charge against johnson was dismissed in
Judge Webb's Court owing to lack of evil
dence to convict, after which johnson sought
for his antagonist in order to have it out with
him. On Friday the two belligerents met,
but were persuaded by their friends TO forego

and consequently he was unable TO do justice
to himself in the glove fight. It wss then
