Phelps filed personal letters with the

most hearty and cordial manner. No man

solidly backed up by men of influence

Mr.. Prouty. Mr.. Prouty is a brilliant
lawyer and has a great future before
him. Notwithstanding the eXacting de-
mands of his Office and his extensive le-

JOE WRIGHT. WON THE FIGHT.
There Was LIVELY Time at the Opera
House Last Night.

"Cape Town Joe," who came 10
Brunswick several weeks sGo, sailing
under the i.le Of the ohsm pion middl
weight fighter of the South, met a
defeat at the Grand Opera house last
night, when he went up against Joe
Wright, better known as "Curly," the
head porter at the OElethorpe hotel.
The Opera house was crowded with
sports. The gallery and balcony were
filled with negroes while two hundred
white people occupied the down stairs,
Ths fight was introduced with the
usual prelimisa aries and it wac o o'clock
before the re al fighters" made their
appearance. M. B. J. Olewine wss
selected IS referee, and after the
twenty rounds had bsen fought he gave
the decision to the Brucswick negro,
v no justly deserved 1t. The fight was
clean one all the way through and in
many instances it was fast and furious,
the hotel porter proving decidedly the
best fighter.
After she sixth round blood flowed
pFofusely from bIth negroes aud the
crowd thought they would have the
pleasure Of seeing Knockout deliv-
cred By one of the negroes, but thsy
both took their puDisnment we'll and
fought the full twenty rounds.
The negroes demonstrated that they
have both been in the ring before as
some real clever work was done.

White is Undecided.

Governor Van SAINTS declaration OF
intentions with regard to the merger
of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific railroads has caused flutter
Of interest through the northwest,
Doth in business and railroad circles.
The governor says he will consult
with the attorney general of Mime
sofa as to whether the laws now on
the statute books of Minnesota are
sufficient to cover the ground and pre-
vent the merger, and if not that he
will call an extra session of the legisla-
ture to pass laws covering the matter.
There is much interest through the
northwest in the matter. Many OF
the states already have constitutional
or statutory provisions preventing the
consolidation of competing lines of
road. Inquiries have been made of
other governors as to what action they
would take.
Governor White stated to the Bis
marck Tribune Tuesday that he had
not given the matter close enough
consideration to make statement Of
his position at the present time. The
matter is an important one, and one
that calls for full and careful consid-

firm sent Is men to the state last week
and this week from 10 to 20 have been
coming each day. On last nights
train from St. Paul there were II
land seekers. The lands can not be
shown fast enough. Most of the sales
are being made in Emmons and Logan
counties along the 500 and as soon as
the projected extensions OF that line
are completed the price of the lands is
expected to advance. The efforts OF
the N. P. and the Hackney-Boynton
company to settle the land along the
main lines of the road will be made
more thoroughly in the future than in
the past.

FOLLOWED WHERE she LED.
lndividual With a JAG and His Fail
Guide Furnish Several
lau0hs.

A fairy who makes the city quite
often and a gentleman friend she had
picked up here created considerable
amusement when the 4.45 train was
about due to leave for the east Thurs
day afternoon. He had large cargo
of booze aboard and did not seem to
know or care what port he was head
ing for. Acting as his pilot the lady
started him down to the train which
was standing at the baggage depot.
When they reached the baggage depot
the train started up and had to do it
all over again. 1t was with some Diff
ficulty that the individual with the
jag was headed back to the passenger
depot. He reeled from side to side
and even bets we're made that he
would stay in the city. He baked
somewhat when it came to climbing
the steps of the eastbound train but
she slapped him on the back urging
him on and he finally made it and
sank into a seat in the coach.
The fairy came out on the steps and
made goo-goo eyes up and down the
platform. "YOu had better look out
or he will make his escape from the
car while you are gone'', yelled one of
the bystanders. The lady smiled con.
temptuously. "He can go if he wants
to for have money of my own'', she
said.

Dan Posey Causes the Arrest OF

Courtenay has been the scene OF
much strife the past few weeks. 1t
seems that gambling had been tolera-
ted in a number of places there and
considerable money changed hands.
No one kicked very hard until one OF
the boys lost quite roll and squealed
to the police. AS q result one of the
young men conducting place Court
enay.suddenly left. Some of the people
have taken quite a dislike to the
young man who squealed. One night
last week the young man came to
town to 60 to dance and was inform
ed that he would not be let in. He is
said to have armed himself with a
revolver, presented his ticket and was
allowed to dance.
Monday of last week Dan POsey had
Oliver Couey, who runs a pool room,
arrested on charge Of assault with a
dangerous weapon with intent to do
bodily harm. The trouble was re-
suit Of strife originating over the
gambling incident, it is said.
There was considerable promiscuous
shooting on the streets of C0urtenay
one night in the early part of last
week and some innocent bystanders
did some dodging.
1t is not improbable that the feud
will result in the Courtenayites cut
ting out gambling for a while at
least.
