BANTAM DIXON.
He Defeats willis for the Worlds
Championship.
a Rafting Five-Round Battle at the Califor
mia Athletic Club-The Winner Retires
Without Blemish.

The great international battle for the
bantam weight championship of the world,
between George Dixon (colore0 of Boston
and Abe Willis OF Australia was fought
last night and won by the former.
To-day Dixon can celebrate two events in
his life-his requirement of the champion
ship and his twenty-first birthday. The
purse offered by the California Club was
5000. out of which the loser got $50.
The contest excited considerable interest
in America, England and Australia, from
the fact that Dixon had already won the
championship OF England by defeating
Nunc Wallace, and of America by lowering
the colors of Cal Mccarthy.
Willis, after having whipped everything
in Australia that was entitled to battle in
his class, came to this country in the hope
of gaining fresh laurels, and, through the
advice Of Major Mclaughlin, the Directors

Some of the results at the Preside are
available for comparison and, it may be
added, for instruction. They have at least
a tendency to dispel any Illusions that may
have been left as to the availability of the
ordnance at the Preside and Black Point.
In general way, it may be said that the
ordnance would only be dang rous, as the

saloon on Sunday night and called for
a drink. Three toughs ranged them
selves up alongside of him and de-
manded drinks. Davidson refused,
whereupon they knocked him down,
kicked him into insensibility and
threw him into the alley. He was found
half an hour later by policeman, who
took Davidson to drug store, had his
wounds temporarily dressed, and then
sent him to his home, where he now
lies in a critical condition.

On the second day of this

could command the reasons
why Merchandise should be
sold cheap at retail in JAN

reasoning would be applied
to our own business.
The results have been ex-
traordinary.
Our statement Of the case
has been copied verbatim
and credit given for it by va
rlous newspapers throughout
the country. The same is
true of others of our adver.
tisements this month. The
ideas have been appropriated
freely under various forms
and by many dealers in many
places. We are confirmed
in our notions by their effects
upon the trade Of the com-
try.
The direct results to or1
own business have distaneed
expectation. Where sound
reasoning and consistent
practice unite the conse.
quences are irresistible. This
lis proven by theway in which
this common-sense commu

County itself Is divided upon the Five
County Democratic Commissioned bill.
Those who believe in fair play say the
Republicans carried the county and
are entitled to rule. They go farther,
and say that II they are tenied the
fruits of their victory that they will
help them to secure another.
The honest way is the best way.
Pass a commissioner bill for three
commissioners TO be elected at the
next election, no voter voting for
more than two. This is fairand square,
but IL the Legislature will pass com
missioner bill to go into effect imme-
diately then let a majority of those
commissioners be Republicans. This
would be fair, gentlemen Of the Legis-
lature, and any other course that
counteracts the will of the majority
will be unfair.
