A DUSKY BATTLE
Darktown Bruisers Have a Boxers
Night

Night
1t was boxers night at the Manhattan
club, the heightened" colored organiza-
ton of the city, last evening, and all the
sporty coons" and generous sprink-
ling of their white brethren, to the num-
Der of 300, were there. 1t was a warm
number. The rafters rang and the floor
groaned, and so did the audience at
times.
There were two four-round bouts and
one battle royal before the chief event of
the evening, 15-round set-to between
Bob Thompson and kid" Maxwell.
VIII Whitesides and Captain" Cow
were the first billed. They smashed
each other for four two minute unscien-
tific rounds. and the bout was declared a
draw. Bob Jones, the ex-Whittier foot
ball king, went through like program
with the same result.
After these very uninteresting events
a grand battle royal followed, in which
four dusky bruisers battled to see who
was the best man. At the end of five
minutes only one man remained in the
ring so he was given the honor.
The last event of the evening was the
Thompson Maxwell bout. 1t was
Thompson's from the first, and the fight
was given to him by Maxwell in the
ninth round. Thompson followed his
usual method and made rushing, bull
dog fight. After the mill he challenged
any man in the world to fight at 136
pounds.

That may not do any good. you think?"
That's about it," was Webb's reply.
CONTRACTORS CONTRIBUTIONS
Fred Nelson Of the firm of Nelson
Bros. told of his having paid Axtell $55
az q commission on a bill Of nearly $7G0
for work that his firm had done in the
schools during the last summer vaca-
ton. He said that Axtell had told him
that he represented others in the deal
and that not q cent Of the money went to
him. Mr.. Nelson stated that he did not
remember what names Axtell had mem
toned. II any. Axtell came to him with
the remark that he had got to pay the
money" The payment was made after
the bill for the work had been paid by the
school board. The firm had been doing
that kind Of work in the schools for sew
eral years. always under AxtelPs direc-
ton. Until the present board came into
power they had never had to pay cent
for their contracts either to Axtell or to
other persons. The witness denied all
knowledge Of what former grand juries
had reported about Axtell. He had paid
the money promptly because Axtell
seemed to be greatly worried and was
afraid Of something that he did not men
ton.

would be all right, but that no business
could be transacted then because Webb
had gone east. Morris did appear be-
fore the board in October and urged that
his pay be increased, but he did not then
state that he had paid to have 1t raised.
m this connection 1t was brought out
that the matter Of raising his salary was
in October referred to the high school
committee, composed of Messrs. Davis,
Poor and Conrey, and that this was the
first important matter that that COM
mittee had had to investigate for
months. The rule was that at Webb's
suggestion the board took up the mat
ters that should go to the committee,
and did about as Webb pleased. he being

was the response.
After having been on the witness stand
for more than an hour Morris was ex-
cused. There were no other witnesses
present and the board adjourned until
