MILAN. Tenn, April 14.-News

which took place Saturday afternoon
at Brazil. John Gibson and viii
liam Knox fell in love with Miss
Carrie Moss, and have been paying
marked attention to her for the past
few months, neither, however seem
ing to make much progress. A few
days since the young men got to-
gether to talk the matter over, and
as they could come to no pleasant
agreement, it was decided, with the
young lady's consent, TO settle the
matter by a fight Of six rounds, Miss
Moss to act as referee. Saturday
afternoon they went out one mile
south Of Brazil, attended by Miss
Moss and four friends. The two
combatants leaped into the ring,
grasped each others hands and the
fair referee called time. smiling at
both. Knox made feint with his
right which Gibson easily parted.
and letting drive his left sent his OPP
ponent TO the earth. Little fighting
was done in the second, third and
fourth rounds. In the fifth round
II was plainly seen that Gibson was
being worsted, though he was deter
mined. He rushed ut Knox who
knocked him down with a heavy
left-hander. This dazed Gibson
and he was easily knocked down
again, and failing to come to time the
fight was given to Knox. Then the
girl threw herself into Knox's arms

What 1t Costs to Die in Mexico.

Mexico City is, In fact, very expensive
place in which to die. A funeral costs
$500 at the least, if it is at all respectable,
and in the case of foreigners the expenses
run up into the thousands. This is especi-
ally so when it is desired to take the bodies
out of the country. If the friends of the
dead are not posted all sorts of extravagant
charges are imposed upon them, and the
estate of Kansas millionaire named
Smith paid $1,000 for expenses here.
Among the charges was one of $500 for en-
balming, and l heard of case yesterday in
which q Mexican embalmer or doctor
charged S., 900 for preparing the body of
Frenchman who died here for shipment.
The work was not properly done and the de-
ceased could not be sent away, whereupon
one of the American newspapers published
an article as to the outrageous charge.
The doctor then brought suit against the
paper, saying it was true he had brought
in the bill for embslming as stated, but as
the body had decomposed before he began
he was not able to preserve it and had
withdrawn the bill. Had the newspaper
not published the fact the bill would hard
" have been withdrawn. Everything,
