FLAGPOLE COURT.
Trivial Dispute to End in the Ohio
Supreme Court.

Portsmouth, o., Dec. 1O.-A singular re-
pIevin suit was tried in the common pleas
court here today. Last fall the Repub-
Hcans of Harrisonville determined to raise
a fagpole in honor of Mckinley. Squire
T. c. Giles. a we'll known magistrate OBJ
tanned permission from a Mrs. Anderson
to cut a fine poplar tree from her woods
With a force of workmen he sawed the
tree down, trimmed it and hauled it
home.
Walter Atkins of California was desir-
Gus having the honor of furnishing the
pole for the flag raising, and also applied
to Mrs Anderson and had received per-
mission to cut a tree, there being plenty
of trees in the woods Unfortunately he
had set his affections on the same tree
that Giles had meanwhile cut down, and
the flag raising included as extra num-
bers a seizure by the constable, a free
fight and a reclaiming by Giles, who gave
bond in a replevin and triumphantly su-
perintended the erection of the pole in
front of his own house.
The tree was worth about % cents in
the first place and is valueless now. The
court costs in the case and attorneys
fees will reach nearly S4O0. Atkins viii
take the case to the supreme court. The
Iitigants are half brothers and are well
known.

Since the Daughters of the Confeder-
acy organized at the University of Vir-
ginia in 1894 much work of charita-
bic and historical nature has been ac-
complished. The objects of the order
are to care for all needy wives and chill
dren of Confederate soldiers and to col
lect and preserve all available records
of the Confederacy. Hundreds of chap
ters have been formed in various states,
some of them in northern cities. Just at
present the Daughters are trying to
raise a fund of $4,000, which is to be
used in marking the graves of the 80 :
600 Confederates who died in Union
prisons. It is proposed to erect simple
shaft in each one of the 13 cemeteries
of Union prisoners. The Philadelphia
chapter is actively engaged in this
work. Several other projects, among
them the establishing of a Confederate
museum, are well under way.

M'COY AFTER FITZ.
That $ if He Del-aes Creedon in the
Twenty Round Go

New York, Dec. 1o.-Charles Mccoy. the
rising boxer, is fitting himself for the cru
cial test Of his career in the 24-foot foot
ring. He is to meet Dan Creedon at the
Long Island Athletic club December It,
in a 20-round bout, and the championship
status of the agile Hoosier will then be
settled definitely.
Should Mccoy defeat Creedon. the vic
tor viii fly at the highest game in the
pugilistie arena, Robert Fftzsimmons. The
Indiana boy announces that in case OF
success December II he will challenge
Fitzsimmons to battle for the middle
weight championship, which title the
Cornishman now holds Fitzsimmons
would be compelled to enter the ring at
the middle weight limit of 15S pounds
but as the holder of both the heavy
weight and middle weight cha mpionships
says that he can fight wen at 156 pounds,
he should have no difficulty in reaching
15s pounds.
McCoy's position is a logical one. Al
though the bout between himself and
Creedon is a catch weights.yet is is we'll
known fact that the boxers are the lead
ers in the middle weight division, and the
winner doubtless will be recognized as
the one entitled to challenge for the title
which he won by defeating Jack Demp-
sey and retained by whipping Creedon.
AS Fitzsimmons never has beaten Nc
Coy. the latter would have an unquestion-
ed right to ask the Cornishman to defend
the title or relinquish it.
All these interesting questions however,
hinge on the outcome of the bout one
week from tonight in the Long Island
Athletic club. McCoy's attitude toward
Fitzsimmons makes the bout perhaps the
most interesting that has been set for
this vicinity in some time, and the fol-
lowers of the game are very much on
tip-toe. While Creedon is doing his work
near Chicago, Mccoy is training on Staten
island The tall Hoosier, who has the
longest reach of any boxer in the arena,
is in better condition than ever before in
his life, and undoubtedly Will make the
greatest fight of his ring career. He has
the advantage of height and reach, is a
boxer of the first rank. and, as Dick
O. Brien and others can testify, a hitter of
cyclone force. He is now at 157 pounds
and will go into the ring under the middle
weight limit.
Creedon is short, broad and very strong,
a hard puncher, a scientific boxer and
good ring general. He doubtless will
strip at 165 pounds. His only defeat in
this country was at the hands of Fitz-
simmons, who put him to sleep in two
rounds.
