RUHLIN KNOCKEDUUT
Defeated by Fitzslmmons in
the Sixth Round.
A RIGHT ON THE JAW DID IT
JUiron Giant "Worn Out toy Fearful
Body Blcrns A Fierce and
-' Bloody Battle.
NEW YORK. Aug. 10. Bob Fitzslm
mons, ex-dh&mpion pugilist of the 'world,
met Gus Ruhifn. the Akron Giant, at the
Twrntieth Century Club, Madison-Square
Garden, and Won by knocking: the Ohloan
down and out In the sixth: round. Before
the light and for some weeks past there
have been many reports to the effect
that ritzsiramons was too old to cope
successfully with his younger opponent.
It was argued that Fitzslmmons' well
known laiowledge of the game and his
capability of hard hitting would not be
able to -counterbalance the youth and
strength, ae well as the recently-acquired
ring tactics of the Ohio man. Tonight,
however, all this has been changed. Fitz
fclmmons did the trick cleanly and clev
erly, It was a fierce and bloody battle
while it lasted, and at times it looked
as if RuhHn would get the better of the
older man, but Fitzslmmons, at the proper
time, cut loose with his fearful body
blows, which Anally snuffed out the Ohio
boxer's light.
The betting all along had favored
Fltzsimmona, many wagers at the rate of
100 to EO on "Lanky Bob" being made.
Tonight, however, at the ringside, there
was a flush of Ruhlln money, which
forced the odds in Ruhlin's favor at the
rate of 100 to SO. This state of affairs
did not last long, however, and by the
time the men put -up their hands for the
opening round, they were equal -favorites
at even money.
Fitzslmmons himself conceded about 32
pounds to Ruhlln, and this in itself was
a serious handicap. But, as the result
showed, Fitzsdmmons was equal to- the
task he had tot himself against,, and
won out with that terrible solar plexus
blow, which, whenever it landed,' shook
Gus from head to foot.
From the word "&o" the men started
In with hurrlcane-llke force. Both were
wild at time, but Fitzslmmons was al
ways the quicker to steady himself.
Ruhlln clinched a good deal, and for three
or four rounds was the, aggressor. He
landed some hard straight lefts on Fitz
simmons' faco, and swung his right to
the body and head with fearful force.
Several of these blows staggered Fltz
eimmons, but nono of them landed on
the mark, as Fitzslmmons was too shifty.
At times both mlssfd swings with either
hand, but many of Ruhlin's were dodged
in the cleverest manner. Fitzslmmons
forced Ruhlln to hreak ground, and in
hot mix-ups tho Ohio man was always
the first to oat? up and take refuge in
a clinch. Time and again Fitzslmmons
forced Ruhlln to the ropes, from which
position Ruhlln got away rather clumsily,
while Fitzslmmons was -always very
quick in his foot movements. When Ruh
lln s nose began tp bleed from a. left
punrh the sight of the blood seemed to
have a doterraat effect upon him, and
Fitzslmmons was quick to see this.
On the first slgn of weakness on Ruh
lin's irt, Fitzslmmons began Ills Attack
on the body, and each blow which he
landed there made Gus wince with pain.
Fitzslmmons' handlers kept urging him
to plaj for the solar plexus, but he only
tried it occasionally. Evidently he was
waiting an opportunity for a right swing
3,0 the majk.
In the fourth and fifth rounds both
men showed plainly the effects of the
stiff ad rapid work they had done in
the preceding two rounds;. Both were
tired and leg weary, but Ruhlln showed
up much the 4worse of the two. Fitz
slmmons was always the quicker on his
fet-t at the call of time, but now and
then, during the rounds, he Fecmcd to
stand still and glaro at hds opponent.
Ruhlin at those times s-tood still, being
evidently grateful for the chance of
breathing which Fitzslmmons afforded
him Just once Fitzslmmons touched the
floor, when ho slipped down from a
clinch at the end of a round.
The Knock-Out Blow.
In tho sixth round Ruhlln was slow in
coming to time, -while Fitzslmmons
jumped at his man. Fitzslmmons got
around RuhHn, and, while the-latter sent
straight lefts for Fitzsiminons' head.
Bob side-stepped safely, and landed lefts
nd rights to the head and neck, and,
-with a fearful left on tho solar plexus,
Fitzslmmons sent Ruhlin in a heap to
the floor. This was the beginning of the
end that soon followed. Ruhlln, after
taking nine seconds of tlie count, aroso
to his feet groggy from the effects of the
blow. Fitzslmmons knew he had his man
and was ready for him. As soon as Ruh
lln got up, Fitzslmmons rushed, sending
two lefts to the face and then shot his
right with fearful force to the point of
Ituhlln's jaw. Gus pitched forward, as
If struck with an axe, and fell on his
face to the floor, where he was counted
out, and had to be carried to his corner.
"Wild scenes were then enacted in and
about tho ring It seemed as if every
one in the building wanted to greet the
winner or sympathize with the loser,
and the police had a busy quarter of an
hour getting the people out of the build
ing Fitzslmmons left tho building five
minutes after lie had struck the winning
blow, but it took Ruhlin 12 minutes to
come around so ho could walk to his
drofw'ng-room. -
Fitzslmmons was a little bit dazed
ttlen lie reached his dresing-room. and
asked foiue of those gathered about him
if it was not the 15th round in -which tho
fight was fljrfshed. He soon recovered
his reason and than indulged in a hearty
laugh.
"WcJl." he said. Tm an old fellow
md a has-been, eh? "Well I guess I
-eras good enough for Mr. Ruhlln, and
he was not so bad, cither. That was as
uugh a battle as ever I went through,
but I am still good enough for a few
more Ruhlin is a good one, and with a
little more experience he will about do.
He lilt me some scorching wallops, and.
although 1 did mt realise it at the time,
I can tell jou he can punch a bit. I
wis wrv tired, but the further the bout
wnt, the more positively I felt that I
could finish him. Towards the close Ruh
lln grew weak and I knew I had only
to steady mvself a little in order to get
him. He awv me a good fight, and I can
She him nothing but praise."
Bub s seconds wished him to go to a
bath right away, but he njfusod, saying
hU wife was waiting for him and he
must go home. And, as soon as he got
ius cloth on, he left the building, fol
lowed by an admiring and cheering
crow d. Ruhlin when he readied his dross-ing-rom
was in a sort of trance, and
it. -was a towg time before he fully under
stood that he had been defeated. He
was badb bruised about the head, and
both eye were almost closed. He did
not care to talk, but managed to say:
"I did tk best 1 oould. and no man
can do TOwa. Fitzslmmons whipped me.
and that" in all I can iay about it."
BT'.y Mteddea. Ruhlin's manager, de
clared that Gms" defeat was due to ovrr
tnnmng James J Corbett, who acted as
one of Ruhlin's second, also declared
that Ruhlln was over-trained. "I know
this," be said, "for he was with me dur
ing mv preparations for my bout with
Jeffrie:. After that Gus continued train
ln? for Ms battle with Sharkey, and
worked wn harder after that for his
bout with FitsstmnKMts. I warned him
that ho was doing too much, but he
imagined that he could stand it. Any
biv could see tonight that something
was wmnp with him, as he sent the right
to the Jaw repeatedly, but the necessarj
strength was not behind the blows."
Charlio "White, who refereed tonight's
bout,, said: "It was a hard ,and., fierce
fight.' in which both men fought fairly.
Fitzslmmons -clearly demonstrated that
he 'is noj a has-been and still has the
punch that wins. Ruhlin at times looked
as if he might win out, but he lacks ex
perience, which will be remedied in time
and" I have no doubt that he will be
heard from to a much better advantage
later on."
The Kiffht by Rounds.
Round 1 They met in the center of the
ring, both feinting. Fitz landed a light

