capable instructors of the state. Prof.
Morgan was invited to conduct the
school himself.

Tuesday evening stood in the yards all
night, pulling out just before seven

to all appearances enjoyed themselves.
The wreck was caused by the de-
railment of two freight cars, one of
them an empty and the other loaded
with cotton seed bulls. The loaded
car jumped from the track, rolled
down the embankment, and rested bot
tom side up on the level ground below.
The other car left the track but Jared
little better than the loaded one.
The track was torn up for some dis

for the restoration of traffic The

declares Jeff was knocked out, that
1t should appear so in the records
and that Jack johnson should get the
credit for decisive victory.
JeFries' friends, however. insist that
Jeffries was not literally knocked out
but that the action of his seconds in
entertaing the ring lost him the fight
on a foul. They point out that in
the Corbett- Sharkey bout Con Mcyey
entered the ring in the ninth round
and Corbett lost on foul. The same
scoring was made in the George Dix
Dave Sullivan bout, because one of
Suiiivan's seconds entered the roped
arena.
But despite the claims Of Jeffries
friends, the majority of men who saw
the fight say II was simply q case of

coming through the ropes in the hope
they could make it appear on the re-
cords as lost on foul. All bets made
on knock OUT were paid under
