NINETY-sIx ROUNDS.
Two Illinois PueiIists Pound Each
Other.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.--Members of the pugil-
istic fraternity of this city, returned from
Peoria Saturday night, furnish the facts in
regard to hard.glove fight which occurred
there ON Friday night, aud which was SO
quietly managed that it did not become
public. The battle took place near the
saloon known as "The Last Chance" about
four miles from Peoria. The principals
were Herman Plague, heavy weight
Dutcbman, aud Ira Dudley, of Peoria.
Patsey Cardiff was referee Tom Chandler,
of Chicago, time-keeper. Ninety-six rounds
were fought in two hours aud seven min
utes. After the ninetieth round it was
evident that Plague could not win, as he
was very weak from the punishment he had
received and from loss Of blood. His friends
attempted to force into the ring, but were
stopped by the referee and seconds. Both
men were terribly punished. Dudley, how
ever, lost the fight by committing foul,
striking Plague two heavy blows while the
latter was on his knees.

The long-expected seventeen-year locuStS
have put in an appearance in various parts of
the country. Several days ago the holes in the
ground where they came ont were seen, but
the insects were not observed. Now the locusts
in large number; are climbing tho trees, and
their sleughs or shells may be seen sticking to
The trunks and branches. Though the locusrs
are about in quantities, they have not yet COM
menced their peculiar song. They seem a lit
tie tender yet They make flight, but it is
comparatively a feeble effort yet An i'm
menSe number of ant-hils have been observed
this season, and it is judged from heir appear
ance at this time that they are enemies of the
locusts When the locusts first issue from the
ground and are soft an army of ants will attack
them and birds of various kinds prey on them,
and fowls of all kinds thrive on them. The
locust is harmless, but ,'rsons before handling
it shout be sure that the H. ger wasp or
"Stizzus GraniiS' is not hung to The insect.
1t is this wasp that in locust years causes So
many deaths that re credited 10 The locust
This large wasp about tn, size of II locust comes
with each return of the 'ern-S ear locuSts
to prey on them. The sting of The wasp causes
d-Ath freqneRtly in two hours. In short
time the female locusts will commence LAYING
their eggs in the young branches o. The trees
sele :lng those less than Inch in diameter.
From the points of puncture he limbs die out
TO the tips, and hanging Som the trees through
the season present peculiar appearance that
calls th- attention of ali 10 the fact that it is
locust year.
