The prize fight which has been at
tracing the attention OF the sporting
men Of the country, came off last Fri
day night at COney Island, New York.
The light was between Robert Fitz-
simmons, who held the championship
OF the world, and James Jeffries, Of
Los Angeles. Fitzsimmons has been
before the world as a fighter for some
twenty years, and has always been a
successful one. Since he succeeded
10 knocking out Corbett ia Nevada a
couple Of years ago be has been the
champion of tie world. Jeffrles was
a young mao aud had bis reputation
as a lighter to make. Before the
fight Jeffries was conceded the ad-
vantage Of weight and age, and Fitz.
simmons the advantage Of experience,
knowledge, and llehtness on his feet.
The sporting men gave the total OF
advantage to Fitzsimmons, and con-
sldered him two to one the best man.
The betting In New York ranging
from ten to 1ve to ten to seven 10
Fitzsimmon's favor. When the men
got into the ring it was found that
Jeffries had been trained until he was
as light on his feet as Fitzsimmons,
and he seemed to know as well how to
guard and hit as did his opponent.
The fight was a hot and fast one, and
lasted eleven rounds, when Jeffries
knocked bis opponent out and won the
fight and the championship which as
he is p young man he will probably
keep for many years. Although jeff
ries won the fight Fitzsimmons won
the most money. One-half of thegate
receipts was divided between them in
the proportion Of sixty per cent for
Fitzslmmons and forty per cent for
Jeffries and the ten thousand dollar
purse was equally divided. This gave
Fitzsimmons about $50, 600 and JeiIries
about $751; O0. This division was
agreed upon before the battle.

Of raises printed in the Independent
there was only one FROM Lordsburg,
and that was one OF the most prOsper'
Gus business houses 10 the town, the
the Eagle drug mercantile company
The LIBERAL investigated this raise
and found that in order to make the
raise the assessor had to assess prop.
erty to the company that IL did not
own. The assessor probably could
raise almost any persons return II II
gave him credit for owning property
that belonged TO some one else,
Lordsburg and It's property owners are
all right. Times at Deming seem tC
be pretty hard. Nearly all the raises
on the list were of Deming people.
The assessor should have been more
charitable. 1t is bad enough to have
TO live In Deming, but TO live there
and then have the assessor raise the
property returns Is too much. Tit
Demingites should be dealt witt
lightly.
