An- grb-s, easily defeated Peter Jackson In the third round tonight at Woodward', pa vilion. Jackson did not make much of showing after th first round. He dis played some of hi old time cleverness In ducking and Jabbing wltn his left, but could not land hard enough to stop tha rushr of his younger and wronger an tagonist. Jeffries showed considerable Improvement In clevernes. using hi hand with both Judgment and precision. The second round was lively until Peter got a hard left swing on the Jaw which sent him on hi hack. He rose only to gn down again from the same blow and waa saved by the gong sounding time. Jackson came up looking fairly fresh In the third round, but soon received a bard left on the Jaw which made him wobble helplessly about the ring. Another blow from Jeffries sent him against the ropes, where he hung unable to lift his hands. Jeffries magnanimously stepped back, awaiting the recovery of his opponent, but aa Peter was plainly out the referee stepped between them and declared Jeff ries the winner. - - - " " MURDER AND SUICIDE.
