POLICE STOP
PRIZE FIGHT
Impromptu Affair Is interrupted
by the Officers.
FOUR ARRESTS ARE MADE
PARTICIPANTS, HOWEVER, ARE
DISCHARGED.

Inquisitive police officers abruptly
ended fistic carnival at LAWYERS gym
nasium on West Temple street early
yesterday morning and Emil Levin, Al
Jones. Kid Sandberg and George Law
Ter were placed under arrest with the
charge of fighting entered against
them.
The mill was quietly arranged early
yesterday morning between Emil Levin,
hack driver, and Red" Robinson. a
messenger boy. Both are said 10 have
declared for weeks that one could whip
the other and the perpetual boasting
wearied the listeners The controversy
was renewed Friday night and crowd
OF messenger boys, hack drivers and
others who were compelled to listen,
suggested that gloves be introduced and
the fight finished.
Without more ado, the crowd went 10
LAWYERS gymnasium. where entrance
was secured by breaking through a
door. The contestants were stripped
and gloves produced. Referees and
time keepers were appointed and SIX
rounds were pulled off without inter
ruption with hearty cheers and shouts
from the Spectators.
During the progress of the sixth
round, however, one of the witnesses to
the bloody affray happened to glance
at a window. Crowded at all the win
dOws were blue-cOated officers with
helmets cleaning in the rays of light
that flooded from the windows. They,
too, had learned of the proposed en-
counter and had witnessed the scrap
from the start. 1t was SO interesting
that they had not dared to interrupt
the proceedings and the fight continued
Police On the Scene.
When the participants discovered
| that they were observed by a detail of
bulls" a decided decrease in ardOr
followed Blows were not delivered
with the vim and vigor that would
raise a sunny jim but furtive
gIances were constantly cast in the di-
rection of the window, where the out
side spectators looked on. -Four more
rounds were fought however, before
molestation was offered by the officers
who showed no inclination to intrude
till the game began to lag.
Early in the sixth round, when the
presence of the officers was discov-
cred, many of the audience attempted
to make a getaway" Conspicuous
among the crowd of sports was a prom
inent gambler of ponderOus paunch and
hoary hair. Seeing the officers. he made
a dash for the window. Simultaneous
~ with his attempt to separate himself
from the crowd, a SIaal DOy also declu-
ed on similar feat. Both reached the
window at the same time but stopped
The small boy squirmed and tried to
get away from the heavy mass which
encompassed him, and the man who
handles the cards tried vainly to dc
likewise with the boy. Both remained
wedged in the window until a burly Of
ficer released them.
Having watched the fight until the
tenth round and having satisfied them
selves that a fight was in progress, the
officers demanded entrance and ter
minated the game. -Four men were ar
rested and appeared in the city court
yesterday. On motion Of the city at
tOrney. they were discharged and the
bail money which had been deposited
was returned.
