The most brutal and bloodthirsty prize
fight ever witnessed in the Northwest fur
nished Sunday amusement for n large
audience on the Indian reservation below
Bismarck last Sunday. says a Helena Ia
depeadeat dispatch. The principals were
a big Hollander named Hallock and a
little private soldier known as Ambrosia,
who enlisted in the army nine months ago
and who has been discovered to be none
other than George Siddons. well known
as a feather-weight p~ugilist, who has
fought and O battles with such nota-
