At PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Jack Dempsey Fights His Last Battle on Earth, VANQUISHED BY DEATH. The End Comes Peacefully After a Night of Terrible Suffering, HIS RECORD IN THE RING. Victorious in Over Three Score and Ten Contests Within the Roped Arena. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 1.—Jack Demp- sey, the hero of more than three-score and ten battles in the prize-ring, fought his last round this morning with his final ad- and most courageous man who ever fought in a ring. Jack Dempsey’s career was an uninter- rupted line of victories up to the day he met La Blanche, the Marine, in the rooms | of the California Athletic Club in this City. He never refused a battle from men | in his class when his opponent could get backing or a purse was hung up, and his | winnings amounted to hundreds of thou- | sands of dollars. | His first important fight was with | Johnny Reagan, whom he defeated in forty-four rounds. Following that he beat a number of men who were in the front rank at that time, among them George La Blanche, who administered his | first defeat ycars later. | On nis first trip to this coast Dempsey met and defeated a number of local men, including Tom Barry, Tom Cleary, Jim Carr and others. A twenty-round bout with Jack Burke was also fought in this City. Dempsey on his return to the East de- feated all who came against him and soon experienced a difficulty in getting fights. | He then took to that Mecca of all cham- pion pugilists, the theatrical profession, | and made money faster than he had in the roped arena, tbough never attaning the digmty of a histrionic star. During all these years he dissipated heavily, and the effects of his fast life were apparent when he fought and defeated Billy McCarthy, | the Australian, before the California Club. | Then came the fatal fight with the | Marine, which seemed to begin his down- | fall. He drank more heayvily than ever, and when matched to fight Fitzsimmons, THE LATE JACK [Reproduced from the latest photograph of th DEMPS AND HIS CHILDREN. ¢ Nonpareil and his daughters, as published in the Oregonian.] the first ne from the interior that tk Canadian police were attempting English flag at ty vhere these r Id d pour over ti e and dow n to help th o0 hoist For SR almost e alaw pr ting the 1ling to Indians of fixed amm ut there is not a man of them but owns a percussion- tire rifle. ‘At the first intimation of trouble be- tween the American miners and the Can- adian police 5000 of these S be enlisted and faken over the mounta | with the Juneau and Sitka volunteer: | have been on the Yukon vears and I know something as to g of the i vho, without dly an_exception ns, over this boundary ques- | tion, which is assuming a serious aspect.’’ There is | | { SHOT BY HER HUSBAND.

