eide whether Carpenter or Beckett should meet Jack Dempsel, the American heavyweight, for the cham pionship of the world next June. From the moment the referee, B. J. Angle, called time, Carpentier had the battle entirely in his own hands. Beckett never had a chance of hit ed blows with enormous strength whenever he felt inclined.
 Amid absolute stiffness most of tine spectators could hear the terrific crack of the swing that put Beckett to sleep. There was a roar of cheer ing as Carpentier assisted Beckett to his corner, where the Englishman opened his astonished eyes and saw his opponent being carried on the shoulders of the enthusiasts around the ring-and the Frenchman was smiling happily.
 The contestants presented a not able difference in appearance when they stripped and were introduced Beckett swarthy and muscular; Car pentier white skinned, with slight figure. Carpenter looked about him as though accustomed to his sur roundings; Beckett seemed some what nervous.
 Peer and peeresses, members of the house of commons, high officials of state, many women, most of them in evening gowns, and the prince of wales looked the fighters over criti- cally as they squared up.
 As a fight the contest was not spec tacular Carpentier was fast on his feet, dancing in and out and playing havoc with the Englishman from the first lead. With lightning swiftness Carpenters left leaped out and caught Beckett on the face, and a suppressed sigh was audible all over the house. A quick breakaway fol lowed a short clinch and the French man landed two more hard lefts.
 Beckett, with a sort of bulldog de termination, forced Carpentier almost to the ropes. But this was a diver sion for a moment only, for the Frenchman stepped back and then forward. and, with all his strength and the full weight of his body swung his right to the Englishman': jaw and Beckett went down and out
 The betting was heavy before tho contest. odds of seven to four being laid on Beckett, and most of those present were losers, although Car pentier had plenty of supporters.

Fans will be glad to hear that Fred (kid) George has been selected to act as the third man in the ring when Johnny Meyer and Happy Woods face each other in their 1O- round bout in the opera house in this city on the night of December II. George, who had a large following here during his career as a middle weight boxer, refereed the recent Loughery-Celmars bout and the Nick Gundy-Ralp Lincoln bout in Bisbee with excellent satisfaction to all who saw those matches.
 With the contest just one week away, Johnny Meyer, the local well ter, is putting in some hard licks in preparation for his match with Happy Woods, the hard-hitting Tus- conian. Woods will arrive in Bisbee Monday to give the local fans a three-day opportunity to watch him work out.

Another Ford Eagle mas achieved

steamed away from Detroit, Mich

noon of September 11th and arrived
at Montreal, Canada, at five q. M.
Sept. 18th, after having travelled a
distance of seven hundred and fifty
miles in sixty-three hours, which is
tween the two cities. One handicap
which materially decreased the run
ming time was the necessity of hav-
ing the boat towed through the We'll
land Canal distance of twentysix
miles. Because of its shallowness
the Canal cannot be traversed by a
boat under of it's own power.
The boat was manned by fifty
navy men from the U. S. Naval Can
Torment at River Rogue and was un-
der the command of Lieutenant
Hartley, who was detailed to take
the boat from Detroit to the Navy
Yards at Portsmouth, New Hamp-

Chattel Mortgages Must Isemain With
Recorder.

The following was received by
County Recorder Mrs. jeanette Alex
ander and is herewith presented to
our readers as matter. of informa-
ton. The subject under consider
alton is chattel mortgages and the
information comes from the office
Of Frank S. Shaw, Auditor of State,
and refers to the recent law in regard
to the manner of handling chattels in
the recorders office. Under the
late "ruling made by the Attorney
General, there is no way that the
recorder can deliver chattel mort
gage, or a real estate mortgage with
a chattel clause, to the MORTGAGE. II
filed and indexed as chattel mort
cages, they must be retained In the
Recorders office. No waiver, signed
by the mortgagee, can justify the
recorder in parting with such mort
gage. If a real estate mortgage with
a chattel clause is presented to the
recorder and recorded in full. the
same as under the old law, but not
file or indexed as chattel mortgage,
the mortgage in, this case may sign
a waiver of filing and indexing as a
chattel. and take the mortgage away
with him"
