wish to see Dixon knocked or counted out

bets. as that lies solely with the referee.

The important event in pugilism last
week was the featherweight champion
ship contest between George Dixon and
Terry McGovern. The battle lasted but
eight rounds. but was full of ginger dur
ing that short space of time.
McGovern, as generally predicted, won
out, but Dixon according to the accounts
of the battle. made it warm for Mccoy
ern while he retained his speed and
strength, which, however. was only for
five rounds
From the beginning of the sixth round
until Tom O'Rourke, Dixon's manager
token of defeat, Terry sent his famous
straight, short-arm punches into Dixon's
body and face Dixon stood up under Nc
Governs terrific bombardment as long as
possible The firing was too hot, to fast,
and too furious for even game little
Dixon. and he finally went to the floor.
Game as ever, Dixon struggled to his
feet, only to be toppled over again, and
had not O'Rourke thrown up the sponge
Little Chocolate" undoubtedly would
have stood before NcGavern's awful fists
until knocked dead to the world.
Dixon, though defeated, was not dis
graced, and gave McGovern all he had in
the shop And that, even after his long
fighting career was more than any little
man of his weight had ever handed to
Terry
True, McGovern left the ring unmarked,
but that is how he has come out of all
his battles. Dixon landed hard several
times, and. had McGovern not been a
such a marvel of strength, might have
done the trick. as he staggered him sew
eral times in the early stages of the bat
tie.
To sum the fight up, it is only necess-
airy to say it was case of youth,
strength. and hard straight-arm hitting
against age. with considerable ring ex-
perience and quite shade in science.

THE HORRIBLE AFFAIR AT MORRIS,

THE HORRIBLE AFFAIR AT MORRIS.
 A gruesome story of an awful suicide comes from the quiet little town of Nor rts, whose residents still shudder when they think of poor "Was" Churchill. Writhing in fit of temporary insanity he twice hurled himself into the flames which he had kindled to destroy his dwelling. Neighbors dragged him from his fiery bed where he lay shouting in horrible exultation, but his purpose was already accomplished. He dled in horri- ble agony, last Friday night.
 Early last Friday morning before the glow of dawn tinted the horiz on, Churchill who has always been regarded as a harmless, though somewhat eccentric character, rose from his bed in frenzy. Burnl BurnI Burn! he shouted, rush. ing from the house. "Burn, oh, burn l''
 He rushed to the barn where in an un- fortunate moment he had stored some tar. This he carried. into the cellar of his home. Then, his frenzy giving way to fiendishness, calm but fierce in its in- tensitY, he ransacked the haymow carry. ing great armfuls of hay which he pack ed about the tar in his cellar. The gray light of early morning lit up his face as he hurried to and from barn to cellar his eyeballs protruding, his face distorted. He mumbled incoherently as he worked, finally all was ready. He looked at the great pile of combustibles in the cellar. He glanced upward where his sick wife lay tossing In fltful slumber. He struck match, the red lightlgleaming on hi s starting eyes and open jaws.
 "Burn," he shouted. Then he rushed away.
 Reused by the cracking flames, his wife, who had been confined to her room for days tottered to the the window. .crv- ing for aid. Neighbors came, kind heart ed country folk, pulling on their clothes as they ran. They ran and saved Mrs Churchill from the burning house, and they fought the flames.
 Then back came Churchill. Bursting through their midst he cast himself into the seething sea of flames.

 Mortified they seized him rolled him on the grass. tearing his burning clothing with their bare hands. He muttered in- coherently, trembled and grew still. They left him to fight the flames.
 He started up. He saw his burning home, the flames darting upward from the blackening ratters, the smoke wreathes floating slowly In the garish daylight.
 "Burn," he shrieked and charging through their midst he leaped for the second time into the flames.
 They dragged him forth again. They hurried him to a neighboring house. Whey .labored like Trojans to keep the life in his scorched, blackened body. But he had succeeded. Friday night he died.-[ Waterbury Sunday Republican.
