HCLOSKEY, THE FIGHTER,
is LOSING His SIGHT
He Has Boxed Many Times Before
Wilmington Sporting People
and Was Popular

Ellwood McClOskey, the Philadel-
phia boxer familiarly known as the
"Old War Horse" from his long CON
nectlon with boxing in that city, and
well-known in Wilmington, is threat
ened with total blindness. For two
or three years the sight Of one OF Nc
ClOskey's eyes was dead, but no one
but himself and his relatives knew
THAT he could only see out Of one eye.
McCloskey boxed all comers in his
class, and defeated many good men, al
though partially blind. In order to
save the sight OF his remaining eye
expert opticians recommended THAT
the Injured eye be removed. This was
done, and McCloskey continued TO
fight doing some OF his best ring
work since that time.
Although il was known TO all box
ers who met EllwOOd recently that he
could only see out OF one eye, Nc
Closkey managed TO prove hard game
for the best of the sO-called feather
weights. Even McGOvern could not
ston him in six rounds. or late Nc
Closkey's good eye has bothered him
greatly, and the doctors say THAI
atrophy is developing in it to such an
extent that no medical skill can now
save the sight, and that Ellwood is
doomed to pass the rest Of his life II
total darkness. McClOskey has retired
from boxing contests himself, and hai
recently been devoting hls energies tC
teaching spaTing and managing box
ers., He has been very successful II
botb lines hut the loss of his sigh
will deprive him OF this means OF earn

Yielded a Knife

A Finlnder named Ole Olson was arrested by one of the officers early Sunday morning in the Anchor saloon when attempting to cut the officer to pieces with big bowie knife. He seemed to have a mania for killing policemen and seemed to think that every man he met was a policeman. He was saturated with whiskey when the trouble arose and he had drawn a big knife to plunge it into a strang- CT when he was stopped by a by stander. The man seemed to be crazy and stated that he was after a police man and was bound to kill him. He chased his man into the Anchor sa- loon when an officer appeared upon the scene and attempted to arrest him. The sight of big six shooter did not feaze him in the least, for he looked down the barrel and made straight for the officer and crowded the officer behind the bar before he could get good swing with his six shooter The officer took great chances for Olson WIS striking at him with his knife at every step and if he had not been laid out with six shoot CT over his head he would have doubt less been seriously injured if not killed.
 Olson was carried to jail and re- mained there till he sobered up and appeared before Judge Williams at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. He was fined S12.50 and costs.

 Officer Thomas arrested three men at 12:30 this morning, whose names are John North. John Karns and Ed King. all of whom claim to be miners employed here, for raising a general riot at the Brewery Gulch restaurant. These individuals, who are big. burly fellows went into the restaurant at midnight and exposed themselves in a most disgraceful manner before two respectable women who happened to be present. The language used was most outrageous and vile, intimidating those present until they secured an officer. Such action should certainly be dealt with accordingly and make it possible for respectable people to go into public places of this nature with safety. Their trial comes up at ? p. m. today.
