1 suppose it's all part of the play, but
jeff doesn't show much judgment # it's
his own idea. All through the p! IS
the girl that has to force the fig =
or rather the love-making; and she never
gets a single return game till the finish.
A LAGGARD LOVER.
Almost as soon as Jeff appears on that
oYerworked horse she starts in, with
both hands, feinting for the mouth. He
ducks and gets back out of reach, but
she's after him in second and tries to
rush into clinch. He blocks without
countering, and she puts it all over him
His footwork in getting out of danger
is clever all right; and he gets the best
of every miX-up, but she has him going
before the end of the first act and tile
curtain is the only thing that saves him.
In the love scenes she does all the lead
ing. Jeff puts up a good defense, but
he isn't in her class. -
And so on till the fourth rounds At
the finish she gets afgoed sidehoIdS and
then a strange lock on him and wins the
kiss after all.
If I'd been in that ring instead OF
Jeff I couldn't have lasted against her
half an act.
And now let's get back to the play.
It's an even money shot, all right, even
If it isn't q bonanza. It's got loads Of
scrapping in IT. and villainy to burn.
Then there's a whole blue stack of
''Stand back jim Bludso" and "Rags-are-
royal-raiment' sentiments, that set the
gallery as wild as the 50 ticket holders
when Charley White reaches Seven
eight-nine."
There's a villain who puts MP pretty

twice. But Jeff's weight and reacn and
staying powers are too much ior him in
a long fight
Not that the villain wasn't a willing
performer, BUT he was disposed tt
crowd and foul. and that got him into
trouble on the stretch. He made a dandy
start, but got pocketed at the three quar-
tiers and finished with the also rams
He wasn't as pretty as he had once
been by the time jeff got back at him.
but he knew lot more.
JEFF AS SHERIFF.
Jeff plays the part of Silent Sam King.
sheriff of Three Forks county, Montana.
He is an elegant sheriff, and can fire
six shooters and sentiments at the same
time, and make the bell ring six shets
out of five.
He's in love with a peach OF a feather
weight girl, but he's a farmer at love

Jeff doesn't even get a chance to put
on fighting togs. He's wearing a gray

whole outfit sails into him.

gong sounded. At first sight 1t looked
like three-to-one shot for the Villains

But Jeffs as handy in a six-foot car
as he is In q twenty-foot ring.
There was no "stand-off'' sparring
Before the ballon had even started off
from old terra frma there was some
thing doing.
There would be with that mixed four

like putting an armful of angry cats In

FIRE PROOF BUILDINGS.

Attorney Jabez Belford appeared be-
fore the Council as the representative
of Mrs. Scott. the owner of the Clay
City hotel. and objected to the con-
struction of frame building now in
the process of erection in the rear of
R. E. Races store on Front street. The
lot is owned by Mrs. Scott, but it is
held under lease by Mr.. Race. An or
dinance passed several years ago pro-
hibits the erection of frame buildings
in certain squares under penalty of a
heavy fine and the destruction of the
property by. the Marshal. Mrs. Scott,
who owns the property is thus subject
to fine for violating the city's ordin-
ance, and she therefore sought to stop
the erection of the building. The City
Solicitor and the members of Council
held that the ordinance which applies
to the case should be enforced and that
it is the Mayors plain and evident duty
to see that it is done.
Council then adjourned.
