More Railroad Talk.
[Boise Evening slail.l


That the much talked-of rail
road that will tap Boise from
Butte City TO a point on the Cen
trail Pacific, or possibly at San
Francisco, will now be built, is
almost beyond doubt.
Yesterday afternoon. in the
mayors Office, about Is of Boise's
leading business men and capital
lists met, and the matter was
thoroughly discussed from every
point, so Mail reporter learns.
At the meeting the following
gentlemen were present:
H. H. Daniels, representing
eastern capitalists; Alfred Eoff,
G. w. Moore, Geo. D. Ellis,
Peter Soma, ]. B. Broadbent,
Thomas Davis, Sig Falk, John
Lemp, w. H. Savidge, A. R.
Andola, J. M. Clark. Frank
Coffin, j. F. Curtis, w. H. Rid
enbaugh.
H. H. Daniels is here, repre-
senting Denver, Philadelphia
and New York capitalists in this
Butte ana Boise railroad, and
such liberal inducements are held
out that the road is at our very
door.
1.-The lane is already open to
u.s." said one of Boise's capital
lists this morning. ''This new
company which Mr.. Daniels rep
resents is great organization.
and just see what they offer us.
ITO place them properly be-
fore the financial world, they ask
Boise to put up a bonus of not
to exceed 800. 900, as a matter
of good faith. Bonds or securi-
ties viii be issued for the return
of the entire bonus in about six
months. This sum, you under
stand, is just to start the matter
going. 1t is all to come back"
"Do Boise capitalists take
holdf" a reporter asked.
"Oh, they seem delighted. II
is something beyond any expec-
tation any of us ever had. A
through road from Butte City tc

people, the money, the road

reporter asked.

they claim it is a Republican

stated the law governing prize-fighting
as follows
The last Legislature adopted new
criminal code in which IL made prize
fghting a misdcmcanor punishable with
n fnc OF not less than 500 nor moro
than $1,000 and imprisonment for thirty
days. This law went into operation
July %, just passed.
THAT Legislature also subsequently
passed civil code, and in II enacted
that u fight may take place by taxing
out license OF $500. This law goes
into effect Sept. l. or thirty days before
the orbctt-fitzsimmons contest.
Thetc Is no doubt our supreme Court
law after the first day of September.
The civil code was adopted last and
therefore takes precedence over the
other"
