Efforts to Have a Glove Contest
Proves a FizzIe.


SaIfna, Feb 1S-The 20 round bout
that was to have been pulled off in this
city last night at the opera house be-
tween Dutch Neal and Billy NOrbury,
two Kansas City boys, did not come off
on account of too strong opposition At
4:25 a special left over the Union Pacific
and went 20 miles west, just across the
line into Ellsworth county, where a ring
had been previously pitched in a pas
ture.
Sixty dollars was the total amount
collected, at 81 each. Billy Norburry
wanted to fight, but Dutch" Neal stat
ed that he did not want to ruin his rep
utation fighting for a sandwich" con-
sequently the money was returned and
the special returned to this city at 8
o'clock
Bad management characterized the
PROCEEDINGS all the way through. Ev-
erybody was disguised, with the excep-
ton of Farmer Root, who received SO
for the use of his pasture. Efforts to
pull off the fight was made up to as late
as midnight in this city, but on account
of the extra force of police, it was i'm
possible.
