The decision was a sur prise to the majority of the three thousand people present, it having been generally un derstood there was to be no decision If both men were on their feet at the end of twen ty-fifth round, unless, perhaps, there should be a decided difference In the condition, of the boxers. Both men were certainly In very good condition at ihe end of the twen ty-flftn round, although Dixon had done the better work of the two. Grlffln, surprised his frlenns by the game manner in which ho took Dixon s punishment, and they con fidently expected a draw. Dixon was seconded by Tom O'RourRe. Maurice Kelley ana Joe Gordon. Attending Grlffln Vrere Ladle Conley and James Robinson. Both .men weighed in this afternoon at 326 pou.ics. Dixon being a trifle the lighter. Ia the first round Dixon started apparently to end up the fight and landed he?.v.!y twice. Grlffln was forced to the ropes at the end of the third and was sent down by a right-hander on the Jaw. but he got up again and pulled off the round by clinching. Throughout the fifth round Dixon continued In the aggressive. Dixon landed his left on the nose and nn -aiccd in a rlrht when the men clinched. Gi ii.in ducked into a terrific upper cut. Both exchanged right and left before the end of the round. In the sixth, Grlffln partly closed Dixon s left eye. The seventh was a terrific ere. Dixon repeatedly Jabbed Griffin, cross countering effectively several times. Work was very rugged throughout witn honors about even. By this time it was apparent that the winner must do some lively work to get a decision. Dixon was planning his fight on this line, while Griffin's fine training was manifest In his abil ity to stand un under severe unishment. Up to the fifteenth round the pace was a hot one, then both men eased up for the next five. In the twentieth Grlffln changed his tactics, and swung hard on the wind. Dixon tried to stop with the left, but was avoided. Both men began to show the ef fects of their work, and the next two rounds were slow. In the twenty-third Dixon tried hard for a knock-out. but did not succeed. The remaining two rounds were comparatively tame, and it was apparent that Grimn had lots or fight in him. For the preliminary there were eight rounds of hard fighting between Johnny Briggs. of Waltham. and Mick Doherty, of Boston. In the seventh . Doherty was knocked down twice, but as both men were up at the end of the eig h, the bout was declared a araw. . MAY SHOOT AXD KILL. Sheriff Cabell Has Porter to Stop Prise Flshtlnfc. AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 27. To-day Attorney-general Crane gave out his second opin ion anent the Corbett-Fitzslmmons prize fight at Dallas, in October. This opinion was called for by an Interrogatory prorounded by Sheriff Cabell, of Dallas county. a3 to whether, in suppressing the fight, he was Icrally empowered to shoot and kill those who interfered with him. The matter waa referred to the Attorney-general by the Governor, and he to-day handed down Tils opinion, holding that in the lawful discharge of his duty the sheriff certainly had the richt to use firearms if emergency derr.cnrkd. The Attorney-general bases his opinion on the statutes governing riots, etc. lie holds, as a premise, that the participants in the fight, their seconds, referee, etc.. will comprise more than three people. and, inasmuch as they are assembled for the purposo of violating one or the statutes, they arc an unlawful or riotous assemblage, and lay themselves liable to summary dealings if the emergency arises. The At torney-General argues that these fighters, with all those In attendance, will certainly be a gathering in violation of the law. and that under the law the sheriff or any sworn peace officer is bound to disperse said as semblage at any cost. As to the Question of killing those who Interfere with him, the Attorney-general cites ' Article 66 of the penal code, which says: "Homicide Is Justifiable when necessary to supress a riot, when the same Is attempted to be sup pressed In' the manner pointed out In the code or crime procedure, ana can in no way be suppressed except by taking life.' The Attorney-general also adds, at the close of his opinion, that, while h does not think there will be any occasion for the sheriff to shoot any one in a peaceable city like Dal las. that, if the emergency does arise that it will necessitate his shooting and killing ' those who Interfere with his duties, that he will In no wise be held responsible for murder.

