PLUCkY PATTY LOST.
Pete leagues Badger Too Much for
ouinn's Bulldog.

Bring on your bulldog" is Pete
leagues invitation to those who think
their dogs can whip this badger. II
have a knack of training badgers" said
Mr. league last night after Free
Quinn's bulldog Patty fought for 40
minutes and failed to knock out the
badger, which has successfully stood off
three other crack bulldogs and won the
money for his owner each time.
The Olympia arena was full of en-
thusiasm last night. Mr.. Quinn bet
Mr.. league that the latter's badger
would fall before his mighty Patty.
The fight was of 40 minutes duration
with two-minute rests between five
minute rounds. The agreement was
that if the dog failed to do up the
badger" in that time, Mr.. Quinn lost
SIS. If the dog killed or exhausted the
badger. Quinn was to take SIS of Mr.
leagues good money. The badger was
put in a barrel sunk in the ground at
an angle of IS degrees. When the dog
was slipped he jumped up to the bar
rel, from which the badger looked and
shifted and barked. He positively re-
fused to go in after the badger.
Pull him out" said Mr.. Quinn, land
We'll see what Patty will do to him"
Peter reached in with his iron tongs
and pulled the badger out, then the fun
began. Patty went after him and it
looked like all day with the badger.
BY degrees the badger worked himself
back into the barrel and the dog
barked. The next round was series
of surprises. On the slip Patty went
into the barrel and pulled the badger
out and then followed a struggle that
was exciting. The badger was ever on
the defensive and only once showed
aggressiveness, and then he sank his
teeth in the dogs face and cut an ugly
cash under his eye. His claw also
made long incision on the dogs
breast. 1t was the earnest dog that
ever tackled the badger, and while he
fought gamely his efforts made not the
least impression on the badger. He
might as well have tussled with a roll
of vulcanized rubber. At the end of
the struggle the dog was clearly wind
ed, the badger crouched in his barrel
and the dog barked and painted.
To finish him was out of the question.
Patty lost the money for his owner,
but showed that he was game clear
through.

mill to his toy yacht. The fans of the
mill revolve fastest when the wind Is
nigh and the craft is one of the swiftest
between Michigan City and Waukegan.
The owner of the boat accepted a wager
that he could not construct a boat
which would be able to make progress
in the teeth of the wind. The bet was
made early in the spring. The boat
man began to think all day long. Last
Sunday he announced that he had con-
structed a boat according to specifica-
tons and was ready to try it in order
that his point might be proved and his
money won.
The craft, when in the water, proved
to be skiff1ike boat three feet long.
Directly under the bow was a deep
keel. From the stern rose long vane,
ike those seen on country barns, to
show the direction of the wind. Right
above the bow there was a shaft with a
windmill ten inches in diameter on the
end. The shaft inclined aft and ran
through what would have been the
sternpost until 1t struck below the
water line. A five-inch propeller was
attached to this end of it. 1t was such
an absurd looking craft that everybody
laughed when its builder put the I'M
wieldy thing into the water.
strong west wind was blowing. The
queer boat quavered for a second as it
struck the water, then slowly but stead
lily came to the wind. The windmill
caught the force of the gale and be-
gan to revolve. Little by little the boat
forged ahead. The harder the wind
blew the more rapidly it gained head
way. The forward keel and the after
weather vane kept it dead in the wind.
The absurd little vessel stood out from
the dock until its owner had to get in
rowboat to capture it, Everybody
cheered and the wager was declared
won. 1t is quite probable that the in
ventor will build a boat on the same
principle big enough to carry him and a
friend or two. The little model has
created no end of talk on the lake shore.

ANOTHER MINING SUIT
Begun by the NJ. o. p. Company Against
the Butte & Boston.

The M. o. p. company yesterday
commenced a suit in the district court
against the Butte & Boston Mining
company and the Old Colony Trust COM
pany for the purpose of condemning
some land in the vicinity of the M. o.
p. concentration, which is needed for
dump and tailings deposit. The COM
plant in the case relates that the plain
tiff on Nov. IS, 1892 secured a 10 years
lease from the Butte & Boston on the
ground now used for a dump at a rem
tai of $500 month, the rental being
based on a valuation of $36, 900 for the
land. The federal court once decided
however, that the lessees could not
run talings onto the leased ground
hence the suit to condemn it for that
use. 1t is alleged that the land is of
no value to any one and that it is
covered with the dump and tailings.
and that the concentration cannot be
worked without a place to deposit its
waste and tailings. The court is asked
to appoint three disinterested persons
to appraise the land. The suit is in
Judge Clancy's department of court.

For Reckless Driving,

c. Schultz was arrested at the corner
of Main and Park streets yesterday for
reckless driving. A man named Larry
Rafferty, was crossing the street when
Schultz drove along. The latter yelled
gruffly to the pedestrian to get out of
the way, and when Rafferty, did not
move as quickly as Schultz thought he
ought ito, he deliberately ran Rafferty,
down. Rafferty, was severely bruised
but had no bones broken. Officer Rad
milovich witnessed the occurrence and
at once took Schultz to the city Jail,
where he furnished bonds for his APP
pearance in police court

HIGH PRAISE
For Freeman p. Lane From the Governor
of Minnesota


County Attorney c. p. Connolly re-
ceived a telegram yesterday from Gov
ernor Lind of Minnesota which con-
vinces him that the Minneapolis attor-
ney, Freeman p. Lane, who was ar
rested Friday charged with extorting
money from certain local liquor deal
ers, is all he represented himself to be
and that there is no ground for a case
against him. When Mr.. Lane was ar
rested he asked Mr.. Connolly to tele-
graph the governor of Minnesota re-
garding him. A message was sent in
which nothing was said relative to the
trouble Mr.. Lane was in, but merely
inquired concerning him. Yesterday
Mr. Connolly received this reply:
st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. &C. p. Con-
molly, County Attorney, Butte, Mont
/ have been requested to make a state
ment to you relative to Hon. Freeman
p. Lane. have known Mr. Lane many
years professionally and personally. He
is a thorough lawyer, a successful and
brilliant advocate, an indomitable
worker with great tact and experience
in dealing with men, and withal a gen.
tleman."
In all probability the case against Mr..
Lane will be dismissed.

