YANKEE BOXERS
 DEFEAT BRTT0NS
Shugrue Makes Moran Quit and Dundee Beats Sapper
 O'NeiI.

1 American boxers triumphed over the representatives, of England in the two international contests / at Madison Square Garden, New York, last night Joe Shugrue of Jersey City, compelling Owen Moran to give up after seven rounds in the final event after John ny Dundee had gained decisive hon. ors over Sapper OtNei1 of England, in the ten-round serni-f1nal,
 The finish of the Sllugrue- Moran battle was a dramatic5 one The little Britton foreto1d his defeat at the end of the sixth round, when She literally dragged Himself to his corner, puffing hard and shaking his head as if to say that his battle against time wassa hopeless one He went back after the minute rest and managed to cover Up his growing weakness, though the tide was surely setting favorab1y for the aggressive young Jerseyite. When the bell changed at the end of the round Moran started for his corner. then turned on his heel at the center E of the ring and dramatically held up his hands, acknowledging defeat
 The move took the crowd by sur prise and at first there was an incIin- ation to jeert Moran for quitting. A few hoots and jeers broke loose be- fore the crowd caught the move in the proper spirit. and then the jeers turned to cheers. There was no de- nying that the Briton had made game battle, but youth had to be served Going to the ringsfde Moran remarked between hard breaths:
 ssF'ourteen years is long time to be in the ring, and guess T have about reachedX the end.''s
 When he climbed out Of the ring a minute later Moran was greeted with eheers. It was deserved tribute for d boxer who has faced all corners up to the lightweight class for many Wears
 The ten-round semi final between Johnny Dundee and Sapper o'Neil re- suited in the first setback that the English boxer has suffered since. he came to this country a8 few months ago. He left the ring badly marked up. and if he had not done so much holding it is. doubtful that he would have gone the ten rounds under the terrific attack of the little Italian. Both of @O'NeilPs eyes were cut, as was, also his right ear, and he bled from the nose and mouth in the closing rounds.

Today In Pugilistic Circles

1s97-Dfck Burge and Eddie Con molly fought 10-round draw at Birm- ingham, England. sBurge was consid- cred one of the greatest English 1ightweights, and unbeatable at his weight, until he went up against the little F,rench-Canadian, Kid Lavigne That bout took the ginger out Of Burge and he was never the same again. Burge was nearer a middle weight than a lightweight when he fought Lavigne, but Tor all his advan- tage of weight and height and reach he didn't stand a chance with the Saginaw kid. In tI1s early xseunds Dick put up good battle, and a time or two his friends thought he might win over the ttbloominss little kiddie'' from America, but as the fight pro- gressed Lavigne had it all his own way and won by a knockout. The betting was. five to one in favor of Burge, and the Americans present won small fortunes

A BIG TROUT
Caught With Hands Gets a Fisher
man Into Court.

Belle Fourche, June 1S.-E. A.
Cade of this place was found not
guilty by the court and the charges
against him dismissed, when the ac-
ton started by a fish warden named
Edholm, was brought up for trial last
Thursday. Mr.. Cade was charged
with illegal fishing for the reason
that he used his hands in landing one
of the largest trout ever caught in
this part of the state, weighing eleven
pounds dressed and measuring %
inches. After some three witnesses
for the prosecution were called and
sworn, and before the completion of
their testimony the suit was abruptly
closed by the dismissal of the action
and the discharge of the defendant.
The court found that MI. Cade was
fishing with an ordinary rod and
troutline with one hook, and that he
had made use of no illegal device
whatever and that the bringing of
, such a suit was absurd. The warden
narrowly escaped having the costs OF
! the case taxed against him as he had
acted contrary to the advice of vari-
Gus attorneys whom he had consult
ed. but this was not done for the rea-
son that it did not appear clearly that
| the suit was malicious, because the
warden had a very limited knowledge
of the game laws of the state. The
| decision OF the court met with gen
| eraI approval.

Reversed.

trial procedure by the Dakota Gen.
trail Railroad company, defendant
and appellant. the supreme court has
reversed a verdict against the COM
pany in the Codington county circuit
court and ordered a new trial. The
plaintiff. Hauff and Storomo, sued for
destruction of an automobile at a

company called one of the plaintiffs
to the witness stand and sought to
bring out a conversation between the
two plaintiffs. in which n of them
was alleged to have said: This
would not have happened Ii you had
been watching your business instead
of putting on your gloves"
The majority edict of the supreme
court holds that the supreme court
must assume the truth of the plain
tiffs' testimony as to the whistle OF
the engine not being blown, but a
dissenting opinion by Whiting and

these men that they did not hear the
whistle is not conclusive proof that
