BODIES RECOVERED FROM
TURBULENT GRAND RIVER

Muskogee, Okla. July 6.-The bodies
Of Frederic Knowlton, assistant cash
Ter Of the Muskogee National bank,
and Miss Katherine Jarrett, a young
society woman, who were drowned in
the Grand river near Fort Gibson
Monday, were recovered. Knowlton's
body came to the surface after the
stream had been dynamited Monday
night and the womans body was
found yesterday afternoon and brought
to Muskogee.
The spot where the drowning oc-
CURED for many years has been known
as one Of the dangerous places Of that
stream. Years ago when soldiers were
stationed at Fort Gibson many OF
them were drowned there when trying
to cross. They would ride into the
stream and be sucked under and
would not reappear In earlier days
the Indians had dread of the place
because so many had been drowned
there. There was an old legend to the
effect that there was great monster
that inhabited the swirling pool and
that when the undercurrents sucked
the victims under they were grabbed
by this monster.

BROKEN IN SPIRIT
JEFFR|ES LEAVES
No Word of Taunt or DerIslon Heard
From Crowd That cazed Upon
The Fallen Champion.

Reno, New, July 6.--James ]. JEFF
fries, whose great ring career came
to pitiful end when he fell before
Champion Jack Johnson here Mon
day, left the scene of his defeat at
1880 o'clock last night. He is headed
toward his alfalfa ranch in southern
California and there in the quiet Of
his fields, surrounded by the hills he
loves, he will try to forget. In the
meantime he will spend few days in
San Francisco Strengthening out his
business affairs.
The Jeffries car was hitched to the
Irregular evening train. He motored
into the city from his camp at Monana
Springs with Sam Berger and other
members Of his party an hour before
train time and hid himself as soon as
possible from the curious gaze Of the
crowd that still thronged the streets
of the worlds fight capital.
In his every stumbling movement.
In his bowed head In the depths Of
his sombre eyes, in his nervous rub
bing Of his swollen face and black
ened eye, In his almost timid shrink.
ling from the public, the great Jeffries
showed his defeat had dealt him
vital blow and that he never again
would be the man that he was few
hours ago.
| There was silence as he passed
through the streets. Men rushed forth
from the gambling tables to gaze. but
NO word Of taunt or derision was
thrown at him. Those who saw that
fight, and that includes nearly every
body in Reno, know that Jeffries did
his best.
| The train was lost In the red glow
that the sun shed over the Sierras.
Jeffries was gone into history. In
the other direction, somewhere in the
desert to the east, a hilarious band Of
negroes was journeying, with the ban
lner of the worlds champion floating
from the car window.
Special trains have been pulling out
of Reno all Monday night and all day
Tuesday to get 10000 visitors back
home. Thousands stood all day. grips
in hand. waiting to Chamber into the
next train.
Thousands gave il tip and decided
to wait over for lighter traffic. As u
consequence the gambling houses
were running full blast and the main
street presented the aspect Of from.
tier mining camp at the height OF
gold strike.
A determined effort was made by
the losers in the fight betting to re-
coup their losses and at last accounts
