Thecase of Grafton n. Frost, charged
with stealing $3.50 from a man named
c. c. Davenport, came up before Judge
Race for hearing yesterday at 4 p. m.
The evidence produced by the COM
pla,nant was of a very himsy char
acter, while three witnesses swore that
Mr.. Frost was nyt in the room at all
at the time of the alleged stealing of
the money. The affair occurred in
the saloon at Grafton and there ap-
peared to have been more whisky in
circulation than was conducive to the
reliability OF the evidence given. The
court dismissed the case against Mr.
Frost.-Great Falls Leader,
l.. c. Fyhrie has bonded all the

w. s. Winscott, and also several gold
properties adjoining owned by John
| s. Nj. Neill and j. o. Briscoe. The
Winscott properties have a vein OF
free gold 300 feet wide which is quar-
ried. Winscott has been working
these properties a long time and for
two years past they have netted him
SO, 900 month, working the ore in a
1O-stamp mill. The option is for
$25O,OO0. Other previous negotia-
tions for the Wlnscott property were
interfered with by a conflict in title,
which the consolidation with the Neill
and Briscoe properties removes.
| Livingston has a new method oi
chilling the interest in prize fighting
A twenty round contest took place
there one night last week. Before the
contest it leaked out that it was to
be a rank fake and arrangements were
made to give it fitting reception
Time was called shortly after II
O'Clock and as soon as the principal:
entered the ring a section OF the city
hose was coupled onto a hydrant neal
by. By the time the third round wa'
called everything was in readiness ant
while the principals were engaged ii
the rankest of fakes a rush was mad'
for the front window, the nozzle wa
thrust through the glass and the ful
force of the water was turned into tn
ring. The first shot struck Kid Han
sen, one of the combatants, in tn
small OF the back, resulting in 1
knockout blow. Both principal
rushed from the ring and the waite
was turned on the spectators, few es
Gaping without drenching. The emel
who had superintended the affair thel
rushed into the hall and while every
one was shouting and laughing owe
the matter some one turned the waite
on again and many who had take
part in the first affair were thoroughly
saturated. This will probably put
auietus on fake fights in Livingston.
