The end came shortly after the be ginning of the tenth round, when Jef fries planted one of -his terrific left swings on Corbett's stomach. The man who conquered John L. Sullivan drop ped to the floor in agony and the mem orable scene at Carson City, when Bob Fitzsimmons landed his solar plexus blow, was almost duplicated. This time, however, Corbett strugled to his feet and again faced his gigantic adversary.

LA CROSSE, Wis., Aug. 14.—That the last wish of her mother might be obeyed before her body was laid away in its last repose, Miss Agnes Lien, the pretty daughter of C. L.

Two days ago, when it was realized that Mrs. Lien was dying, Mr. Sarles was telegraphed for at the request of the dying woman, that her daughter might be married before she died. He HORSE THIEF TRAVELS FAR BY RELAYS Changes a Jaded Stolen Horse for An other and Is Caught at Winona. Special to The Globe. WINONA, Minn., Aug. 14.—A horgfi thief who stole and traveled by relays from Rochester to Winona was captur ed in this city today by Officer Kling, of the local police force. He says his name is John Johnson, and that his home is in New Ulm. After his arrest he made a full confession, and will be taken back to Rochester fof trial. Johnson stole a valuable pacer at Rochester last night. The animal was attached to a light buckboard. John son took the animal and started for Winona. When he arrived near St. Charles he found that his horse could not go much farther, and decided to exchange the Jaded animal for one that was fresh. He went to the barn of the nearest farmer and took a horse from the stall. He then turned the pacer loose and hitched the new horse to the buckboard and continued on his way. When it became light enough to see plainly Johnson found that the animal he now had was a branded broncho, which would be very easily identified. However, he hurried into Winona, and was endeavoring to sell the horse when he was arrested. The local police had been notified of the theft of the pacer at Rochester, but the horse qaptured here did not correspond with its description. The use of the Rochester telephone brought the news that a second horse had been stolen bearing the brand "H. S." This description tallied and the rest was easy. MR.

Jim dropped to the floor and then it was that Tommy Ryan, seeing that it was all over, motioned to Rereee Graney to stop the punishment. The fight tonight demonstrated be-' yond all doubt that Jeffries stands alone in his class. He showed remark- , able improvement in both speed and! skill. Coibett, during the first part of. the fight, was almost outpointed and the few blows that he landed on Jef fries were apparently .without sting. Jeffries was never in better condi tion. He looked lighter than usual and the way he moved on his feet and the frequency with which he countered Corbett's leads astonished everybody. Corbett, in comparison with the big man opposed to him. looked very light, but was really heavier than ever be- | fore. He appeared to have lost some of his old-time speed and skill during the early part of the fight, but this may have been due to Jeffries' mar velous improvement. Corbett's physical condition appear ed to be all that he had claimed for it. He stood many of Jeffries' terrific blows without wfneing and came back swinging lefts and rights and landing frequently, but his blows hardly stung Jeffries. Jeffries was not only stronger, faster, and cleverer than ever before, but he used his head to better purpose, and al- . though Corbett would hit him hard enough to hurt an ordinary man, Jef- \ fries would bore right in without no- '• 1 ticing the blows and would deliver telling hits that materially helped in deciding the result of the fight. At first Corbett was very cautious and apparently was outpointed by Jeffries, but later in the fight he warm- : ed up and showed some of his old-time cleverness. From the first, however, it was gen i erally regarded as a hopeless case for Corbett. He made a gallant fight, but' he never stood a show to win. After the fight was over Corbett quickly recovered, walked over to Jef fries and shok him warmly by the hand. He said : "Jim, you beat me fairly. You stand alone. No one can touch you." Referee Eddie Graney said after the Continued on Fifth Page. boarded a fast train and reached this city at 12:20 yesterday afternoon.

Today the dressmaker returned tho* handsome gown in which Mrs. Lien was to have attended her daughter's wed ding.

Mrs. Lien will be buried to morrow. BANK SUSPENDS AT WEST DULUTH Merchants Bank Is Victim of Run Caused by Duluth Failure.
