SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
RESIDENT OF B0GGs RUN STRUCK
By A STRAY
BULLET
AT HIS HOME LAST EVENING.
Received a Bad Wound i'm the Neck.
The Bullet Presumably Fired by
Boys congresased at Target Prac-
tice.

John McGraw the we'll known grocer re-
siding at Pearl Town, on Boggs run, was
struck in the neck by a stray bullet from
a target rifle at his home last evening
about $50 O'clock. He received a very
painful and serious wound, but II is
thought by the attending physicians that
he will recover.
1t was learned from those In the vicinity
at the time OF the accident that Mr. Me-
Graw was walking through the yard at
the rear of his residence. and thar two
Benwood boys. named Rutman ard
Crambletree. were engaged in target prae-
tice at a point some distance away. Tie
former was about TO enter the rear door Of
his store room, which is IN his residence.
when he was struck by the stray bullet.
The wounded man was carried into the
house by those who were near by, and
Drs. ]. NJ. Meyers OF South Wheeling. and
]. n. Alley, of Benwood, were summoned.
On examination the attending physicians
found that the bullet entered at the left
side of Mr.. McGraw's neck. and after
striking one OF the vertebrae bones glanc-
ed toward the jaw, The bullet was prohed
for but could not be found. 1t was from a
target rifle and made an ugly wound about
two inches deep, which bled profusely.
The physicians stated that while thu
wound is OF serious nature they have
hopes for his recovery.
Mr.. McGraw is about twenty-eight years
old and is married He has been Ia the
grocery business at Pearl Town for some
time past, and Is quite well known. II IS
hoped by his many friends that he will re-
cover. A number OF mishaps through the
careless use of rifles has occurred IN this
vicinity and the practice is one that re-
quires the attention OF the authorities.
1t was reported THAI at the time tho re-
port of the shot was heard that two boys.
one of whom carried a rifle. were seem
passing the McGraw residence, and that
they continued on up the run. II is con-
sidered that Mr.. McGraw had a miraculous
escape from being instantly killed.

nearly caused stampede at the Drov-
ers' Athletic Club last night. sBuzz"
Auber, of this city, and Joe BrunEer,
of Cincinnati, were advertised to go
twenty rounds to a decision, but the
dilatory tactics of Drummer, who was
dissatisfied with the size of the crowd
present, held the bout back until after
IL o'clock, when it was finally settled
at ten rounds. After the boys started
they went directly to work, and the
exhibition was fast and clever. 1t was
a hard battle from start to finish. but
both men were on their feet in fairly
good condition when the gong rang at
the end of the tenth.
The crowd was about equally divided
and many small bets were laid, none
exceeding ten dollars. The decision of
the referee called all bets off, but it
was evident that the local man had
little the best of it.
The preliminary contest was six
round two-minute go between Hughey
Clancy, of this city, and Chick
BROKER, of Cincinnati. The go was
to have been ten rounds to decision,
but there was not enough money in the
house for BROKER. The two boys were
very unevenly matched. Brooker
weighed only 100 pounds, while Clan
cey, his opponent, was head taller,
making the bout very 1udicrous one.
BROKER was much the cleverer boxer
of the two, and gave very clever ex-
hibition of fighting at rather long
odds.
At 10 o'clock Auber was in his cor
ner and waiting. Drummer sent in
word that the house did not justify his
going on for twenty rounds. At 1890
D. m. the house became very noisy and
a number of men started out, demand
ing their money. About 10: As Drummer
entered the ring and made a little
speech, in which he made known to
one hundred men present that he had
been in this city number OF times
and had always put up a good fight.
His expenses from his home were
heavy, and if he went on for twenty
rounds he would have to insist on the
total receipts. The club officials could
not stand for any more than so per
cent, at which the division of the re-
ceipts were finally settled. The agree
ment between the principals was win
ner to take all. Throughout the argu-
ment Auber and the men in his corner
remained passive, having given out
that they were there and ready to
fight.

NEWS OF THE BONLfRS
EVENTS OF THE WEEK ON THE
ALLEYS HERE AND HERE
ABOUTs.
A Resume of the Work Done During
the Past SIX Days i'm the Wheel
ing Tournament-Stand and
Averages of Teams-PersOnal
Ancient Game.

