DOB knew he was taking great
ID risk in obeying Black Hawks
order to go to the Soldiers and
Sailors Monument alone. But he
dared not disobey.
He fully believed that Black Hawk
would carry out his threat. If his
order was violated, and hurl Ava to

He shuddered when he thought of
the girl he loved, imprisoned by a
maniac nearly 300 feet above the
streets of indianapolis, and in i'm

the parapet to death.
Black Hawk had captured the
Monument. It seemed incredible
But everything about the Black
Hawk case was unprecedented. 1t

Bob had told Sergeant Brown that
he was going to the Monument.

A FEW minutes later Bob left
N Brown at the corner of Wash

to the monument. The steps and

He opened the door and stepped

NEW YORK, May 12.-Return OF
big time boxing to New York, after
an absence of several weeks, was
postponed for one week when Kid
Chocolate came down with a
stomachache Thursday and said he
could not meet Seaman Tom Wat

Chocolate is regarded in New
York as world featherweight cham
pion, and Watson is the British
title holder.
Chocolates indisposition came as
distinct surprise. The postpone
ment was especially unexpected De-
cause of the advance sale for the

$4,000; because Chocolate was an

Watson, not Chocolate, was the
