 SPIRIT LAKE MONUMENT. who were cross gold. and of these one of the most pic turesque was that of Spirit Lake on East Okoboji lake, in Dickinson county. It was not far from the trail of the western emigrant trs:ns and in 1857 had pop ulation of 50 persons. On the day of the massacre four of the inhabitants hap pened to be away, and their lives were thus spared, Of the remaining 46 the mercileSS Sioux massacred 42 and car ried four into captivity.
 Among the four was Abbie Gardner, who was an infant at the time. She was held captive for four months, and with her three companions was ransomed by the state She married a man named Sharp, is still living and was largely in- strumental in persuading the legislature that the graves of the pioneers should be marked in q fitting manner. Her plea was answered at the last session of the general assembly, of Iowa by the passage of a bill appropriating $5, for the Spirit Lake monument, as it is called. The monument has been erected and will be unveiled in a short time. It is 55 feet high and is formed of alternate squares of rough and polished granite. At the top is capstone shaped like an arrowhead
 In addition to Mrs. Sharp another survivor. Mrs. Marble, is still living. Mrs. Sharp now owns the cabin and grounds where the massacre occurred and has established there a summer re- sort and a museum which is filled with mementos of the original settlement and the massacre. She also has a claim before the Indian depredations commis- sion in Washington for indemnity on account Of the loss of her fathers prop erty aI the time of the Sioux raid.

Either the clocks" must have gone crazy or the fingers of the referee had an unequal nervous twitching, for to the amazement of the entire audience, myself and even McAuliffe, the referee decided that McAuliffe's ticker registered more points than mine. That, too, when had the Brooklyn boy whipped to standstill and had outpointed him in every way. It was doubly aggravating, first, because it Is the only decision l ever had given against me out of nearly hundred fights, and, secondly, because l was robbed of 0 good, fat purse that had honestly won at Q time when I needed it most. To the everlasting credit of the American people be it said that they would not stand for a game like that The press unanimously denounced the decision as an outrage, and the audience that night vigorously hooted the refcrce for making such decision-a blundcr wOrsc than a crime, for it robbed hundreds of people who bet on me as well nS mVSt,lf--.pI hiSSad Nc llliffe for ac- ceptinl such a aVcrIiCt-yes, actually hissed Jack NcAulitto. the popular idol, at his own home and almost at his own door step Mc.AuiifTr seemed ashamed to ac- cCI't such judgment and hung his head as ho marched tu his dressing room, but he took the money all the same.

It Is Alleged That Ills Honor Began the
 Afair and Struck the First BIow-Ths
 Judicial ErmIns Rather Dusty at the
 Finish.
 HoBoKEN, N. J., Feb 23-Recorder Francis McDOnough and District Court Clerk Harry Rathjen of this place came to blows in police headquarters here. They pummeled each other furiously before they could be dragged apart, and the faces of both afterward bore marks of the encoun- ter.
 The recoriier, it is alleged, provoked the fight, using vile language and striking the first blow. The disgraceful affair took place within ten feet of the sergeant on duty at headquarters, just across narrow hallway from the recorders courtroom.
 McDonough is gray haired, but is well preserved and able to take good care of himself in an ordinary scrimmage. He is n man of convivial habits-iS something of a sport, in fact Rathjen is a much small CT man and much younger. Incidentally he is HobOken correspondent for New York daily, and in his capacity as such was in the police station, busy with the story of the Knoop-Siems murder, when the recorder came in. McDonough had Q conversation with Detective Marks and some other police officials about the case After that he was standing near a door of the large room in which the sergeant has an office when Rathjen passed.
 ''There goes the -" said the recorder, looking angrily at Rathjen, who quickly turned and asked:
 ''Who arc you calling 0 -Y
 s'YpaR' shouted McDonough. with an oath, striking out with his right and fol- lowing with his left.
 Landed on His Honors Nose.
 Rathien landed on his honor's nose, and then for several seconds it was give and take
 At least 20 people were in the room, in- cluding several policemen in uniform. The scrap was begun so suddenly and waged so vigorously that considerable damage was done before anybody could attempt to interfere. The scrappers-the large old man and the small young man-exchang- ed several blows over the shoulders of the first man who rushed between them, and belabored each other with obscenity and profanity until one was dragged one way and the other in an opposite direction and a door shut between them.
 II can stand investigation, " was Rath- jen's parting shot, and you know you can't. You're a pretty - to call me that"
 On account of McDonough's official po- sition-another pertinent consideration being that Rathjcn's father is sergeant at headquarters, though not on duty there when the fight occurred-no arrest was made, and probably none will be made McDonough and Rathjen have been ready to fight for a week or moro, since the latter published an account of the scene in court when State Senator William D. | Daily told the recorder, then presiding in | court, that he was "an old debauchee, "" 0 representative of guilty parties'' and a "consOrt of common wOmen," and his honor called the senator a liar" Thcre was some talk of impeachment proceedings at that time, but McDon- ough was not called to account in any way, nor did he attempt to punish Daily