PERU, Ind., Aug. 27. The beginning of the second annual free street fair, held In this city to-day, was a great success. Gov ernor Matthews, with his staff, as well as State, county and city officials,' .were present. The city is n holiday attire over the event. Bunting, flags and a profusion of decorations mark the sixty-ninth anniver sary of the city. Fully 15.000 people from adjoining cities were in attendance. The reception to the Governor was one of the most elaborate and enthusiastic of any ever given. The Governor's appearance on the platform was greeted with a suc cession of cheers. Hon. A. G. Bearss, of Peru, Introduced the executive, saying: "Illustrious persons have occupied the po sition of Governor. The present chief ex ecutive is a worthy successor of his illustrious predecessors. At the request of our people, he has honored us with his pres ence to-day. I have the honor of introducing to you Gov. Claude Matthews." After the cheering ceased, the Governor advanced to the front and spoke as fol lows : "Ladles and Gentlemen and Fellow-cltl-zens To say that we are glad that we are here to-day and have been gratified with this extraordinary novel feature and inno vation u)on the system of the custom of fairs in the State of Indiana would be feebly expressing it. The well-known hos pitality of Peru always guarantees a welcome to Its visitors, for it is a city famous for Its hospitable gatherings, Its barbecues. its clam bakes; and this week is destined to add another leaf to the wreath In that enterprise, the street fair, in Indiana. To say that tills magnificent display has been a success -would create no surprise with your visitors to-day. for it is and ha hopn known that the citizens of Peru seldom. u ever, ran in tneir public enterorises and undertakings. We are especially glad to oe wttn you nere on this occasion and to participate with you in celebratine. as I understand It, the sixty-seventh anniversary of the original founding of this beautiful city, which so rests like a gem on the broad and generous bosom of Indiana and so well adorns the beautiful banks of the historic Wabash to-day. In witnessing this demonstration of an active, earnest and progressive people; In -witnessing the illus trious cnspiay. tne advances which have been made in the arts, the sciences, in agriculture and In commerce, the view of mat nere to-nay so well marks the Droerress of a people in the grand march of civil ization; and this, too, by a people who have always kept well to the front, the contrast is strongly drawn with the - days -when your fathers, the hardy plonfeers, first came to this beautiful land, and, overcoming almost Insurmountable obstacles, began to lay the foundation for that wonderful prosperity to which you, as a people, have attnM. "While rejoicing' In thfs nrosnerltv. mv reiiow-cuizens. we snouid not foreet th . . - disasters of the past, and we should rememrer ail that has been encountered and un dergone, which would be difficult for us at this time to appreciate: the dangers and the aimeuities- undertaken and overcom bv those who first came as the founders of your cuy, leaving home and friends behind to brav the unknown dangers of forest and of Invading a territory of a brave and gen erous ana yet savage and hostile ceonle. ana to encounter tne yet deadlier foe of . a- - - .. . . r--m w tne early settler, the dread malaria ar1 all at the infv"inr dmnd of the Anglo-Saxon to control and dominate over all within his reach. We annreciate In men the desire to build up new and bet ter nomes ror their children. Would that the spirit of these earlv founders descended and mingled with you here. What a trans formation would greet their vision. The valleys converted Into magnificent fields of pasture and or grain, the lake and the trad ing post turned Into the palatial residence. glittering homes, and sources of commerce, an to satisfy tne wants of a progesslve ceo .pie, lost and forgotten in the luxurious de mands of the present. It would be like the wandering of a lost soul, finding no familiar spot nere wnere it could linger and rest. Wc reiolce. then. Mth you t-dnv. Mtlren- of Peru, and of Miami county, in this wonder ful prosperity, which is yours and yours to be in the future, because it Is given to you through the untiring effort and the In domitable endeavor of both mind and muscle. "I do not know of a people who have bet ter earned, or could better appreciate this prosperity tnan yours, ror yours has been a constant, steady and healthy growth. Not growth with glitter, greed or speculation, but a solid and substantial growth laid in the muscle of your workmen and brains of your people. None of us here could under take to predict what your future may be. but our hope and belief in Judging from the past will be that you will make every use of every opportunity at yaur command, and at iaFt tht the clt:aens or f'eru, the cttv of Peru and the county of Miami, will al ways be constant and well to the front among the cities and counties of Indiana. I have discovered, my fellow-citizens, that one of the necessary adjuncts of a city. county or State fair is heat. I have been suffering from that up hero in the shade. and not having a desire to be arrested for cruelty to animals, I will not keep you longer, i thank you, gentlemen." After a storm of applause. John Mitchell. an educated Miami Indian, presented the Governor with a bow and arrow, saying: "Governor Matthews, for and in behalf of John Mongosah, a Miami brave, I present you witn tnis dow and arrow, made by himself, as a memento or the great Mlam nation which once inhabited our lands, a remnant of which now lives amongst us In harmony and peace with their white neigh bors." To this Governor Matthews responded as follows: "judge Mitchell, In. behalf of John Mongosah. a Miami brave. I desire to thank you for this partially unexpected pleasure. I desire to say further that I deem It an honor to be thus remembered by one. of the descendants of that great