porting his little head, he was a
curious, almost laughabIy awk-
ward figure. But this very aw!1.
wardness was his best asset. And
he was crafty enough to under.
stand IL and use 1t to greatest
advantage.
His movements were so unex-
pected and out of the ordinary
angles and gestures of the game
that his antagonists were puzzled
to gauge either his attack or his
defense. And when they solved his
erab.like shunts of defense and got
to him repeatedly it was to discover
that the ungainly blacksmith was
one OF the toughest, hardest men
that ever stepped into a ring. That
thick neck of his was wonderful
shock absorber for blows that went
to his face and head.
It was a hard matter to daze
FitzsimmOns with the stiffest Of
jabs and swings. Corbett rained
all that he had on Fitz only to
find a gaunt, sharp-elbowed arm
shooting forth and a glove sunk in
his midriff that sent him wrlthing
and helpless to the mat. Fits
fights with Jeffries proved that it
Corbett takes fourth place, but in
one aspect he was premier. He
was the darling in the eye of every
one of us trainers-the great artist
Of the boxing arena. No heavy
weight was ever so swift with his
hands or more intelligent in the
direction of them. Johnson and
Dempsey might equal him in foot
work, and both could nit harder,
but neither has ever in more than
was only Jeffries's bulk chat won
the victory.
In all around confederation
flashes shown the speed with hands
and feet which Corbett could so
frequently sustain Throughout: an
entire round.
There was not so much bacl: of
Jim's punches as back of the jabs
and hooks and swings Of these
other men, but Corbett in action
was the most satisfying spectacle
that ever a boxing expert looked
upon. He could hit hard, but not
crushingly hard.

bloodhound testimony" savors of

A. O'Neill, chief justice of the Lou

from a majority opinion unfolding

barbarous as witchcraft ITSELF The
court affirmed the conviction of
Mitchell Davis, of Franklin parish,

scene of murder and brought up at

PENDANT a rehearing of his petition
for a new trial. Davis was SEN

1.-The ruling that such evidence is
admissible is contrary to the weight
of authority and is violative Of the
fundamental right of an accused
person to be faced by and to cross
examine the witness against him,
said the chief justice. In a sense,
of course, it may be said that the
bloodhound does not testify, that his
conduct is the subject of the testi-
mony merely as the circumstance
showinG tilt Of the person trailed
by the and But this statement.
that the Bloodhound does not testi-
fly, is only skin deep. The blood
hound, i'll such case, is a supposed
expert witness, who cannot give
any reason for his expert opinion
of the guilt Of the person whom he
trails.
ITO admit such testimony is the
same as to say that testimony of
lookers-on would be admissible to
prove that a human being with an
abnormal sense of smell trailed the
person on trial and pointed him out
as the guilty party even if the hui
man being could not give any rea-
son for his expert opinion. The adj
ministrat:on of justice is a practical
affair.
"SOme men put more credence in
weird, uncanny, uneXplainable cir
cumstances than they accord to
simple facts, and some have more
faith even in mediumistic messages
from planchettes and ouija boards.

mony,' being uneXplainable, savOrs

Alma Girl, Missing
Two Years, Is Killed
By Train at Waycross

WAYCROSS, Ga, July "a body,
dressed in mans clothing, but iden-
titled as that of Miss Nell Price, of
Alma, Ga, said to have been miss
ing from her home for two years,
was found on the tracks of the At
lantic Coast Line railroad after the
arrival of the train from Jackson
vile last night. The body was bad
ly mutilated, apparently having been
run over by the train.
Considerable doubt exists in the
minds of railroad officials as to the
cause of her death. Suicide has been
advanced as q theory as the fireman
stated this morning that he saw
some one fall on the track in front
Of the train from a small platform.
The fact that the girl was dressed in
mans clothes leads some to the
theory that she was beating a ride
and fell beneath the wheels. Others
believe she was asleep on the track,
and did not hear the whistle for the
crossing. Two men are said to have
come here from Alma today to iden-
tify the body at a local undertaking
establishment

GOLDF|ELD IN RUINS;
RESIDENTS DECLARE
THEY WILL REBUILD

GOLDFIELD, New, July 7.-(By
the Associated Press.) - Goldfield,
once a synonym for fabulous wealth,
quick fortunes, gambling and all the
town, is but another name for DESC
lation today. The desert wind blew
a blast yesterday famed a fire
which officials said had been set as
an episode in bootleggers' feud, and
swept the flames from end to end Of
the community. AS a result, one
missing, and damage estimated at
possibly $1,500,000 was done.
OF all the rows of houses known
to the miners, the prospectors and
THE sportsmen who flocked thither
to see the Gans-Nelson lightweight
fight in 1906, only half dozen build
! ings remain. Of these, the Goldfield
hotel, where miners and dress-suited
promoters gathered stands alone.
Though the fire started across the
street from it, this structure escaped
virtually unscathed. Other buildings
standing are the railroad station,
postoffice, the old John S. Cook &
Co. Bank building, the Elks' club
and the hospital, whence DR.. Charles
r. Blake and his wife yesterday car
ried ten patients-all there were
when the flames threatened to
take it.
The rest is waste, churred walls,
smouIdering ashes and smoking
ruins
Goldfield gave the flames u hard
battle Water, piped thirty miles
from a spring in the mountains, and
dynamite from the stores of mines
and the magazines of supply houses,
were used against them. But the
water supply was inadequate, the
dynamite only made fresh kindling
out of the flimsy structures.
Though for years Goldfield, which
once was d city of $4,000, had more
houses than it's dwindling population
needed last night there were not
enough for the thousand that re-
manned when the fire started.
From Tonopah, from other Ne
Vada cities, even from California,
came food, clothing or other relief
to the stricken town.
Last night hundreds of refugees
huddled on the hillsides. amid what
possessions they had been able to
save, or slept as best they could in
rehabilitated miners shacks on the
outskirts of the city. Others went
by train or automobile to Tono-
miles away. They carried word that
they and those left behind would
rebuild their city.
