Villas to-day received telegram from J. H.
Dean, manager of the Yellowstone Park
association hotels, stating that the body OF
y. NJ. Wilson had besn found in the heavy
timber about one mile north Of the Nam
moth Hot Springs. Wilson disappeared
suddenly about 4 year ago. He was for
many years scout for the government and
was employed in that capacity up 10 the
time OF his disappearance. No cause could
be assigned at the time for suicide and il
was feared that he had met with foul play.
The Masonic bodies Of this city, Of which
Wilson was memher, made every effort TO
ind his whereabouts and Pinkerton de-
tective spent several weeks in tho park in
their employ. His theory was that Wilson
had simply left the country. The detective
learned that Wilson had been disappointed
in a love affair and that he imagined him.
self prosecuted. The telegram to Mr.. Villas
did not state whether appearances went to
show that Wilson was murdered or had
committed suicide, but the supposition
here ia that he shot himself. The body was
Identified by means Of papers and articles

FREE IMPORTATION OF ANIMALS.
ACompiaint That It Discrimiuates Aeains
American Trotiers.

ACompiaint That 1t Discriminate Against
American Trosters
WASHINGTON, June 12.--Complaint has
been made to the secretary of the treasury
that the regulations of that department in
regard to the free Importation Of animals
for breeding purposes discriminate against
American trotters. The complaint was
made by the Hon. Walter l. Hayes. member
Of congress from Iowa, and was referred by
the treasury department to Secretary Rusk.
TO Mr. Hayss's complaint that these regu-
lations, made upon expert advice OF the
secretary of Agriculture" strike blow at
the only distinctive type of American horse,
Secretary kusk has replied that the law re-
quires that no animal shall be admitted
free unless pure bred Of recognized breed;
that no discrimination is made against
any breed: that the only requirement. is that
an animal to be imported free Of duty, should
have tye-Gixteenths of the blood of its
breed. and that, if evidence to this effect
cannot be produced, surely such animals
cannot be considered pure bred. ''As
matter of fact" the secretary said. "the
standard trotter is purely an American pro-
duction, and consequently breeders do not
need to import t.ottinR horses to improve
the American trottsr. while animals so i'm
ported, on the other hand, will doubtless be
found to compete with American breeders,"
In connection with this subject another
complaint in regard to the regulations
comes from w. +. Todd. from whose letter,
addressed to Senator Hale. it appears that
this gentleman has purchased and fitted up
q stock farm in New Brunswick, Canada,
whore he is raising standard trotters and
he desires an exception made to the
regulations in order that he may sell
the product of his stock farm in the
markets Of the United States without being
subject to duty. 70 this complaint the Sec
retary has replied that if MIR. Todd's stock
are. not sufficiently pure bred for him to
farnish the evidence necessary to secure
their free entry under the regulations, they
should be subject to duty the Ame as any
other horses imported into the country to
compete With the product of our own farms.
''lf Mr.. Todd" says the sec etary. takes
of tho cheap land and cheap la
Dor to be found in English provinces, spend
ing his money for the improvement of the
there located and paying taxes
for the support Of foreign government
DO not see how he can expect an exception
to be made in his favor SO that the produce
Of his farm can reach American markets

But His Hands Were Broken ana the
Sailor Kid Got the Fight
MIssouLA, June 12.-[special. Last
night at the Mascot theater in this city
Lon Turner, the Sailor Kid. and Mat
Casey fought thirty-one rounds for 5000
purse and the gate receipts. The contest
was the gan,est battle on both sides ever
fought in Missoula. Casey weighed 1923
pounds and the Kid l28. Jim Burns and
Reddy German were behind Casey, and
Kid sheehan and George Cannon behind
Iutner. Jim Osborn was chosen referee
and Jerry German timekeeper. In the first
round each man was cautious. In the sec
ond round Casey landed several heavy ones
on the Kids ribs and the Kid jabbed him
on the chin. The Kid WAS playing for
Casey's mouth continually, as he did in the
previous fight At the end of this round
Casey's mouth was bleeding, giving the Kid
first blood. In the third. fourth and fifth
rounds the Kid continued to land straight
blows on Casey's chin and Casey landed
heavy rib. roasters and blows in the Kids
right eye, which soon commenced to close.
From the fifth TO sixteenth the fighting
was heavy. The Kids right eye was COM
pletely closed and the other was in bad con-
dition. The right eye had been lanced two
or three times by the Kids seconds. In the
eighteenth round Casey commenced the
tactics which he continued until the end of
the contest. which woie to walk around the.
ring. stop occasionally and lead out. land
ing on the Kids right eye. 1t was evident
to those near to the ring that something
was wfong with Casey's right hand, as he
was doing all his work with the left. The
last few rounds the referee insisted that be
do less walking, though he still did most of
the leading.
When time was called for the thirty. first
round Casey said he oouldn't win as both of
his hands were broken and pulled off the
gloves. A physician pronounced it a fact
and advised him not to fight any more.
There was some dissatisfaction with the
decision of the referee in giving the Fight
TO the Sailor Kid. Many thought it should
have been called d aw, as the contest was
announced for twsnty-f five roun ds and with
The exception of Casey's hands the Kid was
much the worst punished.
