Slusger Sullivan Says He Will Not Fight
Maher at ALL
LEAvENwORTH, KAS., Feb. 12-E Special
Shortly before John L. Sullivan boarded
the train here this morning for Atchison,
Kas., where he appeared tonight, he was
shown the Chicago dispatch in the morning
papers to the effect that he had signed ar
ticles of agreement to fight Peter Maher to
finish with five-ounce gloves, Marquis of
Queensbury rules, before the Metropolitan
Club, of New Orleans, for purse of $685.
900 and a side bet of $4,000 providing
Maher whips Fitzsimmons in the approach
ing mill. ....-..-...-
The big slugger looked hard at the re-
porter and said: cts a bloody lie made
out of the whole cloth. 1 suppose the story
originated with Foxy Madden, Peter
Maher's backer. 1 say most emphaticslly
that 1 have signed no agreement, nor have
/ seen any agent of the Metropolitan Club
of New Orleans. These fellows are all
great buffers and blusterers and don't mean
business. They are afraid to put up their
stuff as guarantee that they want to meet
me in ring

Township Election Records

STEUBENvILLE, Feb. -. - Especial i
Judge Pearce rendered a very important
decision to-day in the case of the State
against Bart Porter, indicted for selling Ii
quor in prohibition township Other vio-
lations Of the local option law have been
dealt with very severely by the Court, but
in this case attorneys for the defense at
tackled the validity of the township records
which had been read to show that prohibi-
tion had been adopted.
The Court sustained the opinion of the
attorneys of the defense and held that the
record of the prohibition election in Saline
township was insufficient, for the reason
that it is necessary that the records show
the same proceedings were had as in the
election of township officers The record in
this was deficient i'll several respects. Pros
ecuting Attorney Erskine took exceptions
10 the decision and the matter will be car
ried to the Circuit Court 1t is likely that
another election will be held, but it will
require 60 days before the law can take
effect.
