Ordinary Ten Round Bout.

"Wild Bob" Moha, the sturdy Milwaukee
middleweght outp6inted Fred Hicks OF
Detroit by slight margin I'm ten rounds
OF ordinary boxing at the Madison A. {.
last night. Mona boxed well within HIM
self at all times and never appeared to be
extended to the limit.
Hicks, on the other hand, never got over
his stage fright until the final round, when
he fairly showered right hand punches to
the law and had the better Of the eX-
changes in the last two minutes. 1t was
too late to overcome the lead on points
which Moha had piled up.
Hicks conducted a mastery retreaf
throughout the FIRST round, with the thought
uppermost that he who fights and runs
away will survive to fight at some future
date. lie made a few desultory jabs at IN
tervals, but the sturdy little Moha brushed
them to one side and shot home his punches
to the face or body.
Hicks grew little holder in the second
period and used right hand cross to inc
jaw The blow landed, too, but Bob sun
ened his short, bull-like neck and took the
wallop without blinking. Bob then did
little landing on his own account, but he

Hicks drew the cheers Of the crowd In
the ninth round by crossing his right to the
face several times, but, as In the early
rounds, the Milwaukee man took 1t without
ever backing up.
Hicks had the better Of the final ROUND
the fastest of the bout. He opened up py
crossing a right to the jaw that drove BOD
back, but both were glad when the bell
rang.

the negotiation of a treaty of peace
that viii be acceptable to all the

Hon. Henry Mccall Very III.
The Chief learns with deep regret
Of the critical illness of Hon. Henry
Mccall, a foremost citizen and sugar
planter of this parish, who is feared
to be on his deathbed in his city resi-
dence, No. 6023 Prytania street, New
Orleans. Mr.. Mccall has been in
failing health for the past three
years, but he was apparently SC much
better when he returned in October
last from a sojourn Of ten weeks in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New
York, that his family and friends
were hopeful of a permanent i'm
proyement. Three weeks ago he was
again Frustrated, however, and it is
understood that a consultation of
physicians has resulted in the YER
dict that his condition is hopeless and
the pro1ongation of his life only a
question of days The principal all
ment from which the patient suffers
is said to be cirrhosis of the arte-
ries, now complicated with paralysis
of the left side. Mr.. Mccall has
spent most of his life in this commu-
nifty and for more than a quarter of
a century has been at the head Of
the Mccall Bros Planting and MfgSs
Co., Ltd, whose magnificent Evan
Hall plantation is one of the largest
and finest sugar estates in Louisiana
He is respected, esteemed and be-
loved among all classes OF As
tensions people. who will share The
Chiefs sentiments of sorrow that
his active and useful life seems
drawing to its close.

GREETING TO JUDGE WORKMAN

GREETING TO JUDGE WORKMAN.
Hon. Charles T. Workman, Judge
elect of The twenty seventh judicial
district, comprising the parishes OF
Assumption, Ascension and St. James,
subscribed to the oath of office this
forenoon and entered upon the dis
charge Of the duties of that high and
honorable position. BY way OF greet
ing and congratulation to the talent
ed and worthy young iurist, the mem,
bers OF the Ascension bar entertained
him today at a dinner at the Hotel
Donaldson, the function proving a
most felicitous one and affording
much pleasure to all who partlci-
pated.
Judge Workman is. a native OF Vir-
ginia, 40 years of age, and has re-
sided in Assumption nearly half of
his lifetime, having settled there in
1893. For six years he. pursued the
occupation of a public school teach
er with marked success, studying law
ii connection with his other work;
returned to Virginia and passed the
examination for admission to the bar
before the supreme court of that
state; came back to Louisiana and
passed similar examination before
the supreme court Of this state in
1901, and has been in active practice
ever since, associated with Hon.
John Marks and more recently also
with Hon S. A. Leblanc, the three
forming the law firm OF Marks, Wor-
than & Leblanc, of Napoleonyille.
In 1908 Mr.. Workman completed his
Identification with Louisiana by mar
rying a. charming Assumption girl,
Miss Edna Dyer.
A close student and a painstaking
practitioner, with a dignifled yet g.
NAL personality that gained him a
host of friends and Well-Wishers, it
Is not strange that his candidacy for
district judge should have met with
hearty approval and earnest support
among the voters Of the district, and
that a majority was given him in the
January primary election over a pop
ular opponent. This nomination was
ratified without opposition at the
general election in April
There can be no doubt that the
confidence Of the people thus ex-
pressed will be demonstrated to have
been fully justified by the record this
able and welIbalanced judge will
make upon the bench. His friends
feel assured he will follow worthily
in the footsteps of Judges Duffel,
Guion and Leche, whose judicial ca
reers have shed lustre on the adj
ministration of justice in this dis
trict.
Judge Paul Leche Of Ascension, af-
ter twelve years of service on the
district bench, has been deseryedly
promoted to that Of the court of APP
peaIs and will begin his duties in
the higher sphere of judicial action
next March. District Attorney P.
H. Gilbert, who like Judge Workman
halls from Assumption, was elected
without opposition for a second term,
and the efficient manner in which he
has filled the office during the past
four years offers ample assurance
that he will. be equally efficient in
the future.
The Chief esteems tt a pleasant mi
vi1ege to congratulate all three of
these estinable citizens and capable
judicial officers Judge Workman up
on his elevation to Che bench, Judge
Leche upon his promotion to loftier
station, and Mr.. Gilbert upon his re-
election.
