Jefferies -Sharkey
Fiuht.
FiQht.

Those magnificent brutes Jefferics and
Sharkey struggled through twenty-five
rounds of mutual mauling last night in
an endeavor to determine which was the
greater brute and the question is still un-
decided. The dispatches say that both
men were strong at the close. MIR. Jet-
ferries was given the decision, presuma-
bly, on points. He cut open two or three
of MIR. Sharkey's eyes with his fists and
Mr.. Sharkcy split Mr.. Jeffcries' nose, and
while it would seem that honors were
even with regard to the extent of the
mutilation to which each subjected the
other. yet it is possible that cut eyes
count more on the official score card
than a split nose, and that this is what
earned Mr.. Jcfferies the decision. The
contest was left in a measure unfinished
because the laws of the state of New
York do not permit finish fighting. Fin
ish fighting would be brutal, while be-
tween two such playful gentlemen as
Jefferies and Sharkey there a be no
approach to brutality in a twenty-five
round fight.

The Burnt Creek Massacre.

Editor Joe Taylor of Washburn, the
frontier historian, has the following in
the Washburn Leader:
Those who have seen the neat pamph-
let describing the Washburn lands will
notice among the list Of beautiful en-
cravings that of Oscar Wards farm.
The picture shows a deep coulee lined
with trees running up from the Oscar
Ward residence. 1t was in this coulee
on the fateful 10th day of August, 1863,
that a large camp ofhostile Santees were
resting from pursuit by soldiers of Gen.
Sibley who had driven them from their
former home in western Minnesota after
the massacre of white settlers the year
previous. In sordid gloom the warriors
Law stretched in the shade of the trees
that lined the coulee curves then-trees
which we see in the picture. The Mis-
souri's waters laved the cut bank within
three hundred yards of where the Ward
shute some Indian women were washing
and bathing, and perched out on a log
above a pile of drift sat an old and de-
crepit Indian fishing and thinking. Just
then the group sighted a large skiff or
fiat boat gliding smoothly along near the
bank above stream. In the boat were
seventeen miners, one woman and one
child-all returningto their former homes
from the Montana gold fields. In their
belts and bored in the staunchions of the
boat was over 100000 in gold. The In
dian story is all we have to 60 on for
what followed. Red Blanket, IN intelli-
gent Santee half breed woman who not
not only witnessed but participated in
the whole affair told her story to the
author of Frontier and Indian Life over
thirty years ago, and her statement is tc
be found in that book under the caption
"Massacre on Burnt Creek Bar" Suffice
it to say that the boat crew were all kill.
ed, and the trees back in the coulee
were the receptacle for the dead warriors
who had fallen in the fight.

Hamilton, a former member of the James
town company, who was discharged in
Manila, and re-enlisted, deserted a short

will, it is understood, be shot. Hamilton
received nearly $500 bounty for ~re-enlist-

easy matter afterwards.
Hamilton was employed for some time
in a butcher shop in Jamestown before
enlisting with Co. H. He has no re-
%latives in this city or in the state, SO far
as is known, and his circle of acquaint-

BRYAN is making comparisons
between the, Republican party of
the past and of the present, to
the disadvantage of the lat
ter, Bryan, however, would
have been more hostile to the Re.
publican party of 40 years ago
than he is to the one which he is
opposing now: Lincoln's call for
troops after the capture of Fort
Sumter by the confederates Bryan
would have condemned as un-
warranted under the constitution.
The campaign to restore the ma
tional authority in Virginia, So nth
Carolina, Tennessee and the rest
of the states which went through
the form of receding from the
union he would have denounced
as Imperialism, and he would have
shrieked louder against Lincoln
than he has yet done against Nc
Kinley. If Bryan had been as old
during the war of secession as he
is now he would have passed the
greater part of those four years
either in some northern military
prison or inside the confederate
lines. AS an emphatic St. Louis
exchange says "he would have
been a copperhead, a doughface
and a reviler Of his country then
as he is now.-Grand Forks Her