The first week of the second series
of the Wheeling tournament was closed
with three exciting games between the
two leaders, Wheeling and All Alikes,
the former winning two of the three
games, which puts them in the lead
by the small margin Of one game, while
the K. K. X. boys are only one game
behind the All Alikes and two behind
the leaders, which makes the race for
Arst place very interesting indeed.
That those three teams will take no
chances from now on goes without say
ing, for one game lost by either of the
two first teams will make a change
in the standing.
The X. X. K. boys are third now,
but it is being conceded by all hands
that they will yet figure very promi-
nently in the race for first before the
season is over.
The Emigrants, Oceolas and Rough
Riders are putting up pretty race
for fourth, with the Emigrants one
game ahead of the Oceolas, who are
two games ahead Of the Rough Riders.
AS the kissing Bugs are slowly but
surely crawling up on the All Rooter
boys, merry fight for seventh many
be looked forward to in the near fu-
ture. The Kenmores, who have OF late
been taking their punishment regular
~ without winning, have left the
Apollos become too close for comfort
and unless they do some tall braclng
up the Appollos may yet leave the last
notch for a situation higher up in the
race.
Below will be found the work of the
teams up to date, and the schedule for
the coming week.

TWO ARRESTS MADE
AS ~ Result of a Cutting ARRAY on
the South Side Last Night-One of
the Participants Painfully Cut.

A cutting affray occurred on South
Water street, near the Wheeling Ice
and Storage Company's plant, last night
about eleven o'clock, and as result
Vincent Fresh had his lower lip badly
cut. According to the latter's story of
the ARRAY, Fresh and two of his friends
were proceeding up Water street and
when near the ice plant met strange
man. The men got into an alteration
and finally the stranger drew a razor
from his pocket and cut Fresh across
the lower lip.
Fresh repaired to the Office of DR.. R.
NJ. Rau, where he received medical aid.
Later he was taken into custody for be-
ing drunk. Fred Miller was arrested
by Officer Pritchard as being a par
ticipant in the ARRAY. The latter pris-
oner, it is said, claims that he was at
tackled by three men, who threw stones
at him, and that he used his case knife
as a means of defense. Miller will be
taken before one of the justices. He
claims that his home is in Baltimore,
Nd, and that he came here recently.
He is about forty-five years old and
appears to be of a mild nature. 1t is
alleged that the two men who were
with Fresh were intoxicated.

Monday Night.
Fom indications there will be a big
crowd in the Metropolitan club house
tomorrow night to witness the bout
between Ed Kennedy, Of Pittsburg, and
Rufus McNabb, of Philadelphia. All
followers of the game are more or less
familiar with the record of the Pitts
burg boy. and his easy victory over
Jack Waldron before the M. A. C. is
still fresh in the mind of the public.
McNabb has been training at Oscar
Gardner's place, opposite the postofice,
since his arrival Friday, and a great
many sport-loyers have dropped in to
watch his work. McNabb is splendid
specimen of physical manhood. He has
good ring record. He has fought
fifty battles, and has lost but one de-
cision. Here is partial list of his bat
ties:
Defeated Frank Fisher, rounds;
George Russell. 6 rounds; Jack Kelly,
8 rounds; Martin Judge, Joe Daugherty,

test. He took Bennett at catch weights,
with two days notice, giving away IS

referee in the eleventh round. McNabb
has tried in vain to get another match
with Bennett at 135 or 1873 pounds, Ben
nett refusing to meet him at either
weight.
McNabb agrees, if he beats Kennedy,
to post $500 with the Register as side
bet for a contest with Bennett before

BICYCLES FOR NEXT SEASON.


The price of bicycles for next season
will remain at $50 The organization
of the American Bicycle Company, in
volving the amalgamation of all the
leading manufacturers in this country,
was expected to result in some radical
changes in the cost of wheels. The
new company has decided that sched-
ule figure of $50 will be maintained up
on the standard type Of road wheels.
While the association has been ham,
pered considerably in adjusting itself
to the control of the new business. it
has been practically decided to make
no great departures in the conduct of
the sale or prices for bicycles for this
season. The new company will see
that schedule prices are recognized
throughout the country ON all types
of wheels, so that the practice of price
cutting can be accepted as abolished.
