ELMIRA N. y, June 2S-The prize fight
in the driving park Friday night between
Harry tmlah of this city and Mike Conley

battles in the history OF the ring. The
referee, Jack Murphy, appeared to be in
Conley's employ and did not interfere when
foul after foul was made. The rules were
supposed TO lie marquis of Queensberry, and
umlah. who is much lighter than Conley,
evidently went into the ring on the false
supposition that he was to have fair play,
but Conley got him down and battered him
terribly.
The crowd yelled: "Shoot the brutst''
"Take Off the dog XIII the loafer!'' but
Umlah pluckily concluded to try again.
conley again jumped him and bore him
to the ground and, after the referee called
a stop, as tmlah was getting up, Conley
gave him blow from behind that felled
him to the ground and stunned him so that
he could not respond when time was called.
Umlah remained on the ground senseless for
some time and all of the spectators thought
he was dead \ more Disguised crowd never
