A Local Light-Weight Is Anxious to Prove His Efficiency as
 Scientific Boxer.

The lovers of the manly art of self defense have been treated to several good exhibitions recently in and around this city. One of the principals in a. re- cent bloodless battle, failing to secure a match with other loca light-weights / here, issues a challenge to any man of his weight in the state. He has plenty of backing and will put up a stiff argu- ment when he faces any opponent
 The young man is MT. L. McGimpsey and is we'll known in this city. His last battle he won in less than four minutes of actual fighting, and this seems to have scared off other supposedly ann bitious boxers of his class.
 MT. MeGimpsey will box for any amount, either before club offering a purse or in private. He is backed by Mir. Morgan Curry, who is anxious 10 back, his man against any 127-pound lnanIn the state.
