PERSELL AND GALLAGHER,
Both Men Training Hard for Their Fig
on the 2S.h,


Both Men Training Hard for Their Figh t
on the 2S:h.
Kid Gallagher and Charley Persell, the
welterweights who are ia contest before the
Helena Athletic club on the night of Fri
day. the 9th, are training hard. Gala
CHER. who is being handled by Frank Free
man, has engaged a room on north Main
street, opposite tho Windsor, and has it
fitted up with punching bag. dumb bells,
clubs, jumping rope and other accessories to
the training of a pugilist. He and Free
man put in two hours regularly every after
noon there. and in addition to using all the
2ymnastic appliances named, they box and
wrestle. Outdoor exercise Ia not neglected,
either. After Il light and early breakfast,
Gallagher and his trainer take q brisk walk
or run for about fifteen miles. There ia
another short walk aftor supper, and nine
O'Clock every night finds Gallagher in bed.
Persell still follows his own inc!inations
long as his fancy dictates. When he spars
with Ike Hayes at the ~latter's quarters on
Jackson street, he carries out the same
idea, stopping when he has had enough.
Punching bags. jumping ropes, ETC., also
enter into his System Of training. Persell
met Jim Burns. Immediately after that
fight, he began training Hayes. and the la
Dor involved in that kept him In good
shape.
The men fight at catch weights and will
enter the ring within a pound or two Of
each other. Persell will probably scale at
40 pounds. half q pound more than when
he fought Burns, while Gallagher will rip
the beam at l43 or l44. Gallagher holds the
title of welterweight champion of Montana,
never having had occasion to sacrifice ID to
anyone he has met yet. Additional inter
est is added to the match by the fact that
the winner will have to meet the man who
comes out best i'll the Needham-Maber
fight at Butte. The sports of the smoky
city hold Gallagher high in their estima-
ton. and a special tram will be run from
there the day of the contest.
The meeting will take place on the stage
of the opera house, with ]ttve.ouuoe gloves,
and tho winner will get $500 and the loser
800. The strictest rules for the avoidance
Of fouls have been agreed on.

THE BARDEN LAND CASE
Will Come Up for Argument Before
the Supreme Court This
Week.
Confusion Alleged to Exist in the
Briefs Prepared for the
People. ,
Counsel for the Railroad on Hand In Full
F"roe-Mr. Shields VIII Oppose
Them.

Sr. PAUL, Jan. 16.--fSpsciRl. IA Wash
in9ton special to the Pioneer Pfess says:
The oaee OF the Northern Pacific railroad
against Barden, involving tho construction
OF tina raiIroad granting act with reference
20 excepted mineral lands, will bs argued
in the supreme court this week. This case
Las been prosecuted by the state Of Mon
tana NJ TO the present time. but IL now
seems that the case of the stats has bsen
practically abandoned, as mono OF its repre-
Sentatives nrs here to look after IL. Major
MhQinnis. the mineral land commissioner
OF the state, is at Helena. as ia also ConRress-
man Dixon, the attorney for the state. The
Northern Pacific people ara on hand In full
force. Col. Mcknight. the new general
counsel of the road. ex-Attorney General
Garland and James Carter, the eminent
New York lawyer. spoken of as tho proba-
BILE attorney general under Cleveland, will
look after the Northern Paciic's interests
before the court. The absence Of Attorney
Dixon and Land Commissioner MaQinnis nj
this important crisis Ia looked upon as q
practical abandonment of the case By the
people of Montana.
Secretary Mobiles legal advisor, Assistant
Attorney General Shields. will appear for
the United States. The attorneys for Mon
tana have nled briefs, zach of which seems
to be more or less antagonistic to the other,
and none Of them agree with tho attorney
generals brief as to the proper oonstruc-
ton OF the law. In the midst of this ap-
parently hopeless confusion. and in the
absence Of the states representatives., the
railroad will be quite likely to have .
walkover.
The case is one of tho most important
that has come to the supreme court from
Montana In the history of that state or tor
ritory. The decision will settle the claims
of she Northern Pacific railroad to several
millions of acres of land claimed by the
people OF Montana to be mineral, and
therefore to be excepted from tho grant.

No Debt Paid II It Gould BE Put

sevsn Millions Appropriated for
Public Buildings Used for other Pur-
poses-What the Outcome?

