THEY SAW JOHN L.
When the Big Fellow Appeared the
House Roared-To BE Repeated

When the Big Feiiow Appeared the
House Roared-To BE Repeated
Maguire's opera house was packed
last night with people curious to see
John l.. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan, and
many of them had not been inside the
house since Sullivan's last visit to
Butte. The anticipation of Sullivan
and Ryan's appearance at the close of
THE Wicklow Postman' marred for
many what is fairly good perform
ance of a good old Irish drama, in
which Eugene O'Rourke, Ella Wilson
and a few others did full justice to the
parts they played. The performance
was enlivened by singing and some
good dancing. At the close of the fourth
act came what the big audience had
been waiting for. "Parson" Davies,
the great sporting manager came upon
the stage and was received with gener-
Gus applause. 1t was his pleasant
duty, he said. to present to the au-
dience the great John l.. Sullivan, who
for II years had held the championship
of the world, meeting all corners and
when finally he met his fate, he met it
like man, simply saying he had enter
ed the ring once too often, but was
glad he had been defeated by an Amer
lean. John L., he said, was the peo-
pies fistic idol because of his fairness
and honesty. Mr.. Davies said Mr.. Sui
Ivan and Mr.. Ryan would spar three
friendly rounds and then introduced
Paddy Ryan, the ex-champion of
America, who stepped upon the stage
first and was received with cheers Sui
Ivan entered next from the opposite
side of the stage and the house turned
itself loose with deafening applause,
which was acknowledged by the big fell
low with a bow. Ryan, though much
the older, looked many years younger
than Sullivan and moved about great
deal more sprightly. Sullivan had the
appearance of well fed and comforta-
BILE old inn-keeper, an appearance that
runs with his ambition.
Gentlemen, shake hands,, said the
"Parson," and the old ring heroes went
through that form. Time" came
moment later and Ryan led off and
reached Sullivan somewhere about the
right shoulder and Sullivan slapped
Ryan on the right cheek. 1t was all
head work, but the blows were as
friendly as the Parsons" assurances
promised. The second round was a lit
tie more lively than the first, but a
great deal shorter, and the blows land
ed so friendly that even church dea-
con could find no objection to them.
The third round was more friendly
than the other two. Sullivan made one
or two feints at Ryan and then dropped
his hands by his side, turned his right
cheek to his adversary" and the latter
squared as If to strike, then took the
Boston boys" hand, and the friendly
contest was over.
During the performance of The
Wicklow Postman" Sullivan occupied
the right lower box with several of his
Butte friends and attracted more at
tention than the people on the stage.
The performance will be repeated to-
night and tomorrow night and at a
Wednesday matinee.

FEW REFUSED TO PAY
Silver Bows Taxpayers Prepared for
the License Law Decision.
MOST OF THEM LIQUlDATED
Cinnamon. as a Rule. Held Back to
Await the Supreme Courts
Acknowledgement by the
City and County.

The decision of the supreme court
that the license law is constitutional
will have more of an effect on other
counties than on Silver Bow, as Treas
urer Hill has always been able to col
lect licenses up very close. On the
strength of Judge Speer's decision. a
few refused to pay their licenses, but
when half a dozen of them were ar
rested under the law which makes IL q
misdemeanor to refuse to pay, they
concluded that it would be cheaper and
much less thouble to settle with the
treasurer, and Mr.. Hill had very little
trouble in making collections. His
monthly reports show that the receipts
from the licenses in February were ST.
500. and in March, Slopes. No effort
was made, however, to collect from
the Chinese laundrymen, as they were
the principal persons interested i'm the
test case, but they will now have to
pay up.
Immediately upon the supreme court
decision being rendered yesterday
County Treasurer Hill received a tele-
gram from Attorney General Haskell
announcing the result. In the city, as
well as in the county, the tax collector
has had very little trouble, although
there have been from Is to 20 persons
who refused to pay their licenses.
From the fact that a decision was ex-
pected soon, these parties were not
pushed, but il is announced that a lot
of warrants will be issued for their ar
rest to-day. All the big Dealers such
as saloonmen, cigarette dealers, pawn
shops and variety theaters, have paid
their city licenses without protests and
even many of the Cinnamon have paid
within month or two. No test has
ever been made on the city license law.
but great deal depended on the coun-
ty test case. The city last month col
lected about $1,000 in licenses, which
indicates that the fear of the laws
unconstitutionality effected the receipts
about as little in the city as 1t did in
the county,

