TELL the people l leave behind
that 1 appreciate their good

found who will work for me and
not allow me to remain long
martyr to the cause of revenge"

upstairs and opened the door of his

Five pistol shots woke the neigh

cursed in voice that sounded like
Flynn's. Then the front door opened
and Flynn, hatless, dashed Wildly
down the street.
A minute later the door again op-

out. Blood streamed down her dress

street for distance of nearly a
square. Then she fell full length.
Intense excitement reigned about
the house, and when Frenzle came out

After the fighters had been paid off and
the incidental expenses in promoting
the bout had been settled the above
sum remained for Murphy.
The attendance was up to expecta-
tions. $3.50 being taken in at the box
office. In addition s310.s0 was raised
by subscription at the ringside, while
friends of Murphy on the outside con-
tributed purse of 1890. Attell and
Webster received so per cent of the
gate receipts. which they divided
evenly, each one getting s717.50 for
his services.
other expenditures were made as
follows: Rent of Dreamland, $50;
training expenses for Webster, $3.50.

Ed Nolan, Murphy's former manager
and the man who is responsible for the

1t is Nolan's intention to bring MUIR

steamer. The once great little fighter
is in a hospital there. and according to
his latest letter he is failing rapidly.
He wants to be back among his friends,
