on Thursday evening and witnessed
rafting good exhibition of the sort
which has been quite frequent in this
city during the past few month.
The opening bout was skirmlsh De-
tween Kid Green of this city and KID
Lambert, also local, and the boys went
at each other with intent to kill, putting
up a fine smuggling match with little
science to go with it, For a first APP
pearance it was a corker, and Ne next
bout, between Spin MCGUIRE of this
city and Smiling Johnny Ahearn of
Bath, was likewise a warm engagement.
Spin having the best of the mill. He
knocked Ahearn off his feet repeatedly
with stiff swings to the jaw. but the
Smiler kept coming back in way that
won him the admiration of the crowd
and must have been discouraging to
Spin.

raine of this city and Young Pooler of

PHONE OPERATORS
DID GREAT WORK DUR
ING HOSPITAL FIRE

The general call following the first
alarm for the fire last evening at the
Augusta State hospital brought a
flood of calls at the telephone Office.
Immediately it was learned that help
was needed the chief operator. Miss
Harriet Alexander, and her assistants,
called the owners of automobiles, re-
questing their use in the carrying Of
men to the hospital.
For period of half an hour or more
the whole switchboard blazed with
signal lights. Calls were answered by
the hundreds, the operators on duty
and those who came to the office as
soon as the second alarm sounded
worked at their utmost capacity to
keep the board clear.
Manager Herbert and other employ
es were promptly at the office and 9TH
ers were rushed to the hospital that
provision might be made to keep in
telephone connection with the city.
Although 1t was one of the most try
ing times in the history of the Augusta
telephone exchange each operator re-
manned cool and handled a remark
ably difficult situation with the least
possible delay to the public.

minute Of the way, the bout being pretty
even from our point of view.
When it was announced that Chick
West was among the missing deep gloom
settled over the audience, but little Billy
Myers who acted as Chicks proxy, soon
won the crowd with his winning way,
leading the battle from the first tap of
the gong. He tucked his jaw down into
his shoulder and then started to dem
onstrate one of the most elegant straight
lefts that ever entered our fair city, Sc
lecting MacFarland's nose as the target.
The fact that Myers was considerably
lighter may have had something to do
with it, but he certainly had the crowd
eating out of the same hand he was
jabibng mcfarland with. He suffered
a split ear in the 5th round, and from
then on both men were bathed in gore,
mcfarland showing a lot of punch
ability and steam. with Myers agrees
sively ripping into him all the way,
At the close Of the sixth round Myers
got big hand as he left the ring. The
last half was as fast las the first, and
in the ninth both men engaged in a
wicked in1ghting festival, from which
they both emerged badly battered but
still willing and able.
Twas great show. and a number
of noted mixologists were there besides
those in the thick of the fray, one of
them being Barney Snyder. one Of the
trappiest bantam-weights in New Eng
land.

The origin of the fire is somewhat of
a mystery. The family had retired for
the night, and at about 1870 one of the
kitchen, was awakened by the odor OF
smoke. Jumping from his bed he dis
covered flames shooting up along the
sides of the room. and quickly gave the
alarm to the other members of the
family, who escaped from the burning
house in their night robes, barely in
time to save their lives. The homes of
neighbors were thrown open to them, and
they were welcomed to these hospitaple
homes, where everything possible was
done for their comfort The house was
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer and
their three sons. -..' ..'@'+. . p

-. On Monday number of neighbors con-
tributed their services and those of their
teams and came to town and hauled out
lumber which will be used in building

The members of the family are deeply
grateful to the neighbors who did SO
much to assist and comfort them. Mr..
and Mrs. Spencer have the sympathy of

Featured His Acts BY Shooting
Off Revolver; Struck
His Wife

From Saturdays Daily.
Too much booze last night caused
Bert Harris, local team driver, to
cut up capers with revolver at his
home at 307 Poplar street. 1t was
about nine O'Clock when he came
home drunk and said he would shoot
the first man that came into the
house. His fourteen-year- old son
Russell Harris, tells of his father
striking his mother in the head, and
of his mother fleeing from one neigh
boris house to another. The father got
a loaded gun and pursued her. Finally
after being out for some hours, he
came home, where he was arrested.
Harris appeared in the municipal
court this morning and declared he did
not fire off the, weapon, He pleaded
not guilty to the charge of being
drunk. His wife appeared against him,
and he was convicted MIarris was
sentenced to thirty days, in Jail, but
the sentence was suspended to give
him a chance to straighten up, go to
work and let liquor absolutely alone.