FEver Victorious Up to His TFight With George La Blanche. The news that Jack Dempsey, who had endeared himself to the sporting fraternity of the country through his ever present williugness to uphold his reputation by means of his physical ability rather than by battles of words, had joined the ma- jority, cast a gloom over the resorts where men of sporting proclivities are wont to congregate, and for hours the fraternity talked in subdued voices of the prowess of the deceased pugilist, of his many game battles and usually attendant victories. The almost universal verdict was that had Dempsey never met John Barleycorn he might still be alive and still at the head of the list of men in his class. Police Commissioner Mose Gunst, who invariably backed the Nonpareil when the | opvortunity offered, looked sad when told that Dempsey was dead and then fell into a reminiscent mood. “There was the best man of his weight who ever stepped into a ring,” he said, “and I doubt whether this country will ever see such another. He was his own worst enemy, and might have peen rich and still winning battles had he taken care of himself and not allowed himself to be led into dissipation by his friends. He was beaten but twice, one of those defeats being by a fluke, and the other adminis- tered by & man whom he should never have fought.” Young Mitchell, one of Dempsey’s great- est friends in this City, said that he had expected the news but that nevertheless he felt very sad over it. 3 “Jack whs a true friend and as brave a man as ever put up his hands,”” he said. “‘Fighters may come and fighters may go, but Dempsey will always live in the hearts of American lovers of pugilism as the Non- pareil.”? l"eter l?orsey. the veteran sporting man, paid a tribute to Dempsey as the cleverest end came at 6:45 aimed him a victim. The gallant fighter | = isixle Mrs. Dempsey, Mrs. Armstrong, the | No definitearrangements have been made | | the giant Australian, he was but a shadow of his former self. A good course of train- ing built him up to some extent, but the y that had carried him through a hard-fought battle was not there, | and he was an easy game for the Antipo- | dean. | It was on the evening of August 27, 1889, | that Dempsey’s long career of victory came | toanend. He stripped for the ring that night to meet George La Blanche the most perfect’ specimen of middle-weight man- hood ever trained for battle. He had met and beaten the same man before, though La Blanche had given him the hardest fight he ever had. The vic- tory over La Blanche had been one of | the unbroken string of fifty upon which Dempsey based his title to the name, “The Nonpareil.” The men who saw him that night will tell you that he was practi- cally invincible. Bar unforeseen accidents he could not lose. Even La Blanche felt this, and Dempsey was far and away the fayorite in the betting. Knowing what he had to expect, but capable of taking almost unlimited pun- ishment, the *Marine” fought a waiting fight as well as he could. For thirty-one rounds he stood before Dempsey, making a game battle, but growing steadily weaker, and in the thirty - second | he came up groggy and was perhaps | the most surprised man in the room at the way it ended. La Blanche knew, when he rose on his toes and swung hisarm, atonce to repel and to retreat from Dempsey’s rush, that he was a beaten man. The arm swung like a windmill, and the bone of his wrist landed squarely upon Dempsey’s jugular. “The Nonpareil” collapsed, a beaten man. He wept and raved when he re- covered his senses, but, though it was a | fluke and the world knew it, under the rules of the ring Dempsey was knocked out and La Blanche had won. The ‘“Non- | pareil” begged his enemy to give him one | more chance, and, though La Blanche had promised in the first flush of victory to do that, he could never be brought into the ring again. It was years before Jack Dempsey held up his head after hs defeat, and when Bob Fitzsimmons gave him a chance at New Orleans to recoup his fortunes he had passed his prime and he went down before the Australian in thirteen rounds. That defeat broke Dempsey’s heart. Dempsey, as well as many of his friends, believed that his death was hastened by a blow over the heart received in the battle with Fitsimmons, though his physician maintained that a long-standing case of consumption was the cause of his demise. Dempsey was almost as well known as a second as he was as a fighter and was in the corner when many a big battle was being fought, notably the one between Corbett and Choynski on the barge at Benicia, when he was the main adviser of the latter. Dempsey’s fighting weight was 144 pounds, which would have entitled him to stay in the welter-weight class had he so desired, but he thought himself able to handle middle-weights and fought many | men who weighed twelve pounds more than himself. Dempsey belonged to an old school of boxers, and he was about the last one left. His ring style was the latest in vogue when he was at his prime, yet it cannot be said | that he was skilled in the details of the technique like Corbett or Dixon. But in the general principles of the science no one of his class ever lived who could out- point him. 3 The Nonpareil's fighting qualities were never called into question. Whenever he entered the ring a high-classed exhibition was insured. Cleverness and gameness, two of the essential attributes of & champion, he abundantly possessed. His popularity was of a National char- acter. Excepting John L. Sullivan, per- haps, no man ever commanded such a following. Particularly was this true of him in and around New York. His manly conduct, together with his staying powers, made for him a legion of admir- ers. PACIFC COAST NEWS, Mild Clash of Authority Among Students at Stanford. Associated Students Demand Con- | trol of the Thanksgiving Entertainment. THEATRICALS ON THE CAMPUS. Extensive Preparations Being Made for the Presentation of “As You Like It.” STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Nov. 1.—The executive committee of the Asso- ciated Students has lately issued a request which is causing a deal of hard thinking on the part of several students. 1tis that all organizations, musical and otherwise, expecting to use the name of Stanford shall present their constitutions before the executive committee for its approval. Such an act practically puts these clubs under control of the Associated Students. The act of the committee was brought about by the alleged fact that the big Thanksgiving night entertainment was being pushed by a few enterprising stu- dents who expected to make a neat profit off the affair. These individuals would be deprived of their expected reward should they submit to the committee’s constitu- tional right. On the other hand, if they refused they cannot use the name of Stan- ford for advertising the big show, which is got up and will be performed by the students. The committee does not care to work any injustice upon the individuals who are booming the matter, and is willing to allow a fair percentage of the profits to the originators,” It is likely that a compro- mise will be arranged satisfactory to all parties concerned, ana while the Associated Students will be recognized as the con- trolling body the energetic few who started the ball rolling will get something out of the entertainment. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity is to give a reception to-morrow afternoon and evening which will exceed in elaborate detail anything of the kind that has yet occurred here. The new ‘‘frat” house, which was constructed durirg tne summer, will be thrown open to a host of invited guests. The house is the finest on the coast and was built after plans approved by the chapter members. The general reception, to which 350 invitations were issued, will take placein the afternoon. The dancing and banquet occur in the evening, the number of couples being limited to tnirty. Thisis looked upon as the social function of the semester and promises to be a brilliant affair. The intercollegiate debate for the Carnot medal has been announced to take place av Berkeley February 7, 1896. The ques- tion will be, ““Is the centralization form of government favorable to the stability of the French republic?” Stanford’s orchestra has at last organ- ized for work and will begin practice at once. The following constitute the mem- bership as it will take part in the Thank giving night exhibition in San Francisc First violin, P. F. Abbott, Schubert, Ab- bott, Anderson and Wells; second violin, Dulley and Klauber; ’cello, Colledge and Dulley; flute, Pool; clarionet, Bell and Pinkham; cornet, Van Norden and Rogers; trombone, Kaufman and Morse; bass, | Dole; horn, Schofield; piano, McGrew.

A large force has been at work on tbe grounds, and from | present indications there will be several | hundred residents in this section present, as well as the thousand students who will attend in a body.

An Engineer Claims He Was Requested to Report Falsely on the Venezuelan Boundary Location. SEATTLE, Wasu., Nov. 1,—William J. Burdett, a newspaper man who has re- turned from Europe, in an evening paper tells of an interview he had on board a steamship from Liverpool to New York with C. H. Frey, a civil engineer, formerly | of Atlanta, Ga., but now a resident of British Guinea, and in which country he owns and operates railroads. Frey expressed himself freely concerning the trouble between England and Vene- zuela over British Guinea. Overtures have been made to him from both governments, though Frear said he has held himself aloof from the controversy. Frey ran the first surveys into the coun- says England is especially interested in the matter as to whether the line of the | old Dutch forts does not extend now along | or near the line claimed by the British as | the boundary between the two countries. Frey stated that he was reanested by | English agents to say that such a line of | forts did exist when the late survey lines were extended into the interior. He aeclined to do so for business reasons, his road being in the disputed territory, or more particularly on the ground that he might be a loser whichever Govern- ment was successful. The country, Frey says, is controlled principally by about twenty sugar-plant- ers. The British Government, he stated, was dredging rivers and building locks’ and dams, and it was the apparent intention of England to have all internal improve- ments drag along uniil it could fain by delay and diplomacy the end it is after. e e g Death of a Petaluma Citizen.
