tier, Europe'B "best of the century,
lost one of the sorriest exhibitions of
fighting .ever .Been in any ring today.
Buttling Sikl, the Senegaleso heavy weight,
knocked him out in the sixth
round of a siugfest punctuated by
fouls, but altogether lacking in science
His nose brokon, his eye closed and
his face covered with blood, "Gorgues
Georges" had to bo carried froiw tho
ring, but it took the Judges another

In tho sixth round of their Bchedul
ed twenty-round bout Cnrpentier went
down under a hall of vicious rights
from the big Negro. As ho foil his legs
slipped between those of Sikh, and the
roforeo declared the whfto man had
won bocuuse tho black tripped htm.
CltOWD STORMS RING.

Shouting with rage tho crowd storm
oil (ho ring and after an hour's consul
tatlon the judges' reversed the rot'eree'a
decision thus creating a new lightheavyweight
champion of Europe. I..at
or it was announced Siki will chailongo
Jack Dempsoy.
GoorgcB entered (he ring a lieav> ;
favorite and still tho idol of Franco, j
Before tho end of tho fourth round theJ
idol had fallen, literally and figura? |
(ively. Floored for a count in the ;
third, his later attempts to foul were .
greeted with jeers and curses from
his followers. Knocked out In ttio j
sixth, Lo was carried away with the
hoots, catcalls and whistlling of SO,000
of his countrymen ringing in his ears.!
while his grinning conqueror was
hoisted high on (he shoulders of now
found admirers. f
Tho Buffalo Stadium was packcd
when Siki entered he ring. He got a
cordial, sympathetic reception, for
everv 0110 knew Georces had onlv con
seated to interrupt his cinema activities
because he wanted to end tbe "im
pudent" aspirations of the Negro. ,
BOUNDS INTO RING. ,
"Poor fellow!" was the crowd's early
attitude, "Georges will kill him* \viCU
that right." And thero was no betting.
While these kindly persons weru
mentally measuring the Senegalese
for his coffin, Gorgeous Georges bound
cd into the ring, beaming, slinking his
hands blithely above his licad, smiling
his lovely white-toothed smile to
his Parisian friends and dressed in
silk and satin just as ho was at Jersey
City.
Hut the throng did not rise too well
to his infectious personality. True, he,
got a big hand, but many were silent,
remember in gthat Carpentier has
fought little in Prance and seldom for
charily.
As the gong sounded, the specta '
lors settled back to watch a short In
structive boxing lesson given by Prof.
Carpentier. Even Siki seemed to fee.
he was in for a bad beating; ho had
not even trained systematically for
the match.
Both men seemed to bo in excellent
condition, however, although Georges
wns a bit thin and palo. His black op
ponent was a picture of power, bis
muscles rippling under tbo ebony skin
In thrco years of fighting ho has only
been beaten once, but has merely
learned the roputation of being unhurt
able and unskilful.
Apparently knowing that he was ui
against a heavier hitter than ho has
yot encountered, Siki came out of his
cornor quickly but cautiously. All
through the first round ho hardly
tried to hit Georges, and his own
clumsy defense was easily penotratcd.
During tho first two rounds Carpen
tier repeatedly landed his "terrible
right" on Slkl's jaw but tho Negro did
not seem to be even Jarred by Eur

Dut In the third the Negro suddenly
seemed to realize that he had noth

contest, with S1ki having the better
of every exchange. Both an en took

Carpentier's skill could not buvg off
quick defeat.
In tho fourth Georges was hatteren
unmercifully as the Senegaleso became
more and more confident. Thu

Although Georges Carpentier insluth
ho wants to revenge his defeat at th?
hands of Battling Siki as soon as the
injuries received in yestorday's bout
ire healed, the consensus of opinicn
here is that the Frenchman's fighting
days are over. In fact his closest
friends acting on a tip th!at he had d<*
cjded in advance to abandon tho
match boforo it was half over, reaped
ed small fortunqs by betting against

In company with Mr. W. C. Scott,
(ho notod tonsorlal artist of this city
I wont down tho llivor Road Sunday
Soptcmhof 2 11h? at about 1 o'clock.
1 remembered that a gruosomo tragedy
had taken place in that neighborhood
tho week before. Wo had,
noai-ly roach od St. James Church and
was told that we wore s'x miles from
Richmond. A colored boy riding a
bicycle looked at tho car and inquired
if it was a Stanley Steamer,
lie had heard, of thr? ear ami i>?'i
seon lit at a distance. I asked him
about tho killings.
"You have pasved tho place," ho
said. "It is about a mile and a half
from hero. You wKl ?eo houses and
right off from tho road is whore it
happened. , ?
THAT WHITE HOUSE*.
Another inquiry and a white resident
told us just whore to go. Thon
wo reached tho scttlemelit and, tho
colored folks pointed out the iittlo
hvhito house off from the toad to mo.
Mr. Scott did not care to leave tho
car. So I vaulted out, leaving him
in tho car in tho roadway. A rosidont
informed mo that 1 would, iln'd
tho sistor of Willi? Olaytoji, who did
tho killing, at the "house. 1 walkod
up to tho house and a girl, sixteon
years of ago, she said, nvjth hor baby
In her arms, caino to Uks door which
was open.
THE DOG AND THE CHICKENS.
She did not ask ine uny name. Slio
d4id not 'Inquire as to my business.
I was looking at a tliroo room, ono
story cottage, painted -whito. I was
ai uio Kitcnon u,oor, wliile my clog,
Mutt, proooedcfl to charge tho chickens
in tho yard, much to my chagrin
and annoyance. That dog would
stop when ordered hut you had to
keop on ordering, for tho flutter of
a chicken seemed to exert an irresistfblo
influence upon that dog.
TH.E SISTER'S STORY.
I learned the following story.
. "My name is Etta Clayton. I am
sixteon years old,. Yos, this is my
huhy. IMy brother's three children
are here. His name is Willie lCdward
Clayton. IIo and his wifo hail
a disagreement last Monday morning.
I Pis wifo left hero and cnmo
hack that ovening and got her three
children.
THAT FATAL NIGHT.
"On Tuesday night 'between 2 and
3 o'clock some one came to the front
d(oor. My "brother and I wope in bed.
I iwent from my room to his room
and waked h,*m. When ho went to
tho door, these people rusliod in.
The place belongs to my father. in
tho party were Gertrude Clayton,
Willie Edward Clayton's wifo; Malinda
Carter, his wife's aunt; Albert
Brown,, his wife's fathor and his
wife's mother. His wife brought
her three cliMdron with her and they
came in an automobile.
ALL, ANGRY.
"Thoy sa.id they were going to
beat my brother and; they throatenod
to kill him. Ho grabbed a gun from
boh hid tho door and bo shot his wifo.
lior father and her aunt, killing
them. He has Mr. Gunn as his
counsol."
I had been able by threats to keep
that dog, Mutt, quiet long enough
to get that statement. I told this
child-mot'lior, who I was and then
wandered back to the Stanley Steam
Car fn the roadway.
A BLOW-OUT.
i nua ruiicaoa iviaui street, in
front of Robert C. Scott'a undertaking

tho "sparo" with tho assistance of
tho two Mr. Scotts and Mr. R. C
Scott's emiplcyoe. Funoral Director
Scott had buried tho victims of the
tragedy at Charles City, just 35 miles
away. Two of them, ho said, wer<
Bhot tin tho back and one through tho
lungs. There were Ave shots and a
double-barrelled shot-gun had boon
usod to do the killing. Tliis showed
that ho had to re-load tho shot-gun
to do tho work.

in tho yard, but it was said to belong
