Mrs. Neill had called him this name in
a fit of rage because he had later
suggested to her the carrying out of
her husbands alleged remark earlier
in the evening. were unavaiiing- Mrs.
Neill charged in her answer that
Holder-or the hired man"-had in
suited her after Neill's alleged remark.
Holder denied this and thought the
hired girl must have told Mrs Neill
what he had said about her.
Holder said Mrs. Neill had asked
drive to Kansas City with her, where
they would sell the car. but denied
that lie had been first to suggest this
to his employers wife.
The plaintiffs father. John c. Neiil.
a farmer living south of Wakarusa,
was placed on the stand by the coun-
sci in an unsuccessful attempt to
throw light on his sons financial con-
dition. Neiirs mother was also
placed on the stand and told of Mrs.
Neill's act in recovering her children.
of whom John Neill was to have the
custody according to their contract.
NELL brought the children to his
fathers house and several days later
Mrs. Nellie Neill came after them in a
car. The elder Mrs. Neill stated that
when she picked up one of the chill
dren to keep her daughter-in-law from
had seized her arm SO Violently that
it left finger marks for about two
weeks. The young woman. however.
succeeded in getting away with the
children.
May Settle Out of Court.
A number of witnesses for the plain
tiff testified that in their opinion Mrs.
Neill had been at times too violent
in correcting her children, but so far
only Neilrs side of the case has been
presented and none of the defendants
witnesses have been on the stand.
About twenty-five persons have been
subpoenaed to testify in the case.
While efforts were being made to
settle the case out of court Friday
Neill was heard to remark that if
they would only allow him $500 that
his wife might have everything else
he possessed.
Neill testified that he is about 80
years old, altho a profusioa of gray
hair makes him appear much older.
Mrs. Neill is an unusually pretty
woman. tall and slender. and appar-
entity few years younger than her
husband. There are some rumors out
that the case may yet be settled with
out further hearing by the court.

ings. In the second "Swede" tired
considerable and Sanders improved.
The final round found both lads tired
but willing. Altho both managed to
plaster each other on vulnerable spots,
neither had the reserve stamina to
! over a kayo. The bout was
draw.
One of the creamy matches of the
entire day proved to be the three SEN
sationaI rounds between Private Ger

Burford, Saith coast artillery of San
was awarded the decision at the end.
For a time in the final round all ap-
pearances were directed that the 10th
boxer would stow away his man.
Burford was groggy and tottering on
his feed around the ring. Gerhardt
slammed him with everything in his
repertoire yet Burford would not go
down. The coast artillery champion
displayed great fortitude by the man
ner he weathered the gale of rights
and lefts pumped out by Gerhardt.
The San Francisco mitt artist DEM
onstrated to the crowd something ex-
traordinary in the line of a left hook
he slapped Gerhardt with during the
first round. In this stanza he had a
shade over the local boy, the healthy
rights Gerhardt brought home to Bur-
ford's midsection in the second spelled
inevitable disaster was ahead. The
coast man slowed up perceptibly in
this round and Gerhardt had things
all his own way to the elimination.
Burford weighed $50 and Gerhardt
139 pounds.
Pvt. Kelly, 41st infantry, was served
a neat and artistic lacing by Pvt. Nc
Gahan, 10th infantry, in the next bout.
The first round was even with neither
boy doing much damage. McGahan
took the lead in the second when he
whipped home three smart lefts to
Kelly's face. Blood started to flow
from the 41st boxers nose and mouth
in this stanza. The third frame was
a replica of the second, with McGahan
doing the forcing. And the referees
decision went to McGahan at the end.

Testimony Brings Out More Dr.
vOrce Case Trouble.
MAY SETTLE OUT OF COURT
Belief That Sensational Evil
dence Is at an End.
Draft QUESTIONABLE Produced
To Prove Figures.

