Knocks Him Out in the gath Round
at Weir City.

Weir City. Dec. 15.-At one minute
after one o'clock yesterday, Ferns, of
Scammon, knocked out Hugh McManus
of Pittsburg at the Weir City Opera
House.
It was a 25 round glove contest for
500 and box office receipts. and lasted
"a rounds.
In the third Ferns scored a clean
knockdOwn, landing on the neck, and
McManus took full time to rise. 1t was
evident from the first that there would
be no hammering or grOgginesS, and
that which ever way it went, it would
go like a fash. Ferns speed saved him
from punishment, and but few clean
hits were scored by either. In three of
the rounds not a blow was struck. In
the oath Ferns landed sQuarely on Nc
Manus' neck and struck him under the
ropes for two minutes.
