to put out her left hand. In doing this the
wrist was bent back and broken. Drs. Bell

BLOOD AND MONEY,
Extensive CScking Main and Interest
Dog Fight Last Night.

Extensive Cocking Main and Interesting
Dog Fight Last Night.
Last evening was great event for the
rather high-toned sporting circles Of this
and neighbOring cities. The word that there
was ''hen on" had gone out quietly
couple Of days ago, and last evening a
crowd Of about sixty, among whom were
some very prominent merchants, lawyers
and physicians Of this city, gathered in
large barn near Catawba.
The best sport Of. the evening was. of
course, saved until the last. and was pre-
ceded by few chicken fights, some of
which are described In detail.
The first was match between Shawl
neck and a HertwOod. lasting but few
minutes, and rather disappointing in its re-
suit The Shawlneck ran away on the sec
ond pitting, thus dropping its owner and
hackers to the tune Of about $50.
In the second fight, between an Irish gray
and Dominic, the Dominic's leg was
broken on the second pitting, but he was
game and continued the fight until he was
counted out after hard struggle. lasting
seven minutes. A little over $40 changed
hands on this contest.
On another fight between two .Gingers," :"
one weighing four pounds and four ounces
and the other four pounds and two ounces,
the heavier bird was .uncoupled''
(had its back broken) after three pittings.
There were between $40 and $50 up on this
fight also.
The great event was the meeting Of two
well known bull terriers, both owned here.
The dogs were finely handled. and fought
to the finish in a long and savage struggle.
lasting fully IS minutes. They chewed
each other up in horrible shape.
but neither succeeded in doing
his antagonist any permanent
injury. The dogs finally quit of their own
accord, each being thoroughly exhausted
and winded. The referee declared the fight
a draw. This was great disappointment
to the many present, for the fight has been
so much talked OF and such high expecta-
tons had been excited that they were anx-
ious to see 1t definitely settled. Over $3.50
had been put up on it. The fun finished at
g. 80 this morning

Tramp pIed by q Horse.

Last night about half-past eight cries
were heard ON South Yellow Spring streets
as coming from little child. Some man
who happened to be walking along ran up
the street to ascertain what was the cause
Of the trouble. He found little girl about
nine years Of age lying in the road and
holding her foot complaining that it hurt
her very much. She then told the man
that her foot had been run over by the
wheels Of farmers heavy wagon and that
the fellow had driven of without so much
as stopping to see to her injuries
or offer to take her to her
home. She said that she was
trying to cross the street, and that when
she had about reached the middle of the
street she saw the horses almost upon her.
She stepped back, but not quick enough.
and the front wheel passed over her foot
She gave her name as Mary Buckner. The
man took her home, and upon examination
it was found that only few Of the toes
were mashed. but no bones Of the ankle
were broken.

Maggie Mitchsll at the Grand Last Night
A large and refined audience ventured
out in the clustering wind and snow last
night to see, for perhaps the last time In
this city, one of Springield's favorites.
Maggie Mitchell. in her new play. Maggie,
the Midget" Miss Mitchell still retains
her peculiar style Of acting, which can be
handled by none but her alone. But in
many parts of her acting slight change
can be seen, which is undoubtedly due to
the little lady's fast increasing age. However.
aside from these almost unnoticeable defects.
she is still powerful actress, and this year
probably makes her all the more one of our
city's favorites. Her support was excellent
all through the play. Chas. Abbott, as
Hon. Capt Jack Falconer, was very fine;
Jas T. Galloway, r +. McClannin and
Fred Queen were others of the gentlemen
who deserve great praise for the highly
creditable manner in which they handled
their parts. Miss Lillian Andrews, Mrs.
d. B. Van Deeren, and Mrs. +. A. Eberle
were equally good. The play. it may be
said. did not please many of Miss Mitchell's
old hearers as much as her ''FachOn," or
pearls of Savoy" but to those who had
the pleasure of listening to her for the first
time no criticism could be found with the
piece. She perhaps is better suited to the
emotional style than that which is called
for in this play.

Xenia Bound to Have Gas II She Has to 60
to the Country for II.
The natural gas question seems to have
fallen to the ground in Xenia. so far as bOr-
ing for the thing Is concerned, at least for
the present, but we hear story that may
revive the matter. 1t Is well on George
Filson's farm, some two miles west of this
city, on the upper BellbroOk pike. there is q
peculiar manifestation Of what seems
to be natural gas. From around
the pump stock and through the
cracks there issues with q Kissing sound
what appears to be gas. A paper placed
over crack will be blown away, and the
well, which is fifty-six feet deep, is fairly
charged with the gas, or whatever it is. Mr..
Filson will not allow light or fire near the
well for fear of an explosion. which would
injure the house near by. He intends, how
ever, to rig up means Of cOnfining it and
then attach rubber hose so that 1t can be
tested without danger.
A good many of the neighbors have been
to the well and some Of them feel very posi-
tive it is gas. There is no smell to it aud
the water in the well is perfectly fresh and
has no bad taste. The gas, of course, If it
be such, issues from crevice in the side Of
the well. Gazette.
