Norton he hardly knew what to do. He APP
piled TO Chief Of Police Clark for bis opinion
as TO whether, in bis Judgment Norton would
appear. Mr.. Barnes told the court that he
did not wish to have Mr.. Norton locked up
over night and II there WAS no other way,
and be could be allowed TO, he would 20 out
ana get additional security for Sorton's ap-
pearance. The court said be did not wish to
lock up Mr.. Norton II there was any way to
avoid It, and IL he could be satisfied
that Norton would appear be would take Mr..
Barnes bond alone for f. Mr.. Barnes as
sured the court, on his honor, that in his
judgment Mr.. Norton would appear. The
latter had no object in going away and had
nothing to go away for. He bad com mitted
no offense and did not feaI the result Of an
examination. The court finally concluded
to accept a bond signed by Nr. Barnes and
Mr.. Norton and take his chances on that
Two bonds were therefor executed by both
parties, and they were both free TO go home
and eat turkey. Both appeared 70 be in good
condition, physically, though Barnes was
Nursing his right thumb.
There was variety Of opinions in regard
to the interference Of the police and there
were many Of those who were present to see
the nght who did not hesitate TO declare that
that the parties never intended to fight and
that the principals we're instrumental in hzV-
ing the police interfere. They declared at
the city hall that there was time for the men
to have begun and finished the fight before
the police came, but that instead of going to
work at once, they ''monkeyed sround'' to
give the police q chance 10 get there. On the
contrary, both principals declare that there is
not word Of truth in this statement; that
they meant business and were Fastening
forward matters as fast az possible; that they
did not in any way communicate with the
police, or intimate TO the chief or any mem
Der OF the force where the fight was 10 take
place. The chief declares most solennly
that he knew nothing about where the fight
was 10 take place, and had no intimstion or
hint of it from either OF the principals. The
first thing that put him to thinking about
the fight going on In the city was a conVersa-
ton that he heard between two or three
sports on the street, near the city ball, and
as soon as be heard that conversation be sus-
pected the light was In progress somewhere
in the city. He at once sent Officer O'Con-
nor up there to put stop 10 1t, and the re-
suit is told above.

Billy Wilson, "Thunderbolt, " as they call
him in Boston, where he halls from, was one
Of the spectators yesterday. He has chal-
lenged c. A. c. Smith. the colored cham
pion, and Tom McAlpine has him in active
training in match can be arranged.
In conversation with GLOBE reporter he
expressed himself as aching for fight with
Smith, and thinks he can make il too hot TO
be comfortable for the black giant. Wilson
lie colored boxer also, not 50 large as
Smith by good deal, but be has an arm
like iron and is built for the business.
Tom McAlpine, that quaint cove, was also
on hand. He don't look very likely now,
but be has been "a right good 'un" in his
day, and even yet be can set smart pace
for most Of the lads. Tom says he has in
the Thunderbolt lone of the best natural
fighters in America" as he expresses it, and
Is ready to prove the genuineness Of his say
by backing his man for all he is worth.
