Killed In Friendly Bolt

Chillicothe, O., April 19.- The famous solar plexus blow, with which Fitzsimmons knocked out Corbett, was duplicated here, and as a result Roy Flack, 13 years old, was instantly killed by his 12-year-old cousin, Orville Groves. The boys belong to prominent families and were both expert boxers. A friendly bout with gloves was arranged between them, and a number of friends and relatives were present to witness it. They sparred for some time without perceptible effect, when suddenly Groves landed squarely under Flack's heart and the latter dropped like a log. The bystandeis, supposing that he was merely winded, started to lift him to his corner, but were startled to perceive that he was not breathing. A physician was hastily summoned, and he pronounced life extinct. The action of the heart had been stopped by the blow and death had been instantaneous.
