OFFICER CHRISTLY HAPPY.
Receivers Watch Stolen From Hick-
OK and HlxsOn's Four Years

When William T. Hixson returned
from Detroit having in his possession
part of the jewelry stolen from his
store four years ago, and which was
found by the police of Detroit In q room
occupied by q we'll known crook Little
Dick, " it was not known just who the
lucky parties would be in getting back
their things. However, Officer Christ
ly has been one of the fortunates in re-
covering a very handsome fourteen
karat solid gold watch. Shortly before
the robbery it had been broken and
Chr1stly took it to Hickox and Xix
son q and they we're obliged to send it
to Chicago for the necessary repairs.
1t was returned the day before the rob-
oery and was taken with the other
Jewelry stolen.
Officer Christly said it was 80 long
since he had seen it that he was not
sure whether he could identify it .or
not, but his vie remembered several
points about it, that when he went to
the store he tad no trouble at all in
picking it out. Christly said he con-
sldered himself very fortunate, as over
forty had been stolen and SO few re-
covered and his to be among those
that bad been brought back.

the desire of many of the skeptics to
put their lucre on Jeffries. Reports OF
his fine condition., no doubt, has a
great deal to do with this. Those who
have seen him at his training quarters
at Asbury Park, say that if form
counts for anything he cannot lose
Chief of Police Devery has given out
the following statement relative to the
seton he will take in case the Fitz-
simmons Jeffries fight to-
night resolves itself into q 'sbrutal
slugging match"
From certain published statements
OF experts on prize ring and boxing
matters and from various sources it
would appear that the two would-be
pugilistic champions who are down for
q sparring contest at the Coney Island
Athletic club on Friday next, or their
hackers or managers, intend to have
under the guise of a Horton law SPAR
ring contest a genuine old time slug
cling match or prize fight. Ii no such
smuggling match is intended, then the
inference is that these statements and
impressions are spread for the sole
purpose of quilting and imposing upon
the public.
"Considering the parties to the con-
test, their respective weights, 21O and
100 POUNDS, ana other attending c1rcum-
stances and conditions, it is almost q
physical impossibility for the two in
d1vtduals referred to carry on lawful
contest for points on the coming oc-
casion. The very nature of things
tends to an out and out prize fight.
81 shall be present at the contest and
as chief OF police [ shall personally see
to it that the letter and the spirit of
the law relative to such contests are
obeyed, and that this will be no slug
ging nor heavy hitting; nothing but a
clean cut, lawful spsrring exhibition
for points. Any person who permits
to be gulled or imposed upon
by thinking otherwise will find himself
very much mistaken. 1t will be we'll
for the public to understand that the
first heavy blow struck will mark the
end of the confess"

sued by Chief Devery, and said there
would be no trouble with the police to-
night.

Campaign His-RecOrd.
Since the war department issued an
order for tho establishment oil the
military department of Texas, consi-
derable interest was manifested as to
who would be placed in command. Gen
era1 Wheeler was first proposed, but
when his views were learned, and he
was not in favor of the assignment, the
department. had to look about for some
other competent officer in the service.
The selection has finally been made,

At the outbreak of the Spanish war
this department was merged into the
department. of the gulf, with head
quarters at Atlanta. There are sever
al large military posts along the Mex
lean frontier, and the inclination OF
the Indians in the southwest to be
troublesome led to the re-establish-
ment of this department..
Col. McKibbOn has splendid rec
ord as soldier and is one of the most
popular officers in the service. For
distinguished gallantry in the terrible
campaign around Santiago he was
promoted to be hrigadier general of
volunteers. IN OC1ce or his promotion
came to him July 8, 1898, when he was
on the field, and he accepted July II.

negro contingent in this city as Voss,

and their organization of an indepen-
dent Democratic club was accomplished
last evening. Already sixty coiored vot-
ers have declared their intention of
l,seconding the efforts of the Democratic
ticket next week.
A week ago they attempted to form
an independent organization, but Bruce
Johnson and his gang broke up the
meeting. Last night, however, they got
together in st. Marks schoolhouse and
organized the Colored Representation
club, which, for this election, pledged
its enthusiastic support to the straight
Democratic ticket:

out that the women endorsed the move
and before election day the majority
of the colored voters in this city would
be lined UP to vote the Democratic
ticket.
Several of the speakers demonstrated
that the colored men had nothing to
hope for from the Republican party,

the Democrats had in recent years
shown their friendship for the negro
and a willingness to give them fair
representation in the distribution of
