BLOODHOUNDS ON
TRAIL OF MURDERER
COLFAX, Wash., Aug. 10.- An
unknown man, wanted in connection
with the killing of Del McConncll in
this city last July -1, is surrounded
by poises from three Idnho counties
at Hmida, Idaho. The man is well
armed.
Bloodhounds reached tho scene
from the Walla Walla penitentiary
during the night and tho actual pur
suit of the man began' at daylight.
The bloodhounds will not ho used un
less the mini succeeds in breaking
through tho lines. Suspicion was
attracted to tho man by statements
made by him recently concerning
McCounell's death.
GRASS AND BRUSH
FIRE CAUSES ALARM
A fire in the old Whitman orchard.
Miiith of town, which is being clear
ed for the pnrpoHo of cutting it up
into residence tracts, caused tho de
partment to make n long run Monday
afternoon. The flames started in
the long grass which had been per
mit led to grow fu this neglected or
chard and wero spreading rapidly
toward the residence Mcotinu of that
part of town when chucked by the
firemen. 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.
JOE 6ANS TAKES
HIS FINAL COUNT
(Continued from Page 1.)
ooM.fiilly defended In titlo against
scores of fighieru from tho litno he
won it from Frank Ertio i. 1002 un
til bin Hocond encounter with Nelson
July 4 1008.
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.
