strength would stay by him In finish bat
tie, mis- courage would not. In desperate

gameiy fought down his man, round after
round, till his opponents nature gave way.
It was not science against strength, as many
believe. Kilrain bore out in yesterday 9
conflict all that has been claimed for him in
the way OF fstic knowledge and attain

wonderful skill.
The morning was clear end pleasant, a

the sun seemed to temper its rays very
kindly for the benefit of the spectators and
fighters But this pleasant condition OF
affairs did not remain long, for soon the sun
became fercely hot, the wind died out, and
then came an hour or two OF the hottest
weather ever experienced by many of the
spectators
Kilrain won frat fall and also won first
blood BY smash on Sulivan's left ear with
his right, but was first to be knocked down.
From Kilrain's manner of fighting no one
who cav the battle can doubt that the best
man won it, Kilrain did some marvellous
ducking, and got to earth repeatedly to
avoid punishment in way that disgnsted
many of the experts. He was not injured
seriously. His lips and cheeks were swol-
len, as was his nose, and his Left ribs will be
tender for some days but hs worst hurt
was the agony of defeat. Kilrain said he
had done his best, but was not as well as
be should have been. He had some talk of
having been drugged, but there Is no proba

speaking of the result of the fight but
made no excuse. except that he might have

5000 feet front of brick and stone
structures in Spokane Falls city,
where two months ago all was
ruin. 1t further says: "Old-time
residents are frequently observed
to halt, while passing along the
streets, and cast their eyes about
in an endeavor to locate certain
new building among the bewilder-
ing multitude Of new brick struc-
lures that are being piled higher
with each succeeding day. A
large number of the new brick
blocks are now up SO high that
they can be seen from almost any
part Of the city. A contractor
says: i have been in a great many
towns and have been a contractor
for twenty years, but l never in my
life saw brick and stone buildings
go up as they are going up in Spo-

A FREE MAN.-On last SUNDAY
evening, Curtis Baird was released
from the Oregon penitentiary at
Salem, after serving nearly a four
years. term for the crime of OBJ
tanning money under false pre-
lenses, he having, while county
superintendent of schools for
Clackamas county, created a false
school district and appropriated to
his own use the warrants drawn in
favor of the teachers and for the
various expenses Of the district.
So neatly did he conceal informa-
ton of the bogus district that the
crime was not detected until the
books were turned over to his sue
cessor, who was of course unable
to find such district. Mr.. Baird is
a very highly educated gentleman,
and has been known by this writer
for a number of years past. He
acted as clerk on a senate COM
mittee during the session of the
Oregon legislature in the winter of
'S5 and was member Of the legis-
lature of California previous to
his making his residence in Oregon.
He has a respected and well-liked
family residing in Oregon City at,
present. Many a pleasant hour
has been spent in his company
listening to his pleasing and inter-
esting conversation. 1t is hoped
that he will in the future, be con-
tent with earning money only in
an honest way.
