inch and quarter long for sixteen
months. and has now rid himself of
it in violent fit OF coughing. Ever
since he accidentally swallowed the
nail he had been seriously inconveni-
enced by its presence. but several doc
tors assured him it was practically a
physical impossibility for the nail to
be still in his interior, and that his
symptoms were those of bronchitis or
pleurisy.

WIDOW WATCHES DUEL
Jealous SWANS Slash Each
Other With Wartime
Sabers.

Lawrenceburg, Ind, Nov. Charles
W. Bennett and Otis Gooden last night
called at the house of George w.
Guard TO see Mrs. Minnie Hess Cooper
d comely widow. A quarrel soon
arose.
Hanging on the wall in the parlor
were two sabers that had been used
in the civil war by Mr.. Guards grand
father. Each man seized a saber and
a sword fight ensued.
The commotion in the parlor and the
screams of Mrs. Cooper attracted the
attention of Guard, who had retired.
He partly dressed. ran into the room
and found the two men slashing each
other with the sabers.
Bennett was proving a poor fencer,
and was getting by far the worst Of
the fight. He was bleeding profusely
from cuts and slashes, and just as
Guard entered Bennett fell on the floor
covered with blood. Gooden was in the
act Of running the saber through his
fallen opponent when Guard interferred
and fened him to the floor with heavy
chair.
The widow ran into the street cry
ing for help. Policeman Wingerter ar
rived and after struggle with Good
en- compelled him to surrender at the
muzzle of a revolver. He was taken
to Jail
Or. George f. Smith was summoned
and dressed the injuries of Bennett
There was one serious stab in his alb
domen which required eight stitches
to close. Bennett is in a serious con
dition, but viii recover unless bloo5

COURT WON'T INTERFERE
Injunction to Restrain
"Prize Fighting" Foot
ball Denied.

Kankakee. Ill., Nov. Judge Frank
l. Hooper, in the circuit court yester-
day, denied Attorney S. r. Moore's ap-
plication for an injunction to restrain
the board of education from permit
ting prize fighting" in Kankakee
schools Judge Hoopers ruling did
not recognize the synonymity of prize
lighting and football assumed in the
injunction petition.
Boards of education" Judge Hooper
ruled, have no right to interfere with
the pleasures or training Of school
children after school hours. A pri-
vate citizen has no right to interfere
in such matters unless he has sus-
tanned some pecuniary injury"
Attorney Moore made a hard fight
to convince Judge Hooper that the
term football was a mere subterfuge
for prize lighting. and as such ought
to be prohibited. Ills argument was
aimed especially at Principal l. w.
Smith Of the Kankakee high school.
and +. y. Tracy. superintendent of
schools.

In his argument yesterday in favor
of his bill the attorney quoted every
thing from the bible TO the last issue

the fate OF Cain and Abel as being
