FARGO, N. d., June 20, 1891.
Not the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, 120 Broadway, New York, but the
Equitable Fire Insurance company of
New York, it is now stated, was intended
by the blundering dispatch which was
sent out from New York on the 18th inst
and which has been going the rounds of
the press.
The first named company is in no
more danger Of going into the hands of
receiver than is the Bank of England.
The absurdity of the mistake is shown
by the fact that the assets of the Equita-
BILE Life are over $l2O,0OO,OOO; it's surplus
over $24,000,000, and that it is now
stronger and more prosperous than ever
before. E. B. WINsH1p,
Manager for North Dakota, Fargo.

Devils Lake Inter Ocean: In speaking
of prohibition the other day Attorney
General Spencer stated that the law is
being generally observed throughout the
state. He is aware of no city where it is
openly violated and any complaints on
that score will be promptly attended to-.
He says that when he receives COM
plant of this kind he Immediately noti-
lies the district attorney of the county
in which the alleged infraction of the law
occurs, telling the attorney what his
duty is in the case and warning him
that if he neglects his duty the matter
will be placed in the hands of some one
who will push the prosecution. Gen.
Spencer thinks that the open saloon no
longer exists in any of the larger cities
of the state. From Wahpeton to Penn
bina, from Fargo to Bismarck and from
Grand Forks to Minot, the saloons are
closed, or at least he is not aware of any
thing which would Indicate different
state of affairs.

Two new features of the Fargo tour
nament was the appointing of a state
statistician and offering medal to the
fireman showing the best record at the
next convention. The record list must
not comprise tiremen who have attended
all regular meetings and been present at
all alarms but must consist of some dar-
ing deed or deeds in which he has run
the risk of a true fireman in endeavoring
to save life or property. The city or
town visited by the most disastrous
fires will stand the best show of secur-
ing such a fireman. Yet all does not de-
pend on that.

BEN BGITEkwOETI, one of the nation-
al managers of the Worlds Fair, has
made suggestion Which is worthy of
more than Il passing note. 1t is to the
effect that the newly admitted states,
North aud South Dakota, Montana, Ida
ho, Washington and Wyoming, unite in
the erection of a building in Chicago.
1t is suggested that it be in tho form of Il
six pointed star, one point for each state.
Those parties from North Dakota who
were at New Orleans at the exhibit there
say that this state derived much benefit
from the proximity to Minnesota, Nebras-
ka and Iowa. With the newly admitted
members of the union together the at
tention of the ontire world would be
more easily secured aud in this united
action larger and better exhibit could
be given than by each one going it alone.
OF necessity the appropriations from the
new states will be limited as compared
with the wealther ones of the east.
Unite them and they wonld easily be in
the race. At any rate the suggestion is
entitled to consideration at the hands of
the state board.

five to the loser. There were the usual
preIiminarics of choosing il referee and
timekeeper. AT the call of time Hayes
jumped out of his chair with Il rush as if
determined to make Il quick fight Lewis
acted on the defensive. Hayes had
everything his own way in this round
and landed on Lewis neck whenever he
wanted to but did not follow up Chs
rushes. In the fourth round Lewis took
the aggressive and landed several hard
blows on Hayes chin. After tins Hayes
appeared to be getting winded and at
the end of the round looked distressed,
Little fighting occurred in the sixth.
Hard fighting followed in the succeeding
round. Hayes kept up a continual ham,
merins with his left on Lewis neck, but
failed to follw up his advantage. At the
close of this round the friends of Lewis
did not make SO much noise and the man
who had been shouting, BEAT him on
the heart, Nels!' ceased his noise Hayes
crowded his man into Lewis corner in
the eighth where some hot mitigating ell
sued until Lewis landed his left on
Hayes mouth and scored knock down.
Lewis stock went up and his friels
yelled to cheer him.
In the opening of the ninth Hayes had
a wicked looking smile on his face. lie
landed with both hands on Lewis neck
and rushed him to the rops near the
footlights. Before Lewis could recover
a left-hand upper cut caught him on the
right jaw, and he sank TO the floor, al
most rolling off the stage A man
near the footlight caught him and the
timekeeper counted off the ten seconds.
Lewis could not respond. Hayes
friends greeted the decision of the referee
with shout. One of the men who had
been in Hayes corner than came to the
front of the stage and asked if any one
i'll the room wanted to fight No one
responded. Lewis was on his feet in a
minute after he fell. The sports who
were present declared that the exhibition
was Il success.
