ROUND THREE

The final session was simply a se- ries of rapid fire swings which fell on Willard's face and body with pile, driving power which left big Jess completely helpless as he staggered about the ring and wobbled along the ropes utterly unable to defend him. self. Blood bubbled from his mouth with every blow and spectators at the ringside began to yell to Referee Pecord to stop it. Just as the bell rang and Willard collapsed in his chair he spat out tooth and it was seen that he was in bad condition.
 Willard Consents to Quit
 As he sat lolling from side to side his chief second, Walter Monahan, talked earnestly to him and when Willard nodded his head Monahan walked over and spoke to Pecord The referee threw up his hands and hurried to Dempsey's corner. He ges- ticulated in the uproar and finally pulled Dempsey toward the center of the ring before the new champion realized that Wfllard's seconds had thrown up the sponge As soon as he grasped the situation; he started for Willard's corner and the late title holder arose and stepped weakly to meet him. They shook hands, Will lard muttered something in reply to Dempsey's remarks. and the fight had passed into history

ROUNDONE

Willard loomed up like a Goliath against his five-inch shorter David, and opened the engagement by pump ing his long left twice into Dempsey's face with force enough to make the latter blink. The challenger missed a swing and slipping into a clinch landed three body blows with his left hand, carrying but little force Will lard held him easily in a clinch and partly turning him around, used his rapier like left again, once to the head and once to the body after the break.
 Dempsey Opens Up Artillery Then Dempsey, as if he had got the range, opened his heavy artillery and swung a jarring left to the jaw, followed by right and left to the body.

 Willard Down at Bell
 He turned away from his opponent who struck again twice with his right, Willard falling on his hands and knees. When he arose Dempsey crowded him into a corner and with a right and left to the face sent him to the floor again. As he arose a fusillade of body blows dropped him in corner where he sat when the bell terminated the round and led Dempsey to believe that Willard had been counted out

 He said that no matter how much amp man who went through the fight ing might enter into the celebration of the Fourth his heart must turn at times to the comrades he had lost, to the brave men who went down in the fight.
 He spoke of an incident regarding pal of his who was an attorney from Wisconsin and who was wound ed through the abdomen in an attack on a strong German position across a wheatfield concealing a machine gun nest.

 A large crowd gathered along the line of march to witness the parade in the morning, then the athletic ev- ents at Lowell and Bisbee kept the children busy and the grown ups amused with their antics.
 The ball game in the afternoon at Warren park drew probably the larg- est crowd of the day with a goodly number of soldiers who came up from Douglas to participate in the celebra- tion here. The manouvers by the 10th Cavalry at Vista park was an interest ing spectacle, with a reminder of the wild west days, and last but not least, were the boxing matches at the ball grounds. which were witnessed by a record crowd.

 Capt. Victor J. Harding, an attorney from Phoenix who acted as orator of the day, entertained a large crowd at the Phelps Dodge Mercantile store steps near the postoffice with one of the most eloquent speeches ever made in Bisbee, and one made by a man who saw much service at the front.
 It was what the people wanted to hear, some picturing of the incidents of the dash and spirit of the Amer ican soldier at the front. He gave a most earnest and eloquent statement of what he believed to be the senti- ment of the returned soldier, their desires for a clean government, vital patriotism and true Americanism which will infuse a new spirit into our national life.

When he regained his feet he stumbled into a clinch but Dempsey easily tore loose and proceeded to batter him almost at will, the champion retaliating with but three feeble stabs to the face during the melee. When Willard went to his corner he fell heavily in to his chair and it was seen that his right eye was completely closed and that one side of his face was swol- len entirely out of shape, while Dempsey was unmarked.

 Col. George B. White of the Tenth Calalry wired Washington and secured permission for the discharged service men to lead the parade, which was very satisfactory to the men and those who felt that they should have the first place of honor.

Brannan's sons, who were loading
hay into the barn. All efforts to ex-
tinguish the flames were futile, how

the hay in the loft, after which it
was only Il Elc tter of minutes until
