ton" through pounding each
other.
The affair was all prearranged, &C.
cording to the stories of both parties.
Waxing warm in a telephone CONVEX
sation with Greenway shortly before
8 o'clock, King challenged him for q
bout at Five Points; and Greenway,
equally miffed, accepted; an arrange
ment which afterward proved ex-
tremely gratifying to a multitude OF
IanS VINO gathered around.
All 6eIlserents Satisfied.
The bout was called after five
rounds by two police officers who were
long delayed in breaking through the
Gordon that surrounded the ring In
front of the Fourth National Bank
Building. Both men said they had
their fill OF satisfaction. and both
claimed victory. The nearest thing to
verdict by disinterested spectators
was the furnishing Of copies OF
charges to both contestants, which
amounts to a recommendation to Re-
corder Broyles to render the final de-
cision.
The first arrangements of the af-
fair, which grew out of animosities OF
long standing, but which both of the
principals refused to touch on except
vaguely, had to be changed on ac-
count Of an unforeseen delay. Mr..
King lives at No. 80 Moreland ave-
nue., and Mr.. Greenway at No. 1914
Whitefoord avenue so near that they
eaten the same street car
Mr.. King had called Mr. Greenway
over the telephone in regard to a
statement by Greenway which he said
was not true. They agreed to catch
the sos Inman Park car, ride down
town in the same car in peace and get
off at Five Points and settle the mat
ter. Mr.. King caught the car, but
Greenway did not, and 1t looked as
though the whole affair was off.
Challenge Is Renewed.
No sooner had Mr.. King cooled down
and started TO work in his Office in
the Fourth National Bank Building
than his telephone rang loudly.
You didn't meet me-" said voice
he recognized as Greenway's.
You didn't keep your word" an
swered King, his smoldering wrath
rising again.
Il missed my car" returned Green
way, but I'll meet you now"
IAN right" answered King. Where
are you now?"

Greenway.
Thinking that Greenway would
have a second, Commissioner King
asked his brother, r. w. King, to go
along.
In front Of the Fourth National
Bank Building they met.
Spar for Opening.
Round king and Greenway rush
ed up to each other. you've got to
retract that statement" said King,
pointing his finger at Greenway.
IF you want to fight, here l am"
answered Greenway. The passing
throngs of men stopped and gathered
around. Many women hurried away.
Round liking and Greenway were
within arms reach Of each other, and
King shot a heavy right at his oppo-
nents face Greenway countered with
a right to the body. Both men stood
several feet farther apart than az
the beginning.
