well-known sporting man, is going TO
make a strenuous effort to have the pro-
posed Fitzsimmons-JeffIi fight pulled of
in this city, and has wired offer of
s25 900 for the contest. A reply was re-
ceived from Dave Holland. of New York,
stating that $500 deposit was necessary
to secure consideration OF the offer. DON

was forwarded yesterday to Holland. and
that he is very hopeful Of securing the
match.
One OF the last acts of the legislature
which adjourned at Helena on Thursday
last was to pass what is known as the
Clifford prizefighting bill. The measure
has as yet not been acted upon By the
governor. and. while determined effort
will be made TO secure its veto, it is quite
generally believed he will allow il to be-
come law. The bill permits twenty-round
contests before any legally authorized ath-
letic club, provided the contestants shall
have been examined by a doctor and pro-
nounced physically sound. The bill is
closely patterned after the Horton law OF
New York. and it is believed that under
its provisions any Of the large events eX-
cept finish fights can be pulled of in this

A LONG, LONESOME JOURNEY.
The Remains of MIR. Crawford En-
Route 10 Texas.


During a heavy downpour of rain the
remains of John Walter Crawford, the late
member of Congress from the Fourth
Texas district, left Washington about IL
o'clock last night en- route TO Sulphur
Springs. Texas, via the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway.
A small escort OF Senator's Representa-
tives and friends accompanied the body.
Owing TO the adjournment of Congress
yesterday and the long distance to Sui
phuT Springs, Texas, where the body of
the late Congressman Will be inferred.
some Of the members chosen to represent
the Senate and House were unable to ac-
company the party. Those who did so
were Representatives Burke, Cooper, Lam
ham. and DeGraffenreid. all of Texas, and
Representative Maddox Of Georgia. Ben
jamin f. Russell. Sergeant t-at-Arms Of the
House, and n. J. Hawk and Frank Hell
denry, assistants, were at the station as
members Of the funeral party. bat the
former did not accompany the remains to
Texas.
Just prior to the departure of the train
8. p. Garden, Captain of the Capitol PO-
lice; Lieut. J. G. Rodgers and six privates
of the same organization, arranged them
selves as guards around the oak casket
and the funeral oortege moved slowly to-
ward the farther end of the train shed,
where special coach was waiting. In the
coach were the four children Of the dead
Congressman, the eldest, a boy. eleven
years old. and the youngest. n girl, only
two years old. Mrs. DeGraffenreid ac-
oompanisd the funeral party and assumed
charge of the children. The funeral coach
was attached 10 the Chesapeake and Ohio
express which left at 11:l0 o'clock. The
train will travel by way OF Memphis, and
will reach Sulphur Springs Tuesday morn
ing.
A telegram was received by Sergeant-at-
Arms Russell from the mayor of sulphur
Springs, last evening. informing him that
arrangements had been made for the
funeral at o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Senator Chiffon and Mrs. Chiffon left
Washington for their home in Texas last
night. They Travelled apart from the coach
bearing the body. but Senator Chiffon was
considered a member of the funeral party.
pathetic fact in connection with the
death of Mr. Crawford is that his
four children are left practically without
support and without relatives. Congress
has appropriated $1,000 for the care Of the
children Mr.. Crawford was not wealthy.
He has home at Sulphur Springs, but it
is said that he has no relatives in Texas,
The children were well known and liked
in Congressional circles. and steps have
already been taken by several influential
Senators and Representatives that will
probably lead to the adoption of the chill
dren by the colleagues of the dead Texan.

''The night passed thus. When day
dawned, still held the pick, and my
nerves had somewhat recovered their nor

'How did I set about it? struck the
pick by backward blow Of my right

by the cactus, caught hold Of the rock

that the fact that my face was turned
