This reception didn't trouble Bennett. and he
appeared again last night. The announcer
paved the way for Bennett by addressing tho

cal joke. The perpetrators are said to be
hangers.on about the stables where WEIGH was

lenged to drink a decoction these men prepared.
WEIGH, who had been drinking, readily ac-
cepted tho challenge, and quickly drank a hor-
riblc mixture of varnish, wood alcohol, whiskey
and beer, which. in the parlance of that part Of
the city. Is known as q "stone wall" WEIGH
BOON fell to the ground in q stupor. and while
slowly dying from the effects Of the drink, the
so-called jokers disflgured his face with paint
and laughed at his miserable plight. Those
who are in possession of the real facts decline

Is absolutely correct. 1t was thought at the

hol, taken by mistake. No inquest was held.
