contends that he did not lose the fight
that all he lost was the decision. He

ter the fight, in his dressing room ad-
mitted doing SO. and aid he could
not be blamed. In the third round
he butted me with his head in the left
eye. where he had several times landed
in the previous round. This foul had
the effect of closing the eye. which
greatly handicapped me for the remain
der Of the fight.
"Langdon says both of Oblesby's hands
were broken at the of the contest.
This is a mistake, to put it mildly. A
small bone of the thumb Of his left hand
was broken. l have this from the ply
stefan who attended Oglesby and set the

it.
"Langdon also says Oglesby was fresh

The department has practically de-

these Indians. About 5000 heifers will
be distributed among the Indians his

The fact that the Indians are taking
advantage OF their opportunities Is evil
dence that they are progressing. There
are no blanket Indians on the Black
feet reservation, all of the indians
wearing clothes as white men do. So
as far as the Blackeet reservation Is
concerned, the Red Mans burden is be-
ing properly shouldered by the Indian
himself and 1t will not be a great many
years until they are practically self

Heinze Wants to Search For.
Quartz Vein
in WASHINGTON PLACER
An Affidavit That Ground Was I'm
Occupied on December 80
To Sink Three Shafts.

F. Augustus Heinze, George Gemne
and the Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany combined have petitioned the dis
tr.ct court to vacate the order restrain
ing them from searching for a vein OF
quartz in what is known as the Wash
lngton placer claim at Meaderville. The
title of the suit IN which the order wal
made is Lyman A. Harley and the Butte
& Boston Mining company against the
petitioners. The request to vacate is
t1anked by an affidavit made by George
Gemmel. In the document Gemlllel
alleges that when ne and the other de-
fendants located the ground on the Soth
OF December, the claim was unoccupled
and belonged to tile government; that
it is on the strike of the great vein sys-
tenn Of that district, and their intention
is to explore il and locate the quartz
veins. III proposition was, he says,
to sink three shafts; that the defendants
remained in possession of the property
until January 5, when the plaintiffs Sc
cured an order from the court restrain
ing them from further alleged trespass,
the plaintiffs claiming the ground as
their own.
that Harley and the Butte & Boston
were not in possession Of the ground
and that their claim to it is fraudulent
because it is based upon a placer loca-
ton when in fact there is no placer III
it. He further alleges that the proofs
maintaining the discovery of gold de-
posts that were submitted by the prede-
cessors in interest of the plaintiffs were
false and fraudulent; that If the ground
were placer it would belong to the es.
tate of Patrick A. Largey by reason OF
a location made in 1896, at which time
the plaintiffs were in default in annual
representation work.
Gemnel also says he has entered a
protest against the plaintiffs appltca-
ton for a placer patent, but on account
of the restraining order he has not been
able to complete his lode location and
the time for doing it will expire on April
The order to how cause was set Tor
