Douglass Blew His Eyes Full Of Am

fortunate and unusual accident spoiled
a bout at the Washington Sporting
club last night. During the intermis-
sion between the fourth and fifth

Douglass sneezed into his salt bottle,
blowing the ammonia soaked crystals

He jumped around the ring in agony,
and, as he was still unable to see at
the end of the ten minutes, there was
nothing to DO but call off the bout.

and disappointments of life infinitely
better than the man who always looks
at the dark side. The man who loves

with bright, sunny soul.

S1O,75O FOR CHARACTER.
Publishing His Picture in ROguc's
Gallery Ruined Boise Man.

Because his photograph occupied
space in the "rogues' gallery" at the
city hail from April, 1903, until June
p, 1905, George Leppert wants dam
ages from the city Of Boise and Will
liam Bryon in the sum of S10,750, the
odd change being for loss OF work
occasioned by the ruined character
given him, while the $4,000 is for
compensatory damages, says the Boise
Capital News.
A suit was filed in the district court
today, entitled George Leppert VS.. the
city Of Boise and William Bryon, with
Judge H. A. Alden as plaintiffs at
tOrney
1t appears that on April s, 1903,
Leppert and Floyd Rose were arrest
ed, charged with assault to commit
murder for the purpose of robbery on
one Joe Dunnigan, who lived in a sort
OF dugout on the banks of the river
At the preliminary hearing Leppcrt
and Rose were discharged, the evil
dence being insufficient to hold them
40 the district court.
In the complaint filed this morning
the charge is made that the defend
ant city caused two photographs to be
taken of Leppert at the time he was
under arrest with force and without
his consent, and that the same were
marked 81 and caused to be placed
and published in what is termed the
"rogues' gallery" in the city hall, and
the city authorities persistently
continued to publish and display tht
same until June 21, 1905, at which
time the photographs were delivered
/ to the plaintiff at his request.
