The Local Lightweight Returns
From Laredo and Wants An

ALI. Hoarel, the promising light
weight of San Antonio, returned
last night from Laredo, where he
met Bob Frazer in a glove contest
Saturday night. The contest was
awarded to Frazer in four rounds.
Hoarel was seen by reporter for
the LIGHT this morning, and in
speaking Of the contest said:
81 admit that l was defeated, but
not by man in my class.
Frazer was to have entered the
ring at 100 pounds, but instead,
weighed l24 pounds. Frazer hasn't
got bit Of science, and l can lick
him easy in square fight. He
fouled me in every round by rum
ming his elbow under my chin,
but the referee would not let me
have 1T. / punished Frazer more
than he did me, and you can see
for yourself that | am not even
scratched. After the fight some Of
the leading citizens Of Laredo held
a meeting and decided that | was
the best man and that was treated
shamefully by those who managed
the fight. The only one from San
Antonio who went with me was
Dick Henefy, my second, and the
crowd nearly mobbed him. I am
trying to get another fight with
Frazer, but not in Laredo, for l
can whip him with any fair show
at all"

ECHOES FROM WEST END.

Since the sad death of little
Chester Hamilton, the baby son of
Contractor Hamilton, which oc-
Cured last week - and that
was an unavoidable death,
owing to a spinal affection,
and not due to the unhealth-
fulness of our suburb-no other
death has happened. Still we came
very near it on the 10th instant,
when Miss Maude Owenby had her
dress to catch on fire and was very
seriously burned before the flames
could be extinguished. Mrs. Owen.
by was severely burned in helping
her daughter.
The artesian we'll diggers have
not been at work on the well for
West End lake, owing to the in
clemency Of the weather.
West End lake, or lakes, have
been gradually freezing up. The
large lake, Grigg's neck and Ker-
sey's bend were frozen up Sunday
morning, and West End saw for the
first time the lake one solid sheet Of
hard ice; ducks in immense guam
titles were on the ice, until the sun
with his thawing qualities gave
them a little water to swim in
about noon Of the day.
Fosters unpatented stove in t he
car sheds has been a great COM
forter to those waiting for their
cars.
Tuesday night the debating
society will hold a kangaroo court.

avenue Is getting along nicely,

Mr.. Castanola's house has found

An old COW Of an inquisitive ma
ture inspected Mr.. T. B. Griggs'
cistern the other day and found

Colored Voters Complimented.

Colored Voters Compllmented.
The colored voters in the recent
city election did credit to their
good citizenship by supporting the
Elmend orr ticket, with much more
unanimity than any other class Of
voters. Much credit is due Mr..
Easton, editor of the "Blade," for
his untiring work to bring the COL
ored voters to an intelligent un.
Outstanding Of the issue involved,
as we'll as to instill in their minds
a pride worthy of their rights as
American citizens. Let our colored
fellow-citiZens realize that their
reputation as good citizens is at
stake when they come to cast their
ballot; let them determine to pun
ish every man who would degrade
their manhood by attempting to
buy their votes; let them here
after, as in the recent election,
be found on the side Of
the best interests of the COM
munity and with such intelligent
leaders as Editor Easton, they can
certainly hold their run, and W n
the respect Of friends and foes alike.
