Atlanta Lad Badly Beaten in
Encounter With Columbus
At Albany Last Night
A number of Americus fight
hns went over to Albany last flight
jlto witness the White-Boorde battle,
'• in which the Columbus ‘lash again

’the boy from Atlanta, winning
easily in the third round
The fight was a fight from he

fans tells of the White-Boorde bat
tle“Dictk White the lad from Cdum-
the word ‘'beat”, could possibly
mean White not feeling his best,
I went into fight from the first gong,
■having met Boorde on a pievious
which made sparring un-
neccessary. (
“Well to make a long s|ory short,
White landed a right jab to the
stomach with the first brief sec
ends of the fight and knockked the
fight out of Boorde for the night,
all told Boorde kissed the deck six
times during the two rounds of
battle, and when the third round
came up it found Boorde hanging
by thread. Boorde’s secosd seeing
his condition threw in the towel
giving White the battle with out
further struggle.”
White is to meet Gibson! hero
July 23rd as all fight fans proba
bly know and so many victories for
White makes things looks much
dark for Bud Gibson, his next op
ponent.
When Gibson is asked how he
feels about the fight, he merely
says "if White’ is a better fighter
than myself I take off my hat to
him; if he’s-not I’m sure he’ll do
the same.”
It is expected that this will be
a good battle between Gibson and
White and that the public will wit

upon an electrically charged iron
manhole top in the street in front
of 718 North Spring street, Julia
Murray, colored, 3 years cold, was
picked up a few minutes later and
taken to Johns Hopkins hospital,
where she was pronounced dead.
The manhole top is marked as
the property of the Electrical Com

duit which it covers is believed by
police to have been responsible for
its becoming electrically charged.

sued for breach of promise.
Turning to more serious subjects
Mr. Davis said:
“I have set out on what s nr .dr
ably the greatest adventure chat
can come into the life of any Amer
ican. It is a grand thing to realize
that in a country where two poli
tical parties, fight our battles and,
when it is all over, join shoulder to
shoulder again. This is the grea.-
pst indication I know of the pop
ular government on which this
country is founded. We have prov
en that there is no danger to human
liberty.
“I believe that all free govern
ment comes from the people and
not from any source downward.
The country is what the mass cf
people make it.
“We have cast our all upon that
principle. We have trusted our fu
ture to that creed. Security, pro
gress and prosperity lie in the keep
ing of the individual citizens. We
shall have good government in New
York, if we have good government
in Nassau county. We shall have
good government in the United
States if we have good government
in New York, and so forth. If we
begin, man for man, and woman
for woman, to do our duty we may
trust that the labor of the mass
will show in the happiness of the
whole.
“That is as near to a political
speech as I intended to get until
after the notification is over. I
want to thank you for your kind
ness in the years gone by and for
your generous reception tonight.”
