The Austin Statesman reproduces
a highly sensational dispatch from a
London paper purporting to have
emanated from Austin and giving
the minute particulars of disgrace
full murder alleged to have occurred
at the state capital The dis
patch represents the killing as
having taken place in a
saloon on the most public street and
in such 4 manner and under such
circumstances as to reflect severely
upon the civilization of the entire
state. The statesman SAYS the
alleged killing in every particular
was absolutely false and purely
fictitious. These are the kind of

A LIVELY COOKING MAIN

An interesting cooking main took place
last night out Mt Fulton in the pit con.
nected with Lawrence Heller's place.
The fights were not numerous, but they
were bloody and exciting, and the fifty
odd sports who were spectators
Of the brutal amusement ap-
peared to be thoroughly we'll pleased
with the entertainment. Most
OF the audience was from this city, and
all the birds we're local fighters. Some
OF the birds were from the Island and
Fulton furnished others. The first fight
was between two reds and two pittings
settled it. The second was between a
red and grey, and was long and excit-
ing, over dozen pittiugs being had be.
fore one was the victor. Tho third
was between two reds, and the
birds not being well matched in
weight, the heavier soon won the
battle. The fourth fight was the great
one ofthe evening. TWAS between two
reds, one OF them being the victor OF
the first fight. In the early part Of this
engagement this feathered warrior had a
leg broken, but he continued to fight so
gamely that long odds were put on bin.
Over ten pittings were had before the
disabled bird got the stroke that ended
his career. =,
