Prize Fighters Arrested.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Police Justice
Duffy, of Long Island, issued warrants
to-day for the arrest of Mccoy and
Creedon, on complaint of officers OF the
Long Island City Publication Society.
Lawyer Vechten, representing the ath-
letic club, said the men would be in
court at 3 o'clock and that they would
furnish bonds not to violate the law.
District Attorney Youngs received 8
letter to-day from Governor Black re-
garding the contest, but the district at
torney would not make the contents
public. 1t is believed that the bout
will surely take place without any in
reference on the part of the authorities.
Mayor Gleason, Sheriff Don't, Police
Inspector Rhodes and other officials
have sgni6ed their intention of being
at the ringside to see for themselves
that the law will not be violated.

FRIDAY EVENING. DEC Il, 1897.

A BILL is now before the Legislature
providing that dogs shall De deemed
personal property and the theft or IL
jury thereof be punished as 10 the case
of other such property. That Dill
should pass. A mans dog is the oest
friend be has, and is dearer to him than
many two-lsgged professed ones and Is
also of much real service to him, and
ii stolen, hurt or killed, is grieved
over as much, if not more, than any
animal that, under the law is
property, would be. Dogs rarely or
never hurt any body, unless first at
tackled, or unless the premises OF their
masters are trespassed upon, and the
man who lays his hands upon them
save in the way Of kindness, is lit for
even worse things than slrategt ms
and spoila.
