In the arrangements of the fight the committee met with a num- ber of disappointments in last minute prostitutions that were made neces- - sai by Illness and particularly In the main event of the fight The main event was scheduled to be between Joe Roper, hard hitting. Omaha bxoer and Frank Gozeman of San Antonio, Texas, but a few hours before the time for the battle Goze man received the message announc ing the death of a child and had to forego the battle with Joe. The substitution was made of Sandy Mc- Dowell, well known boxer of Fort Crook, but who was a poor foe for Battling Joe as the soldier boxer was sent to the land of dreams in the second round with a fast one to the jaw and the fight was all over. , . rt i it i t I xwptr uau iucj-ruwe- u uamy outclass- - eu ana in me opening rouna oaa Sandy on the mat taking the count when the bell terminated the round. The feature battle of the card was that given by Smoky Joe Smogye, 146, and Steve Mickna, 145, both of Omaha. TheBe boys fought a draw here on a previous bill and in the fight Saturday Mickna showed much Improvement over his former style and was winner of the decision at the hands of Referee Harry Reed and a well deserved award as the clever little boxer had made a bril- liant and fast showing against the more seasoned Smoky Joe Mickna took the aggressive in the fight and all through the six rounds kept Joe busy In keeping from the receiving end of the glove of Steve , . .T - J 1 ft.AAMH Tin.1 r"UI,u uoul JTrVZ. BirdBell of Decatur and Jack Turner i of Omaha. waB a very much one id ed event as far as BirdBell was con cerned as he had Turner bleeding profusely and throughout the fight Birdsell was forcing the fighting and in the sixth and final round had Turner down for the count of eight but the Omaha boxer recovered and staid out the battle but was clearly the loser. The four round events featured in the first "Kid" Dempsey, soldier boxer and "Kid" Wooders, of Omaha, and In which Wooders inflicted a great deal of punishment on the sol- dier and had him marked up as the result of the fight, through his su- perior boxing tactics, but he was un- able to develop an aggressive that would win and the decision was for Dempsey. John Smogye, younger brother of Smoky Joe had little trouble in an- nexing his bout in the opening round of the fight with Mickey Powers and John with smashing right and left had Powers down three times in the opener when Referee Reed awarded the decision to Smogye on the knock- out. The presentation of the Danforth twins. Jack and Lucille, proved a real treat as these clever five year old kiddies gave a burlesque of the now famous "slow count" of the Dempsey-Tunne- y fight at Chicago. The role of referee was taken by Jack Barry and the trio made a very clever presentation of the fight. The audience showed their appreciation of the act of the little folks by a generous purse. The clever little Danforth twins are to appear at the Rltz theatre in this city on Tuesday and Wednes- day and the many friends here who enjoyed the show at the fight will have the opportunity of enjoying a further treat at the theatre. State Boxing Commissioner Ira Voorhls was present at the bout with a number of other Lincoln fight promotors and the commissioner handled the inspection of the fight and was well pleased with the man- ner In which it was carried out.

TOUCH OF FB0NTIEE DAYS Prom Tuesday's Dally Two young lads of this city yes- terday decided to start out in the world and in order to accomplish their desires they took the horse- back route and in true frontier style mounted their borrowed ponies and started northward to the city of Omaha. The fact of the boy's jour- ney was discovered by W. F. Evers, superintendent of the Nebraska Masonic Home noticed that the pony of his son was missing and on in- quiry of Billy, Jr., he was told that the pony had been left in his usual haunts and had not been ridden. Mr. Evers and his son then started a search for the missing pony and passing the Glen Vallery place was informed that two boys had ridden past on the pony and headed north- ward. Inquiring along the route the boys were traced through LaPlatte and finally overhauled near the ren- dering works northeast of LaPlatte. The boys had two ponies by this time and on being questioned they gave several stories of where they were going and as to their relatives. The boys were started back to this city and on the way Mr. Vallery met the party and was startled to find that the boys had annexed one of his ponies as well as the Evers pony. The boys were brought on into the city and taken to their parents where they were turned over for handling in the courts of their own home. FUNERAL OF MRS. C. W.

Baking Com panies Win Suit- - f or Injunction District Court Holds Ordinanoe of Weeping Water Is Invalid and City Is Restrained. From Von day Dati The hearing of the application of the Omaha baking companies for an inlunction arainst the city of Weep- - ing. water to restrain the city from the enforcing of an occupation tax ordinance covering the compell ing of the payment of a tax of 150 per year for the operation of bread trucks in the city, was held today and re sulted in a victory for the baking companies. The court held that the ordinance was invalid and that the city would be restrained from enforcing the or dinance against the baking com panies and accordingly the petition of the Omaha baking companies for the injunction was sustained. This matter of outside business in- - Jterests trucking products and goods into tne various towns over me Biaie is leading to the adoption of many occupation tax ordinances that seek to add a heavy fee for the operation of truck and for the selling and peddling of goods in the corporative limits of the towns. This city has an ordinance that sets the tax on the bread trucks at $150 per year but which has never been ruled on as pet by the courts, altho an action has been pending for some time on appeal from the lower courts, the action beiag held up while the case of the baking companies against the city of. Fremont has been pending in the supreme court where a decision would probably set a pre- cedent for ordinances in cities of the same class.

