The distressing accident that oc-
CURED on the canal last summer In
which the late Mr.. John Halford met
most untimely death. is recalled
this week by the Twin Falls North
Side Land & Water Co conveying to
the widow of the deceased four resi-
dence lots located near the old Nib
ley-Channel lumber yards. and which
are valued AT about $1,000. together
with $500 in cash. The donation by
the company Is most highly appreci-
ated by Mrs. Halford and her friends.
and probably some arrangements will
be made to build her comfortable
home on the lots. This liberality on
the part of the company Is practical
evidence that all corporations are not

PIVOT PUNCH
Greek BattIer in Great Fight
Against Newsboy Champ for
5 Rounds-MCMahon Wins.

one Of the most thrilling scraps

7 y one Of the most thrllllng scraps
staged around here in some time,
Kid Young, the newsboy cham
pion. stopped Kid Brown, the durable
Greek fro.a Terre Haute, Ind, in the
fifth round with a pivot punch that
landed square on Browns jaw and
knocked him cold.
The boys put up wonderful battle
while it lasted and the Greek scrao-
per deserves much credit for the game
fight he put up. Although pitted
against a boy who has a record Of be-
Ing Auanta's best fighter FOR his
weight, Brown kept boring in under
an Ad Wolgast shell and until Young
caught him with the fatal punch
seemed sure Of golno the limit Of six
rounds
Youngs victory last night proves
that he is one Of the greatest little
ringmen Of his weight He carries q
powerful punch in his right hand. bat
has one big fault of sticking out his
jaw. Against a boy carrying a stiff
punch this habit Of Young's may
prove fatal one Of these days
Brown need not feel discouraged by
his defeat, as he was forced to give
away about FIVE pounds in weight aad
against a boy Of his own poundase
should have little trouble getting on
around here.
Jack McMahon, OF Kansas City won
his third victory Of this week over
the Knockout route when he STOPPED
Eddie Collins in the fourth round Of a
fast go. Mcmahon is a tough battler,
and it will take an 9wfuily good boy
of mis- weight to beat him. A stiff right
to the jaw put Collins away after ne
hit he canvas five times.

and after stopping Joe Turner In HE
