Madeira. Chihuahua, Mexico. July 1S.- Six rebels were killed another fatally injured, and half dozen others more or less seriously wounded in brawl that almost provoked a mutiny today among the insurrecto troops here.
 Two men fought over woman and one was killed. General Rojas ordered the murderer executed when friends of the condemned man intervened. Bullets flew for a few minutes until the arrival of Gen. Luis Fernandez. who suppressed the trouble
 The incident served to reveal, how ever. the temper of the 1500 rebel troops quartered here. The heavy rains have made camp life uncomfortable rations are short and the contemplated invasion of Sonora means many more hardships over bad trails with few horses. all of which has created mutinous spirit.
 The delay in arrival of "Cheche' Cam pos and his force of o,p men. who went south from here on foraging expedi- ton likewise Is causing uneasiness. Re. ports from federal sources declare that Campos is about to take advantage of the governments offer of amnesty. This is deemed plausible because of the ex- tensive business affairs of Campos in the state of Durango.

New York, July S.-Bombardier Wells, heavyweight champion of Eng land, knocked out Tom Kennedy of New York after two minutes and forty four seconds of fighting in the eighth round of their bout here tonight.
 The knockout came as the culmina- tion of the fastest fight seen here since the days of the Horton law The de- ciding blow was a right smash to the jaw which sent Kennedy down, his head hanging over the lower rope The referee counted Kennedy out and his second carried him to his corner Once before in the round Kennedy had gone down for a count of nine when Wells hooked his left to the face and sent his right to the jaw.
 Wells was by far the quicker throughout the fight, which was sched- uled to go 10 rounds, and his idea or distance was excellent. The English man forced the pace from the begin ming and worked so hard he was vis- ibiy tired before the fight was half over Kennedy, in some of the rounds, accepted enough punishment to knock out an ordinary man but he stuck to his work Although he was outclassed and outboxed all the way he made plucky fight Wells. while he cut his man up with rain of blows, was

unable to get Kennedy until the mid dle of the eighth round.
 Both men turned the scale at 191 K pounds before entering the ring and both were in perfect condition.
 The fighting was fierce from the tap second round Kennedy was bleeding from nose and mouth and from that stage was unable to land effectively. while Wells kept up his continual jab- ping, drawing blood from Kennedy s left eye Toward the end of the third round Kennedy got in some short body blows but Wells had delivered six blows to his one. In the following round Wells worked so hard, being all over his man, that he was visibly tired when the bell rang.
 The fifth round was in Wells favor, and in the sixth he continued jabhing, trying with an occayional right hook to the jaw. In the seventh Kennedy was weak on his legs after Wells had got him into corner with right and left smashes on the head. Just before the bell, however, Kennedy hooked his right hard to the jaw and the blow shook Wells from head to foot. In the freely but he was game and tried to fight back while Wells was landing lefts and rights to the jaw. When Ken nedy got up from his first knockdoWn in this round he was staggering and Wells took advantage of an opportune moment and placed the knockout blow.

MRS. THINNING DENIES
 ADMITTING FRAUD

Chicago, July 1s,--Failure of the grand jury to take action in the alleged at tack upon the reputation of Clarence S. Funk by means of a fictitious damage suit was explained today by a report that Mrs. Josephine Hennlng, whose af- feetions Funk was accused of allenat- ing, had positively denied making any damaging statements to Miss Eulalia Kearney, a masseuse.
