Mound City, July 23.-Jack Mice, a
local pugliist, tonight knocked out Bill
Smith of rerre Haute, Ind, in the
sixth round OF what is believed to
have been the fiercest prize fight ever
pulled off in Illinois, this side of Chi.
cago.
| The fight occurred in the woods a
mile and halfgabove Mound City on
| the Ohio river and was witnessed by
about 200 local sports.
Mice and Smith, which is by the
way an assumed name, made arrange
ments some days ago for the match
but the plans were kept secret Tick

ton of the mill was not given ont I'M
til the last moment The audience
went to the ringside in small groups
and attracted little attention and the
authorities did not know of the affair
until news of the battle had been
brought back to the city
The fight was fierce and bloody
one. BOlH men are IN the middle
weight class and were fairly evenly
matched. although the local lad had
the better of the go owing to his SUI
perior knowledge of the game.
The Terre Haute boy, who came
here strongly touted proved himself
to be a whirwind fighter but he lack
ed in science and although he fought
bravely, he did not at any stage of the
fight have an advantage over Mice.
Both men took awful punishment,
drawing blood freely In the sixth
Mice landed terrible punch In the
jaw which sent Smith TO the ground
to be counted out.
The men fought for the receipts,
which amounted to over a hundred
dollars. 1t is understood that Mice !
was well backed by Mound City
friends. "" 'a97il

by several torches. The match was

When did the millionaire make his ap.
pearance In the INDUSTRIAL arena? With
the advent of the modern methods of
production Why? Because, the man
behind the modern machine can pro
duce many times more than he could
with the obsolete machine. Does he
get name times more pay? II you
think so, ! am sorry for you, for yours
is a hopeless case, but workingmen
are not SO dumb as it sometimes
seems they are. for evidence can be
seen on every side proving, beyond all
question of doubt, that the toilers
possess wei balanced, constructive
minds. Now they are busy trying to
see how much they can produce for
others to own, but some day in the
near future, they will formulate a
plan to keep the product of their toll
for the benefit of themselves

asked Mr.. Whitener.
For reply Armstrong raised
his shovel and started toward
Mr.. Whitener in threa tening
manner. Being unarmed and
and with no weapon of any kind
available, Mr.. Whitener contin-
ued to his house, forty or fifty
, yards away, the negro following

with the shovel.
On reaching the house, Mr..
Whitener jumped inside and
slut the door. Armstrong attack

ting out the wire screen and
making great gashes in the pan
els. Presently, as if realizing that
he could not break the door down,
the negro stepped out into the
yard and stopped some distance
away.
Having observed the negro's
movements from within, Mr..
Whltener took down his shot gun,
loaded it and walked out. He
called to the negro to know
what was the matter with him,
and Armstrong bristling up
again, with fury in his counte-
nance made another charge with
his shovel. stop" said Mr..
Whitener, "or | will kill you"
The negro was then within
fifteen feet. Instead Of stopping,
he raised his shovel high over
his head as if to strike and Mr..
Whltener fired.
At the report of the gun Arm
srrong fell in his tracks. The
charge took effect in his neck
and he was instantly killed.
Immediately after the killing,
Mr.. Whitener notified the sheriff
