MORAY SAYS MATCH
is PRIZE FIGHT OR
FRAUD, AGAINST LAW

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 19.-Governor
McCray today sent a letter to Sheriff
William Anstiss, of Laporte county, in
which the executive declared that he
is convinced that the Dempsey-Bren-
nan fight at Michigan City is prize
fight and therefore prohibited by law.
The governor prepared the letter sew
eral days ago. but at the request OF
Michigan City residents delayed send
ing it. In revision of the letter made
today the governor said: ITO my mind
it is clear it is either intended that the
affair is to be prize fight or else the
public is to be badly disappointed IL
not defrauded. In any event there
would be violation of either the writ
ten law of the state or the unwritten
common law of fairness and equity"
Legion Post Withdraws
The Michigan City post of the
American Legion under whoseaus-
pices the Dempsey-Brennan bout was
to have been held Labor Day, informed
Governor McCray today that it would
withdraw from the exhibition.
Announcement of the withdrawal
was received from L. D. Brown, chair.
man of the post boxing commission.
The message from Mr. Brown was re-
ceived shortly after Governor McCray
had sent his letter to Sheriff Anstiss.

1923 COUNTY BUDGET
TAKEN UP SATURDAY
BY COMMISSIONERS

Discussion of the 1928 budget for the
county occupied the members of the
board of county commissioners
throughout the morning session Satur-
day. Estimates made up by various
county officials were looked over and
tentative amounts were set down for
the action Of the county council.
Taking the stand that to make an
appropriation at this time would in
fluence the voters of the county, the
board decided not to insert $4,000
appropriation in the budget for the
erection of a hospital at Smithfield.
This means that action is to be SUI
spended until the vote of the people
in the fall has decided whether or not
the hospital is to be established this
year.
The exact form in which the ques
ton is to be put to the voters will be
worked out later, they decided.
Need of better heating facilities al
the county infirmary was brought uE
