Dempsey and "Swipes." the newsboy, and
was fought at Nick Thompson's hotel in
the presence of number of sporting men.
Dempsey appeared to be in poor condition
at the start and during the first round fell
heavily forward, as was then supposed, in
a fit. A physician was summoned, but the
man died within ten minutes. The specta-
tors hastily fed and Dempsey's antagonist
is supposed to have left the State to avoid
arrest. The proprietor OF the hotel says
he does not know the names OF any per.
sons present at the fight. Dempsey's iden-
tity cannot be ascertained. though rumor
has it that he was pressman on New
York evening paper. He was about 22
wears old and leaves a wife and infant
child The body will remain at the hotel
until an inquest ca be held.
s'Swipes' has surrendered himself to the
police OF Brooklyn and been locked up. 1t
is probable all the others concerned in the
fight will be arrested.
swIPEs' STORY.
"Swipes," the newsboy, who is a typical
newsboy in appearance, says he is 19years
old and lives a the Newsboys' Home. Ac-
cording to his story New York sporting
man named Eddie Mcdonald asked him to
90 down to Fort Hamilton last night and
see prize fight. When he got there he was
tuld he was to be one Of the principals and
was introduced to Dempsey as his oppo-
nent. The fight was to be for $50 and a
gold watch and occurred in the basement
OF Red" Leary's old resort, the Live Oak
Hotel. ''Swipes' says no blows were struck
and that Dempsey tainted almost imme-
diately after entering the ring. Dempsey's
body was tonight removed by permission
Of the Coroner in care Of relatives to an
esta blishment in Brooklyn.
"Swipes'" story is borne out by the fact
that the body bears no marks. An autop-
sy will be held tomorrow.

DEER LODGE, January 23.-[Special to
the Miner. ]-Since the departure OF the
cole weather and the warm winds have be-
gun to blow every body seems to be making
the most OF it and sleighing parties are the
order OF the day. Last Thursday evening
the singers of the Good Templars' lodge
took spin out to P. E. Evans ranch
where everything was arranged for good
time Ice cream and cake were served dur
ing the evening and the smiles OF those
present showed that all enjoyed it very
much. Saturday evening the students at
the college were given q fine
sleigh ride. and judging from
the music they must had fine time. P.
c. Paterson, who has been to Portland.
Oregon, on business, got back Saturday,
but instead of registering Paterson. Esq.
it is Paterson and wife. May happiness
and success attend them is the wish Of all.
Mr.. Harmerson, who was cutting ice for
VanGundy e. Miller, yesterday fell in the
river and would have drowned had it not
been for his companions, who, after several
trials, finally succeeded in landing him on a
cake OF ice apparently none the worse for
the ducking but more sober.

Endless Litigation.

Messrs Mcbride & Haldorn on behalf OF
Clara A. Gessler ct al. have entered mo-
ton to dissolve the attachment on the
stock OF the latter, made by Eugene Cor
don ct ux The grounds OF the motion
are that the said Eugene Gordon and his
wife are infants; and on account OF penden-
cy Of criminal action; and that the said
writ OF attachment was issued in case
tort, and not Of contract; that it is contra
dctory and unintelligible, alleging indebt-
.edness in an implied and in IN express con-
tract and that the plaintiff, Eugene Cor
don, is improperly joined in the action
with Grace May Gordon. and that the al
fidavit was made by him instead OF her
whose property is said to be destroyed.
A demurrer to the complaint has also been
filed. The romantic marriage OF
the young couple above mentioned
has given rise to an extraordinary series
OF lawsuits, and it is supposed that the
ball has only just started rolling. The
legal proceedings so far have been. first,
the issuance OF warrant and arrest OF Cor
don; second the suit for malicious mischief
against the Gesslers third, the attachment
of the art store fourth, the suit against
the Gesslers for S1O,OcO damages for ma
icious pr rosecution; and fifth, the motion
to dissolve the attachment. Ii this mo-
ton should succeed, on the grounds OF the
infancy of the plaintiffs, the result will be
a complication OF the whole series OF suits,
and he development OF several more.

OF sos, 65S for the plaintiff. The plaintiff
alleged he gave $50 bonds of the Postal
Telegraph TO Alley on an agreement that

promote the success OF the enterprise.
and therefore he sought to recover the
bonds which are valued at $l5O,OOO.
Alley denied making such an agreement and
claims the bonds were given him withou,
any such restrictions. He alleged that it
was necessary for the company to build
line between New York and Chicago, and
this could not be done without his ASST t.
ance, and he refused to construct unless he
received 200 bonds. The case has already
been tried three times. At the tn rd trial
the jury returned e verdict OF $102, 600
for the plaintiff. Alley carried the case to
the Supreme Court and secured setting
