We believe the report has been
greatly exaggerated concerning the
city's frog pond and fishing place in
the middle Of the Buchanan street,
between the homes Of Ed Townsend
and R. B. Johnson. While a sign
has been erected there which reads (;
"Fish and Frog-Pond Reserve. own
ed and operated by the city council
$40 Fine to Fill Pond" II still re-
mains fact that the pond has not paid
decent dividend during the past
three years, and il is more than like
ly that they will sooner or later again
turn this spot into public highway.
Some Of the most enthusiastic MIN
rods on the Board are now driving
TO Blue Pond and elsewhere TO do
their fishing. which indicates that
the city's pond is getting to be a
poor fishing place. The frogs, too,
are Of small slender legged variety
and it seems impossible to raise the
large green ones successfully for
lack Of sufficient shade. We are Of
the opinion that citizens in that vi
entity are undaly excited abou, the
pond being made larger and taking
in individual property, and that the
report TO that effect has been great
ly exaggerated

An Undesirable Retailer.

A woman entered the writer's
home yesterday peddling a bunch Of
toilet articles and soliciting trade.
She would have the ladies' Of this
CITY believe that our local merchants
don't carry anything in this line
worth a pinch Of snuff. The refusal
OF our women folks to purchase any
Of her goods lead her to make re-
marks that we're on the verge Of in
sulting. We have investigated and
find that this woman had no license
to retail goods in Hickman-much
less TO insult ladies who do not buy
OF her.
According to her own statement,
her sales here Tuesday must have
been fully $50 worth. We find that
she has oeen coming here for about
three years. taking this business
away from our local merchants.
This is not right. II is an injus-
tice to our merchants to pay license,
taxes, etc., ard then have similar
stock sold by house-to-house can
vasers who pay nothing.
Another thing. the ladies Of this
city will find il a great deal more
satisfactory to buy such articles OF
our merchants-not only in the mat
ter OF price. but quality as we'll.
AS for US. We don't take any stock
in peddlers, and take the liberty Of
appointing ourselves a committee OF
one to get right in behind them when
they get to operating in this city
without license.
We're for the Hickman merchants
sos days in the year.

Cross was tired he stopped work, and
so did Hyland This is the way in
which the man from New York town
stalled off defeat till the forty-hrst
round. Had he fought himself out,
Hyland would have cleaned him up
within 25 rounds. anyhow.
One thing is certain. Never in the
history Of the Queensberry ring has
any fighter been so near out on so
many occasions as was Cross. You
could not count them on both hands
and both feet combined. and you would
have needed an adding machine to
come anywhere near turning the trick.
Nobody who saw the mill could have
been led to believe that any fighter
could take so many chances and still
get by. 1t looked like a combination
of gameness on the part of Cross and
bone headed work on the part of Hy-
land.
NEW YORKER is CLEVER
For the first 10 rounds Cross was
surely Hyland's master. He displayed
a clever but peculiar style of boxing
and he kept his left hand in Hyland's
face continually, varying 1t with few
rights to the kidneys. He was fast
on his feet and his judgment of dis
tance seemed good. Hyland was wor-
ried and seemingly despondent, and the
dentist had an air of confidence that
assured all his hackers. He was sail
ing away under a favorable breeze,
but he did not show up with an inn
pressive punch in any round.
In the twelfth Cross started off with
a rush, putting three lefts and two
rights to the jaw without a return.
These seemed to send Hyland back and
apparently to worry him. Cross was
fighting strong and leading the way.
His admirers yelled long and loud and
conditions favored him all along the
line. Nobody was reckoning with Hy-
land.
But the unexpected happened when
Dick swung a right to the New York
er's jaw and sent him partly to his
knees. Instead of getting right UP he
nopped down again when he saw Hy-
land rushing at him, and Referee Roche
was compelled to interfere and Jerk
Cross to his feet, amid the misses of
those who thought that he was about
TO quit.
This was really the turning point of
the battle. Cross never posed as the
aggressor from that time on. Hyland
seemed TO be much stronger than he
was in the earlier rounds, and Cross
apparently had his fears. He did not
come in with those straight iefts nor
those hooks nor those body punches.
That swing of Hyland's put the fear
in his heart
The fourteenth was not an eventfuI

CROSS GAMEST MAN
WHO EVER FOUGHT DICK
By DICK HYLAND

WON the fight just as 1 said I
would win, though 1 will ad-
init IL took me~Ionger than /
thought at first. Cross is the
gamest man who ever stepped
into the ring with me. 1 hit him
often and hard enough to heat
most any of them, but he always
came back and fought to the last
ditch. 1 was laying to put over
the knockout punch time after
time. but he was too clever and
too strong and too game. He did
not hurt me at all, though he did
cut my face UP badly. Now L
want chance at Nelson again.
L think that my showing should

HYLAND SHOULD HAVE
WON IN TWENTY ROUNDS
By REFEREE BILLY ROCHE

THEY must all give it to Cross
u as one of the samest boys who
ever fought in any ring. Why.
he could have taken the count
from 20 of those punches that
Hyland landed on his jaw and
gone out gracefully. But, NO.
He thought that he could win
and he kept on until there WIS
no strength left in his body. Hy-
land should have won the fight in
20 rounds. He had chances
enough, but he did not follow
them up. He seemed slower than
usual TO me and he allowed Cross
to- stall him most of the time.
Cross did not seem to have a
chance left after the twelfth
round. His punch left him and
he was ON the defensive from
then till he took that fatal punch
In the body.

Gus Radetski, superintendent OF
The Central East and West lines, has
returned to Houston from an in

ton Of that system.
There is not word Of truth In
the report that the Hartman inter

Groveton, Lufkin and Northern rail
road" said MIR. Radetski Saturday
afternoon in conversation with a
Post representative. 1T is true that
made a business trip over that
line, but 1t was merely such trip
as sometimes make over other lines
having no direct connection with the
Hartman system
Mr. Radetski reports very ia
vorable condition of affairs all along
the line of the Houston and Texas
Central and Houston East and West
Texas railroads
Everything is in fine shape,
said he "and there are indications
of good traffic movement in fruits
