sary to start the train again and run
the last wheel over the dead body.

placing snow fences along the North

ling. The work train was run on a
siding near Mckenzie to permit No. $
to pass. N1anley was riding on the
front step of the caboose.
Just as the train was being brought
to stop. the brakeman on the rear
step saw two legs projecting from un-
der the caboose. Jumping to the
ground, he found the body of Manley
damned between the two wheels Of the
rear truck. An effort was Immediate
ly made to extricate the body. but this
was, impossible and it was necessary
to start the train again, permitting
the rear caboose wheel to run over
the body.

Phantom Retires After Cruel.

O'DOWd

st. Paul, Minn.. Nov. 22-Mike Glib
bons. the st. Paul phantom, who last
night fought to draw with Mike
ODowd, today announced thru the As
sociated Press that he has decided to
retire permanently from the ring.
Gibbons who is considered quite
wealthy and who has family said he
today gave his promise to Mrs. Gill;
bons that he will not again participate
in ring battle.
Mike O'DOwd middleweight champ
ion. and Mike Gibbons. the st. Paul
phantom. fought terrific. bloody
ten-round bout last night. The fight
was vicious and close all the way. and
although several of the ringside experts
called the bout a draw, the majority
gave O'Dowd a slight shade.
The fight was SO close that anyone
seemed entitled to his opinion. ODowd
outslugged Gibbons when the phan-
tom threw caution to the winds and
fought the champion. When Glib
bons resorted now and then to his
famous boxing tactics he made
O'Dowd miss again and again.
TRY FOR KNOCKOUT
From the opening going it was ev-
ident that the two st. Paul fighters
were determined to settle their long
standing feud by a Knockout if pos
sible. Gibbons at times amazed his
followers by deliberately taking stiff
nuncheS from O'DOwd in an effort t.
land his dreaded right cross.
Early in the fight ODowd's right
opened a deep cut over Gibbons eye
and from then on Gibbons fought ua-
der handicap.
Gibbons had slight shade at the
start of the sixth round but in the
opinion of some sport writer's he lost
this lead when he tried to outslug the
champion. O'Dowd seemed the
stronger when the fight was over. ami
the crowd gave him the warmer re-
ception.
GIBBONS HURT. HIS HAND
Examination of Gibbons right hand
showed it was badly bruised and that
possibly small bones were broken.
