cREEpoN AND WEST DRAW.
Hard-HittinE. Bloody. Scientific
Fight of Twenty Rounds.

New York. April 4.-one OF the best
glove fights of the season was decided at
the Lenox Athletic Club tonight in the
presence of a good-sized crowd. Dan
creedon, OF Australia, and Tommy Vast.
of this city. fought a sensational TWEEN v
round draw. which bristled with hard
hitting, blood. and science. The pace was
so fast in the first fifteen rounds that the
sports were amazed at the stamina of the
men. At one time II looked like West
victory. but Creedon took a great brace
after the eighth round and appeared 10 be
winning when the local pugilist recovered
his grip and made things even until the
end. Creedon has undoubtedly gone back
but he did better work In this battle than
for some time past. West showed excel
lent Judgment and equaled the Australian
In almost every respect. The decision was
Just, as the men were on even terms, all
things considered, at the conclusion of
the affair. Both were severely bruised
about the head, but were otherwise all
right when they got into their street
clothes.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
HousebrenIScr Apprehended at the
Regent Hotel.

Regent Hotel.
Policemen Mellen and Riley, of the First
precinct. arrested Toliver johnson, colored,
seventeen years old, and locked him up at
No. ] station house at 1915 o'clock last
night, charged with housebreaking in the
night. The man was caught in the act
of entering q third-story room at the Re-
gent Hotel. In his possession was found
satchel containing small articles of no
particular value and metallic drinking
cup. the property of one of two female
occupants of the room entered Johnson
Will be arraigned in court in the morning
johnson has been employed at the hotel
as fireman for some time. He was re-
garded as honest. Recently several pocket
books and other articles have been stolen
from the rooms of guests, and though
strict watch has been kept, no clew could
be obtained as to the identity of the thief
The various thefts were reported to the
police, but so quietly did the thief work
that nothing could be learned of him. The
apprehension Of Johnson last night was
due TO discovery made by Bushrod Wash
ington, member of the Washington
Light Infantry Corps. He will appear as
witness against the prisoner.
Washington was leaving the armory
when he noticed aeman crouching on the
nIe escape IN the rear OF the Regent Hotel
He Immediately communicated the fact to
the hotel people with the result that Police
men Mellen and Riley, who were in the
neighborhood, were called in. The police
men repaired to the rear portion of the
building and found Johnson hiding on the
third story platform of the fire escape. He
had dropped the satchel described and was
making an effort to descend unnoticed. He
was brought 10 the ground by Mellen while
Riley took charge Of the satchel The
drinking cup was found ON the man when
he was searched at the station house
Johnson is believed TO be the author of
many thefts which have been committed
at the hotel recently. The man, 1t appears
has been in the habit of leaving the engine
room and mounting the fire escape, gaining
access to rooms and robbing them. II is
thought, though, that the man had intended
taking another satchel, which contained a
pocketbook holding a considerable sum of
money. The man evidently got the satchels
mixed. Where he gained his knowledge o.
the existence OF the pocketbook is a mys-
terry and may lead to duplicating some one
else connected with the house.
