they struggled, now one uppermost and then
the other. Fifty to twenty five on Chica,
beloved ont an old brui5er On the upper
seats. Ten dollars to five on Chica, came
from an deliberately dressed sporting man
near the pit. "Go it, Stout T. the friends OF
that aog, cheered back, but before ten minutes

strength keeping up to his work gamely |
HIS opponent shrewdly kept his legs out Of

Stout, held him down until lite was all but
extinct when tho Judge decided il favor Of
