HEILB0RN SON Astoria's Leading House-furnishers ore In his fight with Muller. The stocky little fellow roughed up mnt- ater with Muller, whose science was just about an offset to Smith's great strength. Right at the jump the men were at each other, and soon both were bleeding at the nose and mouth. Smith depended 'on wild swing, while Muller kept Jabbing thestrangler In the mouth. Smith landed some terrific body blows, but was unable to land effectively enough to put out his opponent. He took a severe hammering about the head without once even wincing and gave as good as he received. , Toward the end of the bout, which lasted 20 roundsf he rushed Muller, and through out the contest did most of the fight ing. Muller was unable to land a knockout blow, and for a time seemed to be In distress. However, lie was In good shape at the finish. There was some question as to whether or not the fight should go on until a decision could be reached, but the crowd .was satisfied with the fast mill and the affair was called a draw. With Mul ler' science Smith would. In the opin ion of lovers of the fistic art, prove a formidable competitor for pugilistic honors. Two country resident living at Knappa ami Kern HIM. a few miles cant of , Astoria, lust night Tougnt a battle to the death. One of the men was armed with a shotgun, while the other uned a revolver. The one I shot In the abdomen and probably will die, while the other hn two bullets In the leg. The fiitully Injured man was brought to the city last night and taken to St. Mary's hospital. The principal in the affray were John Adamn".f Knappa and Jame D Brewer of Kern Hill. With their wive they had been at the regatta and last night returned t Fern Hill on the Portland express. Mr. and Mr. Adams were visiting with Mr. and Mr. Brew er. Both men had been drinking, and If the rambling statement thus far made can oe accepted an iwiwi me ijuarrel wan the result of drunken threat. It In also averred tne domes tic relations of the two couple were more or less questionable. Adams and Brewer are logger. Arriving at Kern Hill the men start ed for the Brewer home, and, on the way got Into the dlwusslon which ter minated In the shooting. Brewer states that he and Adam were dis cussing the character of a woman who lives In the Nehaem valley and that this was what brought about the quar rel. Adums was armed, but Brewer was not. It is stated by Mrs. Adams that Brewer said he would go home, get a gun and kill the first man' he met. Evidently Adams regarded this a a threat upon his life, for he did not go to the house, but remained In the brush. When Brewer emerged from the house Adams opened Are with his revolver. The ball took effect In Brewer's leg, neur the groin. Brewer carried a shotgun and tried to shoot Adams, but the shell did not explode. Then Adams fired again, the bullet this Ime taking effect In Brewer's knee. Brew er again tried to shoot, but again the shell failed to explode. Remarking that he hoped he would finally find a shell that would go off. he reloaded his gun and fired Into the brush. Adams fell forward, the charge having taken effect In his abdomen. The shooting occurred between Fern Hill and the John Day tunnel. Adams was very badly wounded and when the night train came along he was brought to the city. Dr. Fulton was called. He stated last night that Adams was probably fatally Injured. Mrs. Adams accompanied her husband to the city. Brewer remained at Fern Hill and Dr. Tuttle will attend htm. He Is employed by W. E.
