however, cuts no figure IN the present
DIFFICULTY, which arises entirely from
the refusal OF the road TO make any
contracts with the men.

HAz1NG MAY END IN DEATH.
The Victims Nervous System Shat
tered as the Result of lis Fright.

Hyattsville, Nd. Nov. Edwin Gott,
Jr., son Of the secretary of state, is dan
gerously i'll from the effects of hazing.
and number OF the students at the Mary
land State Agricultural College are very
much worried over his condition.
One evening last week the students or
ganized a moot court, tried and convicted
GOtt of heinous crime, and proceeded
to execute the sentence of hanging. A
rope was placed around his chest thrown
over transom and the victim was
hauled up and left hanging some hours.
Gott was very much frightened, but Of
fered no resistance. He appeared at
breakfast on the following morning ap-
parently uninjured, but later In the day be-
came violently i'll. He has had several
spasms, and becomes weaker after each
attack 1t is supposed that the fright
has shattered his nervous system, and
the faculty have grave fears of his death.
Half a dozen of the students are kept in
close confinement, awaiting the result of
Colts injuries.

The American Lands Blows as E'

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. Jim DAILY of Buff
falo and Jack Slavin of Australia met to-
night in a fifteen-round contest at the
Buffalo Athletic Club.
Unusual interest was attached to the
match, because of the possibilities which
hinged upon the decision, it having been
arranged that the victor would be given a
chance against Joe Choynski Jem Hall,
Joe Butler and other good ones.
\ crowd of 1850 was in the club room
when DAILY and Slavin made their appear
ance.
The men fought under the Marquis of
Queensberry rules for a purse of 81 900
to the winner and the loser TO receive his
training expenses.
DAILY clearly outclassed his opponent,
and for six rounds hit his man when and
now he pleased. His blows lacked force,
however. and had little effect. In the
seventh round DAILY danced up to the Aus
tralian and planted blow after blow on his
lace Just before the bell rang Slavin
cnnched to avoid punishment, and when
ordered to break away, the Australian
delivered a stinging blow on Days neck.
II was so palpably foul that the referee
ma not hesitate to give the decision to
DAILY.
DAILY and Slavin will undoubtedly meet
again IN a short time.
