was plain to all that Jeffries was il
distress His face was puffed ant
bleeding from the furnishing lefts and
rights he had received and his move
| ments were languid. He sham bled
before the elusive negro, sometimes
orouohing low with bis left hand stuck
out In front and sometimes standing
erect. STOPPING or erect. he was a
mark for johnson s accurately driven
blows.
| johnson simply waited for the big
white man to come in and chopped
his face to pieces. They came into a
clinch after feeble attempt by
Jefries to land left hand blow on
the body, aud as they broke away,
shot his left and right to the jaw in a
flash.
Jeffries staggered back against the
ropes. His defensive power seemed
to desert him in an instant. Johnson
dashed at him like tiger. A rain of
lefts and rights delivered at close
quarters sent Jeffries reeling blindly.
Another series of short, snappy punch
es and the big white giant went down
for the first time in his ring career.
He fell under the top rope, over the
lower on and onto the oyerhanging
platform.
Resting on his launches and right
elbow, Jeffries looked around in a
dazed way and got up at the count of
nine. While he was down, johnson
stood almost over him until Riokard
waved him back. He stood ready to
strike, and when Jeffries arose from
his knees he dashed in again.
Jeffries reeled about and tried to
clinch, but johnson eluded him and
as the old champion swung around to
the south side Of sAe ring the black
jolted him twice on the jaw. Jeffries
sank to his knees. weak and tired,
but got up again at the count of nine.
1t was then that Jeffries' friends
began to call to Rickard to stop the
fight.
"Stop it'll stop it'll" they shouted
AhoAh ulA 5iuob. - Uu l6t Utm U6
knocked out. !"
Rickard gave no heed to these ap-
peals. Jeffries was helpless now and
as he staggered to standing position,
the negro was waiting for him. A
left, right and another left, short,
snappy, powerful blows, found their
marks on Jerffies' chin and he went
down for the third time. Again he
sprawled over the lower rope, hang
ing half outside the ring.
The timekeeper raised and lowered
his arms, tolling of the seconds He
had reached the count of seven when
some of Jeffries seconds put foot in
side the ropes and Riokafd walked
between the fallen man and the negro
champion. Placing his hand on John
sons shoulder, he declared him the
winner.
While Jeffries was not counted ont,
this was merely technical evasion.
1t was evident that he could never
have gotten up inside of ten seconds.

THE JEFFR|ES- JOHNSON FIGHT
Bulletins Received Were of Such Ma
ture as to Preclude Jollification.

VAthena fight fans were sorely dis
appointed over the result of sthe JEFF
fries-Johnson fight at Reno on July
4th.
Members of the sterner sex who
remained in town wore gloomy ex-
pressions of disappointment as the
returns from the arena were doled
out by round. and it tecame fore
gone conclusion that the negro would
become Jeffries' conquere er.
At no time during the 10 rounds did
the white man show to advantage.
He was outolassed in every depart

more has the athletic world been
warned that 1t is impossible for mus

PAINTING THE WORLD.
Indian Legend Of the Way Spring
Came Into Existence.

Indian Legend Of the Way Spring
Came Into Existence.
Once. long before there were men In
the world. all the earth was covered
with snow and ice.
White and frozen lay the rivers and
the seas; white and frozen lay the
plains The mountains stood tall and
dead. like ghosts In white gowns.
There was no color except white In all
the world except in the sky. and 1t was
almost black. AT night the stars look
ed through 1t like angry eyes.
Then God sent the Spring down into
the world--the Spring with red lips and
curling yellow hair.
In his arms he bore sprays of apple
blossoms and the first fiowers-crocus.
anemones and violets. red. pink, blue.
purple, violet and yellow.
The first animal TO greet the Spring
was the white rabbit. The Spring
dropped a red crocus on his head, and
ever since then all white rabbits have
had red eyes.
Then the Spring dropped blue yio-
LET on white bird. the first bird TO
greet the Spring and that Is the way
the bluebird was made. Ever since
then 1t Is the first bird 10 arrive when
the Spring comes down from heaven,
SO the Spring went through the
world Wherever be tossed the leaves
from his fragrant burden the earth
became green. He tossed the blossoms
on the frozen seas. and the ice melted
and the fish became painted with all
the tint OF his flowers. That is the
way the trout and the minnows and
the salmon became gaudy.
Only the high mountains would not
bow to the Spring. SO their submits
remain white and dead. for they would
let the Spring paint only the sides.
The snow owls and the white geese
and the polar bears fed from the
Spring. so they. too. remain white to
this day.

Rain Short in Harney.

The dry weather and frost exper-
fenced in eastern Oregon have not
slighted Harney county. There has
not been rain storm since April that
has done the grain and dry land any
good. The few showers have general
ly been followed by heavy frosts that
damaged the grain and potatoes. The
spring grains. such as wheat, farley
and oats are failure, excepting where
the graiu is sub-irrigated. Fall grain
will be the only kind that will be
worth threshing. On the dry sage
brush land the settlers who have fall
rye will harvest good crops and will
have feed for their stock. The indica-
tious are that potatoes and all other

TO FIGHT DIVISION
Pendleton Commercial Club Will Raise
Money for Campaign Against
Orchard County,

At the Commercial association
meeting Tuesday evening the county
division committee submitted it's
report, says the East Olegonian, and
the substance of the recommendation
made ty the committee may be sum
married. .in the one word-hght.
In tho report, which was submitted
IN Writing and read by Secretary Ben
Hill in the absence from the city Of
Col. Raley, the division question was
treated at some length and suggestions
were made with reference to conduct
ing the campaign against Orchard"
county. Two features of the report
were that competent man be engaged
as campaign manager and that fund
of not less than $4,000 be raised for
defraying the expenses of the cam
paign.
After the report had been read the
general subject was opened for discus
sion and talks were made by President
W. l.. Thompson A. Alexander, May
or Murphy, q. M. Rice, Leon Cohen
and others who were present. Every
speaker urged that the fight against
division be taken up in earnest and it
was the conoensus of opinion that the
first step should consist III the raising
of a substantial sum to defray the ex
penses of the campaign.
In bis talk R. Alexander criticised
heavy property owners for their fail
ure to contribute to public enterprises
in the past and urged that In raising
the present fund the property owning
element should do its part.
After the report had been adopted
by the meeting it was decided upon
motion made by George Hartman, jr.
to leave the entire management of the
campaign in the hands CT the commit
tee that was appointed month or
more ago. This committee will have
charge of the raising of the fund. the
employing of campaign manager and
the general conduct of the campaign.
The committee is composed of Col.
J.. Ia. Raley, chairman; G. M. Rice
W. L. Thompson. Leon Cohen, R. AL

less some heavy rain storms visit that
country soon. The prospects were
never better than they were in April
for good crops. but the weather man
seemed to have forgotten that section
of the state when the need came for a
good rain. Silver river below Burns
