Robinson. He is q brother of Mrs.

was stabbed. This fact in itsel
might not be very interesting were it
not that he formerly lived in Eldora-

He used to live on the place now
owned by Malcom Darling. He was
quite musician and after leaving
here he went to Germany where he
stayed some time studying music.
It was about five years ago that ne
bade adieu to his friends here, and
he was then about 25 years of age,
handsome, and possessed of consider
able ability, but unfortunately had q
strong appetite for drink. It was to
get him away from the temptations
of city life that Mrs. Day and some
of his other relatives got him up here
onto farm. but their plans were not
successful and it would be difficult to
imagine how any man could have
''spread" it on much larger scale
than he did. Indeed he carried it to
such an extent that the ''snakes" got
after him, and he was found in the
cellar of his shanty suffering from an
attack of the deljrium tremens. He
was covered with blood from an un-
successful attempt he had made to
commit suicide by cutting his throat,

PROHIBITS FIGHT
PERMANENT INJUNCTION ISSUED
AGAINST THE JEFFRIEs.
RUHLIN CONTEST.
is DECLArED A NUISANCE

Proposed Contest Held to Be Prize
Fight for the Championship Of the
World and Not Boxing Match for
Points-such Events Moral Wrong,
a Crime Before the Law and q
Menace to Society.
Cincinnati, Feb. 15.-Judge Hollis
ter has granted a permanent injunc-
tion against the Jeffries-R s-Ruhlin prize
fight planned to be held in Saenger-
fest hall Friday night. The promoters
will postpone the contest until after
they can carry the case to the circuit
and supreme courts.
Judge Hollister sustained the con-
tentions of the state on all points at
issue. He not only held that courts
of equity had jurisdiction against pun
lie nuisances, but also that prize fights
are public nuisances and that the pro
posed contest between JefEFies ana
Rubin was to be prize fight for the
championship of the world and not
boxing match for points. The decis'
ion was severe in language as well as
decisive in it's holding. 1t held the
proposed event to be public nul-
sance, moral wrong, a crime before
the law and such menace to society
az should be restrained even in courts
of equity.
In reviewing the testimony Judge
Hollister complimented Manager Bra
DIV, saying that his evidence command
ed the respect of the court, but he
was severe on Manager Madden as an
"insincere. and evasive witness"
whose testimony regarding the differ
ence between prize fights and boxing
contests could not be given credence.
The conclusion Of Judge HOLSTERS
decision was in emphatic and Vigor-
GUS language. He stated that he had
doubt as to Jurisdiction of q court OF
equity In such cases at the beginning
of this hearing, but now he had none
whatever Then he summarized the

the defendants from holding any per-
formance at Saengerfest hall in which
Jeffries and Rubin would contest for
the championship.
Judge Peck, leading counsel for the
defendants, gave notice Of an appeal
and took exceptions to both points OF
law and fact in the finding of the
court.
When Mayor Fleishmann was in
formed of the Injunction he said:
The sheriff is the officer of the
court and if he calls on me for assist
ance I will give him the entire police

practically acts as revocation of the
