MAN FOUND LYING AT ROADSIDE WITH
 BULLET IN CHEST

At St. Vincent's hospital with his lower left chest punctured by a .32 caIiber revolver bullet and battling g for life is a man known only as George victim of either a suicide attempt or murderous assault this forenoon on Sedgwick street near the Fairfield line. Non-communicatfve to a marked degree, he refuses to dis close the manner of his getting into that location, who he is and as to how he came by his injuries.
 Apparently a foreigner, he appears to be of pore than average intelIi- gence, was well dressed and bore many marks of refin ement. The re- voIver, a new and high priced weapon, is in the hands of the police. Two chambers were exploded, it being con- sidered that he first tested it. To hos pital surgeons he intimated that he has passed the night in some lodging house, giving the impression that he is but a visitor to Bridgeport and may have come here contem plating the deed as a result of financial reverses.
 No one has been found who heard the shots fired or saw him when he fell. Charles I. Rhodes of 50 Sedg- wick street first noted his prostrate body lying up against an embank- 1nent adjoining his property. He was then serni-conscious and grooming. Dr. J. H. Finnegan responded with the emergency hospital ambulance. To him the stranger appeared half dag ed and more as if in the last stage of pneumonia It was only by exam ination on the way to the hospital that it was found that a bullet wound was responsible. Later the revolver was found about 15 feet from where the body lay.
 At the hospital this afternoon it was reported that he is resting easily Only one bullet has been located, en- bedded in the muscles of the back. having made a clean puncture through the chest and apparently puncturing some of the vital organs

NEW HAVEN GAINS ONE POINT WHILE
 MARKET IS DULL

New York Dec. 1.-Opening.-A few stocks which were influenced by spe- 'ciaI considerations moved widely in Khe early trading today, but the mar ket as a whole was narrow and dull F-iIIng of the governments suit against ehe American Can Company after the close Saturday depressed the Can stocks. but selling was not heavy and declines of the common and preferred shares were only about a point.
 New Haven and Canadian Pacific ad- vanced 1 while Louisville dropped 3-4 on a single transaction
 Noon-Underlying firmness was ap- parent throughout the forenoon stock market, although business. continued on a limited scale Hesitation in the early period gave way gradually to better tone and ultimately the aver nge of prices was raised fractionally above Saturdays close.
 Only a temporary influence was ex- ierted by the obviously unfavorable features of the situation, such as the governments suit. against the Ameri- can Can Co.,, the exceptionally poor bank statement of Saturday and the heavy losses in October net earnings by railroads
 Possibility of supreme court deci- eions today in important eases hin dered confident operations. Bonds were irregular.

With all exits to the mine except that to the Andy Tunnel sealed with mud and with poisonous gases floating back into the depths of the workings, it was expected that the fugitive would make a break for liberty today.
 A large amount of dynamite. is stored in the mine and knowing that Lopez could easily blow out one of the bulkheads, the seven sheriffs early today stationed a dozen deputies at the tunnel mouths with orders to shoot him on sigh
 On November 21, Lopez killed a Mexican miner and later in the day he killed the chief of police and two deputies who pursued him. After a chase through several counties he backtracked to Bingham and took re- fuge in the Utah-Apex mine where he killed two more deputies last Sat- nrdav.

JACK BURKE EX- PUCILIST
 BURIED TODAY Parti icipa11t In Longest Ring Fight In History of
 Game
FOUGHT ANDY BOWEN
 no ROUNDS TO DRAW
Latterly Had Made Name As Vaudeville Entertainer
 Stricken In New York

Jack Burke famous in the an nals of both pugilism and the vau- devilIe stage, a familiar figure about the streets of Bridgeport, where he is well known and from which city he selected the wife who still survives him, died in New York on Saturday from an attack of the heart. His body shipped to this city early this morning was inferred with simple ceremonies in the Swords family plot in Mountain Grove cemetery.
 Burke will be remembered by the older members of the boxing fratern- ity and in sporting circles over the world the man who on April G. 1893, fought the longest battle upon record in a prize-ring, meeting Andy Bowen, alight-wetght at New Orleans, for a draw which lasted 11O rounds and the time of which was hours and 19 minutes.
 ''Burke2 or George Campbell, which was his baptismal name, was born in Galveston, Texas. about 50 years ago. As a fighter he early attained prominence. meeting the best men of his day. After his famous bout with Bowen he married in the south and was one of the first to enter thea trical circles with a boxing exhibi ton in which he was assisted by his wife. They later appeared in vau- deville under the name of Jack 8nd Rosie Burke.
 Upon the death of his first wife he became manager Of Bob Manches- ter's Crackerjack company for Gus Hiss. It was there he is said to have met his present widow, who was then a feature with the show. She was then known as Mrs John Bowen, for merIy Miss Allie Swords, daughter of the late W. F. Swords, the erstwhile lumber merchant of Bridgeport.
 After short tour of the country with the Cracker5aeks, the couple made their home in New York city for a while, Burke appearing success ively in vaudeville with partner named McAvoy and later with Steve Finn. He was playing as late as month ago with hiG last partner at the Circle theater in New York.
 During the latter part of his life he made a tour of the world, accom- panied by his wife. It is related that in London, upon the Fourth of July, at reunion of Americans, he gave sparring exhibition with James J. Jehries.
 Burke never succeeded in winning the lightweight championship title.
