THE oNE-MILE LIMIT LAW.
THE LINES OF PROHIBITION.

The parties affected by the law claimed that
it should be construed to mean one mile from
the Soldiers Home property by the nearest
travelled highway, but the attorney for the Dis
trict decided that the law meant that no license
should be issued for any place located
Soldiers Home property in a straight line.
Under this latter construction Of the act the
lines Of prohibition enter the city limits imme-
diately south Of Florida avenue on Ia,
street west, thence southwest to New Jer-
sey avenue and Q street, thence north
west, striking It'll street and Rhode
Island avenue and 14th and streets
northwest and out into the county. Briefly,
beginning on the north this ode of Brightwood
it is bounded on the east by 10th street cas-,
extended. south by It'll street and Rhode

1t is believed that a very large number of

demands for q license: Robert L. Tolson,
Rock Creek Church road, retail; Alexander s.

spective cases.

ancc Of Sheriff Houston. The sheriff he'd
retired for the night, but got up shortly
after midnight and went down to Burma
cell which is on tho same corridor ~ bis
own apartments, and Was much surprissd
on looking in through the bars to 80 the
guard apparently sleeping on the murder
cr's couch. The guard Was severely rep-
rima nded and admouishcd to keep awake
in the future when on guarl. Houston
after taking one or two precautionary
measures returned to his rooms.
The sheriff was not satisficd in his own
mind that everything vas all right, and
from what he had already seen his conn.
dence in tho guard. Noble, was shaken. II
not entirely gone. lie therefore got out
Of bed again, dressed himself and moved
cautiously along the corridor in the direc-
tion Of Burns cell. When within . few
feet of the cell he heard q suspicious
scraping sound, which on investigation
was found TO como from file or saw,
Win winch burue was uoXtctOuoAy So~
gagged in saving his way out into the main
corridor, when his escape would have
been easily accomplished. Houston stood
still and watched the pcrformanoo
for q minute or two and then said; "You
had better give me that file, Burns; ] can

entity unconcerncd, handed over the ham
die Of his instrument, but the tilo OF saw,

could not bc found. The guard, Nohle,
during this performance was lying on
Burns bed, apparently IN . stupor, and
this fact has given color 10 the suppnsi.
tion that he was druggcd by the doomed
man, although tho officers are satisfied
that the guard had been bribed by soms
friends of Burns ON tho outside to assist
the murderer TO escape. and that he had
| furnished him with the file with which he
was working when discovered. Burns
was Immediately removed to n cell In the
main Jail, where he will be confined

BILLINGS. Dec. i2.-The hardest hght
that has ever been witnessed In this part
OF Montana took place between Young
Sweeney of Spokane. who claims the l06-
pound championship Of the Northwest,
and Henry Daglo of Wyoming. Dagls
weighed l5aI. pounds aud Sweeney
weighed i07 pounds st rinRside. The
match was for purse OF $2oO and two.
thirds of the gate receipts for the winner
and one.third of gate receipts to loser.
Dagle agreed to knock Sweeney out In six
rounds or loose the match.
At the call of time they both went ~
each other like bull dogs and kept IL up
until the end of tho fourth round, when
they were so weak that neither could
strike a blow hard enough to do any dam
age. and both were covered with blood.
The stage looked as IL il had received .

match at the end of the seventh round,

that there were eight roads between New

the public there was but one. II the IRON
