went to his place of business and on the
corral gate observed placard which, while
being highly amusing, was at the same time
of a libelous nature, as it pretended to give
a price list of the horses sold by Peterson,
and represented them as being affected with
hydrophobia and other fatal maladies.
Peterson went over to the store of Pearce,
the uncle of one of the defendants, and asked
him about the sign. Pearce did not give
the horse dealer much satisfaction, and the
latter was unable to learn through Pearce
whether he or some one else around the
store had placed the sign on the gate
Pearce called Peterson a liar and the lat
ter got a little satisfaction by knocking
Pearce down. Pearce caused the arrest Of
Peterson, who paid az finei of $40 for bat
terry, but at the trial 1t was proved that the
younger Pearce and Bellamy, a colored
porter about the place. had rigged up the
sign. Peterson thenlcaused their arrest. He
says that he will try to have another COM
plant issued for their arrest, and If he can
not get satisfaction in any other way, he
will begin action in civil suit for DANA

THOMPSON WHIPS BOTH MEN
Only Seven Rounds Required for q
Double Victory

At the Manhattan club last night Bob
Thompson took the contract OF defeating
both George Robinson (colored) and Billy
Lynch (white) in total of twenty rounds
+. A preliminary bout was fought between
Abe Hays of San Bernardino and Charles
Alexander of this city, both colored. Jim
Stevens acted as referee and Jim Bush as
timekeeper. The decision was given to
Alexander.
Thompson fought Lynch first, and de-
manded thirty minutes for rest before meet
ing Robinson. Jim Bush was timekeeper
for the club, while Jim Wilson acted for
Thompson and L. Wheatley for Lynch.
Andy Perkins was chosen referee. Thomp-
son appeared In fine condition, but Lynch was
not SO good.
In the first round Thompson drew first
blood by landing on Lynchs nose, and
knocked him down by right-hander on the
chin.
The second round scored another knock
down 70. Thompson, the blow again catch
Ing Lynch on the chin. Lynch took his
punishment coolly, but soon grew weak,
and always took advantage of the full count
each time he fell to the floor.
In the first part of the fifth round Lynch
was knocked down b, chest blow and
failed to rise before being counted out,
Thompson receiving the decision. Wheat
ley, Lynch's timekeeper, saw fit to- take
exception to the referees ruling, but the
crowd and the other timekeepers were
against him, and he subsded.
Thirty minutes later Robinson of Denver
walked into the ring. He showed himself a
very fair boxer but he was NO match for
Thompson, who pushed the fight from the
first In the first round Robinson fell and
almost failed to rise before being counted
out. In the second round Thompson landed
his left on Robinsons chin, and that closed
the fight as his opponent failed to rise,
either from inability or lack of desire to
continue the fight. 1t looked like the latter
reason. The referee awarded the decision
to Thompson.
Wheatley, timekeeper for Lynch, then
entered the ring, and challenged Thomp-
son to meet Lynch again in month for
5000 a side, Marquis of Queensberry rules,
Lynch to weigh not over 14O pounds. The
challenge was accepted.
Thompson states that the Manhattan
club has received an offer from Billy Bish-
op, lightweight champion of the south. to
meet him for $500 or $1,000 side in this city.
Thompson has signified his willingness to
meet him for $500 and perhaps $1,000.

Drank Too Much LIQUOR

Officer Spencer discovered a young man
lying unconscious in the doorway of the
Columbia club on South Spring street early
yesterday morning, and as the man was
breathing only about five or six times a
minute it was thought that he had beer
poisoned. The man was hurried to the
receiving hospital, where DIR. Hagan dag
messed the case as one of alcoholic poison
ing, and after the administration of anti

Chicago, Aug. 27.-Wheat: For
eign markets unexpectedly firm this
morning as heretofore they were
weak. Bad reports come from Rus
sia, and Broomhall predicts decrease
in quantity on passage. The ad-
vices OF the London Times from st.
Petersburg recently published, show
ing danger of famine in certain por-
tions of Russia reported again to-
day, while Paris reports grain riots.
Foreigners bought wheat and the
nearby futures in Paris report franc
20 centimes higher, others unchanR-
ed. The decrease in MINNEAPOLIS
was more than was anticipated and
trade is anticipating a decrease in
the visible Monday next. There are
still untitled contracts to q consider
able extent for August delivery in
this market, which may be repeated
ut other exporting points and may
cause furry to cover toward the
close of the option. We feel friendly
to wheat under the circumstances.
Corn-Firm with good buying,
chiefly for May and the news from
west, especially Nebraska, was de-
cidedly poor. Kansas alJo reported
considerable damage by the late hot
dry weather. Liverpool slightly
lower. The outlook SO far as wealth
er is concerned is for ideal condi-
