DAMAGES FOR SELLING LIQUOR.

A New York woman protested, orally
and in writing, against the sale of any
more liquor to her husband by certain
saloon keeper, especially when the man
was already under its influence. In spite
of this the saloon keeper kept on selling,
supplying the husband with all asked
for, no matter how drunk he might be at
the time Now the women has brought
suit in the supreme court against the sa-
loon keeper for damages. The case is re-
garded as one of special interest from a
legal point of view, as very few such
cases have been decided in New York
city, and none at all with the special fea-
lures of this case. Before beginning the
action the woman applied to the excise
commission in Albany for information
as to the course to pursue in the matter.
She was informed that she had two
remedies, namely: She could either have
the saloon keepers license cancelled or
she could bring suit for damages, She
choose the latter course and brought suit
for $4,000 damages. 1t is the opinion OF
many good lawyers that she will win
the suit.

it was Mes round.

it was Mes round.
 8th ROUND. Nc lands his right and left on the Kids face, follows it up with light tap aud once more catches the Kid in the same place. Then they become cautious and do no effective work for somo time. The Kid breaks the monotony by punching Me in the face and Nc says good" Then they fiddled around to the end of the round and honors wore about even.
 9th ROUND. Me. spatted Kids face and both exchanged blows of all kinds in rapid succession. Nc. gets a punch that sends him onto the ropes. Me. lands on the Kids body and the Kid gives him one better and lands heavily ou Mes face and body. It was nip and tuck, probably little in tho Kids favor.
 10th ROUND. The Kid stBrts things rolling with a good body blow on Me, and follows it with one on the head and another on the face, and then rush es his big antagonist into the Kids cor ner. They spar for an opening. The Kid gets it and lets fly on Mes head and body. Me looked tired and the round ended decidedly in favor of the Kid.
 llth ROUND. Me led the fighting and both came up looking well. Mo landed on Kids face. The Kid gave him as good as he sent. Again they ex- changed blows. The Kid landed on Mes face. It was give and take when time was called, after which referee Fletcher stepped to the center of the ring and said that Me had hit the Kid after time was called and he gave the decision to the Kid on a foul.
 Of course the crowd was disappoint- ed, but the decision of the referee is, we understand, admitted by Nc to be correct.
 The men looked well after the com- test and each received congratulations from his friends.
 It was a friendly contest, the two men are the best of friends and neither one suffered any harm.

A GLOVE CONTEST TOURNAMENT. C. Mclaughlin, of TreadweII and Kid Gallagher, of Juneau Meet
 With Gloves.
THE KID WINS ON A FOUL.

Gallagher and Mclaughlin came over from Juneau on the 4:45 boat. There were also many others that came on the same boat to witness the contest. The 9:15 ferry from Juneau was crowd ed and not a few bright women with them to see the fun, for of late years it is considered all right for ladies to at tend glove contests. Ofcourse Tread we'll, the Mexican, Ready Bullian aud Seven Hundred each sent large dele gation and by 10 o'clock it was pretty lively around town.
 The Standard was the principal ren- dezvous for the crowd, but they kept coming and going between that place and the Douglas, where the exhibition was to take place.
 Tickets were in good demand at S2.5O each, and a little after half past ten ticket holders commenced filling up the chairs and benches around the ring.
 c. Mclaughlin, one of the contest ants, is a native of Florida, thirty-tive years of age, five feet ten inches tall, and weighs 16O pounds. He has been in Alaska for the last seven or eight months and until few days ago was employed at the Ready Bullion as an electrician. He came from Tacoma to Treadwell, and expects to soon leave this place for either Atlin or Porcu- pine. He never engaged in d prize fight or even d public contest with gloves, except in the Athletic clubs and gymnasiums in his native state. He is pleasant appearing fellow, and from the talk the News man had with him we should say he is man of edu- cation and refinement. He has known his opponent for about two weeks and there is no bad blood between them. Mclaughlin had for his seconds, Smith, Broughton and Hall, who are also from Tacoma and personal friends of his.
 Kid Gallagher, the other principal, is twenty-seven years of age and was born at Nortonville, California. He has been in Alaska for the past fifteen months and has put in his time mining and prospecting. He is five feet nine and one-half inches high and weighs but 145 pounds, being one.half inch shorter and fifteen pounds lighter than his adversary. The Kid has had con siderable experience in the ring and he has been, with only slight exceptions, dead winner. In all he has won thir- ty-seven contests, had three draws and suffered one defeat, which was in 1896. He was formerly sparring partner of Dol Hawkins, who was hard man to beat in his class. The Kid, it will be remembered, defeated Charley John-

