of the fatal prize fight briefly men.
toned In these dispatches Last night.
Mike Mclaughlin aud Martin Linksy,
two boys not more than eighteen years
of age and employees OF the X Rochester
coal company, quarreled yesterday and
agreed to settle the trouble according
to prize ring rules. The fight came
off by lamp light last night and was
witnessed by large number
of spectators, mostly miners. The
first two rounds were possessed of very
little interest, the antagonists being
pretty evenly matched. The third
round was q spirited one and heavy
odds we're In favor of Linksy, but
Mclaughlin seemed to be better
scienoed. The fourth round brought
the claret from both but with no Ad-
vantage to either. In the fifth round
both came to the scratch with nc
little vim and the punishment
was about evenly divided. In the
sixth round both felt somewhat worse
for wear, and blowed like porpoises.
Considerable sparring was INDUCED
In, when Linksy accidentally fell, his
chin striking q root. His neck was
broken, and he died almost In

of the mill caused great excitement,
and it was all few cool. headed men
