buildings occupied by colored families
will be condemned by the Board for

than they are worth. The buildings, it
is said. are nothing more than shacks,
and are unfit for habitation.

 FIRST ROUND OF MILL Gruelling Mill is Pulled Off In
 Louisiana. Staying Qualitiss of the Indianapolis Boy, Come AS . Great Surprise
 to Big Crowd at the Ringside.

New Orleans. Sept. 19--Ray Bronson. of Indianapolis. fought Packy McFar- land, the lightweight champion. twen- gruelling rounds before the Westlak Q Athletic Club. at McDonoughville. just across the river from this city. this af- ternoon. to a draw.
 Mcfarland perhaps had a shade bet marked superiority on the part Of either man. The first round was de- cldedly Bronson's while the last was Netherlands. The other rounds, in nearly every instance were fairly shar- cd as to points by opposing pugiiists. Each man took heavy and continued punishment. and for this reason there was a decided degree of slowness in the bout
 The contest was a clever one throughout. Mcfarland pursued his favOrfte method of infighting, forcing clinches whenever possible. Bronson also showed a tendency to employ the same methods
 Most interesting round of the fight was the first. In this Mcfarland came perilously near losing his battle when brought him to the floor. He rose al- most immediately, however, and Bron- son was unable to follow up the ad vantage
 Bronson. for seventeen rounds, con- tiuued strong and active, meeting all of Netherlands aggressive advances with spirit. In the last three rounds he seemed to slightly weaken, bu; managed to hold his own.
 Young Dillon of Indianapolis. Bron sons trainer, knocked out Kid Sparks of Louisville. McFariand's trainer in the second round of the only prelim mary.
