Speedy and One-Sided Bis
Fistic Event Yes
terday
NO SHOW FROM FIRST
Only Three Rounds, Occupying Nine
Minutes-Former Champion Leaves
The Ring Badly Used UP.

Toledo, Ohio, July By virture of
one of the speediest and most one
sided battles which ever decided big
fistic event Jack Dempsey, who may
now wish to be known by his full vot-
ing name of VIM. Harrison Dcmp-
sey, yesterday became the worlds
champion heavyweight boxer
Tc all intents and purposes he whip
ped the huge Jess Willard, favorite
in the meager betting, in one round.
Dempsey thought the refree had an
nounced him winner and actually left
the ring. But he was called back and
the butchery continued for two rounds
more, when Jess sitting in his COR
ner with a bewildered look on his
swollen countenance, failr! to re-
spond,to the gong for the fourth
round. i
"It was no use to continue said
the ex-champion. .."sMy strength vent
from me: in the first rouad."
He; sat there, apparently the most
surprised man in the United, States at
the moment. His right eye was closed
and that whole side of his face was
swollen and blue with bruises. Blood
covered his body and his arms hung
SO helplessly over the ropes that it
seemed as if a child might give him
further abuse withou: arousing his in
terest.
Dempsey was breathing hard when
the fight ended, but it was from exer-
tion and not from punishment. He es-
capped almost un,hurt, but as he had
BEEN using his arms like trip ham
mers on the anatomy of his opponent
/ for nine crowded minutes in sur
that sent the thermometer to 40 de-
erceS. his heart was still pumping al
high pressure and he appreciated the
breathing spell.

SPENT 4 QUIET FOURTH

Alexandria yesterday spent an un-
usually quiet Fourth. Practically all
business was at a standst!l. Thous-
ands of persons left the city early
in the day for nearby resorts, and
many will not return home until to-
morrow right. During the after
noon hours the streets were dcs ort-
cd. Early in the evening, however,
crowds soon started to Washington
to witness the peace celebration in
that city. Each outgoing train car
ried capacity crowds ard several
thousand persons made the trip.
There was absolutely no disorder
here of any description and the law
regarding the use of explosives was
carried out.

nirlg a systematic analysis on the pro
duct Of all dealers. To secure the safe
st ard best milk call up the Health

HEMoRRHAGIC sEPTICBMIA,
INE0FN NV y
BY L. 7. KING

BY L. i. KING.
The Warden of the Wind Cave Game
Preserve is in receipt of information
from the Bureau of Biological Survey
stating that hemorrhagic septicemia is
unusually prevalent in some of the wes-
tern states.
There have been thirty-two deaths in
the big bison herd in the Yellowstone
Park, and cattle and sheep in different
localities are dying from the disease.
It is feared that the disease will spread
to other range states, and stockmen are
warned TO be on the lookout for it.
1t attacks various species of animals,
but is especially severe on cattle, sheep
and swine. The mortality Is higher in
young animals, and especially so when
they are in poor condition. 1t may be
mistaken for blackleg, and even anthrax,
but has other characteristics not com.
mon to those diseases.
The Division of Publication, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington,
D. g., will send free to any one request
ing it, copy of Farmers Bulletin l0ls,
which explains all that is known about
this disease. Everyone interested should
send without delay.

CATTLE RUsTLING WILL
BE A BAD Business

The bill in relation to rewards for the
apprehension Of stock rustlers increased
the reward under the present law, which
is 500 to 81 900 The reward as increas-
ed under the proposed law will be an
incentive tc officers in the collection of
evidence against rustlers, especially in
the western portion of the state. The
amount is large enough to make it real
object to police officers to apprehend
these gentry, and in view of the fact that
the fees of officers have been limited to
a set amount, this new law will be the
means of considerably increasing their
salaries fcattIe rustlers continue to oper-
ate. The proposed law making stock
rustlng felony, regardless of the value
of the stolen property will also tend to
discourage the operations Of rustlers
