GRASS AND BRUSH FIRE CAUSES ALARM A fire in the old Whitman orchard.

The chemical hose was iik(1 with good effect, as tho water would not reach tho fire. The damago was oven less than nominal, as the orchard had been condemned and was being cut nwny, in order that it might be platted in town lots.

Trying U Mnko Weight. Two' days hofore tho first Guns Nelson battle, try as he might in his stuffy little Kynrnasium, could not tear off tLo pounds of voight that Noland Baid must como off. Be coming desperate, the r.fgro took to th'i hot alkili road under a blazing sun, repealing tho prefonnnnco often Nolan insisted that (Jans weigh i .ti with full fighting togs, scaling not a fraction of itn ounce over 13J .pounds. Gnr.H needed tho money irom that fight and would have cut off a leg to make the weight. For three dayc ho ato Utile tnoro than a bit cf toast three timet) a day, slak ing hiu thirst with a tiny sip of tea. Under HIS. When ho v.oko on tha day of that battlo nt Goldfiold lie weighed 133 stripped, but ho had to get below thct to allow for tho trunks and the rest of his fighting' toga. Out on tho rord he went without a bilo to cnt. At 10 o'clock that morning he had to step on the scales for a prelimi nary weigh-up. Nolan, among the harsh conditions that tlo n"WBpapor men covering tho figlr. protested against as unfair, iiihiiuir.g that the negro must clep upon tho scales twice before tho ring-side wcinging in. Fearful, lest ho bo overweight, Gans worked almost until tho last minute. When ho stopped on the scales he hnd left off a pari of his scanty ring attire.. Nolan quickly observed the omission. Nolan Cruel. "If you aro going Ij fight with nny moro clothes on jou had bo tor pat 'em on," said Noland. "Ah, Hilly," said Joe, in quito a nL-ndinu tone, "why don't voti bo reasonable? You don't want your boy to whip a deed man do you? Why don't you show sorno sportsmanship?" But' Nolan was ir.cxorbnlc. Tho result of that battlo is too well know.: to require more than passing mention. 12-Hound Fight. For 42 rounds, tho boys fought savagely under the blazing Nevada sun, Ganf, owing to his weakened condition, being put to tho severest tost of his lifo to keep the on rush ing from overpowering him. Ho was forced to resort to every trick ho knew, nnd tho exhibition he gave un der tho trying conditions was simp ly marvelous. A few seconds after tho opening of tho final round, Gnus wentdown under a blow that rcferoo Siler held as a foul. Gans was awarded the hat tie. It was his last great fight, how ever. Tho weight had killed him nnd tho Gans that had won the cham pionship from Erno in a round began to fade. When he mado his last bat tle, which was with Jabez White, the Englishman, in New York, March 12 1000, he was only a shndow. The two beati.igs that Nelson gave him m San Francisco in 1008 wero the fin inliintr touches. Horn in ltnltlinorc. Onus was born in Baltimore in 1870 and began fighting at the ago of 10, Ho wao ftibslittitcd for a boy who failed to show up nt u little locnl boxing show in his own city. He whipped two boys that night and hiu reward wao $5, Gans took up boxing because he was inclined to bad health. Ho dig-1 paled such cleverness that he wusj urged to mnko boxing his profession. I Tn 1801 Gans began to show the real j stuff in him, and from that time on until ho fell before Nelson he fought every lightweight that sought a bat tlo with him nnd sometimes he took on the welters. After fighting hi way through the second and third raters, fio challenged Frank Erno Tho champion was then nt his best nnd Gnns was forced to stop in the 12lh round. His eyelid wns almost completely severed and tho blood blinded him so that he could not sec Erno. In their next meeting Gans won in the first round. In Ita Hands. On becoming ehnmpio.i he fell in to bad hands, and for several years ho wns known ns the crookedest man that over stepped between the ropes. His greatest fake fight was that with Terry JfcGovern in Chicago in 1900. Ho had agreed to la3 down for the benefit of a coterio of negro gam blers who made thousands out of the match. Gans tried to quit in the first round, but wns afraid of being mobbed. In the second he kept his promise. From that time until his memorial fnko fight with Jimmy Britt in San Francisco, in 1904 ho participated in a number of crooked fights, allowing hie opponent to stay so that he and his backeis could win the money. His fake with Britt was one of the rawest ever attempted and almost and almost forcing his retirement from tho ring. Fought Honestly. Gans placed himself in better hnnds, however, nnd confessed he had been r. crooked fighter, nnd said that ho would fight honestly and from that time until his last fight he was absolutely on tho level. Gans was quiet and retiring and of a religious turn of miad. nis mo ther hnd hoped that he would becomo a minister, end Gans sometimes ex pressed the wish that he had listened to her advice instead of going into tho ring". Whon the plucky lightweight real ized that ho was in tho grip of consumption ho made peace with his enemies. Even Nolan, who he had har-tcd bitterly, was taken into the fold of friendchip. Gans' one v:ct wa3 gambling. The thousands that he mode in the ring he lost at 'crcp". no retained enough out of his lact fight to build a hotel in Baltimore, but the place is now heavily mortgaged. abovo entitled ostnto In bank ruptcy will rocolvo sealod bids at tho Jackson County bank, In Mcdford, Oregon, up to 12 o'clock noon, of Friday, August 19, 1010, for tho following describod property belonging to said cstato, namoly, a otock of morsurndiso, con sisting principally of Jowolry of tho Inventory valuo of $2987.47, together with a lot of storo fittings S. tho In ventory valuo of $175.50, all now In custody of tho undersigned at Mod- ford, Orogon.
