o'clock this afternoon had on board Jack
Dempsey, the middleweight champion of
the world, Paddy German, the middle

Campbell, the famous club swinger and
athlete of Portland, Ore. At the depot
ready to give the trio q warm welcome
were most OF the local men interested in
sporting events, including Evan Morgan,
Jack Hyland, Jerry Mullin, John Mcguire,
Louis Villemaire, and representatives Of
the Miner, later Mountain and STANDARD.
lntroductions were quickly made and
soon the two parties i'm several open car
riaRes were driven TO the city. After n
brief drive about town the Dempsey party
was dropped ut the McDermott hotel aud
proceeded to wash of the lust of travel.
Later there was an Informal reception
in the parlors of the Southern sample
room when Is or % Of Butte's citizens were
introduced to the trio. Campbell and
Gorman had never been in Butte before
and confessed that they had never seen
anything like Butte N did not know
what to make of IL.
Jack Dempsey was I'm Butte in Decem-
Der, 1856, and was asked by a STANDARD
reporter to-day how the town compared
with its appearance oil his first visit.
II wouldn't know il for the same place."
said Dempsey. "lt has changed wonder
fully and seems three times as large as
when | saw il before"
Dempsey said that he did not expect To
get Oh another match with the Marine
soon, since the latter is To meet Mitchell
on June -. The combination will go 10
Helena from Butte, then back To Salt
Lake and eastward.
Jack Dempsey tells quite a yarn about
a job that was put up OF Paddy German
in Pocatello. Being from Australia,
Paddy had a very indistinct idea of what
an Indian was like, and IA himself
away on leaving San Francisco by his
frequent inquiries, betraying a Htinge of
anxiety. He was filed brim full of the
most bloodthirsty Indian yarns, and IL
anything appeared in the papers in re-
gard TO Indian outrages, each member
of the party showed the item tn Paddy
and elaborated il.
