HUMAN BRUTES.
They Fight Like FerociOus Beasts for
Twenty Eight Rounds.

They Fight Like Ferocious Beasts for
Twenty Eight Kounds.
New YORK, July 26.-A prize fight re-
markable for astonishing brutality took
place yesterday morning at a sporting resort
on Long Island between Tim Tomaldy and
Bill HogRart, light weights. When time
Was called they went at each other like
game cocks, hammer and tonRs, from be-
ginning to end. For twenty rounds of the
twenty-eiaht fought, 1T was nip and tuck.
Each punished the other severely, but
neither seemed to have any decisive ad-
vantage.
The combatants were literally dripping
with gore. There were only twelve persons
present, including principals, and though
they were old and hardened veterans Of
many years of sporting experience they
WINGED at the savagery they saw.
II almost amounted to butcherv.
Both young fighters had terrific hit
ting powers and they were absolutely
mercless in using them. Finally, when
they both had been banged into jelly, in
the twenty eighth round, Tomaldy, by a
lucky blow. caught Hoggart on the jugular,
and the latter reeled, dazel aud helpless
for several seconds after he had been
counted out. Neither one was satisfied
with the result, and is thought that they
will meet again.

FOUL PLAY OR BILLINGS WHISKY.

The Bodies of Two Crow Indians Found
on the Railroad Track.
BILLINGS, July 26.-[Special. 1.-Two Grow
Indians named Dog and Big Nose were run
over and killed by the Atlantic express west
of the bridge over the Yellowstone, about
two miles from Billings, at 2:20 this morn
ing. Their bodies were frightfullv man
gled. The train was backed up and the con-
duotor, finding one of the bodies, supposed
they had killed only one. He wired back
to Billings and reported that the body was
cold. DIR. Chapple empaneled a coroner's
jury, and took them down to the reserva-
tion, where the Crows. had already buried
the bodies. and had them exhumed. The
inquest adjourned to tomorrow to take the
evidence of the train men. as one head bears
marks of wound that might have possibly
been inflicted before the collision with the
train. An outcast Indian named Merecatta
Jim told the bridge tender before the ar
rival of the train that two Crows we're sick
with "heap whiskey'' up the track, and
Jim himself bore evidence of too free in
dulgence. Jim could not be found to-day
There is, therefore, some question whether
foul play or Billings whisky is the cause of
death. Each of the squaws of the dead
men had cut off two of their own fingers in
mourning for the departed bucks, and
raised a great lamentation when the bodies
were resurrected,
