MARSH STORE AND CITY MAR
kET BuRN-lOSS S45, 900
Thursdays Herald)

Damage estimated $45, 600 was
the result of two fires last night
which broke out within 80 min
utes of each other in Nogales,
Sonora and Nogales, Arizona.
The municipal market of the So
nora city, the first to catch FIRE,
and an adjoining Chinese two
story mercantile establishment,
are almost total losses. while in
this city the George B Marsh,
Inc, hardware store, 125 Grand
avenue.. suffered heavy damage
to stock and fixtures.
Fearing spread of the flames
in the Mexican city business dis.
trict. departments Of Nogales,
Arizona. and Camp Stephen D.
Little. u. S. army camp, were
called out and with the exception
Of one old piece of apparatus,
the entire fire fighting equip
ment of the two cities was en-
gagged in the battle with the pub
lie market FIRE, when the fire in
local hardware store was discov
cred. Hastily picking up their
long lines of hose, the two local
departments rushed back across
the border and succeeded in pre-
venting total destruction to the
hard ware store.
Both fires are considered the
largest in the history of the two
cities. The fire in the Sonora
city is believed to have started
in the Chinese establishment and
spread into the public market.
The market is owned by the So
nora city and constitutes one of
the city's largest income sources.
The market supplies food to
about 90 percent of the Sonora
city's 5000 population.
Mayor Guillermo Mascarenas
estimated the loss to the city
and the merchants in the market
at $40, 900. Insurance amounting
to $4,000 is carried on the build
ing. The Chinese esta blishment's
loss was estimated at $4,000.

Jim Jeffries was not actually
knocked down and out by Jack John
son. In fact, as referee l did not
count h m out-made no count ar
all.
This statement is made in answer
to several requests I have had TO
tell Just how Jack Johnson knocked
out Jeffries on that memorable
Fourth Of July in Reno. .. 90.
The end came after it was very
apparent that Jim Jefr.es was
beaten. Johnson was entirely too
clever for him and seemed to have
more physical strength. JACK was
gradually wearing the big fellow
down and had him webbing about
the ring. In the twelfth round, after
Jeffries had been knocked down and
laid up against the ropes and had
showed that he had no more chance
of winning Sam Berger jumped in
the ring. - -
"Thats enough" he said to me
TEX CATCHES JoHNsON's ARM.
Just as he said it Johnson had
drawn back for final blow and I
caught his arm. That was the end
of the fight. Jeffries was on his
feet. 1t was scored. a technical
knockout. of course. Ina few min
utes Johnson would have had him
out. Sam Berger was very wise and
sensible in stopping it when he did.
For me the end Of that famous
fight was a great relief. My job Of
refereeing had been no trouble at
all. The men fought clearly. and
there was little for me to do except
keep them at It. 80. ..
The greatest relief, though, was
that the fight. at last, had been
successfully pulled off. I knew 1t
was a financial success before we
entered the ring. Hundreds OF those
holding tickets for the fight in San
Francisco had exchanged their tick
cts for seats at Reno. The arena
was full. -.
JEFFRIES MAKES MISTAKE.
At the very start Of the fight
Jeffries made the mistake OF trying

and other about him would nave rec
ognized any condition in him result
ing from dope or poison of any kind;
He was an object of great care and
solicitation on the part of those
about him. They were watching his
condition constantly, and when the
hour OF the fight arrived, pronounced
his condition perfect, because he had
been thoroughly examined physical
" a short time before the bout be-
gan

like opinion. That there were those
willing and capable of doping either
Jeffries or myself, however, do not
doubt.
Tried to Poison Him
One thing of which l am certain
is the fact-that an effort was made
early in my training to poison me,
and had not one Of my associates
swallowed the poison, which was
meant for me, the Reno fight might
have had an entirely different end
ing. As it was, Frank Sutton, a
member of my training staff, became
deathly i'll and was constantly I'M
der the care of doctor. The effect
of the poison was just as one might
wish had he planned to disable a
boxing contestant, for it left con-
tinuous i'll effects, and it was almost
a year before Sutton had recovered,
and then only after he had been al
most constantly under the care OF a
physician.

ENEMIES TRIED TO POISON HIM-FRANK SUTTON uol iii
DOSE-WAS SICK FOR MANY MONTHS

All thought that l would win the
fight and they backed their beliefs
to the fullest possible extent. OF
ell these staunch fellows, who aided
me in preparing for the fight, none
has ever had reason to desert me.
All of US, to this day, have remained
the closest of friends. Four of them,
| regret to say, are dead, but | re-
call their presence with the tender
est of memories. The four who have
gone are. Foley. Delaney, Ketchel
and Cotton. They, together with
those who are still living, made
training worth while and association
with them was privilege and a
pleasure.

The poison was swallowed in a
bar-room at the Seal Rock Hotel,
San Francisco, where | had estap-
liehed my training quarters. |, my
self, and members of my party OIL
ten went into this particular bar
room for a glass of wine. Sutton,

everything to close scrutiny. On the
day he was poisoned his suspicious
were aroused and, without saying
anything to me, he shifted the

poured for me and my friends.

the Johnson-Jeffries fight, Because ).
of the bitterness entertained by, Jeh

and the Importance with which 1t
was fraught for me, the selection, OF
tbe referee for the contest, like that
in the Burns fight, was a difficult
problem. The press and sporting aq-
thorities gave it much attention II
was a matter of lengthy daily aus

to box with Johnson. The darby
was entirely too clever for him. In
the first round however, Johnson
was extremely cautious. He tented
around to be sure Of his ground.
For three minutes. he took. no
chances whatever. Johnson was
very clever ring general. He was
trying to see how far he could go.
When Jeffr.es tried to box him, Jack
began to grin. :.
AS the fight progressed Johnson
knew he was going to win. Then
his boyishness came to the surface.
He could not resist making Jokes.
In one mixup Jeffries missed and
Johnson soaked him a good one.
"Mr. Jefrries," said the darby, his
lips parting in a big grin, "ain't no
use in talking, dis Is one time you'se
met yo' Waterloo! Jes' go an tell
'em I said so. Vas, sir-Waterloo Is
right"

The Jeffries crowd still had hopes
and were yelling encouragement
from all parts Of the arena. Jim
Corbett. second to Jeffries, was fol
lowing every move and making
occasional comment. Finally John
son caught his eye. Again he smiled
showed those gold teeth. ;.
IL rly a
ing over the edge Of the ring, you
better come up here and help out
Mr.. Jeffries." :. :.
A few minutes later he spoke to
Corhett again.
"Cain't do no good out there, Mr..
Jim" said the. grinning darky. This
Mr.. Jeffries needs somebody up
here. and right now!" :.
There was never a gamer fighter
than Jim Jeffries. He gave all he
had, but he was up against it.. I
don't know If anything could have
saved him. there is no doubt in my
mind that. the. stomach. trouble
weakened him He appeared heavy
and slow moving from the start.
When it was all over I hurried
to find out just how we stood imam
cially.
The receipts for that fight were
s270.715! I suppose my smile would
have been as golden as that OF Jack
Johnson II I had had the gold
teeth After all the troubles and
irritations was big winner.
