CHICAGO, April 6.-The twenty
members OF the 1st Regiment, In.uois
National Guard, who were arrested l.ist
night while Witnessing prize Sight be-
tween two members of that organiza-
tion, were arraigned in the Police Court
this morning. They stood before jus
tice Scully sniekering and hiding their
faces behind silk hats and perfumed
handkerchiefs until the Court was at q
loss to know whether he was fining
school girls or tennis players,
The Court read the law to the young
men and a cold shudder ran through
the crowd when it was learned that
everyone was liable to imprisonment
from one to five years in the peniten-
tiary. The officer unrolled a bundle
of material gathered from the floor of
the hall. First was Turkish towel,
still wet; then came pair of trunks, a
long rope and pair of rubber shoes,
two pairs of two-ounce boxing gloves
and finally moistened sponge.
at was only a friendly boxing con-
test,' said one of the men.
"Didn't Gaynor get his jaw broken?"
asked officer Tyrell. "Yes."
Didn't they strip and fight for a
prize medal or something?" yes"
"Didn't they go it for two rounds and
stop because Gaynor could not come to
the scratch?" "Yes."
"well, if that isn't a prize fight I'd
like to know it."
The young men each paid 81 cost.

CHAMBERLAIN, d. T., April THE
people on the passenger train from the
East on tho St. Paul Road yesterday had
an exciting experience near Mt. Vern n.
A prairie tire was raging around the
track, and the engineer, not knowing its
extent, ran into 1t, expecting to run
through to safety In a few moments. He
found the fire getting worse, however,
and fiually stopped, but could not run
back, as the flames behind had made the
track unsafe.
The passengers and train ha ds got out
and fought the FIRE, but the danger kept
incr asing. Finally the engineer was
forced to proceed, as to remain still
would be fatal. 1t was feared that the
rails were warped, and The passengers ex.
pett-d u terrible accident but after what
seemed long period of suspense, the
train emerged from the smoke and flames
safely.
Several Of the passe gers who had en-
gsged 10 lighting the flames were burned.
