SAX FiiAvriro , Cnl. , July 23. The hattlo
between the bantam weights , Dlxon am
Willis , at the California tonight occupied loss
than twenty minutes. Willis was knocked
out In tlio IHUi round , after having had the
worst of n hard fought battle from the very
start.
Dixon's style of fighting ww not known
very well here , nnd ho was not expected to
do much rushing ; but ho forced thoflghl
from the llrst round. IIo rushed Willis hard
whenever ho could get him at close quarters
and heat him with case.
Willis strticgled hard to hold out against
the colored man's assaults , and in the hall
dozen sharp rallies ho fought back
manfully. but was not able to
hit ai hard or as frequently as his
opponent. Ills quickness nnd his ability
to stand hard punishment saved him from
defeat earlier , but after belli ; : knocked down
in the first round and unmercifully pounded
In the four following rounds , ho was greatly
weakened and the blow which llnally sent
him out wns a light one compared to a dozen
others which ho had received.
Dixon was apparently uninjured nnd as
teen as ho saw that Willis could not rise In
the IIHli round the colored man gave n leap
almost half across the ring , whllo the
spectators cheered him wildly.
Willis was practically unknown to
many here , and the bettlnc before the fight
was In Dixon's favor , ranging from 100 to 70
to 10(1 ( to 'M. Great interest was taken In the
fight here and the club room was tilled. The
men were trained faithfully and both were In
perfect condition , Hiram Cook was referee.
Dixon's seconds were Tim O'Hourke ' ,
Mitchell nnd Dili Akers. Willis was seconded
ended by Martin , Murphy and Billy Smith.
In the llrst round thu men sparred cau
tiously for fully a minute , Dlxon showing
the greater advantage In reach. Then Dixon
led and caught Willis on the jaw , sending
him down. When ho rose there wns the
llvel icst kind of a rally , the men singeing
each other at close nunrtcrs , Dlxon plainly
having the best of it. Willis hugged us
much us possible.
The second round was opened cautiously
by both men. Dixon rushed , but accomp
lished nothing. A moment later ho planted
a swinging left on the Australian's Jaw.
Several sharp rallies nnd then clinching
followed. They kept up a seesaw on each
others jaw at thu closest possible range. The
round closed with cheers for both iron.
During the third round , both wcro very
wary at tint. Dlxon then landed his loft on
Willis1 body nnd right In his jaw. Neither
blow did much damage.
In the fourth round after two minutes of
sparring Dixon rushed and lando-l on Willis'
Jaw and body several times , receiving two
sharp raps In return , lioth were very quiet
and saved themselves by dodging.
The llfth round was opened like the others.
Neither necmed disposed at llrst to rush nnd
force matters. Townr-ls the close tnoro wns
n sharp rally near the ropes In which it was
give and tnko for a moment , Ihouuh Dixon
plainly landed harder nnd oftoncr.
Presently Dixon caught the Australian on
the Jaw with his loft and sent him down.
Willis rose to his hands and knees and took
his ton seconds on the floor. IIo
arose a little and when Ulxon rushed him ho
stood prepared to receive the attack. Ho
was not able to do much , however , in the
rally that followed , and Dixon's ' right soon
camn into contact with Willis' j.uv nnd thu
Inttor went down Hat on his back. IIo loll
heavily and lay llko a log. When ten seconds
ends had expired Willis' seconds hnd to lift
him from the tloor , and Dixon was declared
the winner. The colored man seemed as
strong as when the fight commenced.

The statement says that the total value of
the commerce of the past fiscal year was the
greatest In the history of the government

Francis Train , the man without n modal and
without a shadow , entered the Pnxton hotel

and acquaintances.
Mr. Train had just arrived from the Pacific
cnnst , where ho landed on July 22 after a
trot mind the world , which ho accomplished
In sixty-one days.

ceeded to write across the page in very largo
letters : "Gcorgo Francis Train -Kound
world nsain Majestic ! > 00 miles a day , ! ( )
aays for world's lair ! ( Omaha to Omaha. ) "
"Thero It Is , " said Mr. Train turning to
Mr. Demls and others who stood near , "the
greatest scheme I ever sprunir. I'ho thing
will work and it will set thu whole world
talking. U will place tlio management of the
world's fair , that is the motive force that
must run the thing , right here In Omaha.
\Vo will charter the steam ship Majestic ,
tiiko a ship load of Americans and sail
around the world ! ! ! Advertise Omaha and

Suez canal , touch at Hong ICong , Honolulu and
Yokahoimi ; land at i'uget Sound and como
