Indianapolis Middleweight
Again Proves Ability to
Win Out of His Glass.

Jack Dillon. the Indianapolis mid
dleweight, has again proved his ability
to 90 out of his class and win in a
decisive manner. Jack can make 100
pounds without weakening himself in
the least; but il seems that he pre-
fers to fight around 170, where he does
not have to make any weight. rather
than get down to any poUndage for the
smaller man. Dillon has after said
10 pounds TO % any time, to taking off
five pounds to meet a smaller man.
Gives Away Is Pounds.
When he met Gunboat Smith in Mil
Waukee. Dillon gave about IS pounds
and won in q decisive manner Re
Gently he met Jim Savage, Of New
York. in a 10-round contest and gave
the eastern man n severe whipping. de-
spite the fact that ne gave away fully
% pounds in weight Jack scaled a
little over III pounds. while Savage
weighed nearly 1872 Dillon put savage
10 the floor for the count of nine on
three different occasions. which shows
that he must carry a very heavy wal
lop for a man Of his size. There is no
man in the country better entitled to
the light heavyweight championship
than Dillon. and If there is anyone who
wants to put in a claim for IT. they
viii have to first tackle the HoOsier.
May Go to Australia.
There was talk Of matching Dillon
and Nike Gibbons some time ago. but
il is not likely that Jack viii want
20 make the weight now. although at
that time he offered to put up $4,000
forfeit TO make 1JS pounds at o'clock
for a championship fight with Gibbons.

An Appeal to Citizens.

We are engaged in a supreme effort
to rid the State once and for all of the
evil effects OF the sale of liquor. The
approaching election Is the most i'm
portant which this State has held in a
quarter Of century. 1t Is Of the ut
most importance that every citizen
should go to the polls prepared to
cast his own ballot, and also prepared
to give his time and his energies and
his best Judgment to obtaining a full
attendance of his neighbors at the
polls on election day.
In behalf of the moral welfare; in
behalf Of the physical welfare of the
present and future generations Of the
State; and in behalf of the financial
prosperity of our State. we appeal to
every citizen to register his own con-
viction and to make the majority
against liquor so great that there
may be no doubt as to the real senti-
ment of this State. and as to the
power and influence back Of the en-
forcement Of the law after it is voted.

AMERICANS UNDER ARMS.
Stand Ready to Meet Any Emergency
That May Arise on the Border.

otohu Itcauy I'D MceC ANY Emergency
That May Arise OH the Border.
Washington. Sept. 5.-Al United
States troops on the Mexican border
were under orders tonight to be in
readiness to meet any emergency.
War department officials said extra
ordinary viligance had been ordered as
a result Of repeated raids in American
territory by Mexican brigands and SOL
diers and renewed reports Of prepara-
ton for an organized invasion from
across the Rio Grande.
AS long as the Mexican raiders con-
tinue TO appear only in small bands
1t Is understood they will not be fol-
lowed into their own territory. OIL
cials indicated that the American
commanders would not hesitate to
pursue the enemy until they were
completely routed should there be
anything like an organized invasion
of the United States.
Persistent reports that some Of the
Mexican raiders who have been slain
wore Carranza uniforms and that
there Is a concerted move by some
Carranza leaders to arouse Mexican
sentiment against the United States
brought a denial tonight from Eliseo
Arredondo. Carranza's confidential
Washington agent.
The Pan-American conferences
may meet this week. They now are
awaiting Gen. CarranZa's reply to
their appeal for peace conference.
