DEADwooD, S. D., Jan. l9.-Today
an unsuccessful effort, unsuccessful be,

by a large crowd of railroad graders ON a
strike, to take possession of the east
bound passenger train of the Fremont,
Eikhorn & Missouri Valley, and they
were only prevented by the presence OF
the sheriff with a large number of depu-
ties, who had taken possession of the
platforms of the cars and thus kept the
strikers off. The trouble grew out of a
refusal OF the company to issue transport
alton to the graders which, as they claim,
was stipulated in their contract of work
on the road, returning them to the point
Of employment. The strikers are still in

NEW YORK, Jan. I9-The sports OF
Chinatown have received a setback.
When it was announced last week in Chi
nese sporting circles that a match had
been arranged between little Wong Hoy
aud the giant, Lee Yen, to fight to a fin
isb, according to approved Chinese meth
DDS, the sports all had, or thought they
had, a surething. They backed Lee Yen
to a man. Wong Hoy operates a laundry
at Hartford. Conn. He weighs bat 100
pounds and stands five feet FIVE inches in
his stocking feet. Wong Hoy prides him
self on his athlotc powers and paid fire.
queDt visits to this city in the hope of find
ing an antagonist willing to meet him in
the prize ring. As a result his countrymen
fought shy of his proposals. When \ en-,
however. waited his giant figure among
the celestial sports thev were happy.
Here was a man who would soon wipe the
boasttul Wong from off the face Of the
earth. Lee Is six feet two inches tall and
weighs DDS pounds, The fight came off
in a store on Pell street, all the Chinese
sports being present.

then the fight began. The giant reached
out for the little fellow, but the latter was
not there. In a fash he had dived be
tween the giants legs. Then camo an up
ward heave and the giant lay sprawling
upon the floor. This was Wong's oppor-
tunity. With wonderful quickness he
had delivered his PROSTATE foe a kick in
the stomach, then he jumped aud came
down with both feet upon Lees head,
tanning the latter's face into the boards
and causing the blood to flow lively. The
little fellow was everywhere at once, and
as for the giant, he simply was not
IN it
In less than four minutes he was
gouged and pounded into iusensibihty,
whereupon the fight was given to Wong.
Wong still insists he can lick any China
