Mr.. Betz was a brick mason by trade
and followed the occupation until he

Remains of Young
John Fischer,
Killed in Brutal Prize Fight in
Oklahoma, Brought Here for
Burial Yesterday.

The following special from Enid,
Oklahoma, under date Of Oct. l6, refers
to the sudden death, near that city, Of
John Fischer, Jr., son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Fischer, West Warren street:
A prize fighter known as Kid Fisch-
er was knocked unconscious in the
eleventh round of fight at Memo,
okla, near here, and died at 3 o'clock
this morning Of a broken neck. The
fighter who dealt the blow and after
ward gave himself up, was Frank Hall,
of Lahoma.
THE eleventh round of the fight
opened with Fischer exhausted, but his
manager urged him not to throw up
the sponge. Hall struck his opponent
apparently at will, delivering a left to
stomach and a right to the neck. Fisch-
er fell unconscious to the floor. He
never regained consciousness. Imme-
diately after the fighters death the
coroner's jury returned a verdict that
Fischer had met death from the effects
of blows delivered by Hall. The fight
was witnessed by 400 persons, includ-
ing many women and children"
Young Fischer was well known by a
large number of the people of this city,
and during the holidays last winter
he drove the delivery wagon for the
United States Express office in this
city. After leaving this city early last
year he went south and finally drifted
into oklahoma, where he gained quite
a reputation as a young prize fighter.
The lad is II years old.
The remains were shipped to the
home of his parents in this city Wed
nesday and funeral services were held
yesterday morning, interment being
made at North Grove.

guilty to stealing, was committed to
Jail last Tuesday. The Squire gave
the fellow a week in which to pay his

Victim
ofHunting FeUer

Henry Schroeder, aged II years, son
of ]. S. Schroeder, East Market street,
narrowly escaped death last Tuesday
afternoon, when he accidentally dis
charged a shot gun while hunting on
the George Wollem farm, three miles
east Of this city.
The lad was out hunting with Adam
Birch and Hubert Goudy, and while
climbing through fence he carelessly
pushed the gun through ahead of him,
with the trigger cooked and the muzzle
toward him. The trigger was pushed
against small piece of underbrush,
causing it to snap, and the contents of
the barrel was discharged. The shot
grazed the lads chin and the right side
of his neck, only one of the shot how
ever, entering the flesh. His right eye
was badly burned by the powder, and
it Is feared he will lose the sight. Quite
a hole was torn in the neck, but it is
not believed this wound will in any
way prove serious.
The lad after being injured was help
ed to the George WOllam home, about
quarter of mile distant, and John
Wollam brought him to the office of
DR.. Hattery, in this city, where the in
juries were dressed.