A name, commonly known as the
'fightin' phrase" was, in substance, the
appellation which Boyce Holder, sol
East Fourth street, testified on the
witness stand Friday afternoon that
Mrs. Nellie Neill had applied to him
on one occasion, with the further init
nation that Providence had frowned
upon him. 1t was during the case of
John A. Neill. young Wakarusa
farmer, who is suing his wife for di-
vorce on the grounds of neglect and
cruelty. The case was begun Thursday
afternoon and has been continued UNI
til next Thursday on account of the
civil jury cases that will occupy the
courts time the first part OF next
week.
The case appears to center around a
contract which the couple entered
into regarding division of their prop
erty when they agreed to separate
last August. Neill at that time, it
seems. represented himself to be worth
about $4,000. half of which he gave to
his wife. Mrs. Neill now contends
that he misrepresented affairs to her.
that he is worth more than he claims
to be and that she should have a larger
amount.
The efforts of the counseIs to settle
the matter out of court took up a
large part of the morning and part
of the afternoon Friday. but no prop
osition could be advanced that was
satisfa Glory to both sides. A goodly
part of the time consumed in the ac-
tual taking of testimony was spent in
an effort to find out how much Neill
was worth and how much money he
had made within the last year. For
this purpose the attorneys for the de-
PENDANT brought in certain questions
contained in Neilrs QUESTIONABLE,
some of which he admitted that he
must have answered incorrectly.
Hired Help Involved.
In her answer to NeilPs petition,
Mrs. Neill spoke of an incident which
took place before their separation, in
which Neill, she charged, had told her
to ''be with the hired man and that
he himself would be with the hired
girl.' The "hired man. took form at
the hearing Friday in the form of
Boyce Holder, who is boy about IS
years old and who worked on hesNeill
farm one summer. He testified that
they were all out in the automobile
one night and that when Mrs. Neill
went in the house, he-Holder-
turned to the hired girl and jokingly
remarked that she had better look
out sor Mrs. Neill would cut her
throat" He advanced this as the rea-
son tina Mrs. Neill later called him

WILLARD STARTS
 WORK TODAY

Toledo, O., June 2-Weary from his long. hot journey from California. Jess Willard, the worlds heavyweight champion, arrived here late last night to begin the real work of preparing for his championship contest with Jack Dempsey in the Bayview Park arena July 4.
 The champion came from his home in Lawrence Kan, where he spent Saturday with his wife and their five children. Willard and his party made a brief stop in Chicago yesterday afternoon, leaving for Toledo at 5 o'clock.
 After greeting Tex Rickard, pro- moter of the contest, and other friends, Willard hurried to hotel for a. refreshing sleep. He probably will be established in his living quarters within a day or two.
 Willard intends to inspect today the Casino, a clubhouse on the shores or Maumee Bay, where he will do his training, and may loosen his muscles d bit, although it is probable he may defer doing any work until Tuesday.
 It was scorching hot yesterday, but the heat did not prevent capacity crowd tanning Dempsey's canvas en- closed arena. After driving his punching bag rom US noorlnSS anu tugging at the weights Dempsey boxed four bristling rounds. Jack Lavin, a Cleveland light heavyweight, and Soldier Santon of New York, left tie ring with their knees sagging from the punching the challenger handed them They each boxed a round. The Jamaica Kid, a 165-round negro from New York, gave Dempsey the most spirited workout He is a skilful boxer and a hard hitter, and revelled in exchanging punches with the challenger. Terry Kellar faced Dempsey in the final round of the workout.
 Dempsey reeled off seven miles on the road yesterday morning, rowed a boat for three miles and went swim ming with members of his training staff.
 Jock Malone, the St. Paul welter- weight, and Sailor Ralston of the army were matched last night to meet in the semi-windup to the Willard Dempsey match. Ralston is stationed at Camp Funston. They will box 10 | rounds. Three other preliminaries will be staged.

Billy Hogan, It Is Understood, Is Planning Big Outdoor Show For Holiday Pitts Meets Leonard on WedneS- day Night.
By ROGER TERRI.

Negotiations were opened today for the staging of a big outdoor boxing show here on the afternoon of July A. Application for a permit has all ready been made to the police com mission and a definite report is ex- pected to be made within a day or so The promoter will be Billy Ho- gan, who has given the fans here some of the best boxing shows con- ducted in the past five years.
 The principal bout will be a setto between Mike O'Dowd, the middle weight champion, and Harry Greb of Pittsburgh. This would be a big at traction and could be depended upon to draw from not only this city, but from miles around Both are ex- ceediingly popular. Greb has all ways drawn big here and against O'Dowd attendance records should be broken.
 It is proposed, too, it is said, to stack Louis Bogash of this city against Battling Kunz of Norwalk. A better and more timely match could not be made and this would certainly be the way to make the card of a true championship calibre.
