in Eleventh Round

Louisville. ky. April 11.-Tom Couhig,
of Dunkirk n. Y, was last night given
the decision over Eddie Connolly, or
New Brunswick. in the eleventh round Of
a twenty-round bout. Connolly was all
but out when the police stopped the
fight
The fight took place before the Mon
arch Athletic club, and Connolly was a
three to one favorite. He forced the
fight for the first six rounds, but from
that time to the end was at COuhig s
mercy, the Dunkirk boy landing hard
and fast on Connelly's stomach and face
and gradually wearing him down till the
tenth round, when Connolly was barely
able to stand. Connolly swung vicious
" time and again for a knockout, but,
with some of the fastest and prettiest
work ever seen here. COuhig avoided the
swings and landed on Connolly
stomach. Several times in the first six
rounds Connolly landed uppercuts on
Couhig's chin, but they seemed TO lack
force, for they did practically no harm.
In the third round Connolly was knocked
down. and took the count to six In the
eleventh round Couhig changed his tao
tics and made q chopping block of his
opponents head and face. Connolly be-
ing poWerless to defend himself He was
knocked down with a left swing, but on
the count of nine was on his feet, only
to be hammered all over the ring till
the fight was stopped. The men weighed
in at 13S pounds.

A. ID. Mackey Promoters.
Three Prominent Capitalists
Who Own Largest Stock.

Lawrence, April 1.-THE Indications
now are that there win soon be a cement
trust.
Until recently there has been several
companies operating plants in Kansas.
But few weeks ago the American Ce-
ment Plaster company of Lawrence, with
mills at Mulvane, and Quanch, Texas,
purchased controlling interest in the Sa-
lima Cement Plaster company, which
have mills at Dillon and Langford, Kan,
and Quanch, Texas, and the Office Of the
Salina company was moved to Law
renee, from Salina- Arrangements have
now just been completed whereby A. D.
Macl1ey of Lawrence has acquired con-
trolling interest in the Samson Cement
Plaster company of Dillon, Kan, with
mills at Burns, Kan. Mr.. Mackey is
widely known throughout the west as
the man who built the Lawrence wire
plant, and fought the American Steel
and Wire company In western territory
until they finally purchased his plant at
a fabulous price, and Immediately pro-
ceeded to remove the machinery and kill
the plant, regardless Of the many prO-
tests from Lawrence citizens.
Joab Mulvane of Topeka, J. A. Hen
ley and A. D. Maclxey of Lawrence now
virtually control the stock Of the three
named cement companies, and as the
headquarters of the Samson Cement
Plaster company will also be moved to
Lawrence it is presumed they will all
three be consolidated into one company
under this name of the American Ce-
ment Plaster company.
