Ten Drmpsey Offered to Stop the Kid in He Had Discovered Taught Rounds and Result a Complete - a Tartar-T- lie Surprise. "Gentlemen, Mr. Dempsey wishes to announce this is not to be a knock-ou- t. He will simply stop the Montana Kid in ten rounds," rang out the clarion voice of the master of ceremonies at the Novelty theater last night. It was near the hour of 12, and a vast crowd had assembled to see two modern gladiators do battle fer tho choicest of the world's trophies the gate receipts. Mr. Ed. Faber was chosen referee by acclamation, and about half an hour afterwards the fun and royal fun it was commenced. To the relief of the audience there were no tiresome preliminary bouts between kids as is usually the case. The main event.of the evening was announced, time called quickly and the men shook hands and went at it. It would be a waste of time and space to give the mateh by rounds, because each was simply a repetition of the other. Mr. DempBey was simply not in it at any stage of the game, and probably a more surprised lot of sports never wended their puzzled way homeward after a pugilistic contest. Before the battle bets of $10 to 17 were freely offered on Dempsey with no takerB, but after the third round there was not a dollar of Dempsey money in the house. Even that veteran sport, Frank Monroe, closed his eyes, drummed in a thoughtful way on the bar, and was mum as an oyster. The Kid was seconded by his trainer, Robert Dobbs, while Billy Harwood looked after Dempsey. In the first round, after a little sparring for an openlook on ing Dempsey, with an p 2410, Washington avenue, LOEB Manager. 1 o U.e ropes and chin Mt'K.Vfidd a clean upper cr.t under tho Li'Mt jt first seemed lining somewhat wary, b:tt .n regained his AN EASY VICTHE CALIFORNIA TIM FOR THE MONTANA KID. A his face, rushed the Ki Grolclen Eagle, confidence and smashed his opponent three ugly side blows in the neck, Dempsey retaliating by countering on the Kid's ribs. In the second the Kid began to force the fighting and from this point on had everything his own way. Dempsey made a plucky fight of it as long as his wind lasted, but his efforts were all in vain. If he attempted to counter, the Kid was on the other side toying with his ribs and if he essayed a side swing it found his nimble adversary's head just an inch too low. Tho fourth round brought Dempsoy to the center badly winded. Ho made an ugiy effort to land on the Kid's neck but that worthy cleverly parried and found his adversary over the heart with a blow that brought him to the lloor. In the fifth Dempsey began to bleed freely and his face and body showed signs of severe punishment. From this time on to the eighth round Dempsey's main idea soemed to be to escape the Kid's fierce onslaughts, and the result was an almost pitiful exhibition. The Kid chased him around the stage like a hound after a hare, punched him in the nose, ribs, neck, or wherever he pleased, banged him against the scenery, and in fact enjoyed himself hugely. In the eighth, Dempsey stepped into the ring with a look of determination. Awaiting his opportunity he caught the Kid very neatly in the ribs with a whack that could be heard all over the house. That worthy young man's face suddenly lost the angelic smile that had graced it all the evening and tho way he waded into Mr. Dempsey left that personage a sore looking spectacle at the end of the round. The Californiau by this time was too weak for further work and the too was one contest thereon sided to be of any interest. Dempsey at the finish to quote the Kid's remarks a few days ago, "Knew that he had been to a fight." His face was puffed up, his nose had lost its Grecian beauty while his body showed signs of severe punishment In short he was a whipped man. The referee gave the tight to the Kid amid the prolonged cheering of the audience. Dempsey's friends account for hia defeat by the fact that he had not trained sufficiently and that he has won several hard fought battles. Be that as it may, ho is no match for his opponent of last night and that was clear to every one present. The Kid maintained the reputation he his already made of being a clean, clever, little fighter. While he if young in years and comparatively inexperienced he can give points in ring tactics to many older than he and of supposed superiority. He was in perfect form last night and shows the effects of Dobbs excellent and faithful training. Dobbs and the Kid issue the following challenge: They wiil fight any man in Colorado or Utah of their weight, the former at 133 and the latter at 118 pounds, for any amount, and they agree to stop any local man of their class on a forfeit. THE VINCENTS. They Played to a Good House Again Last Night. "Our Boys', proved to be a drawing attraction at the Fourth Ward Amusement hall last night. The Felix & Eva Vincent Dramatic company put the play on the boards' in a very happy manner. Felix as "Perkyn Middlewiek" and Eva as '"Mary Melrose" were simply immense and never failed to bring the house down in the many amusing situations incident to the development of the com-edTheir support, too, was of no mean order. Henry Blanchard as "Sir Geoff rev Champnevs" did himself proud, while "Our Boys," C. W. Porter and J. D. Bernard, were simply invincible. All in all the play was well cast and character delineations above the average. Miss Minnie Bartley held the numl)er that called for the dress, and Mr. Vincent very promptly gave her a order for it. Tonight "Miss Multon" will be put on the boards and a good house ought to greet the Vincents. Marriage Licenses. The following marriage licenses were issued yesterday by County Clerk J. P.

The drivers are out but it will not materially interfere with the regular output of coal. At Pocatelio the freight has been handled with surprising promptness and Mr. Reeseguies latest dispatches indicate that the work is but a half day behind. It is expected that a full force will lie secured by Friday at the latest. The only motive that can be ascribed to thin strike is sympathy for the Ugden switchmen who started the ball rolling along the line. The Evans-toyards are fully manned. Regarding tho rumor that Pinkerton men have loen employed to take the place of the Iloclt Springs strikers, Superintendent Mertsheimor said the company was fully able at present to look after its own affairs without the assistance of detectives.
