The third fall went to Millet in 8 minutes. Cline and Cahill, two boys of about 14 years, wrestled a good match, which, ai- though short, was snappy. Cahill did not show his ueual form and Cline won two falls in one and three minutes, respectively. The principal boxing bout was between Brosnihan and Mason, both of South Omaha. Brosnihan proved the master of the bout and punished his opponent’s nose considerably. The bout was scheduled for six rounds. Mason fell through the ropes in the fifth round and was put out of business by the fall. He recelved a pretty hard blow as he struck the ropes. For a minute or two it looked llke he was more hurt than it turned out. He came to himself shortly and was able to walk from the ring unassisted. Knite Used on Woman. A cutting scrape occurred last night be- tween Elizabeth Diamond and Mrs. Alonzo Lee, two women living near Twenty- seventh and M streets. The trouble arose from jealousy between Mrs. Lee and Mrs. was started in the house of the Lees, in which chairs, clubs and knives were freely resorted to. The only one to be cut, how- ever, was Mrs. Lee. She had one bad cut over the eye and her hands were seri- ously cut and stabbed. Dr. A. H. Koenig dressed her wounds and sald the woman would probably lose her eye. The other chief belligerents were arrested and charged with suspicion on the jail blot- ter. They were Mrs. Diamond and Alonzo Lee. Pool Hall Gutted, Fire practically ruined the pool hall of streets at 8 a. m. May 2.

They are in the nature of waivers, but will hold in court, while walvers might not. The signing of the contracts has not only relleved the excise board, but it has re- lleved the membefs of the forces as well | The new charter raised the pay of police- | men ana firemen, but made no change in | appropriations for the departments. The funds for the departments were set aside before the charter was passed. It was | therefore imposible to pay the men the increased salary accorded them by the change In the charter, as it would run the department short about $0,000 The only way out of the difficulty was for the men to agree to work on the old scale. If they would not agree to this then all of them to be given forced vacations of two months each or many on each force would have to be discharged. {Country Boy Learns Lesson Finds it Dangerous to Be Friendly with Dusky Damsel on the Street. Charles Brossman, a stockman from Colorado, has decided that Omaha is “no place for a country boy.” He got into conversation with a colored woman at Nineteenth and Davenport streets Jast night d the first thing he knew she had re- lieved him of his purse containing $112. She had succeeded In getting some little distance away before he discovered his loss, but when he did he immediately gave | chase, calling upon the police for help. After a run of a few blocks he caught her and a fight ensued. Another man came upon the scene and ordered the woman to hand over the money. Evidently thinking him an officer, she dug down in the recesses of her ap- parel and brought forth the purse in ques- tion. After she had vanished around a corner again Brossman discovered that she had used a knife upon him with more or less effect, and had chewed one of his fingers almost off.

Vicious dogs are sup- | posed to be able to ward off thieves and to retain their tags.