elimination of a Quarrel About Business
Matters,


A stabbing ARRAY occurred in a sa-
loon in East Butte at an early hour
yesterday morning. in which Lewis
Huff was cut by Frank Bajuk as the
elimination of a quarrel about a bust
ness matter. Huff's injury is a flesh
wound in the side, which is not regard

Huff, brother of the injured man,
purchased a piece of real estate some
time ago. He was to pay for the prop
erty in installments and had paid $780,

PAYS A LARGE LICENSE FEE.
King of Mexican Gamblers Pays $1,000 a
Day for His Privileges.


Day for His Privileges.
From the New York World.
Mexico has a Monaco which outdoes
the sensational marvels of Monte Car
10. This gambling palace is situated in
the center of the City of Mexico, at
Gante street. Its proprietor and
manager, Don Felipe Martel, is not
only self made prince, but phenom-
email character.
of gamblers, but a devout churchman
and the chief hacker of the municipal
treasurer. Mexico City Is almost de-
pendent upon this one citizen.
Martel was a rich man before the
Mexican government decided to abolish
gambling houses. Many influential
Mexicans objected so seriously to the
absolute stopping of their favorte pas
time that the authorities thought they
would achieve a clever compromise by
demanding from every gambling resort
a daily license tax of $1,000. No one
supposed that the gambling spirit would
be strong enough to rise above this
obstacle. This proved to be the case
and one by one the gambling houses
closed their doors.
When the field was clear Don Felipe
Martel approached the authorities with
$1,000 in cash and demanded a day.
license. In a few hours his place was
thronged. At a single stroke he had
won the patronage of Mexico and his
doors have never been closed since.
The daily outlay of 81 900 is not missed
from the daily revenue of thousands.
1t is not remarkable that Don Felipe's
personal fortune should have reached
50, O00, 600 in spite of his constant lavish
expenditure. His chief esta blishment is
as glitteringly appointed as a palace.
Liveried attendants minister to guests
and refreshments and cigars are served
at the hosts expense Mexicans find
no amusement more alluring than a
visit to Gante street.
Don Felipes strong religious tenden-
cies are so well known that nobody was
surprised when he built recently in the
village of San Angel church that cost
more than $4,000. The poor people of
the vicinity and many of the rich as
well have come to regard him as a sort
of fairy prince. His own style of living
encourages this belief. The Martel
mansion in the City of Mexico is a mag
nificent affair, constantly filled with
guests. A curious feature Is that it con-
tains 40 windows-the number of cards
in the Mexican deck

A SENSATIONAL Scene
Attorney Dygert Tries to Talk
With Judge Clancy.
BUT HE WAS CHOKED OFF
The Judge Made Reflections Upon ths
Character of Billy Woods, the Re-
ceiver OF the Turkish Con-
gress Of Wonders

Ihere was an exciting and a rather
sensational scene of about a minutes
duration in Judge Clancy's court yes
terday morning. A motion to discharge
the receiver in the case of Charles
Dockman against Jean De Kreko and
others, the Turkish congress of Won
ders case, had been set for hearing A
week ago Judge Clancy made an order
that the plaintiff give bond to secure
the costs in the case, the bond to be
filed within three days, a failure to do
so being cause for a dismissal of the
action. Upon that the motion to dis
charge the receiver also depended, and
when the court called the matter up
yesterday George A. Clark, attorney
for the defendants, informed the court
that the cost bond had not been filed,
Whereupon an order was made dis
charging the receiver and dismissing
the case
Il want to say to the attorneys at
this time that in future matters of this
kind l want to see the man who is to
be appointed receiver before am asked
to appoint him" said the court. Il
have learned that this man in this case
was not the right kind of a man aud
was not suitable. All kinds of things
have been said about him."
George w. Dygert, one of the attor-
neys for the plaintiff, had been occupy
ing seat in the back part of the court
room, and when the judge made the
remarks which reflected on the receiver
Billy Woods, and also might have been
taken to reflect somewhat on the at
torney, his face flushed and he jumped
from his seat and with rapid strides ap-
preached the judges bench.
IF the court will pardon me-" he
said, trying to appear calm, Il am one
one of the attorneys in the case"
Yes, and you are the man that did
it, said the court, smiling.
When you were asked to appoint the
receiver l brought the man to you in
your chambers and you saw him and
had an opportunity to talk with him."
Mr.. Dygert was not smiling and the
court also had ceased to do SO.
But l didn't know anything about
him. replied the judge somewhat loud
ly, and added something about "a
scamp"
THE receiver was under a bond and
perfectly responsible. for his acts" said
Mr. Dygert, more loudly still.
That's ALL" yelled the court; that's
ALL"
Il wish to say further" continued Mr..
That's ALL" said the court, inter-
rupting.
Il want to say"
sit down there; sit down or Til fine
you" exclaimed the judge, half rising
out of his chair and shaking his index
finger at the young attorney.
Mr.. Dygert turned about and took
seat muttering something which the
judge did not catch, and q moment
later left the court room, while the
judge resumed the call of his morning
calendar
Although the plaintiffs attorney took
no exception to the courts order dis
missing the case, a notice of an appeal
to the supreme court was filed in court
later in the day by Dockman's attorney,