and powerful trlbo of Indians that at one time roamed in undisputed possession of all this vast territory. I appreciate and esteem the sentiment which is also conveyed with this token of their esteem. I recall that the Miama nation was brave and generous; that it was a great and a powerful nation, extending Its control over the magnif icent domain reaching from the Scioto on the east to the Wabash on the west, from the Ohio on the south to the lakes on the north. I remember with still greater pleasure that while this nation was great and powerful It always stood for any advance of the surrounding conditions of that time; stood high in the cultivation of Its people as then measured at that time. That their people were brave and generous Is well known by all. and we rejoice today that this great Miami nation will remain with us In history and song, and clothe silver streams, fertile valleys and beautiful lands with the music of Its sleepers. This offering I esteem as fitting and appropriate from that once great people. History records that they were not only mighty, but that they were warlike: also, that they were true and honest friends, as well as brave and fearless; that they were, warm in their affection to their officers and homes, and that they were also brave and able In battle. To remember the name of that great chieftain 'Little Turtle,' is also to remember the disastrous defeat that came to our people under Harmar and Sinclair, and probably one of the most disastrous defeats ever Inflicted upon the whites by the Indians. I accept from you. Judge Mitchell, then, in behalf of the descendant of the Miami tribe, this bow and arrow, and shall appreciate it as a souvenir of this delightful occasion, and while It is lamentably true that the larger part of this race have crossed over the river and are now resting In the happy hunting grounds, let us Indulge inthe hope that they of this people who yet linger with us shall rise equal to the demands of the duties of citizenship as their own brave fathers made of the conditions and surroundings and aspirations of their time. Again I thank you." 3IOXKV TO Rl'RX. Vincennes Millionaire Astonishes the People In Iowa. Associated Press. COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia.. Aug. 27.-Leslie D.

In commenting on the legislation thus summarized, Mr. Carter said that the association. In promoting uniformity of legislation, wishes that object effected by a general acceptance of the best forms of legislation and not by bringing about merely a general conformity. Continuing, he said: "Where mutual relations are so close and Intercommunication so general and constant, the difficulties and embarrassments arising from different systems of law are numberless. If a beneficent despot had absolute rule over sixty-five millions, his ambition and perhaps his duty would be to force uniformity of law everywhere: and if our national government had the constitutional authority to effect the same result, that authority might perhaps be appropriately exercised to that end. There are none who, even for such a blessing, would accept a master, and few who would be willing to surrender the greater advantages which are supposed to flow from the division of our country into separate States sovereign for the purposes of domestic legislation. But there is no way In which a people, essentially one, can secure to themselves the prodigious benefits that would arise from a uniformity in legal rule. "Our unwritten law is already substantially the same, and that I have always regarded as an impressive reason for abstaining from any attempt to reduce It into written forms, which would at once tend to plunge it into diversity. Whatever can be done to secure this desired uniformity must be done by voluntary concerted action. The appointments made by several States during the last year of commissions designed to rorwara tnis enort, anoras us much encouragement. So far as the unwritten law is concerned, this uniformity will be approached as rapidly as should be desired by the operation of the unconscious forces of human society. The distant ideals are unchangeable and everywhere the same, and as the nations advuncs toward them they fall, or rather rise, more and more into Identity. It was this ideal law that the great Roman orator and writer declared, in a burst of immortal eloquence, was not one thing in Rome and another at Athens, and the universal cultivation of the science of Jurisprudence, will eventually produce the same plant o . every soil. But the positive legislative determinations of nations can be assimilated or reconciled only by consclentions and concerted action. Much has already been accomplisned in this direction by treaties and by those concurrently adopted regulations operative upon the sea, the common domain of all nations. The wise furtherance of this beneficent work depends on the intelligent oversight and co-operation of the enlightened jurists of the world." Following the president's address the executive committee reported the election of twenty-seven new members during the past year. The General Council reported its approval of 128 nominations for membership, all of whom were thereupon elected unanimously. The secretary reported 1,044 members on the roll besides those elected today and during the year. A balance 'of $3,700.36 was shown by . the report of 'the treasurer. - During the afternoon the session of legal education held a meeting, at which a general address was given by the chairman, Professor James Bradley Thayer, of Howard University. Papers were read on "Legal Education in Its Relations to the Evolution of Fositive Law," by , Professor Otto Kirchner, of. the University of Michigan, and on "Legal Education In England," by Professor George H. Emmett, of Johns Hopkins University. ' A comparatively small number of the delegates attended a session of the section of patent law, which was held at the same time. The Detroit Bar Association extended' Its