tonight because the Bennett

Great local interest was taken in the
match and every provision had been
made to pull off the bout under alarge
tent in Miffiin township, just outside

time came for the fight the tent was
crowded, but just as tho men were
about to enter the ring, Manager Moss

county authorities forbade the fight.
Moss promised that the fight would
take place in the near future at a point
where there would be no interference.
Both men were in the pink of condi-
ton.
