they will be wiped from the north
western ranges before the March
winds begin to blow. The cry that
there is no feed Is true only as To the
river bottoms, immediately, aud the
mouths of cree. k, where water was to
be found during our long, dry, sum
mer and spring, and where the cattle
collected and were compelled TO re-
main or water. In these bottoms. of
course, the grass is gone, having been
ranged upon by the countless thou
sands OF cattle. Now the cool weather
and our late rains have enabled the
cattle to find water on the divides aud
heads of creeks. Here the grass has
not been ranged over this year, has
grown long and been early cured and
contains more tissue-making substance
than the gIass has had in our beet
years. This feed will send the cattle
into the snows with good flesh, and in
as good condition for the winter as in
any previous season. The losses, with
all causes combined. will not be more
than 8 per cent, instead of from 40 to
30 per cent as predicted by many.
This sanguine view is borne out by
the logic of facts if you will halt to
consider.

Sullivan Lays Ryan Out.

At San Francisco last Saturday
night the great contest between Sulli.
van and Ryan took place, but
As it did not commence
until after IL o'clock, the Asso
ciated Press failed to report any par
ticulars. The details OF the hight ar,
as follows:
Exactly at fourteen minutes pas
eleven the two stars, Sullivan auC
Ryan made their ap Jearance. Ryai
Was the firsl To trip lightly up lie
stairs of the platform. As lac slipped
oil his coat he was loudly cheered
Sullivan quickly followed and wa
greeted with deafening applause. Cap
chosen referee, Daniel Murphy, tim,
keeper for Sullivan. Charles Smith
time keeper for Ryan. Five minutes
went by before the men took theiI
corners and another five minutes be-
fore time was called. After shaking
hands the two men spared for five
seconds for an opening, when Ryan
suddenly let out with his right,
catching Sullivan on the right cheek.
Yells of "Good for Paddy were
heard all over the house. From this
moment both fought savagely, Ryan
leading throughout. Ryan followed
up with another right-hander on the
cheek, and attempted TO follow IL up
with stomach blow. but fell short.
For the first minute the fighting was
so severe that Ryan began to show
signs of failing wind, and sullivan
took advantage of this and made a
rush for Ryan, when they clinched, bnt
were quickly separated.
Second round-Ryau again forced
the fighting, but with less apparent
effort, though he reached Sullivan's 3
face and body several times. He had
lost some of his powers through be-
coming winded. Sullivan on noticing
this started to force the fight, and
leading reached Ryan, who countered
Intellectually. Sullivan then again
reached for him and landed q body
blow which dcwned Ryan amid loud
cheers. This was repeated twice.
Ryan essayed the tactics Of clinching
to avoid punishment, and ut the end
of the round it was apparent that
Ryan's chance for victory Was gone.
The third round was regular slug
ging match, Sullivan being in better
wind, forced the fighting from the
start, but both men showed signs of
the heavy pushing. After the third
pas Sullivan sent in terrific right
handler on Ryan's jaw, which sent
him spinning to the ropes, a clean
knock down. The blow ratified Ryan
40 that IL was with difficulty. he stag
gered to his feet. He shook himself
together and in daZed way led off
with his left for Sullivan's face. The
latter stopped il prettily, and then re-
peated his right handler on Ryan's
jaw. The blow was so violent and
well directed that Ryan went down as
II shot out of q cannon. 1t was O
knockout of the cleanest kind. He lay
on the the floor utterly unable to
move. The police rushed In, but 1t was
too late. There was nothing for them
to do. The fight was ended. Sullivan
waved the timekeepers back to see II
Ryan had anything more to say.
When "time" was called, Ryan was
still on the floor. Sullivan then stoop-
ed down, raised him up and carried
him to his corner The crowd quickly
dispersed amid shouts for Sullivan.
