A squad of policemen, three county con-
stables and deputy sheriff broke up prize
fight that was to have followed a cakewalk
in Croft Hall, Frederick. Thursday night Of
last week between colored pugilist from
Washington city and colored fighter from
Hagerstown. The fight was to have been
pulled off after the cakewalk, and under
cover of the noise and excitement following
that event. The officers got wind Of the
affair and went to the cakewalk. They saw
to it that the entertainment was limited to
the walk and dance and that the hall was
closed after that was oyer. Arrangements
were quietly made to have the fight take
place at Braddock Heights, between Freder.
lex and Middlctown, on the following night
and crowd of young sports, accompanied
by the fighters, went to the Heights IN
special car. Twelve rounds were fought,
resulting in victory for the Washington
negro on narrow margin Valley Register.

Mrs. Emma =. Powell, formerly Miss Wey-
bright, of Double Pipe Creek, now of Baltl-
more, recently had a very trying experience.
AS she was leaving the store Of Hochschild,
Kohn & Co., Howard and Lexington streets.
Anna Page, female detective, arrested and
took her to the Brown Detective Agency,
where she subjected to number of questions
as to some laces she had and finally taken
into private room and searched. She
showed receipts for the goods bought, and
was then asked where she got the money to
buy them. Her treatment seems to be hu-
initiating and outrageous, and she swore out
warrants for assault against Miss Page and
Detectives David G. Smart and Oliver j.
Miller. They we're given hearing before
Justice Grammar on Thursday morning, who
withheld his decision.
At the hearing the accusers had some good
witnesses in their behalf including female
clerk from the store of Hochschild, Kobn &
Co., but the cross examination given them
by Robert Grain, Mrs. Powell's attorney, lead
them into contradictions, which Mr.. Grain
denounced as lying.
If Mrs. Powell proves her case, as seems
certain she will, she ought to sue for heavy
damages. There is too much suspicion in
dulged in by private detectives and they
should be taught lasting and severe lesson.
