DR.. TEAGUE
KNOWN IN
THIS CITY.

New York dispatches Monday told OF
the sandbagglng OF Or. Edward p.
league. a young Lowell physician on
Seventh avenue, and OF his subsequent
removal in a serious condition TO the
Roosevelt hospital. and II has been
learned that the statement given out at
that time to the effect that he once lived
here is correct Though the Providence
directory does not show his name. II has
been learned from people in the North
here from his Massachusetts home In the
early part OF the summer OF 1901 and con-
tinued 10 reside here until the following
March.
One OF those who knew him very we'll
was DIR. Joseph Hawkins OF 72S North
Main street and he states that the Lowell
man had an office at the corner OF Camp
and Howell streets. and later removed to
an office on Camp street owned by Ross
Brothers, druggists as he was evident
ly unsuccessful In building up practice
he did not remain In this city, and his
local acquaintances were for the most
part unaware OF his movement till the
news OF his injuries appeared in the
papers.
When first taken TO the hospital the
doctor was unable 10 tell coherently how
he was injured. but since he has been re-
ported In such serious condition the
coroner has secured an anti-mortem
statement OF the way the injuries were
obtained 10 the effect that while walk
ing along the street the doctor was
struck from behind with a club or sand
bag.

The box Office sale Of seats for tho

started up merrily at the Orpheum
this morning and all prospects point to

FIRST class entertainment proffered.
One thing signalizes the program Of

proven determination Of all those tax.
ing part in the contests. Barry and
Murphy. Huihui and Mcdonald. Cas-
tro, Silva and their opponents are ALI
gluttons for punishment and there wilf
be no timorous adding about the ring
In any Of the events. The public I'm.
doubtedly appreciates this state Of AZ
fairs and Cohen will reap his reward
when he views packed house on Sat
urday night.
Barry and Murphy are both In tip
top shape and will put up close. in
teresting series Of rounds before either
gains a decision.
Mcdonald seems confident Of his
ability to best Huihui but public senti.
ment seems still to favor the native
on account of the excellent showing
he has made locally. Silva, the whirl.
igig, is really vastly improved and his
work on Saturday will astonish many.
He is powerfully muscled piece OF
humanity and once his efforts are con-
trolled by some system Of defence and
attack ne will be by no means . desr
picable opponent for better men than
he has hitherto met.