In Livingston.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Livingston April Sat the aldermanic
election here to-day the democratic and
republican parties emerged from the con-
test with an equal division of the spoiis,
while the populists were routed horse,
foot and dragon. Two democrats and two
republicans were elected to the council
and when the members take their seats
that body will be a tie between the re-
publicans and the democrats, with re-
publican mayor presiding. There were
two populist aldermen on the old board,
but the only crumb of comfort for the
populists in to-day's election Is the sue
cess of Gordon in the First ward. whom
they endorsed after he had been nomi-
mated by the republicans. In the Second
ward a former republican stronghold.
George w. Wakefield. the democratic
nominee, was elected by % majority. Per-
sonally a very popular man, he also reap
ed the benefit resulting from republican
dissensions and intrigues in that ward.
But whatever the causes which brought
about his majority, IL is absolutely GER
tain that in his capacity as one of the
city fathers, he will treat his political
children of whatever faith with the strict
est impartiality and acknowledge his trust
with all fidelity.
The Third ward, though, was where the
battle ragged fiercest and where the forces
of the three contending armies were so
tenacious in their resistance that the loss
in the engagement was enormous, espe-
cially among the ranks of the officers. the
populists leaving upon the field of battle
two of their generals, the republicans one
and the democrats one. Probably this
ward would have sent two republicans to
the council had IL not been for the fact
that the Post, where the editor, George
Anderson, was a candidate, last week
came out antagonistic to certain factions
of the party and at the same time bit
terly opposed all others who possessed a
different political faith. Put up for
slaughter, Anderson might have obtained
enough votes from the camps of the en-
envy to have secured his election. but for
the ill-advised TRADE of the Post.
The proposition to bond the city was
favored by more than five-sevenths of the
voters, there being $40 votes for the bonds
and lis against. The entire vote of the
city was 453 Is more than the number
registered. about 70 votes being sworn in.
while more than so who were registered
did not show up at the polls.
The result by wards is as follows: First
ward-Gordon, 107: Lamb. 60; for bonds.
III; against, so. Second ward-Wakefield,
60; Hefferlin. SO; for bonds. 40; against "a.
Third ward-Hurza, 60; Mallahan. SO;
Short. 80: Anderson, q; Gilchrist "a; Will
son, rs; for bonds, SO; against, 30.

WITH ONLY A DOLLAR
G. ]. Freiburg, Tailor, Deserts His
Faithful Wife.
MANY CREDITORS MOURN
He Spirited Himself Away and
Took Nearly Si.iOo That His
Best Friend Had Helped to
Earn-Public indignant.

G.. ]. Freiburg. a South Butte tailor,
skipped out on Sunday afternoon and al
though he took more than sl.o00 in cold
cash with him. he left a penniless wife
and a miscellaneous collection of small
creditors behind. His creditors, who are
nearly all merchants with unsettled
monthly bills against him, laid the case
before the authorities yesterday and a
warrant was issued for his arrest as an
ahsconding debtor kilograms giving a
detailed description OF him were sent out
all along the different railways and IL is
believed that he will be headed of before
he gets a great ways from the city. Had
it not been for the heartless manner in
which he deserted his wife. leaving her
with only a single dollar. IL is probable
that his creditors would not have gone to
any trouble TO catch him. but their SYM
pathies were aroused by her condition
and IL was largely on her account that
they called in the officers.
Freiburg has been doing a modest tall
oring business in one of the front rooms
of his residence at No % Utah avenue,
and with the assistance of his wife man
aged to save up about li00, which was
concealed in a trunk. Early Sunday aft
ernoon he got a lot of samples together
and left the house, telling his wife that
he was going down to the Colorado smell
ter after an order for a suit of clothes.
He didn't return and, after spending a
sleepless night. his wife looked in the
trunk where their money was concealed
yesterday morning. and found that il was
all gone and she realized that she was
alone in the world. with only a dollar TO
her name. On investigating further. she
discovered that her husband had also
taken all of his best clothes with him
and II is supposed that he quietly snug
gled them out of the house a short time
previous to his departure.
Mrs. Freiburg is spoken of as a most
estimable and hard working woman and
the people of South Butce have given her
their deepest sympathy. while at the same
time they express their opinion of her
unfaithful husband In terms that are ex-
pressed in reputable newspapers by a
series of dashes. Freiburg Is described as
being 36 years old. weight LIS pounds
height about feet inches. He has a
mustache, walks stoop shoudered and
wore a gray checked suit when he left
home.
