told her he had sold the claim against

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
YOUNG COTE WINS.
Knocks Out Kid Stringer Of Augusta
In Fourth Round.

The principal interest in the boxing
exhibition held Friday evening at the
headquarters of the French NaturaliZa-
ton and Social Club, State street,
North end. centered in the bout be-
tween Young Cote of Biddeford and
Kid Stringer of this city. The little
hall in which the bouts were held was
completely filed and by the time the
main bout was ready to go en- even
standing room was at premium.
In the fourth round of what was TO
have been a six-round bout Young Cote
of Riddeford knocked out Kid Stringnr,
but the outcome was not entirely sat
isfactory and in some quarters the
referee was criticised. Cote forced the
fighting throughout but it was not
until the beginning of the last round
that Strnger appeared to have decid-
edly the worst of it, The round was
hardly well under way before success
sive right and left jabs on the face af-
minisrered by Cote sent Stringer down
for the count of eight. He had barely
regained his feet when the Blddeford
man landed left handler upon his jaw,
which sent him to the floor. StrlnScf
did not rise until the referee had count
ed 10. although he was apparently IN
condition to continue.
The first preliminary was three
round go between William Poulin OF
this city and Fred Bolduc of Water
vile. Both the young men have &
whole lot to learn about sparring and
the bout was amusing, when the two
contestants began to get trifie angry
and mixed things up a little with no
particular regard for the rules of the
game In the second preliminary
George Gilbert and Kid Albert appear
ed for a four round go. Gilbert was IN
no condition, while Albert appeared TO
be in excellent shape. so that it was
not at all surprising that although the
bout went the entire four rounds set
for the preliminary Albert had the ad-
vantage throughout The only time In
which it looked as if there might be a
knockout was in the third round. when
Albert had Gilbert going, but his OPP
ponent rallied and landed left handler
square in Albert's face.

REFUGEES AT BOSTON.
Two Score Arrive Friday To Begin
Life Anew In America.

Boston, Jan. 22.-The sympathy.
which was worldwide in extent, and
the heroism of Queen Helena, who
FASTENED to Sicily at the risk of her
life, with King Emmanuel, was the
burden of the prayer of thankfulness
hc,l two score Italian refugees from
the earthquake zone uttered as they
stepped ashore from the steamer Ro-
mario today and gained their adopted
ed land.
The Doman;c came directly from Ma
pies and brought a number of those
who early made their escape, after
many narrowing experiences. from the
scenes of death and devastation. Near
~ all had tales of hairbreadth escapes
from being crushed in the ruins or
overwhelmed by the tidal wave. The
haggard expression fixed upon their
faces by the sufferings and terrors of
the days and nights while awaiting for
relief were still noticeable as they
came down the gangplank of the
steamer today, but the sight OF the
faces of their friends and relatives
awaiting on the wharf with out
stretched arms of welcome brushed
away the look of care and left one Of
hope and thankfulness.
Many of the Italians were returning
to their homes in this city, while 9TH
ers were leaving the ruins of their for
mer homes in Italy to build new
homes for themselves in America
These latter brought little with them
Even the clothes on their backs had
been given them and some of them
were thinly clad. The New England
weather, however. held out a gentle
hand. for the air was unusually warm
and balmy when the foreigners reached
Boston.
