I have fought my last fight Corbett rccelved many telegrams from eastern friends, principally theatrical, of- fering him lucrative engagements, win or lose. Ten Thousand See MIlL Ten thousand persons were seated about the arena, representing an expenditure for peating accommodations aggregating $54,- 000. This is the largest crowd that ever assembled at a ringside in this country ‘and the third largest sum in dollars and eents ever contested for. The two that ex- eceoded It in receipts were the Corbett- Jeftries fight at Coney Island, $66,000, and the Corbett-McCoy fight at Madison Square Garden, New York, $63,000. The scene about the big pavillon from & p. m. until the men stepped into the ring was one of confusion. The gallery ticket "holders formed in line on Pacific, Larkin and Grove streets in three 1ong rows, and, although there was much crowding and many scrimmages in the effort to gain +admittance, 100 policemen kept perfect or- der until the doors opened. The pavillon ticket holders were more leisurely in claim- ng their seats. Not until § were the chalrs, boxes and benches full. About the ring were many who have at- tended every pugilistic encounter during the last decade. Among these were Parson Davies, George BSiler, Harry Houghton, W. W. Naughton and Harry Thaw. On the south slde of the arena more than 600 Jeffries admirers from Los Angeles sat in a group. Offclal Ban Francisco was also largely represented. Bench and bar, coun- ofl and supervisors, in fact, every branch _of the executive administration were at “the ringside. There was less trouble In handling the big crowd than has been experienced on similar oceasions. At 9 Palice Captain Mooney entered the ring and told Billy Jordan to announce that the contest would ot start till all ticket holders were seated. His announcement was greeted with cheers ‘and the few still standing found their places and were quickly seated. Preliminaries Both Draws, The preliminaries, the first a six-round draw between Frank Smith of Los Angeles ;and Jack Sheridan of San Rafael, and an- other of like length between Jack Evans and Jerry Fairbanks, kept the crowd in- terested till 9:16, the time set for the cham. plonship mill. The ring looked large compared with the enclosures used heretofore/in this city. In pursuance to an understanding between the men it was made the regulation twenty-four foot ring. Heretofore twenty-foot rings have been the rule. At 8 o'clock the betting at Harry Cor- bett's resort was 2 to 1, with much Corbett money In sight. There was no big betting on the result, but some good wagers were placed. The most popular bet was even money that Carbett would stay twelve |rounds. Crowd Grows Restless. When the first preliminary was ended all eyes turned toward the entrance to the dressing rooms of the principals. The crowd became restiess and amused itself with calls for the two men, for the referee and other ring celebrities, At 9:15 the crowd rose enmasse as Cham- plon Jeffries walked down the long aisle and vaulted through the ropes. He was greeted with great cheers, which, however, seemed insignificant half a minute later when Jim Corbett followed him. Jeftries wore black half-length tights, ith a belt made of the American flag. e wore no bandages. Corbett had on a fong flannel dressing gown. He, too, had no bandages on his hands. Corbett walked across to Jeftries and shook him cordially by the hand. Bob Fitzsimmons, wearing patent leather shoes, dark trousers and a negligee shirt, strolled about the ring. Corbett was introduced first and pecelved & great ovation. Jeftries was equally well recelved a moment later when he was in- troduced as the champlon of the world The seconds: For Jeffries, Bob Fitzsim- mons, Jack Jeftries, Joe Kennedy and Billy Delaney. For Corbett: Tommy Ryan, Sam Berger, Yank Kennedy and Bob Dare. Mossages were received from Jack Mon- ree and Jack Johnson, challenging the win- ner. Corbett We Bandages. Corbett then proceeded to have his hands wrapped with soft bandages, but it was remarked that Jeffries did not follow suit. Jeftries walked over and examined Cor- bett's bandages at the suggestion of Fitz- simmons, The two Jims argued good- naturedly over the material used, Corbett taking a plece and showing it was soft and pliable. Jeffries nodded assent and walked back to his corner. Corbett removed his bath robes and dis- cloged a simple black loin supporter. Jeftries took the southwest and Corbett the northeast corner. As they were donning the gloves they presented a striking con- trast of form. Jeftries, big, muscular, stolld and dark as an Indian, was a strik- ing contrast with the lithe, trim-built Cor- bett, with flesh as smooth and firm as Parlan marble. Corbett seemed a trifle pale, but composed. Tommy Ryan leaned over the ropes and remarked to a friend that Jeftries was as soft as mud and would certainly lose his title, ‘The men then lined up for a photograph in fighting attitude. Jeffries removed the American flag from his waist and Billy Delaney put it in his pocket. The two men then shook hands and the big mill started.

