Kid McFadden of Frisco again be-
came the victim of Tommy FELIX'S
prowess last night in the early part of
the third round of what was to have
been a twenty five-round bout.
The mill took place under clean
break rules, McFadden's own choice
because his own pet particular style of
fighting, but even with this advantage
he failed TO make any better showing
than he did in the former bout.
The Kid might have stayed in the
game longer-there was little. if any,
doubt of its final outcome-had he not
displayed woefully bad Judgment. He
hit Tommy real hard soaked him a
pretty savage left -hander on the back
of the neck. Tommy grew angry, and
when he is angry he hits hard-a long
list of his victims will testify to this
fact. He sailed into the Kid with a
left swing to the face, followed it with
an equally hard right, and in military
parlance Continued the motion" for the
next few seconds.
McFadden stood with his back
against the ropes during this part of
the performance; when he staggered
away from this support ne went spraw-
ling into the middle of the ring, being
assisted in his descent by final jab
from Tommy. The Kid writhed as
Shorty jenkins, the referee, counted off
the fatal ten seconds, but he could not
rise, and his seconds assisted him to
his corner, held him on the stool and
applied the usual restoratives till he
was able to walk from the ring to his
dressing room.
Bout "a Pretty One.
The fight was a pretty fair one for
the first two rounds. Both men APP
peared to be in good shape, though Nc
Fadden may have been a little tieshy.
It was very evident that Feltz was the
cleverer even in the early part of the
game, though the Kid was willing to
do his share of carrying the battle to
his opponent and landed often enough
to give Tommy considerable respect
for his hitting powers. More than once
he rushed FeltZ to the ropes, but he
couldn't land to hurt. The first round
was Feltz's, but neither man was in
trouble at its end, or showed any marks
of battle, except slightly REDEEMED
spots where the glove had landed.
In the second round Feltz settled
down to business. After the exchange
of one or two blows >on equal terms at
the beginning of the round he found
that the Kids head was the vulnerable
point in his defense, and he made that
part of his opponents anatomy his
mark. After two left jabs to McFad-
denis ribs he sent a left to the nose,

JEFFERSON PAVING CASE
MEANS MUCH TO CITY,
IL Won About $4,000 Will BE
Brought Into Treasury.

The winning of the Jefferson street
than most people imagine, said city
official yesterday.
1t was stated that the winning Of
the suit would bring into the city treas
ury about $4,000, as the matter has
been hanging fire for ten years and
interest as we'll as principal would
have to be paid.
There are sixty-four cases in all, and
the one on trial now will determine
the rest. The evidence in the case was
finished yesterday, a number of wit
nesses being put on the stand by both
sides. The argument is now we'll un-
der way. Court adjourned shortly af-
ter O'Clock and will be convened again
at 10 o'clock this morning. During
the entire proceedings Mayor Myers
has been in court, watching every
move in the case.
The case is of special interest, not
only because of the large amount in
VOWED, but because it will set a pre-
cedent. There are a number of shell
streets in the city that will be paved
with vitrified brick at no very distant
date. This was what was done with
Jefferson and the owners are claimlrN
they are not liable, as they had paid
Tor the shell.
1t is contended further by the plain
tfffs that the block pavement, if a
benefit to any one was to the entire
public, and not to the residents along
the street. The noise from the block
is alleged to be Objectionable Tha
city on the other hand, contends that
the shell pavement was worn out. That
the cost of repair for one year was
almcs one-th I'd of the cost of the pave
ment. The new pavement. the city
contends, was an improvement, and
was prorated according to frontage
on the street, as is customary
II the city loses the suit, it cannot
put down better pdvements on any Of
the streets now needing them without
running the risk of having to pay for
1t all. There is now an ordinance be-
fore Council for the paving of Hall
street, the shell pavement having been
condemned. The owners along this
street may also decline to pay, city Of
Meals say, if the jefferson street case
should be decided against the city.

Null" and his crew got together in
