THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : TUESDAY , OCTOBER 18. 1898. FISTICUFFS TO A FINISH Hot Sports Witness a Sure Enough Mill a1 South Omaha. ANDY DUPONT PUTS OUT BILLY WALKEF ScUo In I In- Uoiifilrcnn In AVIilul Sell-lire OiitN Mttln PlKnrr , lint \p Tlln'lr ii ( lie Clnrct Flum. For many a weary moon .Omaha sporti have wended somewhat . weary way south' word to the Magic City In rho iiopo of wit nessing -fistic mill on the level , but on every Oceanian they have been regaled with n rehearsal of a fake that has been toe coarse to pass muster. Last night , how- every , a select ! few who had the gumption to toco the stinging whips of Boreas hail the pleasure of witnessing In the home of the South Omaha Athletic club a stuffed mill uolree which was conclusively on the square , Inasmuch as one. of the main participants was sent to the Queonsberry limbo Hilly Walker , a pugilist who baa made 111 ; homo In this city for some months , was the individual who was given the ticket ol transportation Co a ten-second lodging on the floor of the roped arena and It was fur nished by the good right glove of Andy Du pont , a hcavyttvlght of Kansas City. It waa not a scientific bout by a good deal but the knuckle warriors were well matched claret was spilled , plenty of Sharkcy wal lops were exchanged and consequently the rather small crowd departed with the satis faction that they had fully received thcli money's worth. The affair passed on Bmoothly. Harry Motmhan , nn exponent ol the fistic art who halls from San Francisco , acted as an acceptable referee , even thougt bo overlooked llttlo encounters rhat bore the nspcct of fouls. As has been Inulmated , sci ence waa at something of a discount In the affair and minor breaches of Queensberrj etiquette wero'entirely Ignored by the crowd Diilinnt I'uruL-N the 1'lulit. Dupont compelled Walker to break ground nlmost from "the commencement of the bout , The first round was not of a disquieting character but even In this Dupont gave o hint of the outcome of the affray. In the second the Kansas City fighter landed re peatedly on the enemy's vlsago and finally , Just before tlmo was called , ho landed .1 wallop on Walker's noao that caused the gore to flow. This blow really started Walker along the groggy way that ended In Ills downfall , but he put up a game flght In the remaining rounds of the bout. In re taliation , Walker sent In one or two Intc Dupont's short ribs , but the Kansas City lad had n clever but unsatisfactory way ol dropping upon his knees to escape the swing ; and rushes. In the third round Walker rushed his man to the ropes , but ho could not take ad vantage of the opportunity and before the round closed Dupont was raining blow upon blow on his frontispiece. Walker was ex- licctoratlng claret when ho retreated to his corner. The minute Interlude- mended Walker's bellows and ho returned to the game with energy , but his blows lacked Htcam. Ho uppcrcut and swung , but the blows when they landed did not appear tc Iihazo the flgher from the Kaw. On the other hand , Dupont watched his opportunlt > and In each round drove homo some punches principally on the face , that counted. Out III tinThirteenth. . The bout coi.ilnued In this way until tin twelfth round , although Dupont once ap piled his left poultice to Walker's heat with eulllclent force to 'keep the latter 01 the ground , for the full ; ten seconds , litho the final round of the tragedy ( Dupou Htartcfl to wind up matters' . He rushet Wnlkor repeatedly , landing blows on heui and body. The buffeting was plainly mnk Ing the local man groggy and finally tin point of his jowl was made the termlnui of a swlpo from his opponent's right tha brought him to > the floor. This nettled tin battle of the folded digits , for when the tci BPConds was counted Walker was still lylni In a trance on the platform and had to In carried to his corner. Dupont was there fore declared the winner of the $100 purse. Dupont was seconded by Jim Ilrady , E < Kearney and Oeorgo Nolan , , while Walke had Ed Nobles , nilly Lambert and Ilarr ; O'Neill for seconds. Before this main even ot the evening a four-round prellmlnar ; was given by Jimmy Adams and Hill ; Lambert , which resulted In a draw. At th conclusion of the main bout Adams chal lenged Dupont. Shortly after the close of the fight Walke lost consciousness and was In that condltloi at 3 o'clock this morning. Physicians workei over him for some tlmo and had consider , able doubt about his recovery. KVKXTS ON Till : III .VMM ; THACKS AVIiuirrx of tin- Day lit l.ntoiilu TriK'U Cliic-liiiuitl. CINCINNATI.

