PRIZE-FlGHT
ON SUNDAY
Portuguese Badly Hurt
in Bout With
Gloves.

A brutal prize-fight was pulled off
In Honolulu on Sunday afternoon. and
as a result one of the participants was
Yesterday confined to his bed
One of the fighters was a young
Portuguese and the other native
Both are lightweights.
There had been bad blood between
the two for some time and the sports
of the Punchbowl district got up a
purse for the boys to scrap for.
The ring was in a house near the
junction of Nuuanu street and Pauoa
road, and the premises were packed
with natives and Portuguese long be-
fore the fight commenced.
The Portuguese boy commenced ag-
excessively but weakened before the
first round was over
In the second round the face of the
Portuguese was cut to pieces and blood
streamed from it.
The boy was in such bad way in
the third round that some of those
present stopped the fight.
The Portuguese could hardly walk
and went home, remaining in bed until
yesterday afternoon.
His friends claim that his opponent
put up a job on him by doping the
gloves It is said that cuts were made
in the leather and ground glass and
pounded lava rock filled in. This prob
ably accounts for the shockingly lac
Grated condition of the Portuguese
boys face.
The police allowed the brutal exhi-
bition to proceed unmolested; at least
they made no effort to put stop to it.

BURGLARIES
KEEP R|GBT on

Every day nowadays brings out {
fresh burglary story. Last Sunday
produced two, one at the residence
OF Judge Frear on Punahou street, and
the other from the home of the chief
engineer of the Rapid Transit Com
pany, in the grounds adjoining the COM
pany's powerhouse.
The exact time of the robbery at
Judge Frear's is not known, having oc-
Cured some time prior to Sunday af
ternoon. The Judge is out of town and
his absence has been taken advantage
of by the japanese servants, who have
left the place unoccupied a good deal
of the time. Returning on Sunday they
found that the place had been ran
sacked. Until the return of the family
it will not be known what has been
stolen
In the other affair the daylight burg
lar was at work, the room of Frank
Boyer being entered before dark on
Saturday evening and all the loose
change in his clothes gathered up and
taken. amounting to between $12 and
SIS. Mr.. Boyer, who is the night en-
glneer IN the poWerhouSe, is on uuty
from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until
IL: 90 the following morning, his hours
being evidently yell known. as this is
the second time his room has been Wis
tied and robbed
On Sunday Mr.. Boyer reported his
loss at the Sheriffs Office and was re
ferred to Vida. Knowing that the Dep
uty Sheriff would be too busy at the
present time to look up any burglars,
he concluded to pocket his loss and say
no more about it.
In the meantime the police have ten
officers detailed on the burglary cases,
four suspects having been recently ar
rested and number of others, without
visible means of support, have been
pulled as vags and given various jail
sentences to serve.
