Want a Mortgage.

San Francisco, April 24.-The barken-
tine Ruth from the South seas brings the
news that on hearing of the capture of
Manila the governor of Ponape, one of
the Carolines, ran one of his two gunboats
into the Mangrove swamps and there they
were still lying when the Ruth sailed from
Ponape. The governor made prisoner of
j, " Melander, an American leader of
Kusaie and detained his vessel loaded
with cargo. Henry Nonapi, native, was
also seized and held as a hostage against
harm from the native tribes. Just before
the Ruth sailed Melander was released
the governor telling him that his vessel
had never been seized.
1t is said that the German firm which
has control of thesMarshall Gilbert trade
has advanced money and goods to the be-
leaguered Spanish governor. Representa-
tves of the firm were working hard to
get mortgage on the Spanish lands.
This done, there would be a German trad
er established al Ponape, another at Ruk
and another at kusae.

Nose La Fontise, of Montana, Is

He Is Making a Record for Himself in
San Francisco - Nose Will Soon
Fight Young Peter jackson
at Salinas.

Nose La Fontise, the Montana prize
fighter, is making the good ones rustic
around San Francisco these days, and
he is slowly but surely climbing the lad
der to pugilistic fame. He fought Har-
ry Pdgeon of Chicago on Thursday
evening at San Francisco and was
awarded the decision. The Bulletin
spoke as follows of the fight:
THE entertainment at the Reliance
club last night was one of the best the
club has offered to their members for
a long time. The event of the evening
was the contest between Harry Pid-
geon. the clever Chicago boxer, and
Nose La Fontise the hard hitting Mon
tana pugilist.
.Pidseon, on the strength of his
drawn battle with Jack McAulifte at
Hot Springs some few years ago, was
made a strong favorite in the betting,
and the fact that he has been associated
with race track people, who always bet
heavily on all sporting events, his price
ran up to as good as 10 to at the ring.
The contest was a very interesting one,
and La Fontise demonstrated very
clearly that Pidgeon, although good
fighter, was far from being in his class.

mercifully throughout the eight rounds,
at the end of which the referee, Jimmy
Fox, gave La Fontise the decision. 1t
was evident that La Fontise could have
knocked his opponent out had he been
allowed to do so by his chief handler,
Biddy Bishop, who stated that there
was no reason why we should take
chance for a knockout as long as we
had the money won,' which is truly
good logic.
"Pidgeon was knocked clear off his
feet with good hard Wallops on the jaw
on more than one occasion. but took
his gruelling gamely and fought back
willingly.
THE fight was all the more interest
ing from the fact that there was so
much money wagered on the result.
Tom Williams, the horseman, backed
Pidgeon and is said to have lost 500.
Jockey Charley Thorpe, who was in
Pidgeon's corner, lost $500. There were

ANACONDA NEWS.
A VERY PECULIAR CASE
An Action Against Judge Ken
nedy for S18.46.
AFFAIR is FOUR YEARS OLD
The Suit Is Brought About by a Judg-
ment Rendered Against Whitaker
Bros. in 1895 by Justice
F. M Fox.

The action of Whitaker Bros. against
Judge Frank Kennedy to recover the
sum of $lS46 was argued yesterday af-
ternoon in Judge Fitzgerald's court.
The plaintiffs were represented by At
torney j. NJ. Self and Judge Kennedy
was represented by County Attorney j.
H. Duffy and Deputy County Attorney
j. T. Casey.
The action is the result of judg-
ment rendered in 1895 by Justice F. NJ
Fox, Judge Kennedy's predecessor
against Whitaker Bros. in favor of j.
V. Collins & Co. for $3.50. The judg-
ment was never satisfied. Judge Ken
needy, being the successor of Judge Fox,
issued an execution on the Judgment
rendered by Justice Fox and collected
1852 on the judgment. Whitaker filed
an affidavit of, exemption and Collins
filed an affidavit showing that the
money was not exempt. Judge kenne-
dy decided that the money was for the
necessaries of life and only released
half of it under the statute.
At this time j. M. Self. attorney for
Whitaker Bros. brought an action
against Judge Frank Kennedy and his
bondsmen for the other half of the
money.
The pleadngs and evidence intro
duced yesterday afternoon before Judge
Fitzgerald showed that Kennedy held
the money as a judicial officer and was
sued for the balance of the money that
he held as a justice of the peace.
Messrs. Duffy and Casey, attorneys
for Judge Kennedy, argued that Judge
Fitzgerald. having only the same juris-
diction as a justice of the peace, he
has no authority to review the judicial
acts of Judge Kennedy, and that the
only remedy for Whitaker was to ap
peal to the district court or take it
there by a writ of review. The defend
ants attorneys made a motion to dis
miss the suit. The motion was taken
under advisement until 2 o'clock this
afternoon.

WHAT SERGEANT PATRICK M'BRlDE
OF COMPANY K SAYS ABOUT
PABST'S BEER IN THE PHILIPPINES.

From the following it will be seen
that Pabst's beer holds a very warm
place in the hearts of the Montana
boys, as we'll as with the boys from all
other states. Mr.. Mcbride states in a
letter to friend in this city that i'm
mediately after the battle of Santa
Ana, when the men We're almost dying
from thirst and the fatigue consequent
upon their terrible exertions. that the
Pabst agency of Manila gave each COM
pany one barrel of beer to refresh the
soldiers after their hard fighting in the
hot sun. I think that every man.
says Mr.. Mcbride, should stand by
Pabst beer and drink only this brand
l know every soldier in the Philippines
Will remember them. They treated
every soldier on the island with Mil
waukee beer, and if it had not been for
the kindness of the Pabst people, the
Montana men would have had to drink
water out of dirty and very probably
poisoned wells. That is the state of af
fairs that existed as far as we We're
concerned. All other states sent their
men money but Montana, and all we
got was Governor Smiths congratula-
lions. We want all our friends to re-
member the Pabst beer and drink moth
ing else
From this it will be seen that one of
the prominent industries of the United
States is already very well established
and has made a great many friends in
the Philippines. This speaks very
highly of the enterprise of. this concern,
and shows that while having enterprise
it has patriotism as well. This is not
the only instance of notices being made
of this company's very gener
Gus gifts to the soldiers, as all
the Eastern papers have had
comments upon the subject. Cen
eral Charles King, the soldier-novelist,
in writing an account of the battle to
the Milwaukee Sentinel, winds up
graphic description of the fight by say
ing: and, mind you this, too, Milwau-
kee was promptly on hand in Kings
brigade to express appreciation in tan
gible form. The very moment the roads
were safe out came a representative of
the Pabst brewery to request the gem
erals consent to present barrel of the
best on hand to every company engag-
ed, which, with the batteries, made 26.
I have forgotten what the general said,
but the brigade hasn't"
This popular brand of beer can be
found in every saloon in the city of
Anaconda. Show your appreciation of
their kindness to our boys in Manila
by helping increase their sales. The
only way to do that is to call for Pabst
and take no other.
