FOUGHT TWENTY-FIVE ROUNDS.
Police Not Interfering with Prize
Fights Now.

~ HIS NOW.
In the estimation of the three hundred
men and boys of sporting procliXities who
saw it, the hottest fight that has been
pulled off in the vicinity of Indianapolis
was that which was fought early yesterday
morning by Lester Grimm and Jimmy
Blackwell. both of this city.
The fight occurred IL n damp wood on
the river bank near what is known as Riv-
erside Park, south of haywood. 1t had
been kept as close a secret the advertise
ment of the sale of 240 tickets about town
would allow. The Indianapolis police were
aware that the fight was to take place.
but if they found out where it was to oc-
cur, they decided that the mill was coming
off outside their Jurisdiction, and there was
no interference on their part. The police
of West Indianapolis, too, were next" but
they did no more than to give some of
the timid sports scare during the fight.
Grimm and Blackwell have been trying to
get together for several months. 1t is said
they were not only after one another as
pugilists, but it was also said that there
was an old grudge between them which
each was anxious to wipe out in the ring
with this story in circulation, it was not
hard for those who managed the fight to
arouse big interest in it. With the an
We're ready for a good scientific light,
where there was a purse large enough to
make 1t interesting for the winner and
where there was just enough luminosity
between the two men to induce them to
make 1t as hot" as possible for each other
Grimm entered the ring first. He was
dressed in ordinary trousers, sweater and
overcoat. Blackwell followed shortly and
then came the usual delay about selecting
referee, time keeper and stakeholder The
details were arranged after some wrang-
ling, however, and then came the mill. The
men We're to fight twenty-five round con-
test for points. This was the announce
ment of the referee, but it was also to be
a fight for gore, so it was understood, and
bet of $50 to spur the men on to victory.
During almost the entire fight, which last
ed the full twenty-five rounds, and which
was awarded to Blackwell on a foul, Black
we'll was the aggresSor though the smaller
of the two men. He weighed 145 pounds
and Grimm weighed about ten pounds
more. During the first three rounds Black
well worked hard, keeping Grimm on the
defensive and landing pretty heavily a
number of times. Then Grimm had the
best of the fight for several rounds, and
drew first blood. He closed one of Black
wells eyes and punished him severely, so
that it looked as if he would put his man
out long before the twenty-five rounds
We're fought. But Grimm lacked Judgment,
and failed to follow up the advantage he
frequently gained. Blackwell also showed
by clinching. To these two facts Blackwell
owes his victory. While Grimm was the
heavier of the two and the cooler usually,
he was also the clumsier, and lost the bat
tie by losing his head and using his feet,
when another minute would have ended the
fight in draw. All the sports pronounced
it the best fight seen about Indianapolis

NO OBJECTION TO RECEIVER,
But Huntington Seed Company May
Continue Without One.

The suit of the Capital National Bank
against the Huntington Seed Company for
receiver was heard yesterday morning
by Judge McMaster. There was no OBJ
lection offered to the appointment of a re-
ceiver, and the court instructed the attor-
neys representing the different creditors to
agree upon a man. They were to meet
during the day for this purpose, but later
there was some talk that arrangements
might be conSummated whereby receiver
would not be appointed and the business
would be continued under the present man
agement. 1t is believed the company
pay all its debts if it be allowed to
continue another year under the present
mana cement.

A Question of Good VIII.

The sale of a blacksmith shop with its
good will is the basis for suit filed in the
Superior Court yesterday asking damages
and a restraining order. According to the
complaint in December, 1894 Herman Wat
erman bought from George Miller black
smith shop on East Michigan street. Ac-
cording to the terms of sale, Miller was
to turn over his tools and trade and was
not to again enter the same business,
either en- mis- own account or as an en-
poye of some other person within four
miles of the shop he sold. Six months
later he established a shop within 1000 feet
of the old one, thereby destroying the sale
of the good will, it is alleged Waterman
asks Judgment for $500 for damages to his
business and a permanent restraining order
to prevent Miller from continuing his work.
During the present week the Supreme
Court handed down opinion in a case
in which this principle is involved. hold
ing that such an agreement to refrain
from entering a certain line of business
is valid and not contrary to public policy.
