Judge Woody Of Missouia Against Prise
Fighting aud sure-Thiny Games
Special Dispatch to tho standard.
MIssouLA, Feb. 6.-In charging tho
grand jury which convened to-day Judge
Woody called attention to tho fact that
prize fighting was becoming notoriously
prevalent In the city. and was contrary to
law and the advancement Of morals and
should in consequence be prohibited.
The festive game of "craps" was scored
by the honorable juris, with the recon-
mendation that this city should fall IN
line with other corporate settlements and
abolish this most demoralizing and costly
amusement. Tho present grand jury is
composed of fearless and progressive citi-
zcns. and II is expected that the gambling
and la~lcss element will meet with rough
treatment ut their hands.

pendent upon the mining industry,
so that when tho latter is advancing

with il; and when all ARE depressed
the financial interests OF the church
are correspondingly weakened and
her work correspondingly interfered

WHEREAS, 1t is our conviction and
belief that tho present distress Las
