showed cut on his nose, though
no claim for first blood was heard
from the Dixon people. In n not
exchange that took place in coun-
tering Skelly got the worst OF it, re-
ceiving heavy left on the forehead,
though he delivered good right on his
opponents body to even matters up.
Dixon was very strong, and in an at
tempt to land right swing he re-
ceived hot one from Skelly's right
Skelly stole in and landed on Dixon's
Jaw, and in rally which took place in
Skelly's corner he got great deal the
worst oft. The battle now took 100
to shot for Dixon, who went to his
corner strong and unhurt, though he
was breathing heavy from his work.
Fifth Round-Skelly skipped nimbly
to the center of the ring, wearing con-
tident air, seemingly unhurt. The men
boxed for an opening and Dixon found
it first, landinga heavy right on Skelly's
ribs. Both attempting to land lefts on
the head and missing, the men clinched.
Dixon received a heavy left on the head
and gave as good rs he got, A little
later on Sicily was his guard and he re-
ceived heavy right hand punch in the
nose. Dixon nearly knocked his oppo-
nent down with heavy right, and in q
hot exchange. out OF which skelly came
covered with blood, he seemed to be
losing ground rapidly. This was posi-
lively the colored boys round.
Sixth round-The men stepped up
briskly and came to clinch. Dixon
landed heavy left hand swing, though
he got q terrible right on the ear. lie
was much stronger than his opponent,
however, and the manner in which he
offered battle showed his confidence in
himself. Dixon received heavy right
on the neck, though his opponent was
growing weak. In a fearful exchange
OF blows Dixon landed two terrible
punches on Skelly with both hands on
head and body. Tho battle so far was
all one way, and tho White boy fooked
as if he could not last through another
round.
THE FINISH.
Seventh Round-Dixon commenced
this round by an attempt to land a left.

ARKANsAs ELECTION.
1t Goes Democratic as Usual@rho Negro
RefuSo to Vote,

II Coos Democratic as Usunl-The Negroes
Refuse to Vote.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Sept. 6.-0fficial
and unofficial returns OF yesterdays
elections have been received from
thirty-two counties giving Democratic
maiorities ranging from twenty-five to
100. The only Republican majority
is reported from Jefferson, which is 400.
1t has heretofore given 500 Republican
majority. Partial returns from Critten-
den, q Republican stronghold in Eastern
Arkansas, gave a Democratic majority
OF 200. In some towns in Western Ar
kansas Whipple and Carnahan, Repub-
lican and Populist candidates for gov
ernor, failed TO receive any votes. This
city will give majority OF over 700 for
Fishback. The majority for Fishback
in thirty counties land this includes
five counties in which there are large
negro vote) is 1880.
It is impossible to correctly estimate
the majority Fishback will receive on
account OF the popularity OF the vote.
The failure to rally the negroes and
their refusal to vote have non-plussed
the political mathematiclans. Fish
back will probably receive majority
in every county in the state except
Phillips, Jefferson, Chico and searcey.
Another dispatch says: Owing to
the Australian ballot system the vote
was largely reduced, the illiterate
negroes not voting,
The result is the expression Of Ark
ansas voters who arc able to read and
write, the Australian ballot system
having kept from the polls those who
were unable to prepare their own
tickets and were unwilling to acknow-
ledge their ignorance by requesting the
Judge to scratch their ballots for them.

NOMINATING JUDGE SEVERANCE.

w. B. Davies and Thos. Hughes
started out with petition Monday
securing signatures (under the
Australian system) for the nominal
tion of M. J. Severance as Judge Of
the Sixth Judicial district. Similar
petitions will be circulated in other
counties of the district, and as re-
suit there will be no Judicial Conven-
tions called.
Under the provisions of the Austria
liam system, a candidate for Office can
run as non-partisan by securing sig
natures to petition of one per cent
of the votes of the district in which
he resides. Judges Stark and Caldwell
have been nominated in like manner,
and this means the District Judge
ships are taken out of politics and
given into the hands of the people
There is no more popular judge
in the state than Mr.. Severance, and
the people of the district will be only
too glad to show their high apprecia-
tion of him as jurist and a gentle
man by placing their names to the
petitions now being circulated.

