AN UNRULY PIG.

Officer Land of the Howard avenue precinct is now being s"jollied'' by his brother officers, as a result of an amus- ing experience Tuesday night. While alertly patrolling his beat Tuesday evening he became aware of an of- fender of the public peace at the cor ner of Derby and Winthrop avenue. Officer Land was onto his job immedi- ately. The 1awbreaker, however, was not inclined to submit taTnely, but ran, squealing, hither and thither like the good healthy pig that he was.
 Now, Officer Land is not a man to betrified with, and when he starts out to do anything, affairs generally move. And affairs moved In this case until Officer Landy finally succeeded in get ting the moose of his billy on to the quaruped's hind foot, and, by twisting it tightly. made him prisoner, but not without further renonstrance. Next, he was in doubt whether he should send for the patrol wagon or not. The situation was made more urgent by the protestations of the angry prisoner, 50 that the necessity of a jail of some sort was absolutely Imperative. In view of these considerations the officer took matters into his own hands, and made for piggy a jail of Solomon Meade's barn.

 the ropes with two hard lefts. O'Brien then drove his left to the body and forced his man again to the ropes
 Then two hard lefts to face. As the
 round ended Fitz appeared to recuper- ate, but went to his corner rather un- | steady. It was O'Brien's round by a i big margin.
 Round 9-Both appeared tired at this stage and Fitzs face presented a bloody sight O'Brien after hooking a terrific right to the jaw followed it with two wicked uppercuts as the bell rang 1 nearly raised Fitz off the floor with a
 right hook to the jaw.
 Round 10-OBrien met Fitz with straight jab to the face, but Fitz re- | taliated with powerful right over the
 heart and swung his left to the face. O'Brien shot in two lefts to the face as
 Fitz missed a right swing, and quickly iabbed his left over the mouth. Fftz
 suddenly hooked his right with great force over the heart, forcing O'Brien to
 a clinch. Fitz's two heart punches in 1 this round were the best of the fight. Round 11-Fitz in a mix drove O'Brien l to the ropes with terrific right, and
 O'Brien landed two uppercuts. Fitz
 complained to the referee that O'Brien
 was hitting low. The crowd hissed. Fitz forced O'Brien to the ropes. Fitz
 chased his man around the ring, land | ing straight left to the face.
 Round 12-After F1tz had forced
 O'Brien into neutral corner O'Brien
 electrified the crowd with some fine
 work, during which he shot three hard
 lefts to Fitz's face and blocked all at- tempts of Bob to counter.
 Round 1S-In a mix-up Fitz suddenly
 drove a fearful right to the body and
 then terrific hook to the face. O'Brien, | however, retaliated with hard left
 uppercut to the jaw. Fitz then planted hard left to the body and they mixed
 1t, both landing right and left blows over the heart.
 After FHtz went to his corner he sud-

 was seen that he was badly hurt. His
 doctor was hastily summoned. Fitz
 was able to rise unassisted shortly aft
 erward and left the ring. It appeared that he was seized with a sudden faint

 the next round. There was nothing to
 indicate that Fitz was in distress when
 he took his seat after the thirteenth
 round. When Referee Grany saw Fitz- simmons condition he immediately awarded the contest to O'Brien. Christmas Pianos.

THIS WEATHER SUITS
 THE DRUGGISTS

How does this weather suit you" inquired reporter of prominent druggist this morning. All right re- piled the dealer in drugs, If it only continues long enough to give us chance to make something out of it. People were just about to cave in.' he continued, during the warm spell few weeks ago, when cool wave came along and robbed us of rush. ing business. It may turn out the same way this time. but I hope not" It is but fair to assume that the gen tleman didn't mean what he said, but there was nothing in his appearance to lead one to suspect that he was jok- ing. Indeed, no farmer ever leaned over fence and watched his scorch- ing crops and prayed for rain with more serious face than the pillmaker wore when he talked of the muggy weather and expressed the hope that it would keep up long enough to make itself felt in the drug business.
