BUD
IS BL|GHTED BY K|LBANE
Sends Patsy Kline to Dreamland
After Four Minutes of
Actual Fighting.

PHILADELPHIA, January s.-Jon-
ny Kilbane. the fighting citizen OF
Cleveland, Ohio. crushed what had in
dfcations of being a new star in the
featherweight boxing armament to-
night, when he sent Irish Patsy Kline
of New York on a trip to dreamland
after four minutes of actual fighting.
The imported New York fighting ma
chine thrilled the five thousand crowd
at the National Athletic Club, in the
first round, by holding the monarch of
featherweights to an even break. The
shifty Kline met the cool and collected
Kilbane with rights and lefts and ap-
peared confident that he would be able
tie.
Left Hook to Jaw.
Like a thunderbolt out of a clear
sky the masterful Kilbane pounced
upon the New York youth at the start
of hostilities in the second session.
After less than one minute of fighting
Kilbane uncorked a left hook that was
a bulls eye on Klines jaw Irish Patsy
toppled to the floor and was in no hur-
ry to again get to his feet. He finally
arose after Referee McGuigan tolled
off nine, but he was SO helpless from
this terrific left punch that he forgot
to cover up his jaw as he raised him
self to his feet. The crafty Kilbane
took advantage of the opening, shot
right to the same spot on Kline's Jaw
and the budding featherweight fell in a
heap.

ter Haven, and Precincts Nos 10
and 25, Lakeland A recount Of Pre-
cinct SO, North Lakeland, was also
asked for, but rs one of the inspect
ors on June 6 has since died this
recount was dispensed with. The
Winter Haven precinct was the only
one in which no change OF figures
was made by the recount. In the
four other precincts there were err
rors in tabulating the first and sec
ond choice votes though it was en-
tirely apparent that these errors
were wholly unintentional.

PARTY TO LEAVE
TOMORROW NIGHT
TO Carry BONDS
TO new YORK

AS stated in the Evening Telc-
gram about two weeks ago, the Polk
county road bonds are to be carrie
to New York by j. C. Swindell,
chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners and j. A. johnson,
Clerk of the court. These gentle
men will be accompanied by Hon. C.
A. Boswell, representing the buy
ers of the bonds, A. b. Leach &
Co.; Hon. l.. C. Johnson, attorney
for the Board of Commissioners; and
Mr.. A. J. Holworthy, secretary of
the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce,
to whose splendid work is due in
large part the success of the bond
election, and who it is eminently ap-
propriate should be present on the
occasion of the delivery of the bonds
and the payment of the money
therefor
Unless something interferes to
prevent, these gentlemen will leave
tomorrow night, sailing from Jack
sonville on the steamer Mohawk for
New York on Saturday. Mr.. Swindel
will be accompanied on the trip by
his wife. The party have been ten
dered substantial courtesies on their
arrival in New York, by Mr.. w. F.
Hallam who has made arrange
ments that will greatly enhance the
pleasure of the party during its stay
in the great metropolis.
This will not be entirely junket,
because it means real work and lots
of it for Messrs Swindell and ] A.
Johnson If you think they are go
ing to have nothing but fun, Just sit
down and sign your name six thous
and times. That's what each of
these two gentlemen will have to do
during their visit to A. B. Leach &
Co.'S offices. The bonds are in three
thousand separate pieces of CONNER
cial paper, and each of these will
have to be signed twice by both the
chairman and the clerk. 1t will take
several days of good, hard work to
complete this task, and during this
time there will be little time for
sightseeing.
AS explained heretofore in this
paper. these bonds could have been
signed here and sent by express,
but money rates would be charged,
and the cost of transportation would
run up to about Thousand dollars.
1t is cheaper and safer to take the
bonds up unsigned and convert them
into the equivalent of money by
signing them after they are safely
in Leach & Co.'s offices.
Mr.. Holworthy will remain with
the party until all the details of the
transfer have been completed, rem
dering such assistance as he is able,
and will then go to Washington,
where he will be the guest for sew
eral days of Mr.. w. F. Hallam. He
will be gone about three weeks.
