The bout h ?d been widely advertised and both piincipals were here to appear in (ho ling, but the order of tho CJovOJ'iior to Sheriff Martin did not i??*imit of any misconstruction and following a conferonco betwoeu tho sheriff and chief of police, the promoters were notified that the bout could not take place and tho city assessor refused to issue a license. Jimmy Dasher, of Savannah, and Joe Howard, of Brooklyn, were to be the principals in a scientific glove contest and wore to go ton rounds While the promoters had promised <:o call the bout off. Chief of Police Boyle, as a precaution, detailed Detective James Ilogan to pay at comion 10 m? cmi> noauquariors, anil h? found tho hall dark and tho front door locked. Tho order of tho Governor was being strictly enforced. Several days ago Sheriff Martin . . received from Governor Ansel a communication sotting forth the.Jaw In regard to prize fights and exactly what was meant hy tho different sections and calling on the sheriff to enforce the law In Charleston. Sheriff Martin then conferred with Chief Moyle and tho police chief of course decided to stop tho bout scheduled for that night. If for any reason the police had not interferred tho sheriff was prepared to step lu and take a hand. When asked last night hy a reporter for The News and Courier if ho had stopped tho fl?ht, Chief Boyle Raid: "Heretofore, 1 have pormltted these contests to be pulled off as sparring exhibitions, under police supervision, not dooming them violations of law. But Governor Ansel has placed a different con~ Mruction of tho character of the con. fH. 'ts, and immediately on being inforx K>d of his letter to Sheriff Martin if .notified the promoters that the light fcjdiist not ho pulled off. The order the Governor has certainly pUt a damper on glove contests here for ..the present -at any rate. WAS NOT THK MA>* <*Are Not Lynched," Writes Willi . dames From Cairo.
