A ROW OVER A DANCE.
CHURCH PEOPLE OBJECTED TO
TIE USE OF A SCHOOL.


The School Board Yields TO the Pres
sure and Withdraws Permission.
The City Council Abolishes the
School Board and Allows the School
to Be Used-Tsken Into the Courts.
ATLANTA, GA, March z. - The
Granite City Guards, a new military
organization OF LithO mia, a small town on
the Georgia road, sixteen miles from Att
lanta. held ball in the school house OF that
town tonight, which was frsught with re-
markable consequences. Some time ago
when the ball was proposed, the board OF
education Of the town granted the use Of the
school house hall for the festivities. This
aroused objection, however, on the part OF
the church h-going.element OF the community,
who protested that the sanctum Ia which
the young ideas are taught how
to shoot should not be desecrated
by such an ungodlY spectacle as aImilitary
ball Such row was kicked up that the
school board withdrew its permission for
the use Of the hall. To meet this the mill
tary boys, who seem t. be power in Litho-
MIA politics, went to work on the town
council. A speoial meeting was held and
the obnoxious school board abolished by
the counoilmen, who Immediately followed
up their action by passing a resolution Civ
ing the school building over to the military
for their ball Not to be sat upon
In such manner, however. the
anti-bal faction employed a lawyer and
Judge Richard Clark was applied to for an
injunction. After hearing both sides yes
terday at Jonesboro Judge Clark decided
that it would be ungallant TO disappoine
the maidens Of Lithonia, who have been
fondly anticipating the coming ball and he
said: ION with the dance" So.the ball
was held Tonight, but the gallant judge
set April 1 as the date for hearing the APP
plcation for permanent injunction
againsE dancing in the Lithonia public
school. The hearing will take place in At
lanta and will not be an April fool joke.

GIBBONS WINS THE FIGHT
DAILY KNOCKED OUT IN THE
THIRTY-FIRsT ROUND.

a Big Crowd IN Attendance on the
Battle-Gibbons the Favorite in the
Betting-He Had the Best OF It From
the First-Daly Narrowly Escapes
Going Out in the Sixth.
NEW ORLEANs, March More than the
usual interest was taken In the fight to-
night between Austin Gibbons Of Paterson
and Mike DAILY of Bangor. Me. As early as
O'Clock In the evening the crowd began to
congregate, and from that time on until
they were ready TO enter the ring they kept
coming In by street carloads and train
loads. Among the spectators were some of the
most prominent sporting men of the United
States, who had come In from different
sections of the country TO see the great bat
tie between Fitzsimmons and Jim Hall to-
morrow night for $4,000 pnrse. Tickets
for the fight tonight were fixed at a popu-
lar price. An immense crowd of the ad-
mirers of the tistio art therefore filed the
house.
GIBBONS THE FAVORITE.
Gibbons was the favorite in the betting,
although DAILY had many strong supporters.
The arena in which the meu fought was
built especially for that purpose and was SO
constructed that 5000 people could be COM
fortably seated without single person
having a poor view of the ring. Both
Gibbons and DAILY we're under the stipulated
weight when they weighed in at o'clock
in the afternoon, and we're in prime oondi-
tion. Gibbons asserted that he never felt
better in his life, and he justified his claim
by winning the fight in the thirty-frst
round.
OPENING OF THE BATTLE.
The battle began at $3.50 o'clock with both
meu full of fight Gibbons had the best Of
it straight along until the fifteenth round
when things began to look better for DAILY.
Daily was almost out toward the close Of
the sixth round aud only saved himself by
going down and remaining on one knee for
nine seconds, during which time Gibbons
leisureiy sat upon the ropes and waited.
GIBBONS GETS HIS SECOND WIND.
The ninth round was the first that showed
IN Daly's. favor, but rapid work told on
Gibbons and he looked tired while Daily
stood his punishment well. Gibbons then
held OFF and regained his wind, while DAILY
lost ground.
Up to the twenty-fourth round there was
no decisive Fighting on either side, both men
fighting stuobornly and gamely.
At the twenty-fOurth round Gibbons
started In to wind up the fight and had it
all his own way. DAILY realized in the
twenty eighth round that be was whipped
and endeavored TO lose on a foul rather than
be knocked out He repeatedly put up his
knee for Gibbons TO run against, and not
withstanding he was warned, continued his
foul tactics.
In the twenty-ninth and thirtieth rounds
Daily was knocked down as fast as he got
up. The same thing happened in the
thirtieth round for 215 minutes, when
Gibbons landed right-hander on Daly's
chin that settled him. Before he could be
counted out his seconds threw up the sponge.
