Cardiff Wins on a Foul.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan, 22,-The 15-round
contest with small gloves, Queensbury
rules, between Patsy Cardiff Of Minneap-
oils, and Jim Fell, the champion heavy
weight Of Michigan, came off last even
Ing. In the first four rounds Fell was on
the aggressive and got IN some heavy
blows. Cardiff claimed first blood in the
second round. In the next three rounds
henors were about even, but in the eighth
Cardiff began to rush and did some effec-
tive, work in that and the succeeding
rounds. In the eleventh Fell seemed to
weaken and most of his blows were not
effective, while Cardiff did some telling
work. From this time it was apparent
that Cardiff had the best Of it. The if
teenth round was a rough and tumble
one, in which Fell tried hard to hold lis
own, even when forged agalnHt the ropes.
Finally the men began to fight savagely,
clinching and wrestling, IN defiance Of
the referees order. Cardiff's friends
claimed foul and the referee gave him
the fight on that ground. Neither men
were badly punished, although Cardiff's
condition was the best

New YORK, Jan. 23.-What appears te
be one of the biggest consignments Of
contract labor ever landed here in one
ship was discovered by accident at the
landing of the passengers from La Cham
pagne at Castle Garden Sunday. 1t was
noticed that more than every other man
OF the 213 steerage passengers was bound
for Florida, and it was found that all had
come from Alsace, Germany, and that
their passage money had been paid by a
man named Geo. Strum of that province.
Later in the day a member of the firm of
Stratton q Storm of this city appeared at
Castle Garden. He said he was an Alsa-
clan and had arranged to have his q, un-
trymen come here, but denied having
paid their fare. He had large tract Of
land In Florida and proposed furnishing
each family with a house and 40 acres Of
land and start them at raising sumatra
tobacco. He would buy the product.
The emigrants were detained awaiting
the action of Collector Magone.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23-Gertie Miller, pref
ty and vivacious girl, created quite sen.
sation at her home at 208 Dearborn street
late last night. The girl has been head
strong and has been frequenting houses
OF doubtful reputation. Last night she
started to leave home, presumably to &C
to one OF, the houses which she has been
accustomed to visit. Her mother stopped
her, when the girl drew revolver and
fired at her mother. The bullet missed
its mark, but the noise attracted the at
tention of an officer. At the sight of the
policeman the girl rushed to window
and attempted to leap from it to the
street, 20 feet below. She was taken to
the armory, where she was locked up.
She is but 16 years old.

BRIBERY CHARGED,
MUCH COMMOTION IN THE MIN
NESOTA LEGISLATURE,
Washburn and Sabin Said to Have
Used Boodle-The Senate Finally
Casts its Vote for WASH
.... burn,

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 22-The Mime
sofa house OF representatives adjourned
until tomorrow without balloting for
udlted States senator, pending inves-
tlgation of charges of bribery in the con-
nectlon with the senatorial fight. The
senate considered the bribery matter in
secret session for two hours today and
partial report was made which contained
charges. which SenatorBuckman, in an elo-
quent speech said were, made by men
whose characters would not bear very
close investigation.
Senator Ward, another strong Sabin
man and member of the investigating
committee, announced that both Wash
burn and Sabin had been implicated in
the charges made and he would vote for
neither. The substance Of the partial re
ports offered by the committee was that
one man was offered a good government
position if he would vote for Sabin. An
other claims to have been offered $1,000
to vote for Washburn, while d third says
a Washburn man gave him wine until he
was so drunk he did not know whether
he received any money or not.
AT a quarter before midnight the hear
ing was concluded. The doors were
opened and the senate proceeded to vote
for United States senator.
Mr.. Daniels nominated Gen. W. D,
Washburn. No nomination was made by
the democrats and they refrained from
voting. Several senators made brief re-
marks about the alleged bribery. The
ballot resulted as follows: e. NJ. Wilson
2, knute Nelson 1, Washburn "a. The
vote. was completed at 1916 and the SEN
ate adjourned,

GODAS In JAIL.
HE REPEATS IN HELENA HIS
DENIAL OF THE ESCAPE STORY.
The ChOteau and Cascade Suit Coming
to an End-United States Mar
shal Kelly Starts News
paper.

