On their way home they were COM
PEELED to pass the house where the
dance was in progress. and. upon look

Daniels and Mis- West standing little
closer than he thought they should.
This further enraged Spencer SO much
SO that he took the polecat by the tail
and threw 1t at Daniels. His aim was
not good. and the animal struck Miss
West squarely in the face, nearly
knocking her down.
Daniels lost no time In getting out

away. started In pursuit, overtaking
him In few minutes. and brought him
back to where the crowd had gathered

Legal Authority Quotes Law on the Com

Dallas. Tex, Aug. 1.-Ex-circuit
Judge Fred Ticker. regarded as one Of
the clearest legal minds in Texas, stat
ed the law governing prize fights as
follows:
The last legislature adopted a GRIM
inal code which made prize fighting a
misdemeanor. punishable by a fine of
not less than $500 nor more than $1,000.
and Imprisonment for 80 days. This law
went into operation July 20. just pass
ed. That legislature also subsequently
passed a civil code. and II enacted a
prize fight may take place by taking
out license of $500. This goes into
effect September /. 80 days before the
Corbett- Fitzsimmons prize fight. There
is no doubt our supreme court will
hold that IT is. or will be law after
the first day Of September. The civil
code was adopted last. therefore will
take precedence over the other"
This opinion is concurred in by every
lawyer in Dallas who has read 1t, and
there is no power to prevent the Cor

sound Money and for silver.
Chicago, Aug. LA special to the Post
from Washington says: Politics In the
state Of Virginia are beginning to assume
a new phase and the silver democrats
are preparing Tor a form OF campaign
which they believe Will have the effect
OF changing the character OF the contro-
versy between the factions OF the party.
They propose practically 10 abandon free
coinage as the leading issue OF the cam
paign and to place the sound money"
men upon the defensive by attacking
what they regard as the most vulnerable
points in the "sound money" doctrine.
To do this they propose to use the pres
dents message 10 the last congress on
the financial question. The report of
Secretary Carlisle on the same subject
and the bill which Carlisle prepared and
submitted TO the house. together with
the bill which was afterwards substituted
for the Carlisle bill by the banking and
currency committee TO show that the ad-
mlnlstration and Its followers would re-
tire all the greenbacles, the treasury GER
tifcates and ultimately the silver dollars
thus causing a contraction of the cur
rency by the withdrawal from circulation
Of more than 500. $4,000. They will fur
ther attempt 10 show that the definition
Of Sound money" given by the adyo-
Gates OF sound money" means gold coin
and national bank notes. The convention
will endorse free coinage at the ratio Of
16 to I. but this Will be only a minor
issue.