hospitality to the American Bar Association at an informal meeting this evening. Hon. Don M. Dickinson was delegated to welcome the Bar Association to Detroit and Michigan. Hon. George V. N. Lothrop, exminister to Russia, and president of the Detroit Bar Association, being ill. Mr.. Dickinson bade the lawyers a cordial wecome, but remarked that they were to be congratulated on being In Michigan and Detroit. "A few days ago," eald the speaker, "a Senator from New .York referred to Detroit as situated on the shores of Lake Michigan. We would have him know that a commerce passes the port Detroit in but the seven months of open navigation seven times as great In tonnage of merchandise as the entire years' carrying trade of the north. Atlantic highway. And now, with our sister States of the Northwest, we were asking nay, we will soon demand a free, ana above all, a wnolly American outlet to tidewater, so that we may ship our goods to every open port on earth without change of bulk. We want you to know that we receive you on classic ground, with the influence of nearly two centuries of a progressive civilization about you. It Is fitting that the representatives of the bar of this country should meet in that State of that bench whse Judgments were, and are, cited as authoritative wherever law is administered, the bendh, of "Campbell, Cooley, Christlancy and Graves, and In the federal circuit of such Jurists as McLean, Walte, Swayne and the late lamented Howell E. Jackson." President Carter responded on behalf of the association, after which the meeting adjourned. Gen. Russell A. Alger gave a reception this afternoon at Ms residence to the lawyers in honor of Justices Brown and Brewer, of the Supreme Court, Judge W. H. Taft, of the federal circuit, and President Carter. WJIITECAP OUTltAGE. Old Woman nnd Daughter Pulled from Their lied nnd Flowed. SERGENT. Ky., Aug. 27. Great ( excitement prevals on the Virginia side! of the Cumberland mountains, six miles east of this place, over a Whitecapping outrage. Last night about 11 o'clock an unknown number of men went to the home of Martha White, a well-known woman, aged sixtyfive years, and pulled both her and her twenty-year-old daughter from their beds and, taking them to a patch of woods near their home, tied them to trees and beat them most brutally. They were finally rescued by a neighbor. To-day they are both alive, but are not expected to survive ther injuries. A posse of men, headed by Sheriff Holbroolc, o! Wise county, is scouring the Cumberland mountains for tne perpetrators and if caught the whole party will likely be lynched. bVEL IN MEXICO. , George S. Morris, nn American Mining Engineer, Shot In the Breast. GAUDALAJARA, Mexico, Aug.. 27. George S. Morris, an American mining man, was wounded in a duel at Amcca. a town west of here, by a Spaniard named Jcse Salsazar. The two men had a quarrel over a business deal and the Spaniard issued the challenge to fight a duel. Morris accepted and seconds were chosen. The fight took place on the outskirts of the town and at the first shot Morris received a bullet in his breast. He was carried from the field. A strong effort has been made to keep the affair quiet, as the opposition of the authorities to dueling ia very pronounced. No arrests have yet been made. Morris came to Mexico two years ago from Pennsylvania.

Day, a very indignant young woman In a white sweater- and dark-blue cycling cap tipped jauntily on the back of her head, dismounted from a wheel In front of police headquarters last night and sought an interview with police Captain Qulgley. Miss Day was very angry and she demanded the instant arrest of Charles Thompson, the former proprietor of a roadhouse at North Indianapolis. Miss Day said that her mother kept furnished rooms at Xo. 165 North Capitol avenue, and that Thompson was one of the lodgers. He has been paying some attentions lately which were distasteful, and she had been anxious to avoid tho man.. Last night she said she went out riding on her wheel with a girl friend, and while riding on-Washington street was accosted by Thompson. hile they were talking two young men walked by and lifted their hats. Thompson demanded to know who the men were, and the girl informed him that she did not know them. She says that Thompson grew anrry at this and struck her a violent bio v In th face. She. left him and rode at one.; to police headquarters. She told the ciptalii tljat she feared she would meetThompson on the way home, and sergeant Kurtz tfas detailed to accompany her.

On account of tho lateness ,of the convenUon it is quite Voly that the entire ticket, Including counUlJien at large will be selected. During the last few days the Rogers forces have gathered new strength and are. now making a vigorous flgnt for delegates. This has been . brought about by the open opposition that has been expressed to Taggart in the party ranks. For a while after Taggart agreed s "accept", the nomination the Rogers forces were In deep water. They thought tl entire Democracy would go for Taggart with a Whoop, but later, when it was seen that he is not looked upon by all the members of the rarty as a Moses in the time of their need, the supporters of Rogers began quietly investigating to see what force they can muster when the real flglit comes. It is claimed by friends of . Rogers that he will not go into the convention with a showing to be ashamed of, but will be strong enough to keep Taggart from walking off with the prize, on a silver platter and as they have assurance from the supporters of some of the other candidates .that Rogers Is their second choice they hope to make a good fight. .

Is readily understood, if )-ou will listen but a moment. There is just something that makes one cigar better than another. We have that something. The something' consists of fifty years' experience very few have that and a disposition to give you the full benefit of that experience fewer still do that. Our Riley 5c Cigar embodies these ideas.
