New Orleans, Dec. 1S.-Andy Bowen,
who was defeated in the arena OF the
Auditorium club by Kid Lavigne Of
Saginaw, Mich, died from the effects
of the punishment received. Andy died
while Father Delaney was praying
over him. He remained unconscious
from the time he received the blow.
The Dempsey Ryan fight was declared
off.
Lavigne was inexpressibly shocked
when he heard the news of Bowen's
death. He said he believed that when
Bowen fell that his head had struck
the pine flooring and that the concus-
sion had been the immediate cause OF
his death.
Lavigne and his party were taken to
the Third precinct police station. L.
vigne was admitted to bail in the sum
Of $4,000, the others $1,000. Duffy,
the referee, and Spitzfaden, were the
only ones to furnish bonds. Fitzsim-
