Jerry Mccarthy of Butte and Charlie
Williams Matched.
Cspecial TO The Heraldo

Eureka, Nov. 17.-This camp is to
have another pugilistic contest in the
near future. Jerry Mccarthy of Butte
Mont, having placed a $3.50 forfeit in
the hands of Mr.. Dennis J. Sullivan of
Eureka for a twenty-round fight with
Charlie Williams.
When asked by Herald representa-
tive if he could cover the forfeit, Mr..
Williams said that his hackers were
ready to put up that amount as soon
as articles of agreement could be drawn
up and signed. He also says that the
scrap will -obably be for $500 a side,
and that If no decision can be rendered
at the end of twenty rounds. as many
more rounds a. necessary will be or
dered up by the referee, making the
event a finish fight.
Mccarthy. who fought a twenty-five
round draw in Eureka last July, has
many friends here who are willing to
back him against Williams.
Since Williams fight with Thomas he
has been training continuously in an
ticipation of this contest. and will be
able to put up an excellent hight. Both
men will undoubtedly train here and
the mill will be pulled off in about a
month.

in The WORLD OF SPORT

By the time for school to start il was
an utter impossibility for the teachers
to restore order, so they accepted the
SITUATION good naturedly and an hour
was spent in jubilating. Every merll-

speech, and then those of the rooters
Who had voices enough to speak in
public were called upon, and they
croaked out line or two of bottled-up
enthusiasm The red and black flag of
the school was brought into the assem-
bly, room by some enterprising student,
and it was cheered to the echo. Every
thing cheerable received its due por-
ton OF the applause, and school settled
down to business.
There were whispers on the street
yesterday by those that did not see the
battle between the Christians and the
schoolboys that the game was thrown
by the Y M c. A. with a purpose. The
report emanated largely from those
who bet on the Y. NJ C. A. not know

by the High School. Those who saw
the game and noticed how desperate

That Is the Ground Upon Which the
Protests of Democrats to the Can

Louisville, KY. Nov. ia question
which is likely to have an important

test for the governorship of Kentucky
was brought up today by the canvass
ing board of jefferson county. which
includes Louisville. Counsel for the
Democratic candidates gave notice of
motion to throw out the vote of the
city because of the presence of militia
at the polling places on Nov. T. The
notice served on the commissioners
says:
For the Democratic candidates we
now give notice that at the close of the
count and before any certificates be is
sued We will move the board and all
OF its authorities that may consider
this election to declare null and void
the election held in the city of Louis
Vile on the 18th day of November. 1899.
Among the causes enumerated for
this proposed action are the following:
Because of the usurpation of Will
liam 0. Bradley in calling out and IL
legally using the militia and overawe-
ing and intimidating the voters and
officers of and at said election and in
terfering with the progress of said
election and with the duties of the of
ficers of said election.
Usurpation of Power.
Because the said use of the said
militia was unlawful in every respect
and criminal usurpation of power by
said named persons, and thereby the
civil power was subordirated to the
military power and an overt act of a
reasonable nature against the consti-
tuition of Kentucky was committed"
This action has been expected ever
since the official count began. 1t was
freely reported on. election day that if
the militia was called out it would re-
suit in some such step. With Louis
Vile thrown out, Goebel would have a
safe plurality in the remainder of the
state This dispute will prolong and
aggravate the fight

night from Floyd and Knott counties

is told by the London correspondent of
the Manchester Guardian. He says: II
was talking with a lady of the same type
as Thackeray's Mrs. Chuff. who said: L
am the widow of an officer of Britain's
navy. and 1 cannot bear radical or a
dissenter.' This lady was vehement in
praise of the war. and TO my feeble re-
monstrances declared for all reply that
she was a convinced and devoted adher-
ent of Lord Salisbury. / suggested that
the present war might be reasonably sup
posed to be not of Lord Salisbury's but
of Mr.. Chamberlain making. whereupon

i know what you are going to say. 1t is

conformist statesman. But in the present
case he has shown himself so very con-
scientious that all other considerations