Texan Democracy.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10, "W. Jr Bryan will
make no such extended tours of the
country this campaign as he did four
years ago. He will mako a number of
speeches but. they will be In connection
with special occasions and not part of
a general swinging around the country.
Such was determined during the talks
which Mr. Bryan had with the members
of tho executive committee of the Na
tional committee and that was all that
was determined. The membership of
the committee was revised so as to give
New York State a -representation on it.
Committeeman Head, of Tennessee,
withdrew, giving his reason that he had
no time to attend to Its duties, and
Norman E. Mack, National commltteer
man from New York, was named in the
place of .Mr. Head on the executive
committee.
Speaking of his own plans for the cam
paign, as far as they were determined
on, today Mr. Bryan said:
"No regular programme of speeches by
me will be mapped out and no especial
itinerary arranged. I shall mako a few
speeches during the campaign. The times
and dates will be announced from time to
time as th.ey are determined upon. Just
now there Is no announcement of any
kind to make, because ho date has been
fixed or arrangement made. When It
is settled that I am to appear at any
particular place, the announcement will
be made. Then there will be nothing fur
ther to give out Until tho time and
place Is determined upon. Every speech
will be Independent of all others."
Asked if this was meant to Include tho
outing of the Irish Societies hero nxt
Wednesday and that of the trades'unlon
Labor Day, Mr. Bryan said:
"Yes; it is1 not yet decided whether I
shall appear at either or both of- these
occasions."
In response to a question as to his for
mal letter of acceptance of the Demo
cratic nomination Mr. Bryan replied:
"I cannot say now when that letter
will be ready. It is certainly not yet
written."
Mr. Bryan expects to remain here un
til Monday at least and perhaps longer.
Then he will go to Lincoln.

