Dead Onto 1t.

| The constabulary and detective force Of
Butler were neatly fooled, Christmas night,
and it happened about this way.
During the day it was rumored about
town that pair OF Sharpsburg sluggers
we're coming to town, and intended to
fight here for purse Of SO, and three
fourths OF the door money, the other fourth
to 90 to the loser; and it was quietly eircu-
lated that the fight was to take place in q
hall mile or so out the plank road. That,
of course, was a blind; but the officers
thought it was true, and several of them
went out there. One constable borrowed
a revolver from certain storekeeper of
the town. and when the storekeeper asked
him the reason, he said there was TO be a
prize fight out the plank read and that they
were dead onto it. Other officers, to
guard against being fooled went out other
directions but, as the sequeI showed, they
were all fooled.
dance was held in Boos' Hall that
evening; and late that evening three Bat
Ter men W ent to Boos and rented the hall
for little sport and induced him to get
the yuuus folks out as early as possible.

the ball; the preliminaries were all
arranged in an hour or so, and at about !
O'Clock the two siuggers wentat each other
under rules that allowed Of three.minute
rounds with one minute rests.
Twenty eight rounds were fought, and
the man called Clinefelter is said TO have
had the best of the one called Mccoy, but
during the 28Lh round Cline pushed Mac
over the rops. ard for so doing the Referee
awarded the fight to Mccoy.
There was some fighting among the
spectators and between the friends Of the
:wo men over the decision, but quiet was
restored, and the crowd dispersed
