cIabby Hurts His Shoulder.

A Milwaukee paper of last Sunday
says: You starved fight fans who had
your mouths all fixed for nice lus-
scious battle between Jimmy Clabby
and Bob Moha at the Eagles club at
the end of the month are due. for
another disappointment, for Clabby
hurt his shoulder last night in his
bout with Mark Anderson and will
probably be unable to fight.
Clabby only got draw with Mark.
though every one thought he would
win in easy fashion over the lanky
Chicago scrapper. The fans at the
battle were under the impression that
Clabby could have put Anderson out
in the earlier rounds but simply toyed
with his OF Uonent. This was not the
case, for Jimmy hurt his shoulder
and could not punch hard.
The fight fans will be greatly dis
appointed to hear that the Moha-
Clabby bout is to be called off. They
are. starving for battle and if the
affair had been pulled off the house
would have been crowded, for the bout
was sure to have been a good one.

His name is Herr Straik and he is
the son of a prominent Munich brewer

will put up the other $4,000 when
necessary to back Straik against all
American Corners.
Interest in bowling has developed
wonderfully in Paris recently under the
patronage of a MY ber of well known
Americans. In the central part of
Paris alone there are now over thirty
American alleys and these are Occur

BURNED TO DEATH.
Free Delivery.

Tillar, Jan. 13.-A desperate at tempt to escape from jail made by two prisoners resulted in their being burned to death Mol- day. The men were George La cey and Jesse Collins. They had been confined in the city jail on minor charges and planned to escape by means of a fire alarm it is thought. The prisoners set fire to the structure and then cried for help. which was not an- swered as promptly as they had expected.
 Their cries gradually turned in- to frenzied screams of terror as they saw the flames getting be- yond their control outside the bars where they were confined, Before the jailer arrived with the key the building was a mass of flames and nothing could be done by the horror stricken persons who had heard the alarm until the keys arrived. Then it was too late and the building was soon consumed, together with the bod ies of the prisoners.

WHIPPED TO DEATH.

One of the most revolting out rages that ever occurred in Hampstead county was enacted last Sunday afternoon near Bells mill, 12 miles south of Hope. After a creful investigation of this outrageous crime The News find the facts to be about as follows.
 Riley Meal, a negro man of family, who is said to own 700 acres of land in the neighborhood of the mill, became enraged at negro boy named Luther Bass, II years of age and grabbed him by the throat stripped him of every vestige of clothing tied him securely to peach tree and with a wagon whip and a peach tree limb. beat him to death. This occurred Sunday afternoon about four o'clock; after becom- ing tired of his diabolical and in- human work. Meal left his vic tim and the next morning the boy, Bass, was found dead tin his bed The authorities were noti- fled and Dr. Gosnell our coroner went to the scene summoned a jury, and after hearing the evil dence the jury returned a ver- dict holding Meal responsible for the death of the boy. Dr Cos nell at once placed Meal under arrest and brought him to the nearest telephone, when Meal was released, R. l.. LaGrone tol- ephoning Dr. GoSnell that he he would be responsible for Meals appearance in Hope. Meal came in the next day and tave bond in the sum of S1,OOO, with R l.. LaGrone and Thomas Boy cit as Sureties.
 The above are the particulars as we have gathered them from Coroner GOsnell and from the verdict of the jury in the case. And this is Hempstead county L. Hope News.
