dee outpointed Eddie OKeefe in ten
round engagement last night. OKeefe
had a big lead for four rounds. but grew
careless and ran into a punch that sent
him down for the nine count in the

but was in bad shape. his legs being
weak and his punches lacking steam.
Dundee forced the fighting for the next
four POUNDS. chasing his foe around the
ring with telling body punches.
O'Keefe, seemingly badly beaten, made
great finish. trading punch for punch
with Dundee. but he could not offset

gagement ever staged here.

COLONIAL MANTELS
Valuable Antiques Among Second
 Hand Building Materials
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 It is a fad for lovers of antiquities to visit the yards of dealers in second hand building material, for there valuable finds are sometimes made. Old mahogany doors, colonial mantels, hand wrought iron posts garden embellishments and sometimes chairs of ancient pattern come to light and are quickly snapped up by artisans or collectors
 To send colonial mantels to New Eng land and hand wrought iron work to Vir- gina may seem like carrying coals to Newcastle, but according to the dealers orders for such articles are frequently received from regions which have long been considered fountain heads of colo nial relics
