souvenir. Among the trnkets is a Grand
ArmY badge and various military emblems.

A DRAW FIGHT.
Burge and Johnson Battle Thirty
Seven Rounds,


One thousand people saw Jim Burge,
THE Iron Man" from the Antipodes, take a
supply of fistic medicine last evening that
would put to sleep any ordinary mortal. and
live through ii. He who administered the
Cruel was Charley johnson Of ST. Paul, who
grew very tired and leg weary in the at
tempt TO whip the winner Of 80 battles.
johnson punched Burge on the body and
face until he became disguised and finally
dsheartened at the manner in which the
iron man stood his ground.
Burge, Notwithstanding he was the re-
ceiver-general, so far as the taking of pun
ishment was concerned. always took the
aggressive part and continually kept John
son on the move until the thirtleth round,
when he quit fighting altogether and re-
NAMED on the defensive until the referee,
Paddy Ryan, declared the contest draw in
the thirtY-seventh round.
During the fight Burge warmed Johnson's
left side repeatedly with short right-hand
labs, which annoyed the st. Paul man very
much. He tried to land on JOhnson's jaw,
but being short in the reach he almost in
yarlabiq fell short. Johnson came very
near whipping himself in the attempt to
land on Burgess chin during the rallies. He
grew so tired and weary after the twenty
sixth round that when Burge made strong
attempt to land his right. johnson actually
wregled and fell against the ropes almost
helpless.
Burge was too far gone himself to put the
finishing touches on his opponent.
Before the fight commenced John Fergu-
son, who suspicioned that everything was
not on the square, directed the referee to
declare the purse originally offered and all
bets off.
Burge grew eloquent and indignant at
this action on the part of the management,
and addressed the spectators. He said that
ne had never fought flake" fight in his
| life, and did not intend to besmirch his
! pugilistic escutcheOn at his age of life by
| fighting unfairly and not in accordance
| with club rule.
The club viii give the contestants salts
| factory purse for the fight they put up.
| Although there was no result, the contest
ants certainly did their utmost TO please
! the club members, who seemed thoroughly
satisfied with the entertainment, which on
the whole was very good indeed.
The preliminary consisted Of an eight
| round contest between Joe King and Joe
| Cotton, cOlOred. This was stubborn con-
test and was won by King after some hard
! fighting was witnessed. Cotton was game,
and might have turned the tables on his op-
| ponent if the contest had gone to finish.

Brutality Beaten.

George r Lawson. Thomas Mshoney and
William A. Pease were arrested last night
for battery and disturbing the peace.
The complainant was an old whte-haired
man named Whitney. who was witness
against Larsen in the Police Court one week
ago. Whitney then asserted that Lawson
and a woman named Rosie Lawrence en-
tered his room and beat him. The case was
tried and the accused was acquitted. He
met Whitney in a Kearny-street restaurant
Yesterday afternoon and attacked him.
Whitney was kicked and beaten until he
was hardly able TO stand. Larsen, Pease
and MaboDey, who are accused of having
aided Larsen in his assault upon the ola
man, were arrested. Whitney refuses to
say ANYTHING about the case.

the takers of these long odds is that in the
Seventh Precinct OF the Thrty-second As
bly, district a change will take place. In
that precinct Duudon has twenty-three
more votes than any other Democrat on the
ticket, and the superstition is that there is
something wrong about the figures. There
are still tUenty-eight precincts to count,
and Mr.. Clunie, who is looking out for Mr.
Dundon's interests, says that a sufficient
gain will be made to offset any losses aud
insure the election Of the Democratic can
difate.
Yesterday the Thirty-sixth District was
counted and Dundon made some large gains
in few of the precincts. and it Is thought
that the gain win continue in some OF the
precincts TO come.

Cut With a penknife.

Peter Clarity. boy II years old, was ar

with penknife. He was taken to the
Southern police station, where he was
charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
Mahern was taken 10 the Receiving Hospi-

WHO RUNS THE COURT?
Difference of Opinion Between Judge
and Prosecuting Attorney.


and Prosecuting Attorney.
One of those Interesting events that break
the usual mon0tony of proceedings in the
police courts occurred yesterday in Judge
CampbelPs court.
Several attorneys were anxious to have
their cases heard. each being only to take
moment, but Prosecuting Attorney Reed
wanted to bring up the case OF assault with
intent to murder against Harvey Rayn.
One attorney was particularly persistent
as he had been twice before put off and his
case would occupy only few minutes.
Judge Campbell mildly suggested that
this attorneys case ought to be heard.
mo, your Honor said Mr.. Reed: II
have given way too much already, and the
should have been on tweney minutes ago."
WELL" said Judge Campbell. II think |
will hear the other case, as it won't take
but a minute"

such il is for me to say what case shall be

the Judge, "as TO how | shall run this court,
and say again that the Rayn case can wait

Mr.. Reed. Il am tue prosecuting att0r-
ney."
''Sit down. STRIP interrupted the Judge.
