COfFROTn'S FIGHTS
MAY BUILD ROADS
"Sunshine James" Offers San
MafeO Township Proceeds
of Prize Mill
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI
~

lNFStt0f DtSPdtCH ~ 4 HC S0Nl
SAN MATEo. April flames W.
Coffroth, through Supervisor James P.
Casey, has offered the first township,
that section near Co1ma, the proceeds
of a prize fight to be given in his
arena next month.
This action on James part comes as
a result of the agitation against prize
fighting in San Mateo county and the
agitation of Sid Hester to get a fight
permit for his Mission athletic club.
At the next meeting of the supervisors,
week from next Monday. both. ap-
plications come up before the board.
District Attorney James j. Bullock
stated some time ago that the law for
bade, he had discovered, fights in the
county, and since that expression of
opinion the citizens opposed to prize
fighting have had high hopes of elm
mating the sport. They prepared a pc
tition over two months ago asking the
supervisors to shut down on the mills,
but Coffroth was in Europe and no
action was taken on it.
Then Hester invaded the field with
a request for a permit and CoffrOth re-
turned TO find a hostile community and
a rival promoter.
So through Casey he announces that
a prize fight will be held in May and the
proceeds turned over to the road fund
of the first township.
When the petition for permit, with
Hester's petition also. comes up before
the next meeting of the board. a lively
squabble is promised. Meanwhile the
citizens are asking, rs it a bribe?"
1t is noted that the citizens of the first
township where the roads are to ben
eft. are not active in opposing the
fight

can give this court seven weeks dur
ing the January term; this Is the
longest time he can devote 10 the
Audrain court. Another factor in
making the January term the best
for a long session is that Jurors
can be gotten better at this time
than at any other because the far
mer Is not so busy.
In the early days Of the county q
term over three weeks 10 length
was considered an extra long one,
but as the population increases, the
length of terms does likewise. The
Audrain county court is one Of the
busiest in Central Missouri and the
are longer than in most other
counties.
