4 COuldn't Come Back Again Says
JeGries.
BY JAMES ]. JEFFRIES.

Reno. New. July 5.-T am not a
good fighter any more. couldn't
come back, boys.
Jack Johnson is a great fighter
and will hold the title for many
years. I cannot see any one who
has right TO dispute his grip on the
championship. He has everything
that goes TO make a champion. He
is the cleverest defensive fighter that
ever held the championship; can hit
a terrific blow and is a splendid ring
general.
At my best. I know that I could
have beaten him. But yesterday /
was far from being good. No fighter
can come back. I thought that j
would surely upset the old traditions,
but after going eight rounds l real
ized that my days as a fighter were
over.
At the end of the fourteenth round
Jim Corbett asked me why I didn't
start licking Johnson.
Hes too clever. jim; much better
than you were when we met" I an

Johnson must have realized at the

A GREAT QUESTION.

There is a cause for ali of this
without question. Swami was re.
garded as a model young man. He
was OF a retiring disposition. His
selection of his life's partner did
not exactly please some of his rela-
tives. This worried him. On the
other hand these relatives are al
legged to claim that his life's partner
was not congenial in the wedding
arrangements and that this worried
him. He had bought a house and
lot and had fitted il up. He had the
keys and his intended bride had ac-
cess to them. She had just "supped
sorrow in the loss of her mother
and she resigned her position as
public school teacher. looking for
ward to the matrimonial event with
unfeigned happiness.

REV. BURRELL oFFIcIATED.
PECULIAR REPORTS.

It was even alleged that Swami
had been married before. and that
his wife was here TO attend the FUN
eral. This was found TO be untrue
and was due to the fact that his
brother and his wife came TO attend
the funeral. Then too there was a
man said 20 be named Miller. who
claimed 10 be a cousin of the other
wife.
He made this claim in Miller's
Hotel, but upon being pressed he
admitted that he had no personal
knowledge of any such marriage. He
had heard It, IL is almost impossi-
bic to repeat all of the rumors but
il is safest and best 10 presume that
they all are false. The young man
has paid the penalty of all of his
follies, If he had any. with his life
and this should be enough.

AN EXPERT SWIMMER.

The turn of affairs has since caused
her to withdraw her resignation and
her name will appear upon the school
roster next session. Swami was an
expert swimmer so his friends say
and as his body was found near
Hampton, 1t has been a puzzling
proposition to understand the cause.
Some say that he must have plunged
in the bay at Buckroe and swan as
FAR out as he could possibly do and
then given up, having become ex-
hausted by the effort. It is plainly
evident that he never intended to