HELENA, Jan. 23.-George Godas, the
half breed murderer, is once mere in the
county Jail. Sheriff Jeffries arrived with
him about 8 o'clock Yesterday evening.
In general appearance, Godas is greatly
improved since he left here, being much
f1eshier and showing he has had good
treatment. He said the statement that he
jumred from train to escape, is abso-
lutely false. The prisoner was quite
cheerful and talkative all the way until
he came within sight of Helena. When
he stepped from the train, he seemed to
regain his spirits, but paid no attention to
the crown which gathssed around him.
A.lack was in readiness and the sheriff
and his ward stepped in and were rapidly
driven to the county jail, where another
anxious crowd had congregated to get a
glimpse Of thr prisoner.
Godas alighted rather sprightly and ex-
changed courtesies with the officials as
they recognized him. "Hello, George"
said Jailor Witten. sHello, Will. I'm
back home again." responded Godas, The
distinguished guest was we'll received at
the Jail and knowing that he was due
yesterday, the most elaborate cell in the
place was reserved for HIM. It is called
the bridal chamber, being the cell set
apart for female prisoners. 1t is in this
cage that Godas will remain under death
watch, two special guards having been
employed to watch him.
Godas has acquired much better use of
the English language than he had when
here before. In relation to his capture,
his story does not materially differ from
that related In these columns before. He
says he stood of one man who attempted
to arrest him single-handed, but the
mounted police proved to much for him.
he denies the stories sent here to the ef-
feet that he said lie would not be taken
to Helena alive. He stoutly claims that
be is innocent Of the crime for which he
was condemned to hang.

GoDAs IN TOWN.
THE ALLEGED MURDERER ARRIVES
WITH SHERIFF JEFFRIEs.
The Story of His Attempted Flight Turns
Out to be FabricatiOn-He
Asserts That He is
Innocent.

Godas, the notorious Godas who wa
tried for murder on the Dearb born, ,fount
guilty and sentenced to be hanged, wa
in Great Falls today. He was on hi!
way back from Regina, Canada, in com
pany with Sheriff Jetfries of Helena, wht
had gone to that remote region to fetcf
him back to the Lewis and Clarke count,
Jail.
1t will be remembered that Godas man.
aged to escape from Jail one Sunday
morning last year and that after series
OF hair-breadth escapes he found his way
to Canada. There he went among the
Indians and half-breeds and for time
defied detection, but at length the noun
ted police discovered who he was and
arrested him. They were melted to do
so by The liberal reward which Governor
Leslie offered for the fugitives recapture.
Then followed tedious extradition pro-
ceedings, which ended finally in the sur
render of Godas to Sheriff Jeffries.
Godas sat today in the colonist sleeping
car with MIR. Jeffries, who has not lost
sight Of him since they left Regina, ex-
cept when Godas was placed in jail twice
to await trains. The prisoner was heavily
shackled. His hands were held by hand
cuffs and on his foot was an Oregon iron
boot, which would have prevented him
from walking, were he even placed on
the solid earth.
He seemed cheerful and says that he
will prove his innocence. He says he
can tell who committed the murder and
is now better able to give explanations to
his lawyers than before, as he knows
more English. He smiled when TRIB-
uNE reporter asked him regarding his
alleged attempt at escape or suicide, say
ing that the newspapers must talk. Mr..
} Jefries also denied the Helena Records
story and said that Godas had been very
quiet since he took him into custody.
In appearance Godas has all the out
lines of the half-breed. His hair is
black; his forehead low and sloping; his
eyes are hazel and have wild, restless
expression. In stature he is below the
medium height. Many persons crowded
about Godas, but he seemed needless of
the unfortunate notoriety which he has
acquired.
