In yesterday mornings MINER ap-
reared a challenge from Miles Nc
Nal!y t., fight Jack Waite for $3.50.
Mentally did not have to wait long
for its acceptance, and Yesterday
afternoon he and Waite got together
in the Pioneer saloon and consum-
mated arrangements for a battle a la
Marquis of Queensbury, to a finish,
with Montana hard gloves, for $3.50 \
side, the mill to take place at the
Amphitheatre, Sunday evening, De-
cember 18th. A referee is to be chosen
from the audience. With regard to
McNally. but little is kr own of bin
among The sporting fraternity, but
his hackers are sanguine and say he
is a good one, and are willing to back
their assertions with the coin of the
realm. Jack Waite is well known
throughout Montana and Utah As be-
Ing a clever sparrer, hard hitter and
good fighter, and when the two men
meet in the ring some lively thump-
ing may be looked for. Both men
will go into training Immediately
and get themselves in trim. Frank
Mccormick will handle McNally,
viii q Frank and Dunk Med onald
will do that honor for Waite.

school teacher catechised the good

Christ say about little children?" He
said "Suffer little children to come

This company, which appears in

four months, playing to large houses
in California, Nevada, Oregon, and
Washington Territory. The combl-
nation has seven plays in its roper
toire, all of which are new. and are
produced with an exceedingly strong
cast and fine scenic effect. The
Pacific coast press has accorded 1t
extended praise, and there is no
doubt that It's reception in this city
will be as hearty and it's patronage AS
generous as 1t has received elsewhere.
Among the spectacular plays which
the combination will present here
are "Monte Cristo' and Michael
Strogoff." Each have had large
runs in the East, and being new
here, will doubtless draw immense

One thousand four hundred and

It is apparent that with the greatly