LOCAL INTEREST Kept Busy and Newspaper Telephon: Crowds Collect at Sporting Resorts, The newspaper offices were early aware of the fact that there were a large number of people In Omaha who took an interest in the big fight. Early in the evening the telephone bell commenced ringing and news from the fight was eagerly Inquired for. That the Intgrest was more than pass- ing was evidenced by the fact that, though the fight did not start until near midnight, Omaha time, the calls became more nu- merous as the evening progressed and as the time drew near it kept one man busy answering the calls. Some evidently awoke from thelr slumbers and suddenly remem- bered they had not heard from the con- test and immediately rushed to the tele- phone. These calls continued untll the late hours end some of the early risers were also too anxigus to walt for the delivery of the morning papers. A great deal of interest was manifested by the local lovers of the game and wher- ever the returns were recelved there a large crowd was congrégated to hear the latest news. While almost everyone seemed to think Jeffries was sure to win, still when it looked at varfous stages of the fight that Corbett had slightly the bet- ter end of the running a lusty cheer went up for the former champlon. Bympathy of the crowds generally seemed to be with him. There were many arguments engaged in as the fight progressed and one at least wound up by the participants assuming the position of the heavyweights which the argument was about. They were promptly sepatated, however, by thefr triends and the crowd, which had parted for an instant to allow them to decide dif- ferences, surged back and the incident was closed. The betting was very dull all day yes- terday. The largest bet announced was one of $50 to $100. A large number of small bets were taken by the pool rooms, who were forced to assume the Corbett end of the betting at 3 to 5 to bring out any money at all. While the pool rooms of- fered § to b on Corbett In the evening and nearly all outsiders seemed to be favoring Jeffries, there were very few takers. While the general opinion prevailed that Jeftri would win, there seemed to be very few who were willing to carry the heavy end and back their judgment with money. Quite & number of wagers were made re- garding the number of rounds the contest would last, the number of rounds agreed upon ranging all the way from five to the limit, twenty. Almost all of these bets were made at even money. After the be- ginning of the contest the pool rooms took the Jeftries end of the betting and a tempted to get some money up at 10 to 6 on the winner, but there were practically no takers, and after the announcement of the result of the third roynd the attempt was given up.’ One Individual who is sup- posed to be posted in such matters sald that the odds were too'great and that with the interest manifested in the fight if the odds could have been placed at 4 to b there would have been many large bets recorded and the small bets would have been almost unlimited.

' LICKERT BRINGS DOWN HIS MAN Fleeing Can Rusher Stops Run ‘Whe: Shot Thr h the Arm., Police Officer Lickert proved his profi- clency as & marksman last night by shoot- ing Bdward Cushing, who lives at 84 South Seventeenth street, thraugh the fore- arm at a distance of about 100 feet. Shortly after midnight someone living in the nelghborhood of Féurteenth and Leav- enworth streets telephoned the station that there was a crowd gn the sidewalk in that locality rushing thé can and making the night hideous by using loud and obscene language. Detectives Drummy and Mad- sen were gent out to bring them in. When they arrived on the scene they found four men and two women. As théy appi ed the group three of the men took to their heels and tried to get away. Two of them were captured by the detectlves, but one, who ran east on Leavenworth street, could not be overtaken. Bergeant Sigwart came along about the time the two men were captured and one of them was turned over to him, while Detective Madsen went atter the other. The detective called to, him to stop, but he kept on going. Officer Lickert was patrolling his beat on Leavenworth street and Cushing passed him on the oppo- site sjde of the street. Madsen called to the officer to stop the man and Lickert called to him twice to stop. When he kept going the officer brought his artillery into play and at the first shot Cushing fell. He laid still until the officer reached him. The whale crowd, consisting of Mrs. Lillie Haskell, Mrs. Dollie Benson, Clifford Free- man, living at 817 Leavenworth street; Wil- llam Metz, 1608 Marcy street; Edward Gray, 1508 Marcy street, and the wounded man, were taken to the station in the patrol wagon.

MAY BECOME PART OF THE MOB Says the Greater the Olamor, t Greater Care Should Exe ercise In Declding Guilt or In< nocence of Accused. Courts CHAUTAUQUA, N, Y., Aug. 14—The ais- cussion of mob law and lynching was con- tinued here today by Chlet Justice Lore of Delaware. His subject was “The Rela- tion of the Law to the Manifestation of the Mob Spirit.” Justice Lore, summarizing the effect of mob rule, sald it brutalized the individual man, destroyed free government and in- creased crime. Continuing, he said: What Is the remedy? What is the curé for mobs? Most emphatically we say, the remedy is not in hasty and feverish action of courts of justice against the criminal whose offense is the exciting cause, Law has its highest function in throwing its shield of prmenllon before the ignorant, the weak and the helpless, and was spe- clally designed as a_barrier against tem- porary madness. The more brutal the crime, the more degraded and ignorant t criminal, the more widespread and tense the pubfic rage, the more imparative it s that eourll of justice should hear falr, ealm and quiet’ hearing and the proof of orime be established, otherwise innocent men may convicted for a crime they did not commit, as in the recent l\m‘hln{ of & negro in the south, when it was foun after his life had been taken, that he had not been within twenty miles of the scene of the outrage. Duty of the Courts. When mob spirit rules, courts of justice should be \In)le|dln( in their stand for fair dealing, otherwise they simply become the mob and vendors of vengeance and not of Justice. The judges of Delaware have no apology to make for not listening to suggestions of mob vengeance in the case of George White. One cure for mob law unquestionably is the fearless defense of the sccused by his keeper. Qutside of violence, the remedy, in my iudmenl is that the people shall be ta: e n season’ and out of season that our safety as a people lies in implicit obedience to the This should be taught in our public hools, by the press, by the pulpit and on the forum. Apurchy’ turks under the pleasing gart of liberty, and the assassin clothes himself as a defender of human rights. Lawless- ness {s our danger. Reverence of the and obedience to its mandates is our & ng, masterful sentiment of such oicalence [o law 18 & sure cure for mote. 1 believe with United States Judge David Brewer “that there is going to be a reaction against the atroclous crime with which the papers have been filled.” The fact that the peopla are now interesting themselves in ho dfscussion of this problem makes manifest that there is a tendency toward a change. I expect it will come soon. NEAPOLITANS IN A PANIC Continues to Erupt and Populace to Orowd Churches, Vesuv!
