sites. The contest was for a purse OIL
$50 and an outside bet.
The fight was won by Pickard 10 nine
rounds. When time was called the men
stepped briskly into the twenty.tour
foot ring and in the first round little
real fighting was done, the contestants
being intent on sizing up each other.
pickard led with his left but fell short
and received stia one for his pains.
The men were warming up to their
work when time was called.
SECOND round-This round was nota.
BILE for some very hot infghting and
when the time was nearly up Pickard
GOT one on the jugular that stretched
him his length on the floor, It looked
very much like McFinnigan's fight.
Third round-The inevitable prize
ring smile was still in evidence, but the
hot work Of the preceding round had
somevhat exhausted both tighters. The
Pennsylvania man got the worst OF the
ronnd' being floored once by q terrific
left from Pickard. Matters evened up
considerably at the close.

Sixth round-Was noted for some
tas. and furious work on both sides, al
though Pickard had somewhat the best

Seventh round-Was tame at the
start. but soon the blows were being
exchanged with rapidity and effect.
Pickard drew the claret in this round.
Eighth round--Both were slow aud
it was evident were becoming stale.
Honors were about even.
Ninth round--When they advanced

McFinnigau was about gone, and
right hand upper cut by his opponent
did the business. McFinnigan was
then counted out by Referee Nelson,
and the fight awarded to Pickard.
Pickard announced before the fight
that he would not enter the prize ring

Bohen's Dead Body Found in Mill River

Bohen,s Dead Body Found in Mill River The dead body of Henry Bohen, a baker. was seen floating in Mill river near Neck bridge. yesterday morning by two boys. George Freiss of Nash street and Michael Maliff. Medical Ex- aminer White examined the remains. bu no trace of any foul play could be found. The body was removed to Cox X Henze's, It seems that Bohen had left home Monday morning and gone to Lighthouse Point for the day. He was just returning home on the car when seen by Rourke. The latter states that Bohen apparently had ridden further than he meant to and alighted from the car. going toward the Tin bridge, and he thinks 1t is likely that he fell from the bridge.
 Bohen was a German about thirty five years of age and was employed as baker by Herman Trust of Grand avenue. He has n wife and five chil- dren at his home on Fillmore street, who have been anxiously awaiting news of him since he failed to turn up on Monday.
 His brother-in-law states that he was q man of good habits and thrifty, owning a good home and accommodating considerable money.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is in fact. the great enemy of the mu. cous membrane. Neglected colds in the head almost invariably precede catarrh causing an excessive flow of mucous and If the mucous discharge becomes interrupted the disagreeable results of catarrh will follow, such as bad breath, severe pain across the forehead and about the eyes, a roaring and buzz ing sound in the ears and oftentimes a very offensive discharge. Ely's Cream Balm Is the acknowledged cure for these troubles.
