SULLIVAN AND CONNOLLY DRAW
Boxing Last Night Witnessed By Large
Crowd,

Crowd.
The Hyperion was filled last night
with large crowd to witness the box
ing exhibition held under the auspices
of the Palace Athletic club. The first
bout was between Billy Higgins Of this
city and Billy Forsythe of Danbury.
They came on for ten rounds at 1876
pounds. For three rounds, the Dan
ter of the argument. Higgins relied
most on a left jab, which Forsythe
ducked very cleverly. The fourth was
replete with swift work. and repeated
rushes, Forsythe having all the advan-
tage Higgins face showed signs of
wear but his shorter adversary was un-
scathed
Higgins rallied little in the fifth, and
they both seemed rather willing to
slacken the pace. Forsythe had all the
sixth, but was putting yisibly at the end
Of it. The next round found Higgins
stronger and more willing, and the hon
ors were nearly even at the finish. In
the eighth Higgins was at Forsythe's
mercy against the ropes, ard Forsythe
lifted him up instead Of punching him,
as was his right. The crowd applauded
him. Both worked fast and well in the
ninth, in which Forsythes nose began
to bleed. They finished the tenth
punching furiously and the referee an
nounced the bout a draw
Then followed bout scheduled for ten
rounds between Kid Broad of New
York and Patsy Sweeney of Manches-
ter, N. H. Broad was sandy and will
ing, but had his left eye entirely closed
before the fifth, while Sweeney was un-
blemished Broad took hard punish
rnent in the eighth. going down till the
O'Brien threw the sponge into the ring
and called his principal, Broad, to his
corner. Broad gave one of the finest
exhibitions of gameness ever seen in any
ring. He took five upper cuts in the
seventh, but never stopped coming.
After this bout Peter Maher was in
trcduced to the audience, but RETAINED
from delivering a manifesto. The last
bout was between Spike" Sullivan ana
Eddie Connolly. These stars came on at
1880, Peter Maher was in Sullvans
corner. The men met for twenty rounds
at 1888 pounds. Connellys advantage
in weight was quite apparent, His
other advantages became apparent as
the second round was closing. He had
the better of each of the first two. Con-
nelly landed hard several times during
the clinches in the third, but Spike
showed little distress. The fourth was
all Connelly's, Sullivan going to the
ropes twice. Sullivan grew rather
stronger in the fifth. but got a bad
body blow toward the close. In the
early part. however, they mixed
things" on about even terms. Spike"
took all that was coming to him in the
sixth, and it was in generous measure,
too. He was against the ropes and
nearly out. In the seventh, too, the
fighting was nearly all in his corner.

The PRESS desires to do justice
to all men and injustice to none,
hence when Mr.. Reid wrote us de-
string correction in our report of
the Watkins trial, and especially
his speech, in which he said that
he~could go to Grangeville and find
the families of all round sports and
gamblers going in the best society,
we gladly printed it; but our report
was substantially correct and had
we been able to print the gentle
mans speech entire, which our

this fact to show that we are as

WILL ENFORCE THE LAW.
Secretary of State is out in an
Open Letter to a Sheriff.

49, - - eD'''N ''tf >SS
ed the following IL w.,
if Sutherland of Shosh
county:
"Sir:- Very positive infor.
nation has been brought to
my attention that the law of
the state prohibiting gambling
is being violated in this coun-
ty. The law is a very plain
one and you and other peace
officers of the county must see
that it is enforced. In the
event of continued violation
you and other peace officers of
the county will be expected
to give satisfactory explana.
ton of your inability to en-.
force the law. 1t is the in.
tention of the state authorities
to enforce every law on our
statute books in Shoshone
county as well as the other
counties, and the gambling
law constitutes no exception.
"For your guidance | refer
you to the law, which will be
found on page 465 of the ses-
sion laws of 1899. You will
observe that the law is very
comprehensive in scope and
prohibits all games with cards
dice or other device for checks,
credit or other representative
of value. 1t is also made a
misdemeanor for the owner or
lessee of any house to permit
such games to GO on therein.
"You are instructed to in.
form the district judge or any
justice of the peace as soon as
you have information that the
gambling law is being violated
and take such steps as may be
directed.
"You will be expected to
use the utmost vigilance to en-.
force this law. AS you may
be aware games of chance are
and will be attempted not only
in places of public entertain,
ment but as well in private
homes, stores and offices. Of
tenders in such cases must be
prosecuted as vigorously as
other gamblers. So-called slot
machines come within the
class of gambling devices and
must not be permitted to oper-
ate. You will be expected
not only to inspect saloons
with Il view to stopping gam.
bling, but all other places of
traffic where it is suspected
gambling is being carried on"
