NEW YORK, March i6.-Dave sulil-
van got the declsiDn over KID Bread
at the end Of ths tWenty.hfth round.
Both men were In prime condition to-
night. Broad was the fav0tite at 100 %
70 In the betting. Up 20 the fifteenth
round matters were evenly divided.
Sullivan had q provoking left 1ab al-
ways Ia evidence Breads LETT ana right
frequently visited sulllvan's head and
body, but ct close quarters Dave threw
hiA right Into The ribs and back q the
left kidney and Broad became tired.
In the sixteenth round Broad showed
the first signs Of distress. and he adopt.
ed huggiug tactics. which were tolerated
by Referee Charley White.
In The eighteenth and nineteenth
rounds Sullivan tTanSgresged the rules
and eyened matters ~. BY this dime
Broad was weak, and although he
landed several clever blows on body,
neck and head, they seemed to have no
effect. Rs It was too evident that Broad
had lost his steam. He frequently
landed on the IriShman, but the latter
came back with tllFee-f0ld force, and
at the end Of the twentieth round there
was nothing In II but Sullivan. Broad
made desperate attempts to defend him
self, but sullivan's left and right body
blows were too much for him, and they
20 signaiiy weakened him that the
ClevelanderO chances were hopeless at
the end OF the round.
In the twenty NTH and last round
Broad, with a supreme EFFORT started
In to regain his lost laurels, but his ef-
forts were unavaAllng, as Sullivan was
all over him, and while the 1rishman
did not knock the weslerner out, he
had him practically helpless when the
bell ended the bout,

Smooth Young Man Makes

Officers up and down the valley are on

Last evening man about 30 years Of
age bought 30 cents worth Of medicine
for epileptic fits, at Burkhart d Lees,
and paid with check on Frank jackson,
the hop man, payable to VIM. Smith
and endorsed by him, Mr.. Burkhart
giving him the change. lie also bought
a cheap pair Of shoes Of Chas. Prochnow,
paying with check on jackson for $3.50,
receiving the change. Others were
tried, and it is reported some fell into
the trap. Just how much he cleaned up
will probably not be learned. This
when the checks were presented
to the First National bank for payment
II was learned that they were forgeries

NORTH COMMERCIAL STREET BRIDGE.
Work al a Standstlll Until Noxt Meeting OF
County Commissioners.

Work al a siandstln Until Noxt Meeting OF
County Commissioners.
A reporter this morning visited the
North Commercial street bridge, work
on which has come TO standstill, so
far as the city aud county are con-
cerned.
IL can be seen at a glance that when
County Commissioners Miley and Need
ham yesterday kicked oyer the traces
they were only refusing TO sanction a
piece Of work which was aptly charac-
terized by a visitor as ''boy's play"
As the work was laid out, the bridge
would have been neither foot bridge
nor q wagon bridge.
The proposition to build in such shape
as to allow only feet inches at the
narrowest part for the drive way has
only 10 be mentioned TO show its alb
surdity, Just who is responsible II is
difficult 10 determine and makes no diff.
ference now.
II seems that the bargain made with
G. F. Royal, the bridge builder, did not
specify any width for the bridge, and
was made withoug measuring the dis.
tance from the car track TO the timbers
OF the truss at the narrow point.
IL is not likely that anything more
will be done 10 the bridge until the
next meeting OF the county commits
sionsrs
In the meantime the ;. l.. Il T. Com.
pany is making great improvement in
their line. The track has been raised
about two feet at the north end of the
bridge, thus decreasing the grade, which
always has made so much trouble get
ting around the compound curve just
north Of the bridge. There is feeling
that North Commercial street is entitled
to n good, comfortable yiaduct at least
forty feet wide.
Next week there will be thousands OF
people here from all over the Northwest
TO attend the fair and at least half OF
them will cross this bridge. What im-
preston will they get of Salem and
Marion county enterprise when they see
the main street of the city leading out
over such contraption as the one over
which they will passP
