Three of The Best Exhibitions
Ever Seen in Davenport
at Claus Gro.h.
GALLIGAN GETS DECISION

The 500 or more fight fans who
gathered last evening at the Claus
Groth hall in Davenport. where the
Davenport Athletic club gave an ex-
hibition. witnessed one of the best
cards ever presented in this section,
from the standpoint of lovers of the
boxing game. Three good bouts were
given. the main go of the evening be-
ing that between Joe Galligan of Chi
cago and Steve Kinney of Milwaukee,
The decision being given to Galligan at
the end of the 10 rounds. Abe Pollock
was referee. and in each of the bouts
ne had a difficult task in judging the
lighters A preliminary of six rounds
between Kid Delaney and Kid Allen,
two Davenport colOred boxers, in
which Delaney was given the decision,
was followed by a 10-rOund bout be
tween Tom Mcnamara of Davenport
and Kid Taylor of Chicago. The boys
were evenly matched, and the bout
was declared a draw.
In the preliminary Delaney, who is
considerably the best OF it, though AL
len fought hard, and considering that
it was but his second appearance in
the ring, he made a very creditable
showing. The pleasing feature of the
three contests of last evening was that
there was no quitting, and every one
of the boys stayed gamely to the limit.

complished in this direction. These
cities have many things in common
just as those, which are united in the
Upper Mississippi River Improvement
association, an organization which had
its conception in Quincy and is now
doing a great work. Fighting united
for the supremacy of the Mississippi
valley over the east and the west, the
individual fight of the different cities
would be made much easier and re
suits would come faster. BY attract
ing capital from other parts of the
country the produCtiveness of this ter
ritory could be multiplied and results
of which none think now would be
achieved. The matter is of the greatest

NEW COUNTY PLAN UNPOPULAR
Bellows Falls Scheme win Meet oppo.

Inc proposition Of certain Bellows
rails people To carve u new county ont
oil Windham aud Windsor counties l.

when comes up in the legislature,
says the local correspondent Of the
springfield Republican, The scheme Is
70 SCI on Windham, Grafton, Athens,

IN TINS county, and Springfield, Lud.
low, Plymouth, Cavendish, Chester and
Weston, in Windsor county, and call
the territory Cumberland county. the
name by which Windham county was
formerly known. The intention is 10
make Rockingham, which contains the
village of Bellows Falls, the county
seat ana to erect county buildings
lnere, including courthouse and Jail.
Those behind the plan argue that all
the towns mentioned would be accom-.
modated by the arrangement, which is
true to a certain extent, but il is also
apparent that the movement has been
started in the interest of Bellows Falls
more than of the other towns. A scheme
OF this kind was launched years ago by
hugh Henry, then a representative in
the legislature from Chester. His plan
was to put together Weston, Andover,
Londonderry, Windham, Grafton, Ches.
ter, Springfield, Cavendish and Ludlow
and call it Allen county, but the bill
failed to pass.
The only argument advanced ms TO why
a new county should be created is that
It takes long time to get to Newfane,
the present county seat. But on the
opening days of court a special train
starts from Brattleboro for Newfane
Immediately on the arrival Of the train
from Bellows Falls, and on the return
from Newfane there is a wait of only
about an hour in Brattleboro, and this
for two terms of about three weeks ;
duration each year. On the other hand
to create new county would discom.
mode the present probate districts and
necessitate new plan in the assign.
ment of judges to preside over the
county courts. When the time is ripe
the long.cherished plan of making Brat
tleboro the county seat of Windham
county, a plan which has been looked
upon with favor by Bellows Falls and
all the other towns in the county, ex-
eept few on the line of the West river
railroad, will be carried out. This
change is bound to come sooner or later,
whatever else is done, and when it
does there will be no further grumbling
about the county seat being difficult
of access.

many places too narrow for team and
