A BLOODY SET-TO.
heavyweight sIugging Match Stopped
BY Police.

by HOl1ces
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Jim Hall, the Austral-
ian midde-weight, and Bob Ferguson, the
stockyards heavyweight, had bloody set-to
tonight at Battery ID before 5000 people.
The affair was engineered by Parson Davies,
and Hall's contract was So stop the giant in
six rounds. Both men were in good con-
dition, and the gloves used were not large.
Hall was conceded to be greatly Ferguson's
superior in science, but the latter's admirers
pinned their faith on the stockyard mans
great strength and size. The Australian led
from the start and promptly smashed Fergu-
son in the face twice, almost before the
sparring seemed fairly begun. Another
stinger followed on Ferguson's jaw, and was
succeeded later on by pile-drlVer on the
nose. The giant worked hard, but practically
never touched Hall in the first round.
The second was spent in sparrng for wind.
Ferguson's face looked like a beefsteak. In
the third heavy slugging again ensued.
The fourth round began with Ferguson
hemmed in his corner by Hall, who was smash
ing Ferguson right and left. Suddenly the giant
got corker in the jaw and dropped in heap,
though not unconscious. At this point the
fight was stopped by the police. No decision
was rendered by the referee.

October "a will long be remember
ed by every white ribboner and the
friends of temperance, because of the
grand victory gained over the saloon
power in Stratford, Conn. The voters
at the late election had given the town
license by a small majority. There
never seemed a better opening for a
liquor saloon in the center or business
part of the town, and, too, the very
building which could be used was va
cant and awaiting purchase. An
applicant came, backed by moneyed
men, influential 10 that particular
business, large stakeholder in the

buy the building could they get Ii

at the town hall. Special meetings

The Judge arose and with solemn dig

while he repeated these words: The

Then commenced the examination

SUMNER ITEMS.

The pleasant excitement attending
the happy days" has IN a measure
subsidized. In our little town there
were family reunions. formal dinner
parties, and Christmas trees despite
the inclement weather
The Lone Tree gathering was the
most enjoyable affair The delight of
the little ones knew no bounds; the
double tree was loaded with gifts of
all kinds. An elegant autograph al
bum attracted the attention of Mr.
Elmer Hester, who remarked that
some one would get a nice present;
his surprise and pleasure may be i'm
agined when later in the evening, it
was handed to him as testimonial of
his scholars affection. A very appro-
pirate program of songs and recita-
tions was well carried out, and all
were more than satisfied. Among the
humorous incidents were the presents
for Messrs Monk and Griffin; their
delicate appetites are SO widely known
that some thoughtful person had pro-
vided a parcel of frIed-cak for them.
Unfortunately neither were present
to afford the amusement intended.
However the cakes were eaten the
next day and pronounced almost as
good as mothers"
Messrs Jas. Griffin and Geo. Rob
erts with their families entertained
friends the 18th.
According to hear-ssy, the Rich
ards-Smith Xmas-tree was a success
as well as the one at Mr. Coolers.
