How Wafches are Made.

Ina SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from the
necessary thickness for Engraving and
polishing, large proportion Of metal is
needed only to stiffen and hold The en-
graved portions in place, and supply
strength. The surplus gold is actually
needless. In James Boss Patent Gold
Watch Cases this waste is saved, and
soIidity and strength increased by SIM
pie process, at one-half the cost A plate
Of solid gold 10 soldered on each side of
plate Of hard nickel composition metal,
and the three are then passed between poll
ished steel rollers From this the.casos,
backs, eenters, bezels, ETC., are cnt and
shaped by dies and formers. The gold is
thick enough to ADMIT OF all kinps Of
chasing, engraving and engine turning.
These cases have been worn perfectly
smooth by use without removing the
gold This is the only case made under
this process. Each case is accompanied
with valid guarantee signed by the
manufacturers warranting it to run 20
years. 80, 600 Of these cases now carried

Omaha, 13.-SA prize fight tool
place this morning near Clear Greek
about 40 miles from Omaha, between
James Felt, a miner from Rich
Hill, Mo-, and Jack Hanley, cham
piOn Of Colorado, for a purse OF
$500. A spe :isl train left Omaha
about 2 o'clock for the scepe. There
were over 100 sports on beard who
paid SO ticket and a'so quite a
numter of newspaper men. On
eae arrival at the battle ground, q
twenty-fOur foot ring was pitched,
referees chosen and all other pre-
Hminaries arranged. At six O'Clock,
Felt and Hanley, who have been In
training several weeks in Omaha
and were in fine condition, stepped
into the ring and the fight began.
Twenty-Five rounds were fought,
both men being badly punished,
Hanley about the face and
Felt about the body. Hanley
was inclined to make foul
breaks and several times picked
Felt with his shoe, and also would
no: let go when they ciinchtd He
was warned to stop this, but finally
on the twenty-second round made
pad foul, and the referee decided the
fight in favor of Felt. Both men
showed considerable science and on
duraLce. The fight lasted one hour.
The crowd while On the return trip
got to fighting on the cars, and |
finally there was general exchange
OF shots, resulting in three men |
being wodnded. One man was shot |
In the head dangerously, another in
the chin, and another in the arm.
Upon reaching Omaha the wounded
men were quickly taken from the
train in carriages and removed to
different places. Their names have
not yet heen ascertained. No one
in the crowd is willing to give any,
thing away. It was a most dis
graceful affair. The authorities will
probably endeayer to punish all
concerned.