GOODLAND, Kan., Aug. 10. The two
men who held up a Union Pacific pas
senger train near Hugo, Colo.; 'last Sun
day, killing Mr. Fay and plundering tho
passengers, were killed today by a Sher
iff's posse at the Bartholomew ranch,
three miles east of this place. The rob
bers were located in the house on the
ranch In the morning, and the posse lined
up and cut off escape. After a fusillade
between the robbers and ,the .posse, in
which RIggs and Cullens, deputies, were
shot, one of the robbers jumped from a
window and sought to escape, but was
shot to dea'th. The posse then lay siege
to the house in which the remaining

and finally succeeded In setting fire to
the building, which was destroyed, with

The Desperadoes Located.
DENVER, Co!o., Aug. 10. The two men
who robbed a train on the Union Pacific
Railroad near Hugo, Colo.. Sunday morn
ing1 last, were located in a sod house four
miles north of Goodland, Kan., early this
imornlng, by Sheriff Coffee, of that coun
ty. The men were suspected of being
the robbers, and their Identity was clear
ly established by the. fierce resistance
which they offered upon the approach of
the posse. They had horses which had
evidently been ridden down, and they took
refuge in the honse They opened fire as
soon as th6 posse approached.
One of the robbers made- a break to
get away, and a running fire resulted. He
fatally wounded two of the posse and
seriously wounded a third, and was him
self killed. His body Is now' In the pos
session of the posse. George Cullens, one
of the posse, and D.'C. Rlggs, proprietor
of a hotel at Goodland, who was also
with the posse were wounded. The
name of ' tho third member of
tho posse who was shot has not
yet beenj learned. C. E. Clledson, an
englneerwho 'was with the posse, was
the one who killed the jobber.
The other robber is fortified in the dug
out. He seems to be abundantly supplied
with ammunition, and has continued the
battle. At last reports the posse was still
exchanging shots with him In an effort to

A SYRIAN EMBEZZLER.
Oriental Romance In an Occidental
Setting.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10. An Oriental ro
mance in an Occidental setting was re
vealed when detectives from the Central
Police Station arrested Oadle Herro, a
Syrian, charging him with embezzling
several thousand dollars' worth of Jew
elry. The complainant is a jewelry firm
In this city where Herro was employed as
a salesman In the Asiatic mall order de
partment. The young man confessed hl3
guilt and attributed his wrong desire
to amass enough wealth to marry one of
his countrywomen.
Herro told the police that he had been
in this country six years. He was born
in Damascus and on arriving in New
York he obtained a position as an
agent for an Oriental jewelry house.
Later he came to the Chicago firm and
had sole charge of the trade with the
Orient and conducted the correspondenpe
in Syrian and Arabic. As no other mem
ber of the house understood these tongues,
Herro was never Interfered with and his
books were seldom looked at.
The young foreigner was made to ac
company the officers to his apartments,
where many of the missing jewels were
found, and also crucibles and chemist's
lamps used by him In melting up his
plunder. There was a score of watch
movements bereft of their cases and a
jewelry case was half filled with brace
lets and rings.

THE HALL OF FAME.
Three Thousand Tfames Already
Sent In.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. The names of
distinguished men and women whose ad
mirers are anxious to secure a niche for
them in the Pantheon, or Hall of Fame,
are still coming In, and the list now in
cludes over 3000 names. The senate of
the New York University, to whom the
names are sent from all over the coun
try, has just submitted to each of the
Judges a list of 234 names. Others are ac
cumulating for disposition later.
The work of the Judges Is no slncecure,
for they are expected to select just 100
who shall occupy the places of honor.
Of the thousands of names sent In dur
ing the past few months, 100 were culled
by the senate as a whole and a second
100 names were submitted by private In
dividuals of note and seconded by mem
bers of the senate. Each of tho other
34 names was submitted by one or more
of the judges, they having been Invited
to contribute their choice.
John S. Billings, one of the resident
judges, said In an Interview:
"Not much Is expected to be done In
that direction until about the middle of
September, when the work of the judges
and all thoso directly Interested In this
great undertaking will be pushed with
vigor. I have not even looked at the
revised list of names as yet, and am hot
yet prepared to make any comment."
The final vote Is expected to be sub
mitted by the committee of judges by
October 1, so that the month of Septem
ber must necessarily be a busy one for
those chosen to make this Initial selec
tion. It Is not yet settled whether there
shall bo a meeting of all the judges, who
represent every section of the country,
but it is generally believed that such a
meeting will be held Just before the final
vote is taken.
Neely Still Held.
NEW YORK. Aug. 10. John D. Lindsay,
counsel for Charles F. W. Neely, who is
accused of the embezzlement of Cuban
postal funds, and against whom .there
have been proceedings for extradition to
Cuba, said today that he had made ap
plication to Judge Wallace, of the, United
States Court, located at Albany, for a
writ of habeas corpus for Neely. This,
Mr. Lindsay says, Judge Wallace had de
nied. "Judge Wallace did, however," said Mr.
Lindsay, "allow an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, and Issued an
order directing the Marshal to keep Neely
here pending the appeal."
Mr. Lindsay explained that the Supreme
Court does not meet until next October,
when, he said, the appeal would be ar
zued. "Wo have simply raised a Constitutional
question," said Mr. Lindsay.
