THE FIGHT PICTURES.
A Large Audience Sees Jeffries and
Sharkey in the Ring Again.
Gazette, Lima, Ohio.

The Faurot opera house was filed
last night by an audience made up
principally of the sport loving pub
lie of Lima and vicinity. The at
traction was the first appearance
here of the American Animated
Picture Co., of New York City, pre-
senting the pictures Of the Jeffries-
Sharkey fight, and it is safe to say
that no better pleased audience ever
assembled in the theatre.
The pictures are more than life
size and show every move of Jeffries
and Sharkey from the time they en-
ter the ring until they leave it at
the close of the 25th round. George
Siler, the official referee, is in evil
dence, as are the seconds and the
official announcer. In the audience,
Jim Corbett is readily recognized,
and during the contest is seen to
place several bets. There is none of
the Pickering that characterized
other pictures here and no enter
tainment has been so enjoyable or
interesting as that given last night
During the contest on the curtain,
Mr.. M. H. McNabb, who manages
the southern tour of the pictures,
explained the various points by
rounds, which added to the perfor-
nance not little.
The company jumped here from
Warrington, W. Va, and left early
this morning to resume its tour
through the south, this being an ex-
ira date given Lima at the instance
of Manager Hyde, who was anxious
to have Lima see the original pic
lures as soon as possible. Will APP
pear at the Opera House Tuesday
evening, January 23d.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
More about the Bank Robbery at Phil.
ippi on Tuesday Night-Reward Of
fered.

The following dispatch has been
sent out from Grafton this morning.
The amount of money secured was
found to be what was reported by
us on yesterday.
The force OF the explosion that
blew up the safe was so severe that
it wrecked the furniture of the bank.
The robbery is supposed to have
been committed by the same gang
who robbed the Pennington Coal &
Coke Co.'s office about three weeks
ago
The bank people have offered a
handsome reward for the arrest of
the robbers, and have notified the
policemen of the neighboring towns
to be on the lookout. The safe was
an old one, having been in use since
the organization of the bank, was
a very large one, being used as a
vault. The president of the bank, j..
n. B. Grim, was here to day making
arrangements if possible to secure
the arrest of the burglars. The loss
to the bank will be heavy, but Mr..
Grim has made arrangements to
meet all drafts or checks at once,
and the business of the bank will 90
on in the usual manner.
