NEW YOIIK , Jan. 0 Terry Mcdovcrn to
night rroited the featherweight champion-
ihlp of the world from Gcorgo Dlxon , who
had defended It for nearly nine years. To
ia\o Dlxon from a knockout Tom O'Hourke ,
bis manager , threw up the sponge In the
eighth round , when the negro was etnggcr-
Ing helplessly , bleeding and weak , but
ui game as the dying gladiator.
The fight took place before n crowd that
packed the llroadway Athletic club and
Iho victory decided the ownership of a
(10,000 puree.
When Dlxon and McGovcrn stepped on the
calcs this afternoon to make the nrccs-
Eary 118 pounds Dlxon seemed to be In the
bettor condition. He was full of life anJ
nergy and looked n If the making of the
Keight had not troubled him , whllo McOov-
rn seemed to bo too finely diawn. When
they stepped Into the ring , however , McGo\-
rn's face showed no trace of a rlild ? trainIng -
Ing course and as soon as they stripped to i
the buff each looked In perfect condition.
Dlxon , from the first tap of the gong , was
on the aggressive , using a left swing In-
varlably an hln lead , which McOovcrn clev
erly stepped Inside of and sent ( nth hands
In rapid order to Dlxon's loner works.
McOovern'fl attack on the body was a
surprlHo to Dlxon , ns no boxer who ever
faced the negro was able to land on the
wind , ribs nnd kidneys as did McGovcrn
tonight.
Dlxon Jar * Mofiot cm.
Dlxon jarred McGovern half a dozen
times during the battle with hard cracks on
the head or Jiw , but Terry was always back
at his man in a Jiffy , relentlessly ( smashing
with either hand to the libs or stomach.
The so\enth round was a disastrous ouo for
Dlxon. Terry almost broke Dlxon's noeo In
this round after he had hcnt a right-hand
mash which landed over George's heart ana
Dlxon staggered to his corner with blood
spouting from his nasal organ.
Dlxon came up as game as c\or a man
did In the eighth round , which proved to bo
the last. Eii'ly in this round Dlxon sllpprd
to the floor near the ropes from u clinch
unl McGo\ern earned the cheers of the spec
tators by helping Dlxon to his feet. A
few moments later Dlxon Ltcppcd on a wet
spot in MeGovcrn's corner and slipped
to the floor for a second time. It was seen
Dlxon had almost shot hla bolt and McGov
crn , rushing , sent left and light to the
Jaw , flooring Iho champion.
Dlxon look Iho greater part of the count
this tlmo and as he arose slowly Terry , who
Blood scarcely four feet away , was ready to
rush at him. Dlxon went down from a
body blow , anA from -which he touched the
floor eight times in the rourd , the last live
times being the result of terrlllc body
punches.
O'Hoiirlce Throw M Up SpoiiKc.
A low seconds before the round would
have been completed Dlxon stood up from
his eighth fall , but his manager and backer ,
Tom O'Uourke , seeing that it was Impossible
for the negro to hold on to his title , threw
up the epongo within one second of the
call of time. In this O'Rouiko showed good
Judgment. Doth ho and Dl\on ha\e often
said that the latter would never be knocked
out again.
When O'Rourke throw up the sponge Dl\on
was practically helpless. McGo\crn was
hailed with \oelferous cheers as the winner
and was cheered again and again as the
champion.
Dlxon , the ox-champion , was not forgotlen.
Bound after round of cheers were gl\en for
the lad who had defended the tllle so clev
erly for nearly nine years , as ho left the
ring bleeding and beaten , after having prob
ably fought his last ring contest.
When Iho conlealants returned to their
dressing rooms DI\on was badly marked
up , but McGoxern showed very llttlo sign
of haUng como through a hard encounter.
The only marks that McGo\ern had wec
scratches on the right si do ot his neck
where Dlxon's left swings had gene around ,
scratching the Hkln.
Dixou felt his defeat very Keenly nnd had
very llttlu lo say , except that McGovern was
the best man ho had ever met and lhat
Terry could have beaten , in his present
condition , any man that Dlxon had c\cr de
feated.

'INDICTED ' THE WRONG MAN
!
Lowell Adalr Found Hot Guilty of Purloin
ing a Registered Loiter ,
ACQUITTED BY A FEDERAL COURT JURY
PrlMtnrr Tiilil of Two M 'i Named
nnil O'llrlen , nt AVIniHc llc-
t lie CnNlicil Ihr Draft * ,
I'roperty of U. T. A
The trial of lx > wel ! Adalr In the- federal
court Monday afternoon on n charge of ob
taining a reglstircd letter from the Omaha
postofllcc by fraudulent means came to an
abrupt and unexpected end , 11 being dis
covered during the hearing that the grand
Jury had Indicted the wrong man and that
I Adalr was Innocent. The Judge Instructed
the trial Jury to return n verdict of not
guilty. The prisoner was discharged.
