the coolest reported. In Kansas
above zero was the coolest reported
for the night. Amarillo reported

San Francisco on the ZeaIandia. This
was the same ship on which another
famous New Zea1ander, Bob F'itzsirn-
mons, came to America the following
year.
Billy Murphy defeated Johnny Grit
fen in San Francisco soon after his
arrival, and then took on Frank Muir
ply, the hero of the Indiana fight.
The Birmingham Murphy proved to
fully a match for the Australian Muir
ply and after twenty-seven rounds
had been fought it was called a draw.
Early in 1890 Billy was matched with
Ike Weir for the featherweight title,
and the Fox diamond belt. The Spi-
der more than held his own against
the Australian until the fourteenth
round, when Ike pulled one of his
stunts by turning a, back flop in the
ring. Murphy took advantage of the
funny business to land MS famous
Mary Ann and Ike was counted
out. The first Murphy to hold a, worlds
title did not long retain his honors,
but he fought several good battles,
Including a forty round draw with
Johnny Murphy in Boston, before he
returned to Australia and settled
down as a tailor.

Tenants in Black Rock
Foil Landlord Who
Would Raise Rents

How tenants in a store and tene-
ment in Black Rock near Brewster
street overcame a proposed rent in
crease is today the general topic of
conversation in the ne1ghborhood.
Having two stores on the street and
about tenements above, the stores
renting for $18 and the tepements
from So to SO per week the landlord
decided to collect $35 for the stores
and SIS and $40 for his tenements
He therefore in person notified the
tenants that they would be expected
to pay the raise or move.
A hurried conference of the tenants
resulted in the selection of a general
to manage their campaign. 1t was
suggested that with six months rent
in their hands they visit the agent of
the property in a body This was
done and the agent, having no know
ledge of the contemplated raise in
price unsuspectingly took their
money, based on the old rental, and
issued receipts for six rndhths in ad-
vance.
Though the landlord frets and
fumes at the clever ruse which se~
cured continuance of occupancy un-
der che old rates, he is unable to do
anything at law.
