LETTER sAML FREEMAN TO HON. SAM
TEL PHILLIPS.
SIR:-The Proprietors of the townships
Nos |, 4, 5, east of Union river have at
a meeting of each of said towns duly
warned for the purpose taken into CON
sderation the resolve of the General
Court for confirming the said townships
upon the payment of f125O and quoting
the settlers as in said resolve is provided.
They have assessed that sum on the
several rights. The tax on each right
including former charges amounts to the
sum Of Els. This has been advertised
according to law, and when the time Is
expired which the law points out these
rights will be advertised for sale; but
the proprietors have not the least expec-
tation OF their selling for SO much as the
tax amounts to, most of them, and II not
all choose rather to give up their rights
han pay anything more. Indeed, except
ing some of the settlers, there are those
who have demands for services that do
not wish to have anything further To do
with them. they only want to get pay for
their services. To this end they have
sent an advertisement to Mr.. keeper
of the Land office in Boston (which he
was desired to show to your honor before
he published il, offering to sell these
lands for one shilling per aere, but they
would take less il they cannot get this;
or il ii would be agreeable to You they
would relinquish ali claim to tae towns
if the charges they have been at could T."

TERRIFIC Fight.

Boston, July THE battle between Dick
OBrien of Lewiston, Me-, and Joe Wal
colt of this city last night was terrible
one from start to finish. O'Brien was
literally hammered to the floor in the
twelfth round, and from sheer exhaution
but not from an actual Knockout he was
unable to gain his feet within the time
limit. For nine rounds the advantage
inclined now to O'Brien and then to Wal
colt, the fighting being of cyclonic
character. From the ninth to the elev-
enth round, iclusive, O'Brien, though
gamely responding, gradually grew weak
er, though at times he momentarily set
the pace and punched Wolcott unmer-
cifully. The twelfth round ended the
story when, after receiving two blows on
the jaw and neck, O'Brien feebly at
tempted to return, but fell exhausted on
the floor instead. Ten seconds elapsed but
he did not rise, and Walcott was given
the decision

Jamestown, N. D., July 7.-President
Debs wired Gov. Shortridge that, if
agreeable to the local union, the men
could man trains to return the state
militia to tb~ir homes. The encampment
ended last night. The men held friend
" conference with the governor, and ex-
pressed desire to accommodate the
troops, bn. for the reason that the action
would be construed as the opening OF
the road and announced as sign of
weakening, they refused to haul the
troops with their own men. Efforts to
get crews outside of the regular en-
ployes was unavailing. The camp was
broken to-day, most of the troops return
ing by way of the 500 and Great North
ern lines, reaching the 500 by march
of twenty miles and taking the train at
Courtney. The Grand Forks, Devils
Lake, Grafton and Langdon companies
return by way of Minot Junction, on
the Great Northern and 500. The Fargo
company goes to Tinah Junction, in Min
nesota. The troops will camp at Spirit
wood lake, sixteen miles distant, tonight.
