Calgary, Alberta, May 31.—The celebration of Empire day
last Saturday (May 24) came to sudden end to thousands of visitors
who had gathered from near and far to witness the 20 round box
ing contest at Tommy Burns’ big arena in this city between Luther
McCarthy and Arthur Pelky, the heavyweight pugilists.
In the first round of the contest Pelky put McCarthy to the
mat, where he helplessly lay, and was counted out by the referee,
liis seconds, unable to bring him to his feet, hastily summoned
physicians who tried tirst-aid treatment without success, and after
3") minutes the big pugilist died without regaining consciousness.
An autopsy showed that a smash to the jaw had caused spina)
hemorrhage.
Shortly after McCarthy died Pugilist Pelky and Tommy Burns,
the prizefight promoter, were arrested upon a charge of man
slaughter, and were released on bonds of $10,Out) each. McCarthy
left a wife and one child in North Dakota, and an estate valued at
£20,000
On the following morning -Sunday- Burns’ big arena, where
the McCarthy-Pelky tight took place, was destroyed by tire. The
place had but recently been completed at a cost of many thousand
dollars.
The sudden ending of McCarthy's career was a great shock to I
those who take interest in pugilistic affairs, and many looked upon!
the “cowboy” boxer as a “white hope.” During the past IS months |
he has been much to the fore in heavyweight contests throughout
the United States, and had met and defeated some of the best box- j
ers of the day. On May 3, last year, at Springfield, Mo., Mc
Carthy knocked out Carl Morris in six rounds; May 23, at Joplin,
Mo., knocked out Jack Reed in three rounds; June 10, at Philadel
phia. got decision over Tim Logan in six rounds; August 0, at New
York, Jim Stewart received the popular verdict over McCarthy in
a 10 round go; August 10. at New York, he fought a 10-round draw!
with Jess Willard; September 14, at Pittsburg, Pa., Luther de-!
touted Jimmy Barry in six rounds; October 12, McCarthy defeated
A1 Kaufman in two rounds at San Francisco. On January 1 last
at Los Angeles McCarthy knocked out A1 Payzer, the Iowa giant,
in a few rounds. _ 1

Marquette, Mich., May 2. A jury consisting four miner*, three
teamsters, two farmers, one locomotive tireman, a blacksmith and
a woodsman were selected and arc hearing the evidence in the
widely-discussed case of criminal libel of (.'clone] Theodor!' Roose
velt against Editor Newell of this city for $10,000 damages. The
suit was instituted during the closing weeks of the late Presiden
tial, while affair? politically were somewhat heated in this state.
On the witness stand Col. Roosevelt, on his own behalf, denies
being strictly a temperate man, but declared emphatically that he
is always sober. Many other witnesses were brought forward to
testify that they never had seen the ex-President under the influ
ent!^ of liquor.
Case Takes Unexpected Turn.
Marquette, May 31.--Mach to the surprise of every spectator
in the crowded courtroom where the Roosevelt libel case is being
heard, Editor Newell unexpectedly took the witness stand this
afternoon and retracted the alleged libelous utterances charging|
the former President with drunkeness, and said that he had become j
impressed with the belief that injustice had been done the colonel |
in tire publication of the defamatory article, lie said that he j
deeply regreted its appearance, and then asked the judge to in
struct the jury to bring in a verdict in merely nominal damages.
The jury, after short consideration, awarded Mr. Roosevelt
damages to the extent of 0 cents.
