PRIZE FIGHT IN KINGMAN.
How Spectators Settled Matters to Their
 Entire Satisfaction. From the Kingman Miner

How Spectators Settled Matters to Their
 Entire satisfaction.
 From the Kingman Miner
 Kingman was treated to the..frst prize fight since the town was settled. The fistic encounter was between stranger named McCaffrey and John Lee, a col ored resident of the town, the mill being for the gate receipts amounting to some thing over s3p. Two Kingman. gentle men were appointed referee and time. keeper, and at 1 20 time was called. The com batants stepped to the center of the ring and shook hands.
 McCaffrey looked like a midget along side of his big opponent. The round was opened by McCaffrey leading for Lees face, but fell short and received a light blow in the face in return. Me. again lead off and landed lightly on Lees nose, causing the ruby to slowly trickle down over his face. Lee struck out viciously with his right but McCaffrey cleverly ducked the blow, but received backhanded blow on the neck which almost lifted him off his pins. McCaffrey again landed his right on the nose of his bnrly opponent and the claret com menced to flow freely Some iniighting now took place and in the breakaway McCaffrey landed heavily on Lees neck which caused the briny fluid to well up lntq the latter's dark orbs and slowly trickle down his cheeks. A clinch fol. lowed and Lee succeeded in throwing his man heavily to the ground. A foul was claimed by McCafrey, and pending settlement, Lee walked to his corner and sat down.
 On being informed by the timekeeper that time had not been called, McCaffrey rushed over to Lees corner and smashed him heavily on the nose. Lee rose in great wrath and seizing bottle filled with whisky, brought it down with ter rife force on the luckless head of his antagonist. Blinded with the fluid, Me- Caffrey was helpless, but the specta- tors rallied to his assistance and the darkey was pounded unmercifully for a few minutes. This round settled the fight, which was accordingly awarded to McCaffrey. The fight was intended to have been fought under Marquis of Queensbury rules but wound up under the rules of the Marquis of Blackberry.