WAsHlNoroN, Jan. 16.--The sub-commit-
tee of the ways and msans committee on
tho investigation Of the condition OF the
treasury expects to receive, tbs latter part
of this week. a large mount of informa-
tian for treasury experts. Treasury Off
cials have been at work steadily for three
weeks on the report. IL can be said on
good authority that the treasury statement
will not show q deficit in the treasury, or
the probability OF one during the present
fiscal year, but q close analysis is expected
to show that Secretary Foster at times has
had a hard task making both ends meet"
and his successor will be likely, unless re-
lieved by legislation at this session rsis-
ing additional revenue, to have
even q harder task. with pensions
steadily increasing. Secretary Foster in
formed the members OF congress that there
will be an available balance in the treasury
July l next, of $500. 900. 900. The balance.
fund on which there are annual require
msnts of $4,000, 600.
Democratic members Of congress expect
to show that there have been times when a
deficiency was only prevented by the pol
icy OF not paying anything to-day which
could be put off until Tomorrow. Not IL
single new public building was provided
for during this congress, but there still
remains over $14, 900, 600 to be expended on
account OF public buildings. and $l1. DOC. 600
against which there are no outstanding
contracts.
There were other matters also in which
the government revenues made it necessary
for the treasury to go slow" for fear that,
for the first time in many years, the balance
would be on the wrong side of the ledger.
On the result Of the investigation will de-
pend whether or not the ways and means
committee will recommend legislation in
creasing revenues at this session. The
present plan regarded az most expedient is
to increase the whisky tax. This increase
would raise over $35, 900. 900 additional
yearly. il the law could be 80 framed as to
effect whisky in bond. Many persons pre-
fer to revise the whole taxing system at
once. What will be the outcome of
course ia uncertain at this time, but matters
may soon develop by action on the part of
the waya and means committee,

there has been more or less trouble OK
perienced by their officers in the selection
of lands which were granted to them. Tho

until after surveys havs been made, and
surveys are not made until tho lands are

Republican Senators Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-There was q eau
ems of republican senators this morning to
arrange the order of business to follow the
anti-option bill, which. it is expected, will
be Disposed of Wednesday,. Nothing final
was don because of a difference of opinion
that could not DO adjusted in tho brief
time the caucus WAS in session. The diff
Guilty arose from an effort of certain sena-
tors to bind the caucus to take up the silver
repeal resolution immediately after the
anti-optlon bill. Silver senators bitterly
resisted the attempt.
The northwestern senators also made q
victorious light tor the admission of New
Mexico, Arizona. Utah and Oklahoma AS
states. 1t IL claimed that the opposition
heretofore manifested by Plntt, chairman
of the committee on territories, is weaken
ing. Probably CASEY will introduce an
omnibus bill for the purpose. All OF these,
except possibly Oklahoma, will be demo
cratic.

So Runs the Story ofa Woman In Distress

CHICAGO. Jan. ia local paper prints a
rather remarkable story Of a young woman
calling herself Mrs. John Sharon, who ap-
piled to the relief and aid society yesterday

father and her mother died n week after
she was born. she was adopted by Jewett
w. Adams. who was afterwards mayor of
Virginia City and governor of Nevada. She
was given every advantage and at the age
Of fourteen WAS sent to the Mills academy
for young ladies at Oakland. While there
she met John Sharon, a nephew of Senator
Sharon, and when she was Is they wore
married. They lived happily a number of
years and had three children. the eldest Of
husband had a good position in n Virginia
City mine. given him by the senator. Two
years ago her husband died. leaving her
practically nothing. She had g., 600 left
her by n brother, whom she discovered
after she married. and who died before her
husband. She says she appealed to the
Sharon family, but they declined to have
ANYTHING to do with her.
A year ago she went to Ell Paso, Texas,
on a visit and there met a handsome Span
lard. Joseph Lopez, with whom she became
infatuated and married in a short time. A
few months ago Lopez decided to come to
Chicago, alleging that he could make good
money there during the fair. Four months

induced her to give him ST. 800 she had put
away and deserted her end her children.
Since then she has been struggling along
doing vlrious kinds OF work, but yesterday
was forced to apply for aid for herself and
children. She says she accidentlv heard of
her father a few months ago. when he at
tended a convention at Butte, Mont. The
newspaper article she saw about him stated
that he is wealthy, but she added: II can
not feel that l have any claim on him now"

Will JOIN with Teller III anything that will

pronounced in their views. say that many
who are In favor OF free coinage will not
vote to repeal the sherman act, as they

after tho caucus Teller was III earnest CON
