A Prize Fight Winds Up In a Free Figh,
OMAHA, May ia prize fight
took place this morning near Olea
creek, about forty miles rom Omaha,
between James Fell, a miner from
Rich Hill, Mo-, and Jack Hanley,
champion of Colorado, for q purse of
$500. A special train left Omaha
about 2 o'clock for the scene. There
were over 100 sports on boald who
paid $50 a ticket, and also quite a
number of ne wspaper men. On ar
rival at the battle ground 8 twenty
four foot ring was pitched, referees.
ETC., and all other prelimlnaries were
arranged by 6 o'clock. Fell and
Hanley. who have been in training
several weeks in Omaha, were in
fine condition. They stepped into
the ring and the fight began. Twenty
two rounds were fought, both men
being badly punished-Hanley about
the face and Fell about the body.
Hanley was inclined to make foul
breaks and several times kicked Fell
with his shoe, and also would not
let 60 when they clinched. He was
warned to stop this, but finally in
the twenty-second round he made a
Dad foul and the referee decided the
fight in favor of Fell. Both men |
showed considerable science and en-
durance. The fight lasted one hour.
The crowd while ON the return trip
got to fighting ON the cars, aud
hnally there was a general exchange
OF shots, resulting in three NJ be-
ing wounded. One man was shot in
the head, another in the chin, and
another in the arm. Upon reaching
Omaha the wounded men were quick
~ taken from the train in carriages
aud removed to different places.
Their names have not yet been as
as no one in the crowd is
willing to give anything away. 1t
was u disgraceful affair. The author
tiles will probably endeavor to pun
ish all concerned.

being starved out-not the navy.

INVESTIGATION

The tariff is now out of the way
for awhile at least and Congress has
a clear sea before 1t without shoals or
sunken rocks. There is nothing to
prevent the Democratic majority of
the House from performing q duty
which the country expects and which
ought to have been performed long
ago.
Republican newspapers, Republi>
can x-Senators and the ex.secretary
of the National Republican Commit
tee have charged that the seat on the
bench of the supreme court filled by
Stanley Matthews was bought and
paid for by parties interested in Inn
portant litigation before that
court. A more serious charge
could hardly be made against
one occupying such an ex-
allied position. IF we'll founded it
destroys the character and usefulness
of that high judicial body which is
the final arbiter of the Constitution,
the last interpreter of all the laws of
the United States.
An investigation of these charges
is demanded. If the ~judgeships of
the Supreme Court have been sold
and the judges are the servants and
tools of the men to whose money
they owe their seats, the liberties OF
the people and the institutions of
the country are imperilled. To look
into these charges and to drag the
truth to light is a duty which the
House owes to the people of the
country.
The accusation lie not blind one.
It is not made without cause. The
lame Of the judge whose seat Is al
eyed to have been purchased, the
name of the salesman, the name of
he purchasers, even the name of
he agent who carried the price of
he bargain, have been stated, The
then ia made of the Demo-
'ratlc Congress that 1t investigate
he charge that the seat of Stanley
on the bench of the Su-
'reme Court was procured by bribery
nd corruption. The investigation
hould be made without delay and if
he charges be sustained "let no
utility man escape" F.,
