New York. February 15.-In a hard
fought twenty round fight in the Broadway
Athletic club house tonight George Dixon
OF Boston and Jack Downey of Brooklyn
worked SO fast and well that the referee
could not pick winner and declared the
bout draw. which was a very popular
decision. There was only standing room in
the biz house when Dixon and Downey be-
gan their battle and 1t was estimated that
nearly 5000 people were in the building at
the time. Dixon was the favorite at to
l. Downey's showing was a revelation and
places him In the front rank of feather
weights. This was the first time that these
two had met. Taken altogether the fight
was an interesting exhibition and no doubt
both men will soon be matched again. Dix
on seemed to have lost some of his old
time steam but none of his cleverness Both
of his ewes were badly swollen when the
bout ended. while Downey did not show any
marks from the punishment he received.

to see that the danger Is small. A tu-
berculous animal is. II affected in the

sumptive spores. These at first are
moist and do not blow about, but in
time they get dry and become q part
Of the dust, rising often from the barn
floor and seeking the lungs Of the ami
mails and Of the workers about the
barns. The same is true Of the pastures
where the cows summer. The germs
become dry and are blown about by
every breeze. They can not only get
into the lungs Of the animals. but Of
workers in the fields. and even Of the
people passing along the roads. In q
thousand ways people are exposed. The
milk is dangerous medium Of infec-
ton where the udder is affected by tu-
berculosis. It was formerly supposed
that consumption showed itself only in
the lungs, but 1t is now known that 1t
takes possession of other organs Of
the body, and sometimes even establish
es itself in the joints. Therefore It il
not apparent always that person has
become infected. even when they are
far gone with the disease. The healthy
people may be able to throw of these
germs. but partial invalids fall an easy
prey. BY all means continue the war
against tuberculosis, both in animals
and humane.

nary care must be taken that the stock

to circumstances Of weather, etc. Prob

a VIOLATION OF LAW.

AS the sending of threatening
notices to persons through the
! mails or otherwise by whitecap
or other similar Organizations is
becoming rather common in some
parts of the State, it is perhaps
well enough to state that such
proceedings involve gross vio-
lations of the laws of this State,
the punishment for which is very
severe. For the information of
our readers we publish the fol-
lowing extracts from the statutes
relative to this matter:
Article 962 of the penal code
says: eff any person shall
threaten to take the life of any
human being, or to inflict upon
any human being any serious
bodily injury, he shall be pun
ished by fine of not less than
500 nor more than $4,000; and in
addition thereto may be impris-
oned in the county jail not ex-
ceeding one year"
The provision of this article of
the code is to punish anyone who
commits serious bodily injury. |
Article 966 is much broader and |
serves to cover the case entirely.
It says: eff any person shall
knowingly send or deliver to an
other any letter or writing,
whether signed or not
threatening to kill or in any man
zen injure the person of such
)ther, or to burn or otherwise
lestroy or injure any of his prop
'rty, real or personal or to do any
'ther injury to such other per-
on, he shall be punished by fine |
# not less than S100 nor more :
han $1,000; and in addition
hereto may be imprisoned in the i
ounty Jail not exceeding one Z
ear" Z