son at AnaCOnda, Mont, in lS93, Ed. Burke at Butte in 1893, and Denver Cyclone at Phillipsburg, in the same state in 1891. His last contest was at Wallace, Idaho, with Dick Carroll, which resulted in draw, after fifteen rounds, on account of his breaking some of the bones in his hand.
 He was seconded by Jimmie Kelly, Tim Conley and Theodore Carson.
 THE RING
 was eighteen feet square, roped, and was in the back part of the large room occupied by the Douglas Music Hall at the corner of News avenue and First street.
 At 10:45 the Kid made his appearance in the hall with his overcoat on and closely buttoned up. The crowd gave him hearty greeting by cIapping of hands.
 WHILE WAITING
 the Standard Orchestra dispensed some music that was very agreeable to the large crowd that was seated and stand ing around the ring. For a change one of the Standard girls gave a skirt dance that pleased the audience very much. The dancing was of the best while the kicking was tout of sight" The crowd clapped their hands and Cheered in such an enthusiastic manner that it left no doubt of the appreciation of this part of the entertainment.
 At 11:40 the master of ceremonies announced that bout would take place between the Dago Kid and John ny Smith. The Kid smiled while he sat in his chair.
 1st ROUND. Smith led with a smart blow on the Dago's face and one on his head, and gets one in return. Dago backs off and gets several in the face. Smith pushes the fighting and shoves the Dago to the rope with a rush. Dago comes back with a stag geriug blow on Smiths face. Dago's eyes show punishment. Round closes with honors pretty even.
 2nd ROUND. Kid gets a good blow in on Smiths face and Smith lands lightly with his left. Kid, bracing up, lands on Smiths face, which gets red, Round closes about even.
 3rd ROUND. The boys jumped in- to the center of the ring and com menced begging away in great shape. It was a hot number. They clinched but on command broke away. Then stood up and were more cautious and neither made a good hit until round closed with honors even.
 4th ROUND. Smith gave tho Dago q tap on the right cheek end following

up the blow rushed the Dago onto the ropes in his own corner. Smith reach ed for the Dago's neck and made a good landing. Smith made another pass with his right, but missed and fell down. Smith landed several blows on the Dago's face and the round ended with honors even and Referee Johnny Clark decided it a draw, which was q very just decission.
 At the close of the contest between the Kid and Smith some more skirt dancing followed which was equally as good as the first.
 It was 12:15 when Kid Gallagher and Mclaughlin took seats in the ring. Gallagher had won the toss for cor ners and took the one most distant from the door. Jack Fletcher was cho- sen referee and each contestant named a time-keeper.
 "Shake hands," said referee Fletcher and the two fellows advanced to the center of the ring and obeyed the or der
 Ist ROUND. Time was called and the first part of the round was hot number. Both men got in their work very rapidly. The Kid would tap Mo. on the face and Nc. would return the compliment. Both men landed good blows on the face and body. One of the latter near the end of the round surprised Nc. very much. HonorS about even.
 2nd ROUND. Nc lands with his right on the Kids face, He tries to re- peat but falls short. Again he lands on the Kid and the Kid went down on the floor and Me laughed. Nc landed hard on the Kids head and for a while just pounded him on the head aud he seemed to enjoy it. They clinched and the Kid went down on the ropes. This round was notorious for clinches and the referee had trouble in keeping them apart. The round ended with about an even show down, little in favor of Mo if there was any difference

cessions from the government exempt

allowing its machinery and materials to

Government is ready and willing to give
such enterprises any reasonable en-
couragement. The Mexicans are more
friendly to Americans than to the people
of any other country. During the
Spanish-American war their sympathies
were entirely with the Americans. So
friendly were they to the American

Potato Growers Think They are
Held up by Commission Men.

