the whole time, keeping La Fontise NOV
ing after him. A Leadville miner express
ed some admiration of Bezenahs foot
work, and Joe Gavin replied that Bezenah
ought to show some hand work, too, as
the event had not been advertised as q

After the battle was over La Fontise
said that one Of his ribs had been broken
in the second round. The statement Gre
ated surprise, as no ore of the spectators
had observed a blow hard enough to
break pane Of glass. The broken rib
probably accounts for the lack of force
in La Fontises swings.
ION his showing last night Bezenah~ is
very close to a counterfeit. His Montana
adversary left openings without Number.

test to La Fontise the spectators cheered,

CAPTAIN HALLAHAN'S SIDE
He Explains Completely the Dis
position of Money.
WAS NOT TOUCHED BY HIM
Company Did Not Want to Use It-Only
Ninety-Seven Dollars Expended.
Committee Has Access to
the Balance.

Captain John Hallahan of Company NJ,
in the LIST Montana volunteer infantry has
mace complete explanation of the dis
rosal of the $3.50 sent to the company
when 1t was in the Philippines last April.
Members Of the company, in writing to
Anaconda, have complained that the mon
ey was never received by them and have
intimated that the officers were with
holding 1t.
Captain j. j. McGuinness. deputy clerk
OF the district court, has received a let
ter from Captain Hallahan, written at
San Francisco last week. portion of
the letter follows:
THE facts about that money, at least
my connection with it, are as follows:
When the colonel notified Lieutenant
O'Leary about the money being on hand
and the purpose of it, I was in the hospi-
tai at Corregidor island. and was not in
command of the company. Lieutenants
Mead, O'Leary and Croft were in COM
mand. I was in the hospital for three
months. The money had arrived many
weeks before 1 knew anything about It,
and when I returned to the company at
San Fernando II left it at Malolos) 1 was
told that the company was anything but
unanimous about accepting the funds. As
they explained it to me, 1t came worded in
such a way that it seemed like an act of
pure charity from the donors and good
soldiers have pride, YOU know. I ex-
planned this to the colonel when he was
in Cavite. about July Is. He notified me
then for the first time that the money, u
bill of exchange, was held by him for
$3.50. stated to him that I did not wish
to have anything to do with 1t, as there
vas committee appointed by the citizens
to attend to it.
II have not handled a dollar of the
money. The committee was at liberty
and still Is, to use this money in any way
they see At. 800
During my absence I was left behind
at Manila, but took faster steamers and
made the trip around to Hong Kong and
Shanghai and caught the Zealandia at
Nagasaki Ninety-seven dollars Of the
fund was used on board ship in my alb
sence to purchase fruits, crackers butter,
etc, for the men. No more money was
| expended from that fund after I got
aboard. used our regular company fnud
for purchasing the groceries and tobacco
necessary.
There is one thing that my friends can
bet on, and that is that have not appro-
priated or squandered cent Of the mon
ey intrusted to me. This and cruelty or
injustice I have avoided. Some of the
company were punished. but not until
their repeated meanness and insubordina-
ton made 1t a necessity.
II never intended that NJ company
should be second to any, particularly in
the field. II have been exacting. 1t was
with this end In view, not for any per-
aonal reasons EAt7 tsr
Other interesting news Is contained in
tho letter. Captain Hallahan mentions
the fact that he has secured a cannon,
which he proposes to bring home with
