ONTIER. VOLUMF YXVHL O’NEILL. NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21. 1907 ~ NUMBER V. McCarthy (lues Down and Out. In the Fightli Round. JACK SULLIVAN MAKES FRIENDS O’Neill Boxer Creates Favorable Im pression Among Admirers of Man ly Art at Sioux City. The O’Neill sports who went to Sioux City last Saturday to witness the McCarthy-English tight, which was pulled off in an ice house on the banks of the Sioux river Sunday after noon, saw the tight given to English » in the eight round by Malachi Hogan of Chicago, the referee From the ac count of the tight, published in the Sioux City papers, McCarthy was not in I he tight at any stage of the game. During the first four rounds he landed frequently upon English but his blows seemed to lack force and done but little harm to his adversary. English put him to the door four times in the eight round and Jaca Sullivan, who was seconding McCarthy, threw up the sponge and the fight was awarded to English. Commenting on Jack Sullivan the Journal says: “Jack Sullivan, the tall, handsome, dark haired fellow who was the chief advisor in McCarthy’s corner, won the friendship of every man in the crowd by his earnestness and gentlemanly manners. By contrast with young Dougherty, who was very talkative during the mill, Sullivan demonstrat ( d by the popularity lie won that it really does pay to act the part of a well bred man. “Sullivan is twenty-eight years ol age and is a natural middleweight. 11 is present weight is 158 pounds. He is an electrician by trade and gets into I he fighting game only on the side. II is parents live at O’Neill, but he has made his home at Butte since he was eighteen years old. He never knew lie could box at all until he went on at Anaconda a few years ago and made $100 by staying four rounds with Jack Monroe. A year ago last February he fought Young Ketchell of Butte twenty rounds to a draw. Ketchell recently beat Joe Thomas of Frisco for th; middleweight championship, and Sullivan is anxious to make a match with him. “l'atsy Magner, the backer of Eng lish, is <iuite favorably impressed with Sullivan and called with him last evening at the Journal otlice to say liiat Sullivan would be backed at the middleweight limit. Sullivan’s confi dence in himself is evidenced by the fact lhat he is willing to furnish a good part of any bet which shall be marie that he can beat Ketchell. “Sullivan said he would like in the course of time to get a return match for McCarthy with English. He said he would want three or four weeks to put McCarthy into condition. Sulli van will leave in a few days for Phila delphia to box in the six-round bouts which are permitted in thateity.” FOR SALE—Thoroughbred Poland China boars-William Mather, O’Neill, Nebr. 22-3 For Mystic Hour, the best on the market, go to Horriskey’s. 21-3 What It Cost Them.

The Market* Sou th O malm, No vem be r 20—Special market letter from Nye Schneider Fowler Oo. It seems evident that prices must reach a lower level. There are a cer tain number of cattle on which paper is due and parties must cash up. These must, come to market. There are more on feed, or shipped out to feed, than last year; these too must come back on the market. It seems quite certain that packers will not buy them except at a lower level. There is nothing to do but eake it as It comes. Feeders surely ought to pay out to put on feed at present prices. We quote: Choice dry lot beef, corn fed#5 00(55 50 Fair to good.1. 4 40(54 90 Choice range beef. 4 25(56 00 Others down to. 3 00(5 Choice cows. 3 05(53 50 Canners & cutters. 1 00(52 25 Veal calves. 3 00(56 75 Bulls, stags, etc. 1 60(58 00 Heavy feeeders. 4 25(54 00 Medium . 3 50(54 20 Stockers. 2 50(54 00 Stock heifers . 1 75(52 75 Hogs are receiving another jolt. They are in the country and must come as it does not pay to hold them when ready for market. All indl oations are that they will work lower and we think will range around *4 25 to $4.75 for some months. Prices now range $4.40 to $4.75. There has been more activity In the sheep market this week. Feeder buy ers who have kept out hitherto are now buying. Values are 25 to 30 higher. . _ No ice.
