Oregon theatre. Referee Charley Jost
held up the hands of ' both Jockey
Bennett and Billy Gaffney, signifying
that the fight was a draw and the
witnessed the fray went away pretty-i
couple of hundred or more fans who
well satisfied.
The Frisco featherweight undoubt
edly had the best of. the affair up' un
til the fourteenth round and in ' the
thirteenth all but put his man away,
sending him to the floor for the
count of nine. The local boy, bow.
ever, came back strong In the con
cluding rounds and tared himself
from a defeat.
The fight was a slam-ban? affair
from start to finish. .Indeed, It start J
ed ta whirwl!nd fashion, the : first
round being one of the beat of the
twenty. Neither fighter wanted any
time in feeling out bis opponent but
commenced a fierce bombardment.
Just before the end of the round.
Bennett dellered a telling blow forc
ing Gaffney to over and rushing him
to bis corner while the crowd yelled
like a bunch of Commanches.

Removing and Burying ths Dead Was
Part of Their Duties.
In their "History of Nursing" the au
thors. Miss Nutting and Miss Dock,
quote from an article written in 17G4
which gives an insight Into what was
required of the trained nurse in tbs
eighteenth century. Tbo article says:
This occupation is as important for
humanity as Its funrtlons tire low and
repusuunt AH persons are not adapt
ed to It and the heads of hospitals
oug'it to be difficult to plea He, for the
lire of pntieuts may depend upon their
choice of applicants The nurse should
be pnlieut. mild, compassionate. She
should console the sick, foresee their
needs and reMeve their tedium.
The domestic duties of the nurse are
to light the Sre In the wards and keep
them going, to carry and distribute
nourishment, to accompany the sur
geons and doctors on their rounds and
afterward to remove all dressings, etc.;
to sVeep the halls and wards and keep
the persons of the patients and their
surroundings clean, to emptj all vessels
and change the patients' linen, to pre
vent noise and quarreling and disturb
ances, to notify the steward of every-
. thing tbey see which la wrong, to carry '
out the dead and bury tbem, to light j
the lamps in the evening and visit the
sick during the night and to wtebj
th,em continually, giving them every
aid which their state requires and
treating tbem with kindness and coo
sideration."
