PalZE FIGHTER KILLED.
Fatal Ending o: Cove Contest at a Cincinnati
Aheiic Club.

Cincinnati Feb 19.--Benny Coleman,
a colored boy, met death in the ring OF
| the Manhattan Athletic club last night
in the first round of his boxing bout with
William Wright. While his limp body
was being carried out of the arena ana
into dressing room by his second the
spectators, none of whom suspected the
truth, cbeered Justify for the other
black boy. who had been proclaimed vic
tor over him. The bouts were called and
decided and still the spectators were not
aware that they had witnessed trag-
edy II was. only after the police had
stopped the contest between Jim John
son and Al Roberts. the principals of
the main fight OF the evening. that the
news of the colored boys death was
heard by all Both Coleman and his
adversary are young eolored boys. in
Experienced and unscientiiic. They
were only engaged on this occasion be-
cause OF the failure of others TO appear.
Both were about is years of age. and
weighed between lis and us pounds.
They were seconded by young colored
lads as unknown as themselves. Their
battle with gloves was as fierce as IL
was brief. AT the call OF time they
punched. jabhed and swung wildly at
one another. Each landed several times
during each minute. but Wright was
quick to crowd his opponent upon the
FIRST sign of weakness. and in another
minute had him pinned against the
ropes of the ring in Wright $ own corner.
There was a clinch. but Wright still
crowded. and q swinging blow with the
right hand struck the helpless Coleman
on the side of the neck. Almost in
stantly he dropped to the floor limp and
almost lifeiess. Colenan's eyes were
open and rolling, and some thought it
vas only a bit of clever acting in order
to escape further punishment. The
referee appreciated that the boy was
"out." for without gbing through the
fcrmalty of counting the seconds, he
gave his decision promptly on the fall
and proclaimed the winner. 1t was
nearly two hours later that the boy died.
The police A.ave arrested John Since.
