ishment than the Richburg Contest.
CHICAGO, July ia bloody smuggling
match took place in Chicago tonight with
out even the show of interference made by
the Mississippi authorities in the Sullivan
Kilrain affair. About 1900 people were
present, and the match was brought to an
end by the outcry of some of the spectators
that one of the combatants was be-
ing killed. The fighter whoru it
was feared might slay his opponent
outright was the giant negro. Peter Jack
son, of Australia. His victim was
Caucasian, the well-known pugilist,
Sailor" Brown. Jackson had agreed to
stop" Brown In six rounds, and large
wagers had been laid on each of the men.
The affair was announced to be in aid of
the striking miners at BraidwoOd, and was
Ostensibly to be a harmless boxing match.
tip was out however that it was to be
fight for blood. Persons who came
for gore were reassured when the gloves
were seen to be of the two-ounce hard
variety, and all the paraphernala of the
prize ring were lugged in. Though Jack
pressed the fighting furiously until he was
pounded almost into insensibility. At the
first onslaught, Jackson, in backing
away. accidentally fell over the ropes

On the negroes return, Brown met him with
a rapid succession of blows. Jackson, how
ever. stopped them easily, and went at
''the sailor" hammer and tongs, driving
him around the ring repeatedly. When the
three minutes allowed for round were
ended. Mr.. Brown was virtually
hors de combat. jackson came to
the scratch with q savage look on
his face. Brown was ! very groggy,
but pressed the fighting as before. The
black fellow, with his long reach. easily
repelled all attack, and time and again
knocked Brown head over heels, only to
find the irrepressible Sailor" rise up once
more mechanically as an automaton.
In this and the succeeding round
the efforts of Brown were pitt
able. He was bleeding profusely, and
scarcely able to raise his hands. The man
was too dazed to realize the punishment he
was getting.

could have knocked any of them through
the side of the car. If he had struck out,
some one would have received q long be-
remembered blow. The sight of clubs and
pistols was probably what caused him. to
the officers an example of his prowess as
hard hitter. There were enough officers
present, however, to overcome his giant
strength: One of them slipped the nippers
on one of his wrists. and then on the other.

Ivan gave In. He was pushed out of the
car as fast as the officers could make him
move. johnson was also handcuffed and
taken out. In the excitement Muldoon was
not arrested. but went on with Pat Cleary
and other friends of Sullivan.
The officers forced their way through the
crowd and placed their prisoners in car

each carriage. They drove through Church

Washington, w. G. Brien, A. j. Caldwell
and Thomas L. Dodd. Sullivan was surly
and very sour, but sat quietly, but never
moving except to open several telegrams
offering aid The city officers and the State
OF Mississippi were represented by Col: A.
:. Colyar, Judge Abram Demoss and City
Attorney Taylor.
Defendants petition for a writ of habeas
corpus was read, stating that he had been
arrested upon no process known to law,
and held without any charge against him,
and without shadow of legal authority.
He declared that he had committed no Of
fense against the laws of Tennessee. and
was not subject to legal restraint. He had
committed no felony in this or any other
State. The answer to this petition recited
that Chief of Police Clack had positive in
formation that Sullivan did commit crime
in the State of Mississippi, and that he be-
lieved this crime was penitentiary offenSe
to the laws of Mississippi.
Counsel discussed at length, and finally
Judge McAllister rendered his decision.
He was very emphatic in his opinion that
to hold Sullivan longer would be a most
arbitrary act on the part of the court; that
the officers had arrested him without war
rant, or authority of law; that tmisdemeanors
were not extraditable by the rulings of the
Tennessee courts and by precedents of
Governor TAYLOR. He therefore ordered
Sullivan released.
There was an immense crowd present,
and the decision of the Judge was greeted
with great applause. Sullivan was made
a hero Of and the town was his until he
left at o'clock for the East. Sullivan
and johnson went East via the l.. e. N.

Lowry they could be held until requisition
papers and officers reached there. But
hope vanished. however, when telegram
from Governor Taylor was received this
evening saying Sullivan had been released

then telegraphed points beyond Nashville
to arrest Sullivan and party, to which no
response has yet been received.
The kilrain party is also being pursued,
with chances of capture. They are chang
ing their original route Handsome re-
wards are offered for the capture of both
parties and their delivery to State officers,
which, If effected. they will be returned to

BALTIMORE, July 1.-THE statement that
Kilrain was drugged finds support among
the Baltimore sports who witnessed the
fight, but the motive seems to have been to
deaden pain rather than to cause his de-
feat. In the third round after Sullivan de-
livered his tremendous blow over Kilrain's
heart Mitchell held to his mouth sponge
dipped in a bucket, and after that Jake