There was a deal of discussion stlrrei up at last night's meeting of the Board o Education by Van Glider demanding wh ; the resolution adopted at the previous meet Ing , opening a room In the Davcnpor school , had not been carried out. Dr Moore got through a motion to rcconsldc that action , but the board again decldci to open the room by a vote of 4 to 10. It re fused to reconsider the room In the Amble school. Some of the members of thq bean thought the opening of these addltlona rooms means simply an extra expense o | 2,000 a year for extra teachers , Janitors services and other Incidentals , whereas th children might do better In the way of In atructlon by going to the larger school : near by , the Davenport being fully as dls tant to many of them. The High school question did not comi up. save that Mr. Penfold reported in formally that the attempt last Friday nigh to bavo a mass meeting at the Commcrciu club rooms had proved a failure througl want of attendance.

An Inquest to Inquire Into the circum stances of the accident that resulted In the death of llttlo G-yeur-olJ Ignazzlo Hossc last Friday was held yesterday afternoor In the office of Coroner Swnnson. Ten wit nesses were present to give testimony , bill as only two saw the accident from begin ning to end and as the others were unable to tell anything that would shed additional light on the subject , only six were exam ined , the rest being excused. The two whc gave all the details of the affair were Oeorgo Christiansen , the motorman on the car which struck tbo child , and William Edghlll , a policeman who was riding on the front platform of the car when the accldenl occurred. The testimony of these two met agreed practically In every respect. Edghlll was the first witness called. HI ; story of tbo accident was that the little Ilosso boy was running In the- same direc tion as the car was moving , up the hill , bul at a faster gait and headed across the track ; that tbo child ran around the corner of the car and In front of It and would have crossed In safety had he not stopped when the motorman sounded the gong and faced tha car. The brakes were Instantly applied and the car stopped before It had gene tor feet farther , but not In tlmo to save the llttlo fellow's life. Edghlll testified thai the boy was not seen until ho was square ! ; upon the track and from the way ho was running ho could not have been seen be fore. The story of the motorman was prac tically the same. It was shown that the car was moving at a moderate rate ol speed and that the policeman and the mo- tormanl were not holding a conversation , a ! bad been stated shortly after the accldenl occurred. The conductor and three passen gers were examined and their testimony substantiated the evidence given by the others. As It was pretty well established by the evidence that the car's crew was blameless In the matter the Jury's verdict to thai effect waa expected , but as no questions had been asked with reference to the equip ment of the car with life-saving guards 01 to the probability of death being prevented In this case by such equipment , the parl of the verdict charging the street car com pany with criminal negligence for not pro viding such guards was something of a sur prise. The verdict returned by the Jury , aftei having been out for about half an hour , was that the child died from Injuries received In the accident , but from the evidence II could not bo found that the motorman 01 conductor were In any way responsible , Continuing , the Jury expressed the bellel that the street car company was crlmlnallj negligent In falling to provide Its cars wltl proper appliances for protecting the public , REPUBLICAN MEETINGS DATED County Committee Flicx the DntcM for Sonitt Local nnlllen Oilier Political Note * .

The prayer of all must bi "Lord Jesus , grant us that which enlighten ! the mind , purlflcc the heart , bplrltuallzes tin affections and elevates the roul. " What concerns us Is how to do tbo worl here. Every true believer is a missionary He will ask what he must do and where li his field. What U right at our door Is nt doubt providentially com in It ted to us Turning a sinner from the error of hip \vaj Is saving a foul from death. This work Is ai stupendous in Its results as It U glorious Persli'tent Importunity is required , All thai have been eminently succesvful have beer men of strong faith and steadfast prayer Think of the marvelous results of the six teenth century ! Tbero were giants of faltt and prayer In those days. The methods best adapted to the great work In London darkest England , Paris and Berlin or New York , Phladelpbla anc Chicago may not be the best for Lincoln or Omaha , nut as our work Is here wi want to know how to do It.

Twenty-second Infan try , who Is conducting the mustering out of the Second Nebraska volunteers. It wns announced by Colonel Bills yesterday that discharges will not be Issued until October 24 , four days later than had been expected.

Colonel Bills has been ill with malarial fever and Is still far from well , so that ho has been unable to look after the work with his usual attention. An Idea of the labor Involved may bo gathered from the statement that the record of each soldlei In the regiment from enlistment to discharge must be transcribed In live copies.

With only twc or three exceptions they were found to be In eound health and the authorities at the camp are very much pleased with the showIng - Ing made.
