Fitzsimmons' Ingratitude
There is no doubt now but Bob
Fitzsimmons has deserted his
former manager and trainer, Jim

the Australian will lose him many
admirers, lie came to America

has in one bound risen from ob
scurity to the front rank of fight
ers, lie toured Australia for $20
a week and expenses ; he tours
America for $500 a week and ex
penses. All this, in a great meas
ure, is due to the good manage
ment and careful looking after by
Jimmie Carroll, who is of a differ
ent clay from the ungrateful con
queror of Jack Dempsey. fitz

managerial banner of Otto Floto,

New York, Feb. 18. A letter
from Havana, Cuba, tfives an ac
count of cold-blooded mnrder by
the Cuban government on the 7th
inst F6ur men, it is said, were
shot down in cold blood, and a
young wife, who was attending to
her baby, was mortally wounded.
Some weeks ago Manuel Garcia, a
police officer, captured a band of
robbers, whose leader was Do
mingo Montelongo. After the cap
ture Montelongo was approached
by a representative of the govern
ment, who told him if he and his
friends would leave the country
the government would .see that
they ran no risk in doing so, and
would only be too glad .to have
them go. They finally consented
and were taken aboard a ship. As
Montelongo entered the cabin, he
saw through the half-open ooor
the uniform of a gendarme and a
glittering pistol. He immediately
turned to his carapanions and
shouted: "We are sold! The
police!" At this cry the police
opened fire and a desrerate strug
gle began. Perico Rivero fell,
riddled by more than a dozen
bulletts. Juan Rojo had nothing
but a dagger, yet he did some des
perate fighting, but was soon
overpowered and killed by bullets
Irom the revolvers ot the police.
Mrs. Rivero, who was nursing her
baby, rushed out of the cabin and
was severely beaten by one of the
officers till she dropped to the
floor insensible.
Gendarmes finally drove the rest
of the party on deck and continued
their hi ing, frightening the other
passengers and wounding several.
Montelongo and Eulogi Rivero
dropped oyer the side of the ves
sel, jumped into a small row boat
and compelled the owner to row
away. When the police saw the
attempt to escape, they sent a
shower of bullets into the little
boat and lulled both bandits.

ALMOST A KNOCKOUT. -
An Attack Made Upon a Portland
Detective In Tacoma.
Tacoma, Feb. 18. M. C. Sulli
van, manager of Thiel'a detective
service, while sitting at a table in
the lobby ot the lacoraa hotel last
night, was approached by Mark
Wilson, proprietor of the Paragon
saloon, of this city, and an ex
conductor on t.ie Northern Pacific
railroad, who asked Sullivan a
question, the purport of which is
unknown. Sullivan answered.
rhe words had scarcely passed his
lips when Wilaon struck him a
heavy blow under the right eye,
tollowing up the advantage with
two blows in the face in rapid
succession. The men clinched
and rolled on the floor, no attempt
being made to separate them.
Finally several employes of the
hotel rushed in and parted the
combatants. Great excitement
prevailed at the time. Sullivan
was all but knocked out, but man
aged to strike Wilson a severe
blow in the mouth. His eye was
blacked and his face badly
bruised. The attack is said to
have been instigated by an old
grudge. Sullivan had no opportu
