We're few who opposed the resolutit d

thereto carried considerable weight,

do know do not know how much or

should net be closed until n much

was devised whereby samples for the

JOHNSON IS
NOW CHAMPION.
Defeats Jeffries in Fifteenth
Round at
Reno

Reno, July 4.--John Arthur John
son, of Texas, a negro, son Of an
American slave, tonight. is the first
and undisputed heavyweight champ
ion of the world.
James j. Jeffrles, of California, win
ner of twenty-five championship
fights, man who was never brought
to his knees before by blow, to-
night passed into history as a brok-
Ell idol. He met utter defeat at the
hands of the black champion.
While Jeffries was not actually
counted out, he was saved only from
this crowning humiliation by his
friends pleading with Johnson not to
hit the fallen man again, and as the
towel was being brought into the
ring at the end of the fifteenth round.
Richard raised his black arm, and the
crowd filed out glum and silent.
Jeffries was dragged to his cor
ner bleeding from his nose and mouth
and a dozen cuts on his face. He
had black and closed eye and
swollen features, and he held his head
in his hands, dazed and incoherent.
Johnson walked out of the ring
without mark on his body, except
a slight cut on the lip. which was
tie opening of a wound received in
training.
Ring experts agree it was not
championship fight. Jeffries had a
chance in the second round, perhaps
but after the sixth 1t was plain that
he was weakened and outclassed in
every point, and after the eleventh
round it was hopeless.

MAN PERHAPS FATALLY
SHOT BY A COMPANION
IN QUARREL AT CAMP

fairly good chance to recover: but
he will not be out of danger for some
time.
This morning. in the presence of
the deputy district attorney. the ply
sician and nurse, the injured man
made a sworn statement, which was
received by a stenographer. He stat
ed that he and Fantanio had drunk
a bottle of wine and had engaged in
a quarrel in the little camp shack.
He declared that Fantanio called him
a vile name, and that he struck Fan
tanio hard blow on the chest and
was fixing to strike him again when
Fantanio pulled a revolver and fired
twice. The first shot did not take
effect, but the second shot struck An
dreusi in the abdomen. Andreusi
fell to the floor and Fantanio fed
from the shack.
The injured man would not state
what the quarrel was about.
Andreusi is about 30 years of age.
He has been married, but his wife is
dead. He had been on the section
gang for two years or more, Il is re-
ported. and was hard-working,
good-natured fellow when sober.
Fantanio, the man who is alleged
OF have shot Andreusi.' Is about so
years of age. He had been employed
on the section gang for good while.
Sheriff Schrader remained in the
upper end of the valley during the
night and made every effort to To-
cate Fantanio, but without avail. The
man seems to have made good his
escape.
The two men were pretty well
known at Palisade and the little sta
tions above Palisade, both having
been working on this division for two
years or more.

IBy Assoclated Press. l

New York, Mar. 2S.-One of the
most atrocious murders on record in
this city, apparently the work of
tiend with homicidal mania and ri
valing in grewsome details the crimes
of Jack the Ripper, was brought to
light late Saturday when the charred
body of Ruth Wheeler, L Z years old. a
pretty stenographer who had been
missing from her home, was found in
yard in the rear of 224 East Seven
ty-fifth street.
This is the house in which Albert
Wolter. the man now under arrest on
a charge of abduction in connection
with the girls disappearance, had a
room.
Miss Wheeler had been strangled
with a rope, hacked with knife,
burned beyond recognition and then
thrust carelessly out of doors like so
much rubbish.
The girl had been attacked before
she was slain and her clothes had
then been saturated with kerosene
and the oil ignited with the evident
intention of incinerating the body
and thus covering up all traces of the
crime; but, when this failed, the
charred body had been doubled up
and placed in a burlap bag.
Although the body had been SO
burned that it was difficult for the
police to determine exactly how the
girl had met death, it is believed that
che was strangled by the person who
killed her
Evidences were found also that she
had engaged in fierce struggle with
her assailant and had met death as
she fought.
The flames from her oil-soaked
dress had burned every particle of
hair from her head and so scared the
body that Identification was possible
only through the clothing that had
not been destroyed.
The police believe that the girl was
abused and killed very soon after she
entered the apartments.
