1t is reported that over SIS, 900 worth

of the McInnis Bros. and was in the
Panhandle yards before it was checked.
Conditions around the yards were such
that it would have been impossible for

such the past week that it could hardly
have started from any ordinary cause,
and in view of the fact that there have
been several fires at lone the past month

there is firebug at work in that vicinity.

STUFF IS OFF,:
HOPE ABANDONED
Last Conference Between
III. A. A, Officials and Po-
lice Anent Fight.

President Mason of the Hammond
Athletic association gave up his last
hope of staging the SchlossbergO'Neil
fight at the II. A. A. club Thursday
night when he again met the police
officials yesterday afternoon and was
Informed that they still stood pat that
the fight could not be held.
Mason first tried to file an injunction
against the police from interfering z
with the fights. and when this fell
through Mason's only hope was to go
to the police department and offer a
number of propositions, which were de-
clined
Mason's first plan was to stage the
fight in the open in the II. A. A. park
and donate part of the money to some
public institution. This proposition
and many others We're looked over and
none of them looked any better to the
city officials then the former sugges-
tions.
So there, will be fight at the II.
a. A. club next Thursday night, aSd it
is doubtful if the lid will be ever raised
again. as the city officials think their
laws have been violated twice and it is
just as likely to happen third time.
