boxers. athletes OF all sorts with their

PickLick Dies
 OfHis Wound

Joe Picklick, who was alleged to have been hit on the head by Frank Velard with a piece of iron pipe on the 40O-foot level of the Czar mine on Friday, died yesterday at the Cop per Queen hospital from the effects of the wound. Picklicks skull was fractured at the time he received the blow and he was unconscious most of the time up to his death.
 As soon as the officers learned of his death a complaint was sworn out before Judge Winters of Lowell, charg- ing Velard with the crime of murder. It is expected that preliminary ex- animation will be held during the early part of next week.
 No funeral arrangements have been made pending the receipt of word from relatives, but will probably be held Monday.
 Velard is still held in the city jail
