Fight That His Father Witnessed.
CINCINNATI, January 2s.-Charles
Vokes, well known prize fighter, and
Bob Brown, a young man who never
fought in a professional ring before,
met last night. 1t will probably prove
fatal to Brown. About 80 Cincinnati
sports boarded a ferry boat with the
two contestants and went down the
river.
For thirteen rounds it was bruising
contest, the honors being even, in the
fourteenth round Vokes gave Brown a
full length upper cut which met him
full on the jaw. Time was called for
the fifteenth round and Brown, more
dead than alive, tried to stagger in.
Vokes hit him again and he fell In q
heap. Browns father, who was spec
tator, then rushed in and stopped the
fight. The contest was given to Vokes.
Brown was carried away on stretcher
apparently in a dying condition.

Horrors of the Russian Famine-Horses
Killed for Food.

Horrors of the Russian Fanine-Horses
Killed for Food.
A dispatch from Penza. capital OF the
Government OF that name, in the south
western part of what is known as Great
Russia, says that the thermometer regis
tiers SO degrees below zero. and that there
is terrible suffering among the peasants
number OF men have been frozen TO death
on the high roads. and so intensely cold Is
it that birds drop dead from the trees In
which they had sought shelter. None OF the
children of Penza are allowed to go to school.
A quantity of grain for the famine SUI
ferers has arrived at Penga, but II Is I'M
possible to distribute 1t among the peas
ants in the surrounding country owing 10
the fact that nearly all the horses have
been killed for food or sold to procure
money with which to buy the absolute
necessaries of life. Five thousand horses
have been killed in Penza alone, and 1t Is
estimated that several million draft AMI
mails have been killed throughout the en-
pire since autumn. Typhus fever. small
box and diphtheria are decimating the
inhabitants. Around PenZa 200 OF the
peasants have died from these diseases
The dispatch adds that in the Governments
| OF Samara, Saratov and Mini Novgorod'
the condition is far worse than In Penza.
