PRENTICE MAKES
HARD FIGHT FOR
LIFE; IMPROVED
Recovering from Shock o'
Wounds—Physicians to
Operate Late Today.
With four bullets from n 32 calibe
revolver in his body, two in his
breast, one in the abdomen and th
fourth in a kidney, "Billy" I’rentice
allot in a Front Street cafe Wednes !
day night, was making a game figli
for life at St. Ann's Hospital todaj
He has a fighting chance to pul
through, apparently, made posstbli
for him largely by his own deter
mlnation to live.
Not the slightest hope was held out
yesterday for Prentice's recovery and
several times during the day rumors
of his death were In general circu
latlon around the streets. Dr. W. A.
Borland, who is In attendance. hel<
out no hope at all yesterday. He
Said today, however, that Prentici
rested well laRt night and slept much
of the time. The shock of th«
wounds is passing away and Pren
tlce is some stronger today.
He was so weak yesterday that i
was impossible to attempt to remove
tfcc bullets. Dr. Borland called Dr
H. C. Devighne in consultation today
and it rvas decided to operate latf
this afternoon, as it was not deem
od wise to postpone removal of the
bullets longer than Is absolutely nec
essary. The wound in the kidney
is said to be particularly dangerous
as well as that In the lung.
Shows Real Gameness.
The wounded man is showing a
real quality of gameness, said Dr.
Borland, which is half of the battle.
He is ready to undergo any treat
ment, however strenuous, and has
no Idea of giving up.
In response to a suggestion that he
make a post mortem, or dying state
ment, Prentice absolutely decried the
idea and good naturedly declared
he had no intention of dying.
His physician, however, is not so
confident. Prentice, he said is in
a dangerous condition and will need
all his confidence and every bit of
aid that surgery, medical science and
nursing can give to him if he wins
his splendid fight to recover.
Lott Not Arraigned.
"Billy" Lott, the negro barber who
shot Prentice Is still confined in a
cell in the local federal Jail tinder a
charge of shooting with intent to
kill. He has not been arraigned and
his examination will probably not
be held before next Tuesday, it was
announced at the U. 3. Attorney’s
Office.
Lott railed H. L. Faulkner to sec
him this nto.ning ind it is ptobublc
that Mr. Faulkner will be retained
to defend him. He has added noth
ing to. nor has he changed, the state
ment made shortly after his arrest
Wednesday night.

BIG SMOKER IS
ARRANGEDiLOVE
MEETS JOHNSON
Big Card at Elks’ Hall Tonight i
—“Battling’ Johnson
on in Headliner.
"Battling” Johnson, clever 143
. pound fighter and "Kid” Love, 140
pound whirlwind off one of the Eagle
boats now in the harbor will be the
j principals In a smoker announced
for tonight hy the local American
Legion post. The smoker was ar
ranged for the fans this afternoon
after the arrival of the boats in
port ami only a nominal admission
fee will be charged to make it pos
sible to give prizes to the fighters.
1 In addition to the main bout, it is
expected that Williams, the slugger
! who disposed of Jose Salgada In last
i Tuesday's smoker, will be matched
j with a clever man of his own weight.
I Besides this match, which will be the
j semi-final ow the card, three prelimi
I naries will be staged between men
from the two ships.
Sailor Thompaon Aboard.
Local fight fans all remember “Sail
or" Thompson, the clever boxer from
the sub-chaser which was stationed
here two years ago. Thompson was
on two local cards, winning both by
kayos. His last match here was with
Bobby Morris, who had been picked
to win. Thompson showed some of
the classiest boxing ever seen on
the channel in that bout. He is
aboard one of the Eagle boats and
has picked the string of fighters to
appear.
“Kid" Love, who will meet John
son, is cock of the 140-pound class of
•he Thirteenth Naval Division. Thomp
son Is authority for the statement
that he is a top-notaher and resemo
les a Kansas tornado in action.
Will Be Real Fight.
Johnson was billed to appear on
the recent American Legion card
but the committee was unablt to get
an apponent for him after Brady with
drew. Johnson's sparring was one
of the main features of the smoker,
In which he went six rounds with loc-'
al boxers and was in shape to go as
many more.
In an effort to match Johnson when
the sailors suggested the smoker, the
“Battler” offered to concede 10
pounds to get a'fight. “We haven’t
got a man in the limit you offer,
but we have a man who will give
Johnson five pounds and win," was
the sailor’s response. Anil “Kid1;
Love is the man.
Tonight's smoker will be Ue.u In
Elks' Hall. The first preliminary
will be staged at 8:30 p. m. Five
orking good bouts are virtually as
sured, it was stated.

PEASANTS DISTRUST BANKS
BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, July G. —
rhere is today in Jtigosalvia a scar
ify of hank notes of large denomin

lilts are hoarding the former and
tiding them away in the latter.
The peasants' bank is a Jug bur
ied in the gorund. As they have be
come very rich in the last few years.:
their paper money accumulating, bur !
ed in the ground as they used to !
hide copper and silver coin before i
the war, were eaten up by mice and
•ats. Now the peasants have learned
to put their paper money in tightly '
corked jugs, hence the scarcity of !
jugs. When possible the peasants
ttbtain banknotes of large denomina |
tions for hoarding purposes, as tho|
Jugs are too quickly filled with |
tmall value bills.
VIENNA SUPPORTS 73,000 DOGS
VIENNA, July 6.—Prom a census
which has just been taken In Vienna
it appears that the city has 73,000
dogs, or twice as many as in peace
time. At first sight it would even
seem remarkable, that so many peo
ple in this poverty-ridden city should
be keeping dogs.
One of the principal reasons is the
increase in the number of burglaries
and thefts, which has led many
householders to jteep dogs for pro
tection. Watchmen with police dogs
are employed to guard the great Cen
tral Cemetery from which a number
5f bodies have been stolen.
