THE MEHAN-ALLAN FIGHT.
Mehan Knocked Out in the Ninth
Round.

Arion hall was we'll filed last evening
to witness a twenty-round glove contest
between Harry Allan (whose right name
is Harry Harrrison) of Leadville, and
Jimmy Mehan. Billy Hennessy and j.
II. Kennedy were behind Allen and
Gallagher and Smith behind Mehan.
Tom Fraker was chosen referee. Eddie
Cain and Tom Lester were timekeepers.
About.10:3D the men stepped into the
ring and both appeared in good condi-
ton and fully justified the prediction
that the battle would be holly contested.
First round The men advanced into
the center of the ring and eyed each
other closly. Allan led and landed and
some lively exchanges followed. Allan
claimed and was allowed first blood. The
round closed with honors about even and
a good prospect of a stubborn fight.
Second round-Som good clever
scientific work was done which wound
up by Allan securing first Touchdown.
Third round Allan appeared on the
aggressive and began to force the fight
ing. Mchan's leads seemed to fall short
but occasionally landed some heavy
blows and the round ended with no
perccptible advantage to either.
Fourth round Allan still on the az
grcssive. Both men got in some hot
blow. Mehan was knocked to his knees
and went down to save punishment.
Mehan's left ear began to bleed from
some sharp blows it received. The round
ended in Allan's favor.
Fifth round Mehan seemed to have
caught his second wind and put Allen on
the defensive. There was some heavy ex-
changes and the round ended by Mehan
securing a knock-down for which he was
loudly cheered.
The sixth and seventh rounds were
even. with no decided advantage to
either.
Eighth Allen seemed to recover him
self and played heavily on Mchan's dam

flowing pretty freely. and various marks
about his face told plainly the force Of
the punishment he was receiving. Me
han was game. though, and stood up
manfully before his adversary. Allen
had the best Of the round.
Nin,h Mchan's blows lacked force.
while ON the other hand Allen struck
from the shoulder. 4 heavy blow ON the
neck sent Mehan to the ropes, from
which he did not rise in the allotted ten
seconds, and Allen was declared the vic
tor.
The spectators were unanimous in their
praise of the fight. the spirit of fairness

fact, with everything connected with tho

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The supreme
court Of the United States today in an
opinion by Justice Harlan affirmed the
judgment of the supreme court of Wis
consin in the case of Patrick Manning
against George Weeks, warden of the
state prison. Manning was convicted in
the court for the district of Ashland,
Wis, of manslaughter. He commended
that his conviction was without due pro-
cess OF law. basing it on the ground that
under the state law the governor had no
authority to appoint the judge who tried
him. and that he was tried and convicted
by an unlawful court. The United States
supreme court says the highest state
tribunal held that the Ashland court al
ways existed and was a court de lure re-
CARELESS OF whether or not the governor
had the right of appointment of a Judge.
The court is bound 10y that judgment.
and there being a court de jure and Judge
de tacto II holds that there is no ground
on which to order Manning's discharge.
WAsHINGroN, April g. The court re-
versed the judgment of the supreme
court OF Montana in the case of Andrew
j. DAVIS. appellant, VS.. Henry Wiebbold,
and ordered the case be remanded for a
new trial. This was a suit for d; Images
and involved the title to certain lands in
the town of Butte, Montana. The case
turns up in the construction to be given
to the provisions of the townsite law of
the United States. Davis held the title
under the townsite entry act of which
one provision was that no title should be
acquired nder AN act to any gold, silver
or copper mine, or to any valid mining
claim held under the existing laws.
Wiebbold claimed title under the gen
eral mining laws, and when Davis offered
to prove that at ,Ie time the patent
OF the Butte stOwnsite was issued the
premises in the dispute were not known
to 6e valuable for minerals of any kind.
and no objection was taken on that
ground; that Wiebbold's patent showed
that as a matter of fact the premises did
contain valuable mineral lands and as
such could not be granted by a townsite
patent. The court sustained the obiec-
ton and this ruling, which was really de-
clsiVe OF the controversy, this court over
Tules. The question involved in this suit
has been long in dispute and there have
been various and in the same instances
diverse opinions on it in executive de-
partments. The United States supreme
court has several times passed upon it
by inference and implication, but this, it
is said, is the first direct decision. The
court in its opinion, written by Justice
tIeld,. says: "The important ques-
ton is whether in the absence
or knowledge that there were any valua-
mineral lands within the town site Davis
can be deprived of the premises pur-
chased and occupied by him, because of
the subsequent discovery of minerals in
lhem and the issue Of apatent to the dis
coVerer. After much consideration we
