ELSEWHERE in the Gazette will be
found an account of fatal prize fight in
San Francisco Wednesday in which
Harry Tenny was killed by frankie
Me-. The brutality displayed on the
par. Of the victor in pummeling his
helpless victim to death is sickenlng IN
its details. The already van snished man,
by A decision of the referee, was again
made TO face his antagonist and become
his target Tenny, knocked completely
out held to the ropes in the fourteenth
round until literally hammered down by
Neil. A night of terrible agony fol-
lowed, during which restoratives proved
unayailing to Tenny. The victor and
others are properly charged with man
slaughter. This is the second instance
in q short space of time in which prize
fighters have died in San Francisco from
injuries received in the prize ring, ana
it is high time something was being done
toward stopping such brutal and dan 'er-
Gus pastimes.

The Senate today took up the bill

the amendment offered by Mr.. LaiOllette
providing that no railway company shall
acquire any right, title or interest in

tory, and requiring that deeds of con-
veyance to the mineral lands must speci-
fv that no railroad corporation or officer
or k-hOlder in any common carrier
engaged in transporting coal from said
lands shall ever acquire an interest in
them.
Mr Clapp declared that the recent
adoption by Congress of resolution
pos,poning the sale of those mineral
lands for FIVE years made the Lafollette

Mr.. Teller favored prohibiting rail-

lands but objected to including stock
holders in the inhibition.