EXCHANGED SHOTS.

A dispatch sent from Kasota Monday
night to the Pioneer Press says:
The general store of M. A. OS-
trander & Co. was entered about
O'Clock this morning by a burglar.
Eugene G. Donahue, a clerk sleeping
in an adjoining room, hearing some
one at the jewelry case slipped into
the room and fired. The compliment
was returned. Five shots, were fired,
three by the clerk and two by the
burglar, who escaped through a back
window which he had pried open with
an iron bar. None of the shots took
effect, but the call for Eugene was
very close. The case contained about
$500 of goods. When the attack was
made the burglar had begun filing a
large satchel, but had to drop it and
flee for his life.

THEY DRANK ACONITE.

The family of Henry Lang had a
narrow escape from death Saturday.
1t will be remembered that on the
night of July 4th, Lang brutally
pounded his wife and was locked up
for it. Mrs. Lang went tu DR.. Hill
scher and got liniment for her bruis-
eS and was given a mixture of one-half
tincture of aconite and one-half dilut-
ed alcohol, put in bottle plainly la
beled alcohol "Linament. Saturday
Lang bruised a finger and his wife
told him to use some of her liniment.
While applying it, he smelled
the alcohol and was SO tempt
ed to drink that he took a
large swallow Saying that it was
whiskey, handed the bottle to his
wife, who also took a draught. Then
they gave the baby taste. Very soon
all were writhing with pain, and a
neighbor sent for DR.. Webster, who
found Lang trying to climb up the
wall. He arrived at four O'Clock, or
an hour after the dose had been swal-
lowed, and applied an emeJic hyper
dermically. Lang was wild at the
time and it required the strength
of several men to hold him.
His wife fell to the floor unconscious
and almost ceased to breathe, turning
black in the face. Mrs. Lang was
brought to in an hour, but it was $50
O'Clock before Lang was recovered.
The baby did not get much and did
not suffer much. The parties were all
right today.

ON THE TRAIL

j. w. Hartshorn, of Chicago, special
agent OF the American Express Co.,
and f. d. Adams, of St. Paul, division
superintendent of the company, were
in the city Monday looking up further
facts in connection with the Kasota
train robbery. He stated to a FREE
PRESS reporter that he was as conf
dent as he could be of anything that
the Contant boys and Evans are the
ones wanted, and believes that they
have been engaged in six train robber-
les. He stated that the alleged inter
view with him in Chicago was not
correct in all respects, especially
as regards dates and names
He feels confident that the men will
be captured, and that it is merely a
matter of time. He took the after
noon train for ST. Paul.
The following dispatch from Visalia,
Cali, was published in the St. Paul
papers yesterday:
UeoISe oOnUdg, VINO Is cOnnneQ IN
Jail here On charge of being connect
ed with the train robbery near Fres-
no, made bold effort to escape this
evening. Frank Williams, another
prisoner, stepped into Sontag's cell in
stead OF his own. A large hole had
been cut in the top of the cell some
time during the day, and it was un-
doubtedly the intention of the man
to enter the corridor through the cell
and then dig out through the wall.
The jailor had his suspicious aroused
and went to Sontag's cell in time to
prevent his escape. He entered the
upper floor, opened Sontag's door and
the train rObber was taken out and
fitted with an Oregon boot. In his
cell was found case knife made into
saw and also a pocket knife. An
Oregon boot and ball and chain were
put on SOntag.

SENATOR SHERMAN REVIEWS HIS
ATTACK"

Senator Sherman renewed his at
tack and refused to be convinced even
by the oratory of the Iowa Senator.
He wanted the Senate to do the
straightforward thing, and not fizzle
about it.
'"Give the fair S., 100000 and do not
make believe that you are deceiving
yourself in giving it 70-cent silver
dollar, or two 35-cent half-dollars. If
the children cry for it, as the Senator
has said they did, "Why not give them
Castoria?" He knew that it was a
popular thing with the little ones,
more popular he thought than even
the souvenir half-dollars would be.
The galleries looked down in surprise
as these remarks came from Sherman,
and congressman who entered the
chamber just as Mr.. Sherman uttered
them, dropped into the vacant chairs
nearest the door.
