being pretty evenly matched. The third

in favor OF Linksey, but Mclaughlin
seemed to be better sclencsd. The fourth
round brought the claret from both, but
with no advantage to either. In the fifth
round both came 10 the scratch with no
little vim, and the punishment was about
evenly divided. In the sixth round both
fell, somewhat the worse for wear, and
pulled like porpoises. Considerable spar
| ring was INDUCED in, when Linksey acct
d~entally fell, his chin striking Il root. Ills
neck was broken, and he expired almost

great excitement, and it was all that Il few
cool-headed men could DO to prevent a
row between the rival factions. Nc
Laughlin gave himself up. The Coroner
held All inquest this morning, the jury re-
turning "a verdict that Linksey's death
was caused by Mclaughlin. He was held