Adalr , who Is a well-dressed and appar
ently respectable young man , was connected
with the transaction only In. an indirect
way. Ho serins to have been an Innocent
dupe of the real culprits. According to his
story the onlv part ho plajcd In the affair
was to cash the two drifts contained In
the registered letter. The money realized
from the first draft , $100 , was turned over
to his associates. U was while at the
bank cashing the second draft , calling for
$300 , that ho was arrested.
The alleged offense for which the grand
Jury Indicted Adalr consisted of securing a
registered letter from the postofflco January
23 , IS'jO , by impersonating II. T. Algeo , to
whom tbo letter wan addrcnscd. It was
the theory of the prosecution that Adalr
by some means had secured certain letters
passed between Algco and the cashier of the
bank at Goldflelds , In. , by which ho learned
that Algco had n deposit there and that ho
then ivroto to the cashier himself and asked
to have the $500 sent to htm in Omaha by
registered letter. Adalr la now under bonds
In the state courts charged with signing
Algco's name to the drafts upon which ho
secured the cash.
Trial \Vnn llrluf.
The second witness called In the trial
Monday afternoon , Clcik Dugdalo of the
postofllce registry department , gave tes
timony that brought the case to an abrupt
end. Ho declared that ho could not Iden
tify the accused as the man who had ap
plied at the oirico and secured the letter
under the pretense that he was U. T. Algeo
and that ho thought It was another man of
lighter complexion. The prisoner was not
oven with the latter at the office.
This testimony rather upset the calcula
tions of Deputy District Attorney Rush , who
Instituted an Investigation and found that
the grand Jury had Indicted the wrong man.
Ho stated the facts to the court and Judge
Mungor smilingly advised the Jury to return
a verdict of not guilty , whereupon the pris
oner was discharged.
It appears that when Adalr was arrested
for the offense charged and the cashing of
the drafts , another man named James '
O'Drien was arrested with him , and two '
clerks from the Omaha postofllco Identified '
O'Brien as the man who- had secured the
letter. For some reason not known to the
nttornejs In the r.aso O'Drien was allowed
to go , while Adair was held for .having en
dorsed the name of Algeo upon the draft
which ho had cashed , and the grand Juiy
upon mistaken Information brought in nn
Indictment against Adalr for having ob
tained by fraud possession of the letter con
taining the drafts.
Adnlr Tell * All He KIKMVN.
After his dlachargo Adalr talked freely to
the attorneys as to his relation to t-ho trans
action. Ho claimed that some time before
the commission of the alleged offense n
btranger had rented a room at his house on
Twentieth and Cumlng streets and had given
his name as It. T. Algeo.
Algeo had an acquaintance named James
O'Drien , and they one day Inviled him to
take n $100 draft to the bank and get the
cash , which ho did. When ho got there ho
was asked to endorse the draft and he wrote
the name of It. T. Algeo upon the back of it '
and got the money , gave it to O'Brien and
the latter ga\o It to the stranger. O'Brien
subsequently told him that the name of the |
stranger , who was known as Algeo , was.
really Glbbn. Later they asked Adalr to take
the $500 draft and get it cashed , and It was i
at this time that ho was arrested. Just i
after ho started from the house on this
errand Glbba left his room with his effects
and haa never been heard of by Adalr. It
was not until after his arrest that O'Drien
told him that the man known to him as i
Algeo was really named GIbbs. Adalr says ,
that O'Drien went sometime ago to his for
mer homo in Atlantic , la. , and that he was
living there no longer than two months ago.
Steps will doubtless bo taken at once by
the authorities to have him brought back.
The person who secured the letter ad
dressed to Algeo doubtless derived from an
other letter , which Algeo eays ho previ
ously lost and which the culprit doubtless
found , Information to the effect that Algeo
had money in the bank at Goldflelds. He at
once wrote the bank , signing Algco's name ,
and Inaugurated a correspondence with the
Intention to draw It out. Ho at last asked
the bank to send him $ COO , and It sent drafts
therefor. These letters were evidently wilt-
ten by cither O'Urien or Gibbs , for the
handwriting Is flmllar to that of Algco's
signature on the $000 draft , which was en
dorsed by one of them , and not similar to
that In the cndorbomcnt on the $100 draft ,
which Adalr eays he endorsed himself.