Held up by Commission Men.
From the Fort Smith Elevator
Capt r. g. Caldwell, one of our
most extensive and successful potato
growers, told us Tuesday that he had
just received 80. S5 as the result of one
car load OF potatoes he shipped to a
Northern market a couple of weeks ago.
This is what he got after commissions,
etc. had been deducted. What he
paid out in gathering, shipping etc.
is not included in this transaction, but
altogether the car load will make about
$50 hole in his pocket.
Mr.. Caldwell has grown potatoes for
several years He knows how to raise
a crop, how to get it out, and how to
ship it. He is clearly of the opinion
that the growers of this section must
organize thoroughly if they wish to
protect themselves from the robberies of
the buyers and commission men, and
thinks the organization should embrace
every grower, no matter what his
capacity for production. We believe
he is on the right track. 1t is true that
some of the stock shipped from Fort
Smith this season was in bad shape, but
most of it was as good as ever went on
the market. Strange to say, too, the
potatoes that brought the best prices
were in the poorest condition when
shipped
OF course, there must be due allow
ance for the various conditions that pre-
vail during the shipping season, but
there is no excuse for the robberies that
We're perpetrated during the season just
closed and we believed thorough organi-
cation on the part of the growers will
prevent repetition OF what has oc-
cured this season.
The same line of reasoning as Mr.
Caldwell's, we believe, should be APP
piled to the strawberry business of the
past two seasons. Just as stated in the
above article, it was in several cases
that came under our personal observa-
ton, that berries which had been re-
jected at the sheds as unnt for shipment,
and then by the growers shipped by ex
press. brought better prices than choice
stock shipped at the same time. More
thorough organization of the growers is
yet necessary and then let the associa
tions send men to the principal points of
consignment to see in what condition
the products arrive and we believe it
will be money in their pockets even if
they have to pay competent men good
salary.
As regards strawberries, personal
observation of a number of the Eastern
markets proved them selling at very
fair prices. The lowest we saw very
soft and inferior berries retailing at was
Sc per quart while good berries brought
from 10c TO 15c per quart. The quality
Of berries grown this year through
Central New York was very much in
ferior to the Crawford county product
Of last spring partly, no doubt. caused
by very dry westher-snd yet there
seemed to be no glut of them.
New potatoes at the time of Mr..
Caldwell says they returned him 80. So
for car load. were retailing in the
New York market at from 25c to SOC a
peck This certainly looks as though
somebody was doing some underhanded
work.
As long as our growers put the club
in the hands Of the commission men
they should not be astonished If they
are struck with it..

An exchange has discovered new
kind of trust. 1t says: AFTER all,
the biggest trust is the country news
paper. It trusts almost everybody and
for that reason the people like it. 1t is
the only trust on earth that is worked
to the limit and the only trust where
the proprietor gets the smallest share
of the dividends. Every city in the
country has branch Office of this trust,
and the trusting soul that goes down in
his pocket for the dust to keep his trust
going is abused like pirate if he even
hints that his paper needs something
besides air to keep his trust inflated. -

Comstock Bros Warehouse
Burned.

Comstock Bros. met with severe
loss last week, Thursday morning, by
the destruction by fire of their large
warehouse at Uniontown. The build
ing among other valuable contents con-
tained a large amount of cured meat,
which made it impossible to control the
flames. which for a time threatened ad-
joining buildings. But a small amount
of insurance was carried. Inc endiarism
is suspected as the cause of the fire.
