back to the engine house the liquor af- fected him. The commissioners in act ing on his case took into consideration the fact that he has been member of the department for twenty-four years and during this time he has rendered splendid service. As he had pleaded guilty they voted to reduce him from a captaincy to first grade lieutenancy. First Grade Hoseman Charles H. Dyer of No. S's house pleaded guilty to the same offense committed the day after Christmas He had cold and took some liquor to break it up. When he got into the engine house the heat af-
 feeted him and he went to sleep. He has been a member of the force
 for fourteen years and has heretofore
 made a good record by his willingness to work and his bravery.
 The commissioners reduced him from
 first grade hosenlan to a third grade
 noseman.

(Continued from First Page, right and swing fierce, short lefts on his jaw. That was the beginning of the end.
 In the fifteenth round Corbett backed Hanlon into a corner, and when the San Francisco boy swung feeb1y Cor bett swung two lightning lefts and Hanlon went down. He took the count of eight, but struggled to his feet and again received the terrific punishment that Corbett was dealing out to him.
 It was then that Graney wanted the fight stopped.
 In the seventh round things looked a bit bright for the Californian. He SCOT ed clean knock down when he landed
 right swing on the point of Corbett's
 jaw. The Denver lad was up in an in-
 stant, however, and was apparently not injured by the blow.
 In the twelfth round Hanlon made
 his last stand. All through he did the forcing and leading. .Corbett was
 swinging wild when Hanloil landed a terrific right on the stomach. It. evil dently hurt the champion, but he was too busy to think about it and went right on with the game.
 In tlie earlier part of the fight, when
 Hanlon was protecting his head and
 stomach by crossing his arms and gloves, Corbett would push his head
 back with his left and uppercut him
 with his right. These blows did no ap-
 parent harm but eventually they told. Hanlon would fight in the clinches, but
 Corbett was even more proficient than he was at that style, and it was this ability to land hard short-arm blows
 that led to his winning the fight. Fight by Rounds
 Round 1-Corbett tried several tirmes
 to penetrate Hanlon's guard with right
 and left swings but failed to get under
 Hanlon's peculiar defence. Finally he
 got in his right to the nose, right to
 the stomach and two lefts to the face.
 Corbett kept begging away relentlessly
 and Eoreed Han1on to cover. Corbett
 got in a straight left to the body as
 they mixed it. Hanlon was on the de-
 fensive. In n1ix-up Hanlon drove his right twice to the body and followed it
 with right to the jaw. Hanlon miss
 ed a left and then sent, a right to the saee. Corbett stood up to him and
 jabbed with lest and right to the face.
 Hanlon then sent 8 hard left to the stomach. As the round closed both swung rights and lefts for the face.

Settling Minor Disputes.

Committees are being appointed at
many of the colleries in the upper re-
gion where the miners have grievances
to confer with the colliery officials, in
the hope of being able to adjust the
grievances without referring them to
the Cancellation Board In the past
efforts of this sort have been seldom sue
cessful, but the company officials are
now evincing "a better spirit.
Nearly all Of these grievances are in
regard to excessive docking, reduction
of yardage prices, failure to pay the 10
per cent increase on the gross earnings
and differences of opinion about work
ing time.
Under the instructions of their officials
the mine workers will endeavor to settle
as many of these grievances as possible
before the session of the Cancellation
Board next Thursday in Wilkesbarre.

Police Officer Kills a Man
in Self-Defense.
Victim Attacked the Blue
Coat With Steel knuckleS
and the Latter Used His
Revolver.

While Patrolman Thomas Dodd, of
Shenandoah, was passing along a street
in that town Saturday night, he heard
cries for help and upon fastening to the
spot from which they emanated found
two men engaged in a fight. The one
was lying on the pavement and Stinoy
Barwick, known to the police as a
dangerous character, was belaboring
him with club. When the latter saw
the officer he dropped his weapon and
started down the street on dead run,
the officer in pursuit.
Dodd came up to his man In an alley
way, and the two engaged in struggle.
Before Dodd knew what had happened
he was dealt several hard blows on the
head with a pair OF steel knuckes.
Realizing that his life was in danger the
officer drew his revolver and shot his
assailaut in the stomach. With the
blood gushing from an ugly wound the
soon lost in the alley.
Weak and partly dazed Dodd made
his way to the police station and re-
ported the occurrence.
When the officers went in search of
Barwick they found him lying uncon-
scious in the middle OF the street where
he had been fighting. He was taken to
the station house and afterward to the
Miners hospital, where he died.
Dodd surrendered himself ut once and
was locked up on charge of murder.
Application will be made today for his
release on a writ of habeas corpus.

advertisers who have for years used the
Tribune as a medium to extend their
business.
Without the generous patronage &C
corded US during the past the Tribune
could not have attained it's position as
leader of the local news field, and it is
the hope of the publishers that the
pleasant relations existing between the
Tribune and its patrons may continue
indefinitely. On our part we give as
surance that we will continue to publish
the best paper that the field and oppor-
tunity will permit, and it will appear as
often as the patronage accorded it will
