SPORTING WORLD.
4 Glove Contest on Big Indian In
Which One Of tho Men
Laid Down.
Charles Eyton, Light Weight
Champion Of Australia, Look
ing for a Match.
Butte and Great Falls Organizing Their
Teams to Enter ti,c state Isase
Hail League.

A crowdo Of thirty disappointed sports rode
into town late yesterday afternoon from
Big Indian in Jefferson county. They left
the city at one p. m. in hacks to 500 a finish
light between Chick Rogers, the champion
welter weight Of Montana. and Brocky
ONeil, who at one time in the past, was a
good man in the ring. Tho contest, what
there was of it, WAS very brief and ended
by Brocky pulling off the ~four-ounoe gloves
and quitting. The fight took place on a
gravelly piece of ground on Big Indian. A
ring was formed by backing the hacks in a
circle. Both mon appeared in regulation
fighting costume. Rodgers weighed 155
and was in good condition. O'Neil, who is
older than Chick, weighed 165. He was
pulled up and not fit to fight. II was plain
from the call of time thar he
was not in it with his youthful
opponent. Rodgers sent him to the tnrf
twice. After going down the second time
O'Neil pulled off his gloves and refused TO
continue. There WAS much disgust ex-
pressed by the assembled sports. O'Neil
managed to land on Rodgers ! few times
but was not effective. Johnnie Doyle and
the 'Pompadour Kid" were behind Rod
gers. Ike Hayes and Reddy Owens were in
O'Neil's corner and d w~ell-known sporting
man, who has often filled the Office before,
was the ~referee. 10 give the crowd some
thing for their money Rodgers and Charles
Eyton, the champion lightweight wrestler
of Australia, put on the gloves for three
rounds. It was q clever scientific exhibi-
ton. which alleviatad to some extent the
feelings Of the diRa nnninfa1 AnprtA who
stood around in the raw and chilly air.

STOCK GROWERS ASSOCIATION.
Tie Annual Meeting Commences To-Mor-
SE& row at Miles City.

The Annual Meeting Commences To-Mor-
.s&& %=. row ut Miles City.
Miles City will be crowded for the next
few DAYS with stockmen from all parts of
the state. One of the most important
questions to be brought before the %associa-
tion ia the action of the governor of Wvom-
ing. The Northwestern Live Stock Journal
called attention to this matter some time
ago and to the suggestion Of DR.. Holloway,
state veterinarian of Montana, that a trail
-four miles in width from Grin junction
north to the present Montana line as the
solution Of the present quarantine entan-
clement. This seems to be an easy way
out of q very serious dilemma.
1.-THE present attitude of our governor
cannot be maintained, says the Jour
nal. An attempt to do SO will
involve the state in legal contests
Of money. We are now taxed almost to
death and can stand no additional bur dens
in that direction. A few hundred dollars
will mark out a trail. and if this ia done
shippers will respect the lines established.
II this is not done more than 1000 cattle
will march lesiurely across the state its
entire width. and the damage will be far
trail half way across the state.
"Our %nelghbo.s have made large pur-
ehases of Texas, New. Mexico and Arizona
cattle in districts where the health of the
cattle is unquestioned and whence they
have heretofore come freely and without
restraint, and they are entitled to some con-
siderntion. No one questions the right to
full proteotion-on the other hand, no one
can rightfully deny entrance to cattle
known to be healthy. The opening of a
legal trail will be a safe and consistent
thing to do and it will save our people much
trouble and many dollars. Open the trail"
If the quarantine regulation of Wyoming
is obeyed, stookmen will be compelled to
ship from Cheyenne to Grin Junction,
thence east to Oelricb. S. D., where the
cattle are to unloaded and driven around the
eastern edge of the Black Hills country, and
thence west to their destination in Mon
tnna. This makes IN additional expense Of
about $50 a car, besides doubling the dis
tance to drive across the country. If the
order is enforced it is clailmsd it will defeat
a good many sales and eat up the profits Of
goyoral wears.

An Estimate That Montana Owners
Will Realize $1,000, 900 From
Thor Crop"
The State Stock Growers Assoc
citation to Meet at Miles City
Tomorrow.
A Large Attendance Expacted-The Action
Of Wyominx's Governor to Te
Considered.

j. II. Landere, inspector of live stock at
Minnesota Transfer, Twin City stock yards
and South 1T. Paul, estimates that the run
of Montana beeves the coming season will
reach LEO. 600 head. The Montana cattle
growers should realize about ST. 0 O 900
from their Crop this year. The winter
losses on range cattle were worry light-not
more than three per cent. in most of the
herds. The stock growers of Montana and
Wyoming have little TO complain OF, ex-
cepting the present low prices OF beeves and
the d~epredations of cattle and horse thieves.
There 10 a hope that the markets will show
advances in June and July, 81 somo feeders
In the corn-Rrowing districts have sold
nearly all Of their fat stock.
inspector Iandsrs' estimate Ia entitled to
much consideration, as he has spent a life
time on the ranges and has kept track Of
the Montana cattle movement for several
years in his present position. Early in
1891 he estimated that the run Of that year
would reach 20O,0 900 head, and some we'll
rosted people thought the figure was too
high. The run Of 1891 footed up 100000
head, which, at the low average Of $35 each,
resulted in sales to the mount OF 81, 21O,-
600.
Mr.. Landers says: ''The purchases Of
stock cattle made i'll Minnesota for ship
ment 60 the northwestern part Of this state
and to the Dakotas and Montana nave been
much heavier this season than usual. They
promise to keep up for some time. Large
shipments have been made from here to
Dickinson, N. D., where snail rachmen as
nall oM the I a n ~ IN ~ina or,a ~, y sin y
their herds. The shipments Of horses to
the Dakotas are very heavy this season. and
numbered nearly 5000 head during Feb
ruary, with q large addition in March. The
demand is for good heavy horses that are
we'll broken and in condition for farm
work"
