among whom were a score or 50 Of
women, saw Wild Bill Fleming Of Old
Town, Names best known weltcr-
weight, and Ernest Mcintyre, Houl-
tons colorcd aspirant to welterweight
honors, box six rounds which were
characterized by clean and at times
fast fighting but in which neither
demonstrated that he was the other's
superior. both finishing the bout with
out scratch and in good condition to
continue for another six rounds Per-
haps the crowd was looking for a
Fleming victory. in view of his hax-
ing been given the popular decision at
the first meeting in Houlton several
weeks ago. and having demonstrated
that he was the colored boxers supe-
rior in everything perhaps but defen-
sive work, but so far as a decision is
concerned it could hardly be given
to either man on the merits of the
fighting, Fleming showing an aGvan-
tage in some respects and Mcintyre
in others, the latter making it evident
that he is learning fast and will soon
be worthy opponent for any welter-
weight. McIntyre's defensive work
was good and Fleming had more trou-
BILE than he did at Houlton getting to
the colored man who fought cautious

and was quick to follow up a lead
when one presented itself, putting
considerable steam into his punches
which were mostly to the body.

Star, DIES AT ACE OF "a YEARS

the city. Almost from the first iss'ie
the Star urged the necessity of paw
ing the streets, of getting a park sys-
tenn, Of building attractive houses, Of
planting shrubbery and trees. Mt
Nelson himself had the trees set along
the first Kansas City boulevard. he
was constantly instigating movements
fir city betterment.
One Of his achievements was the
residence district which he laid out
near his home as an example of what
could be done toward city beautlflca-
ton. He built nearly a hundred modest
houses along roads which he lined
with stone walls covered with honey
suckles and crimson ramblers. He was
intensely interested in fine pictures
and he made a collection Of reproduc-
tons of European masterpieces done
by the best artists who could be
found, which he gave to Kansas City.
In politics he was, as he often said,
independent but never neutral But
he would never consider any elective
or appointive position. Early in Pres
ident Taft's administration the sug-
gestion was made in newspaper re-
ports that he might be appointed am
bassador to France He commented ed
itorially as follows: The editor of the
Star is amply occupied. sustained ana
satisfied with his present job. lie re-
GardS himself as holding a place %
greater responsibility and usefulness
than any within the sift Of the Pres
ident, or the electorate. Not only has
he never been a candidate, active OF
receptive, for any office. but he never
has asked for the appointment Of any
one else
In 1881 Mr.. Nelson married Miss Ida
Houston. Their one child, a daughter,
Mrs. Irwin r. Kirkwood, lives in Kan
sas City.
Active to Last
Mr.. Nelson took an active part in the
management of the Star up until about
month ago. when his condition
changed for the worse. Until then,
members of the Star staff gathered at
his bedside several times weekly, for
the purpose of discussing with MI
Nelson questions OF editorial policy. AZ
these conferences he would dictate
editorials and outline ideas for car
toons and feature stories.
Although his physicians constantly
advised against the part he was TAX
ing, during the last few months. in the
management OF the paper. he refused
to obey them, reminding them that il
was in the building of the Star he had
been happiest and that he would not
be content without something to &C.
cury his mind.
During the last month. however. Nj
Nelson has been conscious only at in
tervals. At each period his mind Was
clear and he constantly asked cues
tons about his newspaper and MN
hers Of its staff.

death according to physicians.
Founder Of Star
William Rockhill Nelson was found
er. owner and editor Of the Kansas
City Star Although he did not en-
ter the newspaper business until he
was nearly 10 years old, he brought to
it such originality, ability and energy
that he built up one Of the greatest
newspaper Of the country.
Mr. Nelson was born in Fort Wayne
Indiana, March !. 1S41. He came OF
two centuries of American ancestors.
His maternal grandfather, William
Rockhill, settled in Indiana when that
state was wilderness in 1919, AMI
was the first farmer in America to
plant a thousand acres of corn. His
father Isaac DETROIT Nelson. was iden-
titled with the upbuilding OF the state
and took an active hand in its political

and became a general contractor. He
/ engaged in the building of roads. pave
/ nents, and bridges, and was associated
/ in a contract for the construction Of
! tic Southern Illinois State Penitenti-
AIRY.
Intense admiration for the reform
work of Samuel J. Tilden brought him
into contact with that great Demo-
crat and when only "a years old, he
became Tilden's Indiana campaign
! manager. His interest in political
leadership made him turn to news
paper work as the best way to in
fluence men in the mass He bought
an interest in the Fort Wayne Sen
tincl and a business reverse deter
mined him to devote all his time ID
journalism.
( He soon became convinced that the
opportunities IN Fort Wayne were too
small and after looking the field ove-,
! he decided on Kansas City as the most
promising city of the country. He per-
