Prize Fights Prevented at Roby, Ind, BY
the Presenc OF the Militia-"Pugs" and
"Sports" Taught to Respect State Laws,
RoBY, Ind, Sept. 5.-Several hun
dred men and officers of the national
guards, armed with swords. bayonets,
rifles, gatling gun and 1000 pounds of
ammunition, bivouaced here last night
outside the Columbian Athletic club.
nounced to take place between
Young" Critic, champion feather
weight of Australia, and kid" La
vigne, of Bay City, Mich, for purse
of s6, 500, and Jimmy Barry, of Chica-
go, and Johnny Connors, of Springfield,
Ill, for a S1,5O) purse, were called be-
fore the military demonstration was
made at the clubhouse. Benjamin Har-
ris, of Crown Point, who was APP
pointed receiver for the club early in
the day, served an order on Charles
Fredericks, sheriff Of Lake county,
that he should allow no more prize
fights in the clubhouse.
The sheriff went to the clubhouse at
$50 tonight, giving notice to the men
in charge, and leaving dozen deputies
to see that the order was respected.
Dominicl1 O'Malley, president of the
club, and the men who intended to
fight threw up the sponge after 4
o'clock this afternoon. No special
trains were run from Chicago. Ex-
cept for the militia, the Roby sporting
house was dark and dull as cemetery.
kid Lavigne was the only fighter
who remained at the clubhouse all
night. He was not half as disgusted
as Critic over the action of Gov. Mat
thews in sending the national guard to
see that the fight did not come off.
Much was expected by the sports from
the test case which is to be tried next
week in the Lake circuit court.
No such military demonstration to
prevent prize fight has ever been
seen in this part of the country, and it
awed the small crowd of spectators
The militiamen arrived on the scene
at o'clock by special trains. All was
dark and still, but the commanding
officers suspected ruse to circumvcnt
them. Picket lines were thrown ont
and a company of boys in blue were
detailed for sentry duty around the
buildings closed arena. The officers
also expected to see resistance, and
their surprise was tempered with a
feeling of satisfaction that they would
not be ordered to fire upon citizens.
Some officers went into the arena
and found small party of men taking
care Of the place, but no signs Of a
fight. Some found their way to the
clubhouse adjoining, where refresh
ments were not secured. Only twenty
four hours rations were brought on
each train and no camp equipments, so
that the officers and men shared alike.
A plank sidewalk with blanket cover
ing served as couch for those not on
duty, but no one grumbled.

4 Missionary Says that Ernin Was Killed
and Eaten-A Like Fate Melted Out to
His Followers.
LONDON, Sept. 5.-Rev. DIR. Swan, a
missionary who has just returned from
Ujiii, on the east shore OF Lake Tan
ganyil1a, Africa, says that it is impos-
sible to doubt honestly that Emin
Pasha is dead ''The most circumstan-
tial reports are heard from four indie
pendent sources" said Mr.. Swan, and
all agreed as to the details. The Arabs
everywhere in Africa are rejoicing
over his death.
According to the reports received by
Mr.. Swan, Emin had arrived at the
residence of Seyd Bin Abed, in the
country of the Manyemas in the east
ern part OF the Congo State. A party OF
Arabs approached and asked Emin;
"Where are you going?"
ITO the coast" was Emin's reply.
The leader of the Arabs, who was
armed with a scymetar, then stepped
up to Emin and said:
"You are Emin Pasha, who killed
the Ara bs at Victoria Nyanza." With
out waiting for an answer he struck
off Emin's head with the scymetar.
Emin's body was thrown to the Man
yemas, who ate it.
Subsequently the Manyemas muir
dered Emins followers and ate them.
Swan says these details have been SO
often repeated that in Ujiji nobody
has the slightest doubt as to their cor
rectnesS.
