The news of the tragedy will come as a shock to the friends and ac- of the interested parties. Edna Adams BoUon was reared In this city. As a girl she was very( popular and was employed in the stores here. On July 28, 1904, she married Sam T. Bollen.

He was an electrician and worked for the city when Warren Bott was at the head of the electrical department. He was an Impulsive. Impetuous fellow and, it is said, was very Jealous of Ills wife. Possessing remarkable beauty and vivacity, she wtis o.xoeed- ingly attractive. About a year after their niarrlngo.

the Bollons went West. A few weeks ago news reached horn of divorce action being instituted- by Mrs. Bollen on the grounds of cruelty. A rel atlve of Mrs. Bollen said this morning that'she had feared some rash act on part of Bollen ever since the divorce proceedings were brought OB he was very hot-headed and jealous.

Bollen came here from Leroy. His parenta still reside there and are among the respectable people of the Bulltsn is aboui IC years his wife's senior. The relatives had not received word of thf shooting when a reporter interviewed them this morning. Mrs. Bollen's mother, Mrs.

The Register today received definite corroboration that the report of the Reno prize fight will be telegraph ed this office next afternoon by rounds. The report will be handled by the Associated Press, the most extensive and reliable news disseminating medium on earth, and will come by wire direct from the ring. After the announcement in these columns the other day, several requests were received by this office to have the news telephoned or sent for bulletining elsewhere and the Kcglster consented. But a message of some length direct from the general manager, M. E.

Stone, prohibits this. The Kcglster Is permitted to use the bulletins In Its own office, to announce them by megaphone from the office and to publish in regular or extra editions of the paper, and that Is all. The faith of the Associated Press was pledged to these terms before per mission was granted to install a telegraph key in the arena. "We have to limit our service (o legitimate newspaper uses," says Mr. Stone.

For this reason, while the Register will seek more diligently than ever to handle the news stor-y fully and promptly, it is compelled to cancel Its tacit agreements with the various parties who had asked to have the bulletins by telephone.

Patten, who expects to spend the nest few months resting at his home in Evanston, retires with a fortune estimated at from to $12,000,000.

Jeffries is going to be prepared in case the process of battle wears upon him. There will be at the ringside two cylinders filled with oxygen, which will be used in the event of the man mountain becoming weary. It was James J. Corbett who first used oxygen in his second battle with Jeffries in San Francisco, and It was on his advice stuff was ordered. Its arrival at the camp yesterday created no end of curiosity, but nobody but Corbett could tell exactly what the cylinders contained.

Jeffries is going to have a slight aid for his feet in the shape of a newly invented shoe, the design of DeWitt Van Court, who in all probability will act as the. bear-man's chief second on the day of the fight. The shoe will be of calfskin, with non-slipable soles. Between the sole and the bottom of the foot will be a small rubber cushion possessed of great elasticity. This will aid the big fellow in fast foot work.

"I am ready. My training is finished. With the of a sprint now and then to keep myself In shape.

1 will do no more work." This was the declarsitlon made by James J. Jeffries late tisday. Johnson put on a sparring match with two of his helpers. After tossing the medicine ball and swatting punching bag, he called for the boxers. Al Kaufman responded and In i moment the pair were at it, Al bor Ing In though he was trying to knock the champion Kaufman tried all his tricks to make the champion open up but Jack stopped everything that came.

They kept it up for four rounds and it is doubtful whether the films will show that Al landed a single blow, de fense seemed Impregnable. His elbows, shoulders and arms formed a barricade that nothing Kaufman had fast enough to pass. He stop- l)ed most of xVl's leads without apparent exertion. When Kaufman retired, big "Kid Cotton plunged in. Jack went back at Cotton with some snap.

They wrestled around the ring, the champion displaying his great strength more than once liy hurling Cotton away from him as though he was a light-weight. In the second round the blood spurted from Cotton's lips from one of Jack's left Jabs. A little, lat er the champion ducked a swing anu the sparring partner sprawled on tne floor with the force of his own blow. They went four rounds before Johnson signaled the end of the show. As he walked toward his dressing room Johnson was asked! what work he contemplated tomorrow.
