there would be at least 81, 900 or 40, 600
Indians that would eventually locate in
Mexico after this government had set

He says q committee will soon 60 to
Washington to confer with the depart

the allotment plan and prefer to sell

session of the Cherokee coun-
Gil for chief of the ma

Reddy Gallagher, of this city, and

afternoon. The fight had not received

stripped for the encounter. Gallagher
seemed to have a slight advantage over
his antagonist in weight, but both men
seemed to be in fairly good condition.
In the first few rounds Gallagher did
most of the leading, but Mahar clever

safe distance. Gallagher forced most
OF the fighting and in about the sixth
round was very tired. Mahsr also
Der OF rounds the fight dragged. Had
Gallagher not made such an attempt to
lead his man on he would have made q
better showing.
Ia the last rounds the men seemed
to warm up and went at each other

lagher was growing tired, started in
on his man and in the twelfth round,
with a right swing on the Jaw, he. sent
Gallagher hard to the ground. Gal

1t was not a popular decision, as
many thought the fight should have
been awarded to Mahar although
the sympathies of the crowd were most

Mahar came out of the fight with.

Gallagher had a bad cut over his

William Sells. advance manager O.
the Walter L. Main show, which ex.

tucson yesterday to meet the circus.
In speaking of the prospect of the
big show wintering in this city Mr.
sells said there was every proba bility
OF 1tlf satisfactory arrangements could
be made with the authorities.
'"The climate is all right for us dur.

the location of Ell Paso and it's railroad
facilities could not be more suitable for
our purpose.
Next season we contemplate going
to New Zealand and Australia to ex-
hIolt ana early next spring. should
mr. Main decide to spend the winter
here, we will make tour of the west
and northwest and then sail from San
Francisco. There has been no show in
New Zealand since Cole exhited there
twenty years ago and none in Australia
for ten years."

The animal trainers and stable bows
work steadily all winter. making a
total OF about two hundred people on

laid off remain in the
vicinity and are employed at the open
Ing of the following season.
1T will cost fully $4,000 to winter
the show and most of this money will
be spent right here in Ell Paso. Mr..
Main pays cash for every thing and
about the only thing to be shipped In
from distance would be the feed for
the horses and animals.
About all we would need In the
way of buildings would be a frame
structure, to cost probably $4,000, and
this could be put up In a few days
Our men are all hardworking and
