than fighter. He is an Englishman by
BIRTH and has been in this country about
nine years. most of which has beer spent in
San Francisco, having come to Montana

GIBBs-PAsCoE.
Several days ago w. f. Gibbs issued II
challenge to wrestle James Pascoe in seve-
raj styles for the sum OF 500 a side. 70
this PascOe has not responded, but he now
authorizes the statement that the sum
named is too small to justify his going to
the expense OF training and the other Incl
dents of a public exhibition. He is, how
ever, willing to accommodate Mr.. Gibbs to
this extent. He will meet him any day this
week in a private room, a small number OF
friends OF each to be present, and wrestle
catch-as-catch-can two falls, and Cornish
style, one fall, for the sum named. If this
proposition is satisfactory the prelminares
can be arranged and the money found by
calling on Messrs. Reynolds & Job.

Poor Policy

The conduct of Mayor Murdoch during
the visit of the soldiers home commission
to Rock Island has been the subject of
severe criticism and censure, although the
pride of our citizens, which was wounded
by his action, suppressed any public ex-
preston of the popular sentiment while
the commissioners were guests of the
city. As q matter of courtesy, represents
ing as he is supposed to. the city and its
interests, it was his place to have taken
official steps to formally tender the hos
pitality of the city to the distinguished
visitors, especially when their mission
was one wherein the interests of the city
were at stake AS it was, the business
men and other citizens did all in their
power to make the commissioners at
home, and in these endeavOrs
they succeeded. Official courtesy
was neglected, however, and our citi-
zens have reason to be ashamed
of Mr.. Murdock's negligence. Of tn e
fourteen aldermen, only two Messrs
Henry and Sinnett were thoughtful
enough to accompany the commissioners
on their visit to the site, or signify the
interest of the municipal body in what
was going on.
