IL QUICK TINE.
Cans Proved Easy for
McGovern.
BalLimOre Man Knocked Out in
Second Round.
Put Up a Very Poor
Fight Indeed.
His Seconds Claim That He Was
0yertrained.

Chicago, december 13.-Terry McGov-
ern is now tas undisputsd lightweight
champion OF the world lie Knocked out
jos Cans Of Baltimore tonight ait sr two
minutes and FIVE seconds OF fighting, in
the second round.
Cans nut up a very poor exhibition and
was never in 1t at any stage of the game.
McGovern ttHtsd rushing him at the
sound of the gong and never let up un-
til Cans was oountsd out lie never de-
livered an effective blow during the light
and for a man OF his reputation he made
a fight which will gain him no friends
among lovers OF true sport in the ring.
George Siler, the veteran referee, who
presided In the ring, said altar Cans
had been tSken to his corner:
"Gans put MP very poor hight That's
all have to say
MoGovern put up a clean, fast light
from start to finish and is entitled TO all
the credit Of victory lie fought hard
and fast, his blows went straight TO the
mark and II the fight is to be ctied down
at all 1t Is on account OF the miserable
showing made by Cans. During the
first round he never attempted to mix It,.
He never made AN effort to use his left
counter for which he is SO famous and
did nothing but back away with scared
look on his face. In the second round he
attempted to fight little at the opening,
but soon resorted to his backing tactics,
attempting no return blows ana making
no effort to check the hot ones which Mo-
Govern sent In on his mouth and face.
AS he rolled down on the floor lime and
again after every rush. hs looked around
with a helpless expression, as though ne
had no idea whether it was part of the
proceedings for him TO rise or remain
where he was. On the last knock-down
he was on his hack for six seconds,
rolled over on his face. rose to his eft
knee aud remained in that position un-
til Silsr tapped him on the shoulder tell
ing him that the fight was over and that
he was loser. lie was lifted and was
able to walk In feebls manner to his
corner.
AS MoGoyern, smiling and waving his
hand, turned toward his corner, he was
picked up in the arms OF mis- manager
and seconds and carried bodily to hts
chair. In an instant the ring was
thronged with cheering Modovern ad-
hersnts, who gathered around the Brook.
lyD's boys corner and cheere1 him again

MoGovern, painting little from his ex-
ertions. but with no marks Of any kind,
started to put on his clothes.
"He onlv hit me once" said MoGov-
ern, land that was In the first minute Of
the first round. He poked his left into
my mouth good and hard, but knew
l had him on the next exchange"
Cans had no excuse 60 offer for his
quick defeat. His seconds, however, said
hs was ovsrtrained and that his stomach
had been bad all day.
After the hight, which was under strict
Queensbury rulss, there were many Wig
orous expressions of dissatisfaction
among the crowd, it being openly assert
eu by many that Cans made deliberate
fake of his fight.

MATTERS OF INTEREST.
Regarding Politics and Affairs OF
State.

Gen. L. f. Hubbard. who is the
member of the Republican national
committee for Minnesota, attended
the recent meeting of the committee
and spent some time with leaders
in national politics in Washington
and the East. On his return to
Minnesota Gen. Hubbard, whom all
know as most conservative and
far-seeing man, was thoroughly sat
SIZED with the political out look.
In an interview, which is very
significant, coming as it does from
one so thoroughly informed, he says
that the committee were most hope
full in their view Of the political sit
uation and all without exception
favored the denomination of Pres
ident Mckinley. 1t isa rare occur
ence in the history of any party
that all its national representatives
have been unanimous for the
nomination or denomination of any
one man so long before the beginn-
ing of the campaign and this, says
Gen. Hubbard, can be attributed
only to the unanimous endorsement
by the thinking people OF the
country, Of the policy pursued by
Mckinley's administration. Pro-
tective tariff and the assurance
of sound money have set the wheels
ofindustry and commerce in motion
and brough untold prosperity to the
country which under the previous
Democratic administration was sui
fering from stagnation and inactiv.

that such notice will not be valid be-
cause the state will have no right to
make the sale except at the time
specified in the law. It is also
claimed that the sale cannot be post
poned, there being no provision for
a postponement.
There is another point urged
against the validity Of the act. It's
said to extinguish the lien of the
city for any assessment which may
have been levied The state has
the paramount lien for taxes, and if
the state acquires the absolute title
to the land and then sells it the sale
will, it is claimed, wipe out any sub
sequent lien. This would work, it
is said, a great hardship against
large number of holders of city GER
tifcates.
It IS claimed that an oversight in
the act giving owners a right to re-
deem from ordinary tax sales makes
it impossible for the state to obtain
absolute tit to any property sold
for taxes, consequently it cannot
make an absolute sale. The uphold
ers of the law claim that this title
can be obtained if the law is con
strued to provide for a foreclosure
of the state S lien for taxes This is
answered by the argument that no
lien can be foreclosed without due
process of law, which this proceed
ing is.not.
There are about 500 descriptions in
Redwood county which would have
to be sold. in case the 1899 law is
held legal, but nearly all of the de-
scriptions are in the municipalities,
being town lots. and thus making
the acreage very small. County Of
ticials are of the opinion that the
1899 law is no good, for the reason
that it is impossible to give the 60
days notice between the time CT
taking Judgment and the time fixed
for the sale.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1900-01-10
BACK TAXES.
Law Providing for May Sale Be.
lieved to be IIleudl.

An attempt will be made bv some
people interested in tax certificates
and tax titles to upset the chapter
of the General Laws of 1899 provid-
ing for an absolute sale of property
on which taxes Of. or prior to, 1897
are delinquent. Persons dealing in
tax titles are naturally opposed to
the proposed sale.
This chapter provides that the
land on which taxes are due for
1897, or any prior year, shall be
sold by the county auditor at a sale
to be, held Immediately following the
regular delinquent tax sale in May.
Absolute title to the land is to be
given buyers. The law was passed,
its title says. to en- 'orce the pay
ment of delinquent taxes. The
theory was that people will pay
their taxes before this sale rather
than run the risk of losing their pro
perty.
The grounds on which this fight
will be made appear to be technical,
but a number of tax lawyers have
held that they are fatal The law
provides that the proceedings be-
fore the sale shall be the same as re-
quired in ordinary tax sales, and
that the listof such delinquent taxes
shall be made out at the same time
as the current list. Also, that each
owner and occupant shall receive at
least sixty days notice Of the sale.
Under the law aud the practice OF
the county Offices. it is impossible
for Judgment, which must precede
a sale. to be secured before March
81 The sale will occur not later
than May TO- It is therefore i'm
possible to give sixty days notice
after the judgment and before the
sale.
| It is the intention of the county
officials to give more than sixty
days notice before this sale, regard
less Of the date of the judgment.
Those who are fighting the sale claim
