by the unprecedented multiplication
OF new dwellings In those sections OF

seems safe to say that such houses
have at least doubled during the last
two years. The larger number are
modest cottages. but n good proper
ton are fine residences. In Septem-
her, 1895. the city population was
20. 900. II now probably reaches to,-
900. A large number of fine business

they believe II would then attract .

Such an arrangement would siso
afford the club an opportunity To
take pictures Of the contest. which
would mean n financial item OF na
small importance TO the organiza-
ton. A club capable of pulling on
such an important fight before this

authorities were also In favor of
having such a big event decided in
the afternoon or morning because
better police arrangements could
be made and II would eliminate the
swearing in Of a score of deputies
which would be necessary under oth-
er conditions.
The articles of agreement signed

the necessary arrangements are all

The $4,000 offered by the West
chester Club Is said to be the clubs
limit and that IL will not raise tho
bid under any circumstances. IL
may be that the Horton law will
prevent the taking OF pictures ot
boxing matches in this state. The
law requires that the building In
which boxing bouts. are decided
must be closed one. To make q

cording to a strict Interpretation OF

rect violation. However, there Is one
way to overcome this obstacle. by
placing n glass roof over the arena.
which would permit the sun TO shine

FRESHMAN FOR CHIEF.
Will Succeed Black Hawk of the

Chicago, Sept. Thomas R. Roddy.
an Irishman of this city, will succeed
Black Hawk as chief of the Winnebago
tribe of Indians. The old chieftain
died a few days ago at the advanced

realizing his approaching end he asked
the tribe to name his successor and in
dicated as his choice ROddy, who had
been born among the Winnebagoes.

language and that of the neighboring
Chippewas and Pottawatomies. There
was general consent to the succession
going to the white man who had been
the constant friend of the tribesmen
during his mature years, but Green
Cloud and a few of his factionists who
opposed the selection and failed to turn
their tribesmen from their intention Sc
cured a delay of the matter under the
specious plea that the old Indian who
for more than a mans ordinary span
of life had ruled over the tribe ought
not to be permitted to abdicate. Black
Hawks request was not acted upon
by the council until after his death last
week, when the council registered his
desire by declaring in favor of Roddy.
The new chief whose name will be
white Buffalo, lis 40 years old. He is
the son of an Irish trader who settled
among the Wisconsin Indians at Black
River half a century ago and by honest
methods won the esteem OF his red
faced customers. His boy grew up with
the youngsters in the Indian village
and acquired the habits and WOodcraft
of his aboriginal associates. His edu-
cation in later years in the institutions
of learning for white boys never turned
his thoughts away from his native
companions. The tribe over which he
viii preside is a fair sample of the civ
ilized Indian and numbers 1900 per-
sons. 1t maintains a sort of tribal form
of government sufficient to emphasize
its native character.

Yes, sir, it is he replied I made
