emerged a thick crimson stream, his
right eye was closed, his left partially
so, his left cheekbone was cut and
there was a cash in his forehead. He
was a pitifui sight, but with the little
strength left In him he held himself
together and refused to be counted
out while on his back. His indomi-
table courage held him up. but he
could not regain his feet. The mob
shrieked Get up, Jim
Champion Passes
His second, from whom he was
only a few feet, tried to raise him to
his feet. The timekeeper was tolling
off the seconds. That JEFF could never
have regained his feet save from the
assistance from the second cannot be
denied. At any rate. he did gain his
feet and staggered towards johnson,
who, apparently believing the battle
was over. was heading for his cor
ner His seconds sounded a warning
when Jefrries approached and John
son returned to the fray. and after
lightly cutting the white man few
times, again showed him to the floor.
IL WAS at this point that Richard
pushed johnson to his corner and in
structed Jeffries' second, who had
jumped into the ring. to carry him
away
A few seconds after the battle Rick
ard declared that Jeffries was out
when he was knocked down the sec
ond time, and that johnson was given
the decision on fair knockout Later
In the evening he stated that he had
awarded the battle to Johnson, be-
cause Jeffries' seconds had attempted
TO assist him to arise while the bat
tie was in progress,
Some claim that the timekeeper &C
tually counted ten" after the second
knock down, but Harting maintains
that he did not.
That, however. Is neither here nor
there Jeffries was whipped and
Johnson gets credit for a knockout
whether George Harting, timekeeper
counted one or one million.

The throngs in surrounding doorways had only
passing interest in the large fair, faded woman whom
Gilmer assisted from the mail wagon. All It's eyes
were on the girl behind her-a girl young and
slight and wan, with sick paor in her apathetic
face and forIorn dropping of the lips. She had
great eyes Of a mournfu blue which seemed to give
its color to the transparent flesh about them. Sunk
en- and sad they were, and appeared to take incurl-
ousy the alien quality of the scene about her. with
its range of yellow hills, its cluster OF mud walls, its
herds OF homecoming goats.

fitted out by Gilmer for his family
No outburst of comment among the spectators fol-
lowed this undramatic meeting. Something in the
bghted beauty of Gilmer's daughter had bewldered
and awed them. Her looks had the piteousness OF
flower which frost has touched, OF bird with
broken wing of everything young and helpless, and
lovely and despoied
"Nuestra senora!" said Luis Lucero suddenly
breaking the silence, st like the passing of
soul, lost soul!
There was murmur of appreciative assent. Every
one looked admringly at Luis, who, leaning on the
fence before his fathers good dobe dwelling, still
turned his handsome face upon the porch OF the
Company's store. great respect for Luis Lucero
prevailed in town. He spoke every tongue that was
spoken in this place of many tongues and held, in
consequence of his untutored facility, position or
importance in the Office of the mine. Moreover he
was the only son of Mexican who, since his corn
field had formerly occupied the length of Aguilars
main street. had reaped some advantage from the ar
rival in town of commerce and civilization in the
form of one coery, two shops, and six saloons
Also, Luis young and straight and slender. His
eyes were as beautiful girls but boder than
girls should be. He held his head mperiousy,
though this bearing may have been due to an IN
forming spirit of dominance less than to Luiss con-
victon that he not tall he should have
been. He was not indeed, of much stature,
for all his presence; to remedy the defect he wore
boots with mincing cowboy heels which contributed
to his gait certain effect of dashing jauntiness

munity, were graced by the pale presence OF
Gilmers daughter.
"Loreny amt what you'd call way lively
cyril" said Mrs Gilmer to inquiring neighbors. And
she amt been right peart for some years back Some
of our folks lowed that Colorado arid likely give
her back her sperets But seems like it amt good
for nothing but lung trouble, and they amt sign
of that in family either side. She's just kind OF
mopy-like though, added the mother quickly; 'gyrs
are often that-a-wayl l remember when l was
young how l used to hev fits Of just naturally crying
my eyes out fer nothing on the face of the earth!
1t chanced that Luis Lucero, having overheard
number of statements similar to this, felt a growing
interest in Glmer's girl and the cloistral secluson
she kept and her causeess melancholy. There was
to him something in her depression; it indicated
a spiritual fneness inapt to burgeon in the harsh
climate of the material world. He, Luis Lucero,
had himself known moments of disgust with the
grossness of the human scene Few, indeed were
delicately enough adjusted to catch at sentiment
so suby expressive of superior parts, but he under
stood perfectly-only too we'll he understood!
Continuing to dwell much upon the subject, Luis
began to find many errands to the Companys store.
He went of his way interestedly to examine the
stock of slckers and found it necessary to discuss
frequently with Gilmer the quality of the oil sold
for mine use, as we'll other subjects not mmedi-

We Hope To
Give Some Very Interesting News
Concerning the Electric Road
In Our Next Issue.

A great many people have ask
ed us why we have not had some
thing to say about the electric
line, and our reason has been
that there has been nothing to
tell the public at this time. Ne
gotiations have been carried on
to a point, however, where the
building of the road is practical
ly assured, in fact a construction
contract has been made, and the
contractors, we understand, are
placing estimates for materials.
Some minor matters are to be
closed up yet, and after they are
wound up there is nothing to do
except to build the road. In the
meantime, good people, please be
patient. You certainly have not
as much at stake as the fellows
who are trying to build the road.

Charlie Nichols and Hilda Nc
Aboy Run Away and Get
Married-ParentS Of
Girl Heartbroken.

Last Saturday evening saw the
elimination of an elopement that
had been tried twice before. Miss
Hilda McAboy, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. T. T. McAboy, ran
away and was joined at Galena
by Charlie Nichols, who presum-
ably came from Independence to
that point.
This was not the first time the
couple had tried to run away, one
other time being the 9Th day of
November, when they got as far
as Carthage, but were detained
by the chief of police. Miss Nc
Aboy came home with her par
ents at that time, and they hoped
she had about gotten over her
mad infatuation for Nichols.
The couple was married at Ga
lena Saturday evening by Rev.
W. H. South.
Mr.. and Mrs. McAboy are
heartbroken over the affair. They
had planned a fine education for
the girl, and she would have
graduated at the High School
this year. After that it was
their intenHon to sent her away,
to school to finish her education.
AS it is, all their planning has
