TOOTH IN HER LUNG
Mrs. PiersOn Coughed 1t Up and Is
Getting Well

Elizabeth. n. j., Feb. 7.-During an un
usually severe fit OF coughing Mrs. Patrick
Pierson of this city raised a tooth. The
tnolar came from her lungs where it had
been lodged for exactly three months and
had nearly caused her death.
Three months ago Mrs. Pierson went to
dentist TO have large back tooth pulled.
She took gas. and the belief is that when
the dentist pulled the tooth he dropped it
into her throat and she drew ii into her
lungs during spaslnodit gasping. She was
afflicted with a cough from the time the
tooth was pulled. and, although treated by
many physicians. she failed to improve and
was in dying condition when she coughed
up the tooth.
Mrs. Pierson began almost Immediately
TO recover. and no doubt is entertained now
of her recovery.

The position OF the Mexican government
on the pending prize fight is that every
State in the American Union has lcgisiated
against prize fights, and Mexico cannot
permit that which is ccndemed by public
opinion in the United States.
President Diaz is opposed to allowing the
fight to come OFF on Mexican soil The
president said:
II will take every possible means to pre-
vent the fights. have n force of cavalry
out scouting along the frontier, and / have
ordered them to arrest any one entering
Mexico to take part in nr:Ze fight

does not punish much. and So when I
got ready waded in after him, a had
no fear that he would put me out. This was
in the fifth round. He had been duckng
very prettily all through the go. but hap
pened to catch him an uppercut in the
opening part Of the fifth. and after that he
kept his head up where l could find it.
Il would like to see him and Jimmy
Barry get together. He is coming back
next November, and then match between
the two will probably be made. Barry
hits the harder of the two, and. for that
reason would pick him to win.''
