SPOKANE FALLS, w. T., April s.
One of the hardest fought pugilistic
battles ever witnessed in Spokane Falls
took place last night. The principals
were Thomas Stockley, of Cotton, and
Paddy Welch, formerly Of st. Cloud,
MINI. After eighteen rounds the con-
test was decided in favor of Stockley.
A twenty-rOund contest was advertised
to take place between these two men at
the American Resort theater Wednes-
day night. but on account of the inter-
ference of the authorities the fight was
postponed. The men were anxious to
meet, and they got certain club to ar
range the fight and time and place
of meeting. The matter was kept
exceedingly quiet, and only fifty people
were present. Each contestant was al
lowed two friends. Stockley was in
prime condition and showed up in
splendid form. He weighed 142 pounds.
Welsh was not in the best of condition,
and showed signs of recent dissipation,
but he had about twenty pounds the
best of Stockley. Four-ounce gloves
were used and Marquis of Queensbury
rules. Eighteen rounds were fought,
but Welch was virtually whipped in
the third round. Stockley pushed the
fight,and was the aggressor all through.
while Paddy acted on the defensive.
Nothing very interesting occurred In
the first two rounds. In the
third round Stockley caught Welch
under the right eye and the claret
flowed freely, thus giving Stockley first
blood. During the next ten rounds
they did some very clever fighting.
Welch made some fine counters at his
opponent but they were all without
effect. 1t was give and take, but Welch
took the most. In the eleventh round
Stockley made the most clever and sci
entific hit of the evening, catching
Welch on the left elbow which COM
pletely disabled his left arm, but he
bravely faced his antagonist with one
hand until after the eighteenth round,
when he saw it was useless and gave up
the fight

hue Fight Four Desperate
Rounds.
SHAMoKIN, Pa, April 5.-A desperate
prize fight of four rounds. with skin
gloves, Queensberry rules, took place
at 2 O'Clock this morning in club room
between ''Clipper" Donohue. of Phila-
delphia, and Ben Wilson, of Newark,
N. j. Sixty people paid 50 apiece to wit
ness the contest. The stakes were 500,
the winner to receive two-thirdS of the
gate receipts and the loser the balance.
When DonOhue and Wilson (who is col
ored) faced each other for the fight, the
audience told the principals they were
brought here to fight, and they wanted
no taking. LII the struggle that followed
the spectators had more than enough.
The cOmbatantS displayed much science,
and Slugged each other in terrible
manner.
Round One-Four seconds after time
was called Wilson landed a Highlander
an Donohue's nose, causing the blood
to squirt. The negro followed the blow
by another heavy one on his antago-
nist's forehead, causing the blood to
flow, momentarily binding the clipper.
Round TwO-Both men responded
readily. Donohue's face was swollen
SohoioClaUlys diiu uC was iUdu Wllcli tliS
negro laughed at his appearance. The
clipper got in his work by planting his
left in Wilson's eye and two terrific
ones on his neck which brought him Oh
his knees.
Round Three-Both men gave a sell
entitic display for two minutes. Their
previous rushing had begun to tell, but
before time was up there were some
wicked blows given.
Round Four-The combatants ham,
mered each other in such a shocking
manner that several persons left the
room. At the close of the round Dono-
hue's face was frightfully battered, his
left eye was closed, and he was barely
able to see out of his right, and his face
was covered with blood and bruises.
Wilson was also bleeding profusely and
his body covered with bruises. When
the next and last round was called the
men showed no signs of flunking. The
blows given were light, both men being
groggy. In the last minute of the
round Wilson struck Donohue below
the belt and the referee gave the battle
to the Pbiladelphian.
