AGAINST THE
An Important Suit Against the Northern
Pacific Decided in Favor of the Plaintiff.

An Important Suit Against the Northern
Pacific Decided in Favor of the Plaintiff.
jamestown (Dak.) special: In the case OF
A. H. Glaspell VS.. the Northern Pacific
Railroad company the jury rendered q YER
dict in favor of the plaintiff for S12, .43.
The case is OF interest to all purchasers Of
railroad lands. A. H. Glaspell, OF Chicago,
in 1883 purchased some 1900 acres OF
Northern Pacific lands in Wells county.
The sale was effected, it was claimed,
through the company's local agents here,
and upon their representations OF the
in winter time. and nc personal examina-
ton was made by the plaintiff. The lands
proved to be valueless except for grazing.
The plaintiff sued for what the lands
would now Oe worth if they had been as
represented, or S14, 900. The railroad
the local agents have no authority to sell
or give title to the eompany's lands; that
all such acts are lone in the st. Paul office
by regularly appointed officials; that
agents powers are limited to the exhibit
ton o. the lands and furnishing such in
formation as the company may not have
at headquarters, and that such non-liabil-
jty is stipulated in all contracts OF sale.
The road will appeal to the Supreme Court.
This is said to be the first case of the
kind that has occurre1 with the Northern
Pacific in all it's thousands of land sales
made from Superior to Portland, and at
~torneys say it will establish an important
precedent. The trial occupied nearly a
week, and was stubbornly contested
throughout. Over 200 exceptions on
which to base an appeal were flied with the
defendant.

SPORTING AFFAIRS.

A Wrestling Match Arranged Between
and Mackenzie to Fight for $500 a
Side.
Since Evan Lewis arrived in Butte some
weeks since the local sports have been
anxious to witness an exhibition OF his
famous prowess az one of the best wrestlers
of the day. Wrestling is a sport that has
many admirers in this city, and exhibitions
of this nature always collect an eager
throng OF attendants who are good critics.
A good tournament in Butte will awaken
more interest and enthusiasm, especially
amcng the Cornish part OF the population,
than any other class of sport. When it is
known that the famous wrestler, Lewis, has
signed articles to, meet Greek George for a
match for $3.50 a side, to come off on De-
cember %, the interest of a large
portion OF this city's population will
naturally be excited. The articles arrange
for five styles of wrestling. the victor of the
best three in five to win the match, collar
and elbow, Greco-Roman, cstch-as-catch.
can, side hold and Cornish. This makes
the match one of unusual interest AS the
OF every form of wrestling are
suited in turn. Lewis is the champion
catch as-catch-can wrestler OF the world, bar
nobody. His history and achievements need
not be recounted as all who are acquainted
with sporting matters of the pastfew years
know the standing he has won in his many
encounters. George Theodor, known as
Greek George, is not SO well known, but it
is generally admitted he is the only man
capable of meeting Lewis h~ereabouts. The
place where the match will occur has not
been definitely settled, but either Caplice or
Turner Hall will be chosen. Lewis is at
present over at Gable under training.
THE BARRY-MACKENZIE FIGHT.
On Friday night a match was arranged
between Tom Barry OF this city and Mac
kenzie of Anaconda, for $500 a side,
money up. 1t will come off between the 9th
and 18th OF the present month. Great in
terest is felt in this match and "a good deal
of money is certain to change hands. Tenn
Barry is down at Gregsen's Springs under
training while Mackenzie is at Anaconda.
Miles McNally from Wardner, arrived in

of the Butte Rod and Gun Club enjoyed
the pleasure OF some live pigeon shooting

country was entirely free of the smoke
nuisance that obscured everythingin town.
The members of the club have now been
for about three years practicing with regu-
larity Whenever the wealth sr was favorable
and the result is that the Butte club can
hold it's own with any in the West. In fact
it has a standing challenge to match any
other club that thinks it can meet the
Butte club for $500 a side. It's challenges
to Helena and Utah clubs have found no
takers as the reputation OF the Butte club
is extensively disseminated.
The following is the result OF the several

The City's Bonds Fail to Attract One Bid
at the Auction Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon at 2 p. m. was the
time to which the sale of the city bonds
had been adjourned from October 20. They
nave been advertised since September 20.
and nobody being present to bid on them
| on the above date the sale was adj turned
| until yesterday. At the appointed hour
| Mr.. Pinkham was present to auction the
| bonds, but only one bidder appeared, and
he was only prepared to take $4,000 OF
| the bonds. In consequence there was no
sale again. The gentlemen who had been
mentioned recently as eager for the posses

and the expectations OF municipal improve

ties seem to be as far from contamination
as ever. No effort has been spared to Nd

sale by the distribution Of circu-
lars among banking houses giving
