DORY CAPSIZES ANDFOUR ARE
 DROWNED

Advices received at the Marshal's office from the superintendent of the Libby, McNeill and Libby cannery near Kenai, state that four employea of that cannery were drowned in the Kenai River on July by the cap sizing of the dory in which they were crossing the river.
 The drowned men and six china men went over to the town of Kenai, the da being Sunday and the cannery idle, and apparently obtained liquor there, as it is stated that they were more or less intoxicated when they started to return to the cannery. Ten men, consisting of three JapS, an Italian and six Chinamen, embark ed in the dory, considerably over loading the craft Their intoxicated condition, the strong currant of the river and a heavy southwest wind all combined to bring about the accident When parkway across the river the boat capsized, throwing the occu- pants into the stream. The accident was witnessed by several persons and means were immediately taken to res cue the men struggling in the wat CT The Chinamen were taken out alive, but the three Japs and the Italian were drowned The bodies Of the victims with the exception of that of one of the Japs was recovered later and were inferred at Kenai. owing to tho nature of the accident and the number of witnesses to the fact that the drowning was purely accidental, no inquest was held.-Valdez.

FANS NUT S1RONG LOVER
 HEAVY WEIGHTS

NINW YORK, July 25-1t is a strange thing that the average fight fan of today is one of the greatest huwlers the world ever saw when men, ton is made of a heavyweight tan gle. The general impression, follow ing sundry exhibitions is that heavy weight now is a slice of cheese.
 As a matter of fact, the record of Fred Fulton, the foremost contender for Jess Willard's championship is a great deal better than the records of some of the most popular men who ever fought as heavy weights.
 The record of Jim Jefferies does not carry the awe-inspiring series of knockouts as does Fulton's. Robert Fitzsimmon's great record of fights he won by a knockout doesn't com pare very well with Fulton's. and John l.. Sullivans record is not to be considered in the same breath with Fulton's. Fultons record shows he has engaged in thirty-five bouts. Of these he has won twenty-five by a knockout. Once he was flattened and he has lost two bouts on fouls Jcfferies went to the squared circle for twenty-one encounters, and On seven occasions he was returned win ner by a knockout.
 Sullivan appeared in thirty-six battles, just one more than Fulton. but he was able t9 win only eight by knockouts. Fitzsimmons fought for ty times and won only twenty-three of them with a finishing punch. It may be argued that the men these champions were meeting were far bet ter than the average heavy weight of today. However, it will be freely admitted that none of them was any better them Sam Langford, who Full ton has credit of a knockout over And Fulton has barred none of them, He is ready to meet them all
 In view of these records it is rather queer turn of affairs that
