that the most of them had been up all

Some enterprising individual opened a
bar with couple of barrels and fence
rail, and sold poor article of perverted
benzine at twenty-five cents load :
Numbers got loaded with it. No one had
thought of providing any water, and as
the raw whiskev went down the threats OF
the deluded benznists, it could fairly be
heard to scorch and sizzle. Some of then,

There were sixty-fve reporters for news
papers present representing New York,
Philadelphia and Washington, as we'll as
the principal Western cities. They oc-
cupied position on the ground close. to
the ring, looking like group of Arabs,
with their handkcrchicfs over their heads
to protect them from the rays of the sun.
In the height Of the excitement one repor-
ter got knocked over by some one, and
imagining for a moment, that he was
Jones, bcsought his seconds to carry him
back to his corner. Another reporter
told him if it was corner grocery he
would do it.

combat that was going on, and when that
terrible blow came that seemed to crash
into the very brain of unfortunate Jones,
knocking him scnseless and ending the
fight, there was a rush into the ring by
the friends of McCool, who yelled like SO
many devils, patting him on the back and
embracing him like . long lost brother
in-law. McCool turned and ran for his
carriage, closely followed by the crowd, ,
and rode quickly away. He didn't ap-

fence into, the road with great agility.
The friends of the vanquished gathered
around the PROSTATE man and used means
to revive him ,-but it was quarter of an
hour before he could speak. He was a

CLOSED, his forehead cut, swollen and
bleeding, his body bruised, and his breech-

blood, how changed from the erect and
sturdy man who first stepped into the
ring Helpless as child and vomiting
from every effort, he was placed in ear

The effect upon many was to excite
