The battle had lasted Just four
minutes and forty seconds.
After Creedon had revived In his

died down. Bob stepped TO the ropes

belt for a battle for the heavyweight
championship OF the world, the Pc
lice Gazette Diamond Belt and a slo,-
900 side bet
That was Bob's first formal chaI-
lenge to ms. Several times during
the summer of 1894 he had made
statements through the newspapers in
which he stated that he wanted to
take me on but never had gone so
far a. TO state that he would put up
the $4,000 to guarantee the match.
I was Just as anxious to fight as
was F'itx. hsd but one real contest
in moro than two years. That was due
to the fact that very few heavy
weights who were active at that time
were in the topnotch class.
AT that timc / weighed around 1870
pounds in fighting condition and FTtE
was scaling somewhere close to ITO
pounds various stories have been
printed that Fttx weighed only about
16j or 1870. Hut the real truth Ia
that Fitz had taken on considerable
weight and was far out OF the middle
weight division, even though he was
rsputed to weiga only 1873 pounds
when he fought Cre~don.
The showing OF Bob since his ad-
vent in the United States In 1890 Ger
tainly was a remarkable one. Te
had met seventeen foee-and knock
ed out every one OF them. His list
OF victims included:
Billy Mccarthy. Arthur Upham.
Jack Der pssy. Able Congo. Black
Pearl. Peter N&her. James Farrell,
Toe Godfrey. Jerry slattery, Millard
Gender. Jim Hall. Phil Navo. Jack
warner. J--ck Hickey, Joe Choynski,
frank Kellar and Dan Creedon.

who was only about ten pounds lighter
and who had established remark

on American soil.

There SIN seems to be some mis-
understanding on the part OF some
as to the matter OF com blnation sales
OF sendstuffs The only combination
noY permissible is that of one pound
OF sugar TO two pounds of corn meal.

The object of this privilege lis to

This combination, however. Is purely
optional on the part OF the dealer,
Should 1t be found that this creates
an ARTIFICIAL demand for cornmeal

Julius Caesars conquest OF
Gaul in b. c. 81 began rule un-
der the Roman empire, which
lasted five centuries, during which
the country advanced rapidly In
civilization and refinement.
France got her name from the
Franks, who, headed by Clovis In
4S6 A. D.. ended the Roman do
minion. Clovis divided his king
dom among his four sons and his
dynasty, the Merovingian, ended
in ISL, when the Carolingian line
of rulers began with Pepin the
Short.

pire under Pepin's son, Charles

that when the ship struck, it being
in a storm, the sea broke SO high
and SO continually over her, that
the men were not able to bear 1t,
and we're strangled with the con-
slant rushing in of the water, as
much as IL they had been under
water.
Besides the dog, there was moth
ing left on the ship that had life;
nor any goods that | could see, but
what were spoiled by the water.
There were some casks of liquor.
whether wine or brandy knew not
which lay lower in the hold, and
which the water being ebbed out, l
could see; but they we're too big
to NEEDLE with. l saw several
chests, which believe belonged to
some of the seamen; and / got two
Of them into the boat, without ex-
aiming what was in them. Had
the stern of the ship been fixed,
and the forepart broken off, l am
persuaded l might have made a
good voyage; for by what l found
in these two chests I had room to
suppose the ship had a great deal
of wealth on board; and, IL / may
guess from the course she steered,
she must have been bound from
Buenos Ayres, or the Rio de la
Plata, in the south part of Amer
lea, beyond the Brazils to the Ha-
vannah, in the Gulf of Mexico. and
SO perhaps to Spain. She had, no
doubt, a great treasure in her, but
of no use, at that time, to anybody,
but what became of the crew I then
knew not.
