FIFTEENTH ROUND ENDS CONTEST
With Bowed Head Jeffries Shrinks
View of Pittying Admirers -Sen-
timent Against Brutal Game
Becoming Stronger
The great ring career of .Tamos J. j
Jeffrie* came to a pitiful close when at
Reno, Nevada, lust Monday that great- '
er brute, us becomes his race, the negro
Jack Johnson in the fifteenth round of
the contest, all but Knocked hi in out
for the couut, which was only saved b\
the refferree declaring Johnson the win-1
ner and omit'ins the count. Jeffrits
will retire to his alfalfa ranch it south-
era California, while Johnson will
swell up and burst or by his assumed
importance force some more decent man
to shoot him down in self-defensj. A
movement for put ting an end to prize I
fighting on American soil has simulta
neotisly started in various parts of the '
country and the next pair of toughs j
who attempt to pull off an exhibition!
of their brutality in this country will, I
in all probability, find that thej' are up]
against something. Jeffries was an,
easy mark for the negro from the intro-!
dnction to the close.

When I started the ball rolling for
the Fourth of July celebration for Tah-
lequah I received all kinds of encour-
agement from the business men of our
city. Committees were appointed and
I was selected to get the crowd here—
and they were here but when it came
down to actual works the committees
were either too busy or didn't care
whether we entertained the people
when they were our guests or not.
However, as I have said, I got the
crowd here and did manage to secure a
few amusements for them and 1 heard
no one complaining, but we could have,
by a little effort, entertained them ro.v-
a^y, and would have made an everlast-
ing impression on the good people of
Cherokee and surrounding counties T
make tiiis announcement lo clear my-
I self, for it has been said it was a scheme
of my own and that it was never made
public. My intentions, I hope I have
made very clear to all concerned.
Yours for good groceries,
P. M. Lutz.
