San Francisco, Dec. 18.-The fight
between Sharkey and Fitzsimmons for
possession of the $4,000 purse was
concluded yesterday when Judge Sader-
son of the superior court dissolved the
injunction restraining the Anglo-Cal-
ifornia bank from cashing the check.
The counsel for Sharkey called the at
tention of the court to the state law
prohibiting prize fighting, between
which and a glove contest he main
tanned there is no difference and there
fore argued that case involving pos
session of a purse for prize fighting
had no standing in court. The judge
concurred in this view and said he
would have terminated the proceed
fngs earlier had that point been called
to his judicial attention. The court
held that under the California statute
the civic board of supervisors had no
more power to legalize a prize fight
than to sanction a duel. The court
further said that there is no question
that the parties to the engagement are
indictable under the law and that the
witnesses of the exhibition are amen
able as law-breakers. F'itZsimmons
attorney said that the COURTS decision
ended the fight for the purse. He adj
mitted that his client was knocked out
by law. Neither Sharkey nor Lynch
presented the check for payment yes
tnrdt1y afternoon. Manager Lilienthal
of the AnglO-California bank stated
that he would decline to cash the check
pending the disposition of several writs
of garnishment against the amount OF
the purse The chief of police has
taken no action looking to the arrest of
the pugilists.

partial judges this county has ever
had is our present incumbent, Geo.
E. Darling, who has served the county
in that capacity the past ten years.
He is an able attorney. very conserva-
tive and renders his decisions in a

Men Whom no Man Need Be
Ashamed to Cast His
Ballot For.

The Republican county ticket of
Stevens county is composed of a set
OF men who have been tried, and
found not wanting in single instance,
and men who have proven themselves
the most obliging and obedient SER
wants this county has ever had. Not
a single candidate can be singled out
and a BLUR found on his public rec
ord, all having filed their Offices
ereditably to the county and them
selves.
AUDITOR n. r. SPUR.
The one to head the list is N. r..
Spur, our efficient county auditor,
who has served in that capacity since
FIRST elected in 1888, and is today the
same obliging and accommodating
gentleman he was when first elected.
Enter the auditors office at any time

his name as you go over your ballot.
SUPERINTENDENT E. B. LINsLEY.

The name of E. B. Linsley comes
before the voters of Stevens county
for the first time this fall. He is
widely known throughout the county,
having lived here since the spring of
1877, and his sterling integrity and
studious habits together with his
force of character have made him re-
spected by all who know him. The
Republicans of this county, recogniz-
ing his abilities and his fitness for
the place nominated him by very
large majority and are working for
him with will that means election de-
spite individual efforts to defeat him,
Mr.. Linsley after attending the high
school in Morris for two years, studied
Morris tribune., 1896-10-14

nearly two years at the Academy at
Minneapolis. Quitting the Academy
for lack of funds he did newspaper
work on the Minneapolis Tribune
about eighteen months, since which
time he has been teaching school in
Stevens county, and is accredited one
of our best teachers. In September
of last year hepassed successfully, as
the catalogue will show, the rigorous
examinations admitting him to the
classical course at the State univer-
sity, failing to get position which
had been offered him and which
would have enabled him to "work"
his way through came home and re-
sumed teaching, The Republicans
have made no mistake in nominating
Mr.. Linsley for the highly responsible
Office of Superintendent of schools.
His acquaintance with educational
methods, his interest in all matters
pertaining to education and his senti-
ments of duty and patriotism all con-
cur to make him just the man for the
place. Give him but a chance to
demonstrate his fitness for the Office
and we will leave the correctness Of
our estimate of his worth and his
character to the people of Stevens
county.
The county surveyor and coroner,
D. T. Wheaton and DR.. III. L. HUI
burd, have no opposition and will
undoubtedly be elected. Both ale
efficient and capable gentlemen and
we'll fitted for the Office.
This completes the list of county
offices to voted on by the entire
county, and next in line are the three
county commissioners as follows:
G. o. AANERUD.
Mr.. Aanerud is the regular Repub
lican nominee, and is true and loyal
to his party. He has considerable
in his, the First, district,
but when the vote is counted it will
be found that the people, also are
loyal and will stand by the regular
nominee. He is a successful farmer,
steady, honest and industrious, and
has the welfare Of his district at heart.
Morris tribune., 1896-10-14
SHERIFF G., Fl, MUNRO.

The next on the list comes that old
county war horse who has served this
county long and faithful and gaining
in popularity at every term, Geo. H.
Munro. He was first elected sheriff in
1884, and reelected five times and
every time by large majority. He
is one of those whole-souled, jovial
and genial sort that every body has a
good word for. The people of Stevens
county cannot do better than cast
their votes for G.. FL. Munro for
Sheriff, and you will find him today
as of yore, ever ready and willing to
to attend to your wants.
TREASURER CARL BUCKENTIN.

ker Carl Buckentin, whose ever
watchful eye has been faithfully kept
on the vault Of the county the past
four years so steady that not penny
has escaped in all those years. Mr.,
Buckentin, though not in Office as
long as some of his associates,
has proven himself in every way capa-
BILE of filling the Office to the advan-
tage of the county and has made
many ardent supporters. You will
always find him pleasant and oblig-
ing whenever any business transact
ions calls you in contact with him.
See that the x is placed opposite his
name when you make out your ballot.
REGISTER OF DEEDS ED. LEHMAN.
The youngest in Office as we'll as in
years is our efficient keeper of the rec
ordss Ed. Lehman. Mr.. Lehman has
served this county but one term, but
during that one term he has made
friends with all who been brought in
contact with him, and has given the
best of satisfaction. He is always
ready and ever willing to humble
himself in order 10 attend to your
wants. He is pleasant, accommoda-
ing and jovial, all of which makes it
a pleasure to deal with him, He is
always the same whether busin ess,
pleasure or social chat. Visit him,
Morris tribune., 1896-10-14
Vote for him.
j. H. o'BRIAN.


Mr.. O'Brian, the regular nominee of
the Third district, is comparatively
young farmer of his district, but he is
one who is always on the lookout to
do his fellow farmers a good turn and
to see to the benefits of his district. He
is honest and conscientious, and will
make one of the best commissioners
the district ever had. Cast your vote
for him.
HOMER EDDY.
Mr.. Eddy will represent the
Fourth district after election,
because he is the unani-
nous choice of the whole district.

he is so well known to be the best
man that could be found, that every
body wants him. They know that
district is safe in his hands, and into
his hands it must go. Mr., Eddy is
obliging and accommodating and will
do everything in his power to serve
his constituents faithful. Put an X
opposite his name.
