TROUBLE ABOUT A Bio CUNT is probable
that the open-hearth cast-steel gun, which was
tested at the naval ordnance proving ground
some time ago, will be given another trial.
The bore has been regauged, bringing to light
some defects that were not discovered on the
first examination. The result of this examina-
ton has been laid before the Secretary of the
Navy, and, if acted on. might lead to a rejec-
ton of the gun. The Thurlow steel works COM
claim that the gun stood the test prescribed by
law, and that it should be accepted and paid
for. They have signifed their willingness to
have the gun subjected to another trial more
severe than that through which it has already
passed.

So read it every letter,
Saying that I'd seen no better

With no purpose to discover

But in smiling contemplation
OF the humorist's creation,
Rich and rare.
As looked know started
And the smile from lips departed,
For ! saw,
Printed there in uncut column,

For the tear is smiles unfailing

TO A FATAL END.

1t will be many a day before the
memory of Sundays deadly encounter
near Butte will be wiped out. That
days fatal fight to "a finish is the out
growth Of a practice to which many a
city in Montana adjusts itself all too
easily. 1t bellies the better sentiment
that rules with the public, it outrages
the reputation of the state and it's peo-
pie. 1t is high time that the officials of
Silver Bow county put "a stop to prize
fights, or "A X some steps toward pun
ishing the participants. Brutal exhi-
billions like that of Sunday last are not
uncommon in Butte. If they can
not be stopped, the principals can at
least Toe arrested and punished. Legit-
innate sparring exhibitions areo one
thing and these bruta mills are an
other. If the officials of Silver Bow
and Butte fail to see the difference. n

with which to purchase each Of these
officers n set of green goggles.
Boxing will always be recognized a.
one of the leading accomplishments i'm
athletic circles. and legitimate exhibit

nifty. Professional opponents of the
art of self-defense rarely injure a
other to any alarming extent and they
should be allowed to furnish this class
of entertainment while the unskillcd
are taught other trades in the p~eniten-
tiaries.
1t is safe to say that at least seventy
five per cent of the masculine pOpula-
ton of the United States is more or
less interested i'm the great pugilistic
contests. The other twenty-five per
cent will hang around bulletin boards
awaiting the result, and then go home
to moralize on the sins of the world
and of the prize ring in particular.
Contests between such men as sullivan,
kilrain. Jackson. Dempsey. Mitchell
and others are far less dangerous to
life and limb han the average college
game of foot ball or the innocent an
nual cane rush. The legitimate prize
ring, by virtue of its large following, is
entitled to consideration, but such
murderous contests of brute strength
and physical endurance as that ut Butte.
