hauled on into Plattr-niouth and the

Lifting of the Dtbt Incurred

from Friday's Ii.au y
Last evening the members of the
local council of .the Knights of Co

ing and which to the membership
v,as most important as it marked
the final clearing of the debt that
has been held on the hall since its
purchase by the Knights from the
A. O. U. W. some sime ago.
The reports -were received from
the various comniinees connected
with the recent tartar beld by the
council which r.ettfd them a sum
rufficient to allow the hall to be
cleared of debt and in this the coun
cil was more .thr.n -successful as the
event gave splendid results.
Resolutions were adopted thank
ing all those who bad assisted in
making the event a sticces? and to
those who had contributed to Ihc
many booths that were operated dur
ing the bazaar.
The members enjoyed a sraoker as

GO TEN ROUNDS TO
WELL EARNED DRAW
Murphy-Schlaifer Eoxing Eont in the
Metropolis Last Night Proves
Highly Pleasing to Fans.
?rom Friday's Dallv.
"Ten -rounds to a well earned
draw" was the verdict of Referee
Leo Shea at the close of the Murphy-
Schlaifer bout in Omaha last night.
Shea proved one of the best referees
ever seen in an Omaha ring and hails
from New York, where he occupies a
nrominent olece among the Empire
state's licensed referees, and has of
ficiated in many Madison Square bat
tles in the past few years.
The fight was a slap-bang afiair,
with both contestants drilling in for
more, and even averse to quitting
when the gong sounded in a number
of the rounds. Murphy perhaps land
ed more head-rocking blows than did
the "Kid," but the. latter's reign of
body blows were beginning to tell
on the Denver boy"s endurance near
the end of the fight.
In the language of Sandy Griswold,
"When two strong, game and clever
young athletes are going like this
pair was, "up to and after the finish,
it would be hard to see where either
of them had sufficiently the best of
it to give either the fight."
In the semi-windup Gus Bloomberg
got just the kind or a drubbing we
predicted yesterday he would, at the
hands of Frankie Murphy, the Chi
cago flash, the only remarkable thing
about the ten rounds being the game
ness of Bloomberg to stand up under
the punishment be took. Welch is
about as fast as double greased light
ning but lacks the punch necessary
for a haymaker.
In the four-round curtain raiser,
Terry O-Mallory drove Frankie Woods
to the woodshed in the second round.
It was O'Mallory's first professional
bout, and he acquited himself most
creditably before the crowd of more
than 7,000 spectators.
The second preliminary between
Duke DeVol and "Squint" McKenna,
bantamweights, ended disastrously
for "Squint" half a minute after the
third round opened.
The large crowd, undoubtedly the
largest ever present at a bout in Oma
ha, is a complete vindication of the
$2 top price, and it seems reasonable
to expect that the day of $5 shows
of this class are at an end in. Omaha.
Every available seat on the main
floor was taken and many stood while
the balcony afforded only a few scat
tering empty seats.
Omaha's next fight will be Febru
ary 22nd, under the auspices of the
American Legion and Jake Isaacson,
matchmaker for the Legion, promises
a high class card, although he is not I
the participants in the main event
will be. Leave it to Jake, though,
to hook up a real battle.

SEEMS TO BE
IMPOSING ON THE
GOOD PEOPLE
What Locks Like Organized Effort
to Graft on Charitable Pec pie
of City, Showing Up.
Residents over the different sec
tions of the city have in the last few-
weeks been visited by pa rues who
,have by spring-ing a nard luck story
secured various sums and many arti
cles of food and clothing to help out
th-a supposed suffering ones.
The matter has been looked into
and it seenis that it is more of a
ca?e of professional begging than
anything else and in which the gctod
hearted and generous people cf the
city have been made the victim of
the systematic raMs cl these per
sons. There is no one hardly who would
net aid to their fullest limit those
who are afflicted and in real want
and especially in cases where there
are families involved and women and
children suffering from the necessi
ties of life, but that the charitable
housewives and residents of the city
should te Imposed upon dots not
seem right and detracts from the ap
peals or the really deserving when
they are compelled to ask aid of the
public.
In this particular cae the parties
involved have drifted into the city
and the male attachments of the
party have made little effort to do
anything, seemingly willing that tha
women and children get out and
make a thorough canvass of the
homes of the city to secure what
they want or need.
Even a few cases of pernicious sol
iciting would be tolerated but when
it has grown to be a habit it seems