The announcement of the date will give the various committees time to get busy and perfect their plans for entertain- ment and other features that will enter into the Fall Fun Festival this year.

Three-Year-Ol- d Boy Has Fall Into Historical Society Abandoned Well Jackie Kuchera, Opens Well Cover and Falls Into Debris Filled Hole From Tuesday's Dail- y- Yesterday afternoon, Jackie, three- - year-ol- d sou of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kuchera, residing on east Granite street, fell into an unusued and dry well on the place and was in the well for some forty-fiv- e minutes be fore the parents located the boy al- tho they were frantically searching over the neighborhood for the little fellow. The boy hae several times ed away from home and journeyed down into the business section of the city and yesterday while the mother was occupied just a few mom ents in some of the household work the little boy disappeared and when the mother looked for him he had gone. Thinking that he had wand ered to some of the neighbors Mrs. Kuchera looked over the neighbor hood without success and Mr. Kuch era, who had returned home came down to the business section to look for the boy and the police start ed a search down town but which was fruitless. The father returned home and just about this time the mother in searching again over the neighborhood came to the vicinity of the old well and heard a slight noise as of a groan and also noted that the top of the well was open. She glanced into the well and saw the boy lying at the bottom of the well which is some forty feet deep There was no ladder of sufficient I height to permit the descent into the well and the father of the lad with Officer Dave Pickrel, a neigh bor, hurriedly drove down to the main portion of the city where ropes were secured to make the rescue of the boy. Mrs. Kuchera, the mother, was lowered into the well and was able to rescue the boy and bring him to the surface again, the mother Buffering several severe bruises ' a I she was hauled to the 'surface br the I pffnrta nf hnr hnahnnrl and Mr I Pickrel.

The four round events featuredin the first "Kid" Dempsey, soldierboxer and "Kid" Wooders, of Omaha,and In which Wooders inflicted agreat deal of punishment on the sol-dier and had him marked up as theresult of the fight, through his su-perior boxing tactics, but he was un-able to develop an aggressive thatwould win and the decision was forDempsey.

John Smogye, younger brother ofSmoky Joe had little trouble in an-nexing his bout in the opening roundof the fight with Mickey Powers andJohn with smashing right and lefthad Powers down three times in theopener when Referee Reed awardedthe decision to Smogye on the knock-out.

The presentation of the Danforthtwins. Jack and Lucille, proved areal treat as these clever five yearold kiddies gave a burlesque of thenow famous "slow count" of theDempsey-Tunne- y fight at Chicago.The role of referee was taken byJack Barry and the trio made a veryclever presentation of the fight. Theaudience showed their appreciationof the act of the little folks by agenerous purse.

The clever little Danforth twinsare to appear at the Rltz theatrein this city on Tuesday and Wednes-day and the many friends here whoenjoyed the show at the fight willhave the opportunity of enjoying afurther treat at the theatre.

Baking CompaniesWin Suit--

for InjunctionDistrict Court Holds Ordinanoe of

Weeping Water Is Invalid andCity Is Restrained.

From Von day DatiThe hearing of the application of

the Omaha baking companies for aninlunction arainst the city of Weep--ing. water to restrain the city fromthe enforcing of an occupation taxordinance covering the compell ingof the payment of a tax of 150 peryear for the operation of bread trucksin the city, was held today and resulted in a victory for the bakingcompanies.

The court held that the ordinancewas invalid and that the city wouldbe restrained from enforcing the ordinance against the baking companies and accordingly the petitionof the Omaha baking companies forthe injunction was sustained.

This matter of outside business in- -Jterests trucking products and goodsinto tne various towns over me Biaieis leading to the adoption of manyoccupation tax ordinances that seekto add a heavy fee for the operationof truck and for the selling andpeddling of goods in the corporativelimits of the towns.

This city has an ordinance thatsets the tax on the bread trucks at$150 per year but which has neverbeen ruled on as pet by the courts,altho an action has been pending forsome time on appeal from the lowercourts, the action beiag held up whilethe case of the baking companiesagainst the city of. Fremont has beenpending in the supreme court wherea decision would probably set a pre-

cedent for ordinances in cities of thesame class.
