The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-08-02
Good Coursing Promised.

l. Coursing fans are promised a day of
exceptionally fine sport at the West Side
Park Sunday. Two stakes will be run
off: one a fourteen dog open and the
other an eight dog puppy affair. The en-
tries include some of the best form IN
Butte and as the dogs are reported to be
in good condition and the hares fast, the
kills should furnish great excitement. 1t
is noticeable too, that the dogs are well
matched, which fact will increase the in
terest in the coursing and make the bet
ting lively. The sport will begin at 2
o'clock and the admission will be free.

night, resulted as follows.

A certain citizen of Butte who is dis
satisfied because he could not cut In
as he expected, is said to have declared
that he would enter a protest against
the coming boxing exhibitions to be held
at the saucer track. He is said to have
declared to some of those interested that
unless he was recognized, he would fight
the matter to the bitter end. 1t is also
understood that he contemplated appeal
ing to the clergy of the city, to denounce
the exhibitions from their pulpits. The
name of the citizen is withheld for the
present.
Manager King of the saucer track stat
ed today that he had been apprised OF
the intentions of the citizen and sald
he feared nothing from the man. lie
said it was not intended to pull off any
thing at the saucer that would not con-
form strictly with the law in the case.
He said he had so informed County At
torney Breen and that official, he stated
had answered that as long as the law
was obeyed he would be satisfied. Mr.
King explained that it was not ten in
tention to pull off prize fights, but In
stead, boxing exhibitions for exercise,
as the law directs. He says Mr.. Breen
informed him that would be all right:
that what he objected to was bruisine
matches and championship battles. where
the affairs were unquestionably nothing
but prize fights. Mr.. King said fur
Their that he had talked with represen-
tative business ment about the matter
and had been assured of their hearty
support. He stated that they declared
themselves as being wholly in favor OF
just such clean and manly sport as he
proposed presenting. Referring to the
matter of the ministers of Butte declar-
| ing themselves against the exhibitions
| Mr.. King said he believed them to be toe
much interested in their congregations
| and their welfare to take any notice Of
a disgruntled kicker. who was knock
ing" the game simply because of a 81
mon pure jealousy.
