PRIZE FIGHr-About forty men, mostly
of the rough class assembled in shanty,
about half mile this side of the Aqueduct
bridge, last Sunday, to witness prize fight.
The fight was between Jimmy Corners
and Shoots Ftz, two well-known Swami
poodle coughs" of Washington. Corners,
few Sundays ago, knocked out" we'll
known local pugiist, and Shoots" chaleng.
ed him. The fight was for $50 a side and
the amateur championship of the district.
About 3 o'clock Sunday the crowd left
Washington on foot and in carriages and re.
paired 10 the shanty, which was at one time
used as chicken and dog pit. After some
hard fighting which lasted some time
shoots" presented blind eye and swollen
face in the sixth and last round, and was
blowing hard. Jimmy, on the other hand
looked fresh, and with the exception OF
few scratches was all right. After sparrlne
little, during which but few blows were
exchanged, Jimmy spied an opening ano
sent Shoots down. Shoots" then refus.
ed to fight any longer, and the purse ano
fight were awarded to Jimmy, who with bis
friends went back TO Washington, leaving
the beaten party on the ground.

for Governor, is man whose honesty

capacity is not doubted, However much
we may differ with him politically, and
in party affiliations, one thing is pretty

sites of a public servant: honesty and

The HERALD has discovered that
Judge Norton is a "sly old COON" We
imagined it was only II question OF time
when this great truth would dawn on
the Dallas paper He is indeed sly old
long haired coon, and knows that though
ne may be beaten for Governor of Texas,
yet if the republican national ticket is
successful he'll be taken care of by
reason of the straight-out nerve he has
exhibited Statesman.

now as 1t plays among the skeleton
arms of the trees, and still the old maids
and bachelors have no prospect of being
kept warm this winter Kaufman sun.
