DICK o'sRlEN WON.
Kaecksd Out Billy nsnnessy In Eleven
Rounds q eeston.

BosroN, March 26-Dick O'Brien of
Lewiston, Me-, tonight knocked out Billy
Hennessy, the Clinton, Iowa, middleweight
champion of the Northwest, at the Charles
Bank Athletic Club rooms, before 500 peo-
pie. The men were to fight at $50 pounds,
but O'Brien was little over weight.
Both men were frisky and danced around
the ring at the first. Then Hennessy got in
two lightning blows with his left on
O'Brien's face, one Of which sent him reel
ing against the ropes. The crowd was sur
prised, % O'Brien was expected to have
matters his own way.
In the second round Hennessy proved
himself the better boxer and had no trouble
in punching O'Brien's face whenever he de-
sired. He got in some stiff blows that tired
out O'Brien.
O'Brien made . rally in the third round
and got in one OF two good right hand
swings ON Hennessy's neck. The fighting
had been 80 fast and furious that both men
were breathing hard. At the close of the
round Hennessy gave O'Brien = tough
right hand swing in the fice that cut the
latter's eye.
Hennessy recommended banging o. Brien's
face in the fourth. O'Brien stood up
under it like young bull. seemingly
growing stronger.
In the fifth both men we're weak
in the legs. Hennessy continued to
push in his left on O'Brien's nose every
time O'Brien made Yush.
O'Brien got in several blows in the
sixth. Hennessy showed up we'll before
the round was closed.
The seventh and eighth saw more desper-
ate exchange Of blows. Hennessy seemed
to land oftener. but did not daze O'Brien.
They were unsteady at the beginning of
the ninth. There was feeble exchange Of
blows with little execution.
In the tenth, Hennessy was sent to bis
knees by wicked right handler in the face,
but crept to his feet before the referee
could count him out, and was promptly
knocked down. He had worked too hard in
the first few rounds and was exhaus sted.
In the 1lth round O'Brien knocked him
down again. Hennessy arose but fell to
his knees again and grasped the ropes, ut
t rly helpless. The fight was then awarded
to O'Brien.
Mike Sears of Lewiston and Dave Ross
of Boston faced each other in tiresome,
,uninteresting contest of 20 rounds, when
the referee announced draw.

Inc executors and heirs of the estate of
the late David Hunter commenced yester-
day morning to put in their case in au-
swer TO the claim of Mrs. Joan NJ. g.
Hunter 10 establish deed whereby David
Hunter in his lifetime made over all his
property to her.
Charles L. Tilden, one of the attorneys
OF Mr.. Hunter and an executor Of his now
disputed viii, was the first witness called
Dy the defense yesterday, and his testl-
mony occupied the whole days session.
Mr. Iiiden corroborated The testimony of
MIS-. Hunter sn far as concerned the exc
cnt'ou OF the deed of property from hus-
oand to wife. But whereas Mrs. Hunter
had testified that the giving of the deed
was accompanied with the formula II
nefeoy deed to you all my property" ETC.,
illdrn stated Oh the stand yesterday that
the deed was exchanged in silence.
ASKED concerning the will afterward
made by Hunter, by which the deed was
revoked and Mrs. Hunter beoueathed only
one-half OF the estate. Tilden said that as
Huuter's attorney he had advised him that
the deed was invalid and would not hold
water In case of contest. On that ac-
count be had advised Hunter TO back up
the deed by will. so that should auy con-
test arise ihere would be the will to fall

OF Charles L.. Tilden's testimony vester-

when most interesting programme was
rendered. Miss Hull presided with much
grace and ability for a novice, and the
various musical selections were well rem
dered and received merited applause.
The opening address by Laura de Force
Gordon was frightened by several sarcastic
hits at the crit cisms recently reported in
the newspapers by Cardinal Gibbons con-
corning the home sphere of woman. The
speaker said the mistake made by all those
who declare home to be the true and only
legitimate sphere of woman was that they
always assumed that every woman had a
home. With unsound premises the reason
Ing aud conclusions must be faulty.
Mrs. Gordon said so self-evident truth
needed no argument. that woman should
strive to make home attractive and happy,
but every woman is not blessed with a
home. and many who have homes find it
uphill work to drag all the domestic load,
while the husband and father spends his
time lolling round CONFERENCE.-The. spend
ing perhaps even the wife's scant earnings
In drink and cursing her when she fails to
meet him with smiles.
DR.. Hldebrand said she hoped the
enfranc hisement Of women would place
greater responsibilities upon men; that
they should live as upriy aud moral lives
as they exacted OF women.
Mrs. HaskelPs paper on "Home as
Woman's Sphere" was witty and received
with a nlause.
Mr.. Owen and Mr.. Brown spoke briefly
indorsing the objects OF the club, and Mrs.
North said she would like to know where

Freedom intended to locate women-they
