CHAMPION BADLY PUNISHED.
At First It Looked as If Fitzsimmons
Would Be the Next Winner, and the
Result Was a Surprise to All—Brief
but Noteworthy Battle.
San Francisco. July 26. —After light

hatll< scarred veteran of the ring
w! a he had sufficiently recovered to
walk.
"The fight was won fairly, and to
the best man belongs the laurels.”
Yon are the most dangerous man
alive,” said Jeffries in return, “and
I consider myself lucky to have won
when I did.”
Fitzsimmons had been fighting at a
furious gate, cool and deliberate, and
chopping the champion to pieces with
the terrific rights and lefts that have
made him famous, and the result was
a surprise.
It was the draught horse and the
racer from the tap of the gong. When
the men came together Fitz appeared
rather worried, hut upon opening of
the first round he assumed a confi

As early as the second round Fitz

that Jeffries could scarcely stand the

But the eighth round came, and af

and spoke to the champion. The lat

his defeat with good cheer. He walk

Three Killed During Terrific Thunder
storm at Pittsburg.

der and lightning storm, with a heavy
rain, visited this section last evening,
causing three deaths and much proper
ty damage. The killed are:
Mrs. Kate Walsh.
Francisco Imperatora.

Mrs. Walsh died from shock caused
by lightning. The two Italians were
of a gang of 90 working at Unity.
When the storm broke in its fierceness,
the men sought shelter under some
trees near by. Lightning struck one
of the big oaks and the two men were
killed instantly. Five others of their
fellow workmen were severely in
jured, but will recover.
Throughout the city and suburbs the
storm inflicted considerable damage
in the way of flooding sewers, cellars,
etc.
In Hazlewood, the Presbyterian
church was struck by lightning arid
the steeple thrown over, but no one
was injured.
At Hays Station Streets run over

lage. Quite a number of the residents
had to flee for their lives, so quickly
did the rise come. So far as known
all escaped injury.
The storm seemed to expend its fury
in this immediate vicinity, and trav
eled eastward with much lessened in
tensity. It is safe to say that 25
buildings—residences, stables and our.
houses —were struck by lightning dur
ing the 25 minutes the storm prevailed.

and the fruit men say they are the
finest that were ever grown in the j
state. The crop is not so large as it
has been in years previous, but the
fruit is larger and of a finer flavor. '
There are about 25 fruit buyers here, }
representing the various markets, and
they pronounce it very fine, and they!
are all eager to get possession of it. \
Seven cars were shipped today, be- \
sides individual shipments, which go
by express to the state markets, and 1
the prices being paid are very satis- j
factory to the fruit growers. It lei
now estimated that about 50 cars will
be shipped from this immediate com-;
munity. V. O. Mashburn and Messrs. 1
Stafford & Howard are the largest fruit
growers but there are quite a
number of smaller ones, all of whom
will realize a handsome profit on thier
peaches. The gathering and shipping
of peaches will be the order of the day
for some days to come in and around
Barnesville.
