$4,000 BREACH OF
PROMISE SUIT SETTLED

A verdict for $4,000 against a
Candy man in breach of promise
suit brought by German created a
great deal of interest at the court
proceedings in Granite Falls last
week.
The facts in this case are that John
Maier of Candy had gone to Germany
some years ago and brought his bro
theirs widow, Mrs. Worrlein, back
with him to act as his housekeeper,
his wife having died. 1t had been the
latter's wish that he marry the widow
and this arrangement was agreed up
on between them.
However, Mr.. Maier made another
trip to the old country and while
there married another woman, whom
he brought home here. This caused
Mrs. Worrlein to bring suit for
breach of promise, with the above re-
suit in her favor.-Sacred Heart

HONE BOY
LACKING

BOSTON. Feb. 10.-Bruce Flowers,
the New York colored lightweight,
carried too many guns for Dick
"Honeyboy'' Finnegan, the Dor
chester sensation. receiving a close
decision after ten rounds of fierce
fighting. 1t was one of the best
lightweight battles seen in this city
in a number of years, and the vast
crowd that was packed to the raft
ers. although favoring the local
pride. gave Flowers a great hand
at the end Of the fray.
Fer the, first five rounds it
was anybody's fight, but right
here Flowers seemed to solve
Finnegan's style of fighting, and
nom then on managed to pile mp
enough points TO gain the ver-
dict. In the tenth round Flow
ers came out of his corner full
of pep and kept slamming away,
and it was this showing that
caught the eyes If the judges.
In spite of this flash. the colored
. boy from the big city was rather
lucky. for "Honeyboy" was in there
all the time. slamming away and
scoring with numerous blows to the
body.
Many of the fans thought the
Dorchester boy should have received
the award. Finnegan hurt his hand
in the third round and this slowed
him up a bit. but his old fighting
heart kept him in there all the
time.
An offer of $4,000 was made
