JACK Y. ADE WILL GIVE YANGER
A RETURN MATCH.
NO MORE FIGHTS IN HELENA
It Will Be Pulled Cff in Anaconda or
Butte Sometime in January
Will Be Twenty
Round Go.
Especial to Inter MOuntain,)

Helena, Dec. ga return match is
being arranged between Jack Yanger of
this city and Jack Wade of Butte, to
take place either in Butte or Anaconda
some time during January. 1t is not re-
garded as possible that the fight will
take place in Helena in the face Of the
opposition that has developed against
prize fights.
Jack Wade is in Helena and is said to
be willing to take on Yanger for a re-
turn match Yanger stated after the
fight in which he was defeated by Wade
that it would be his last fight as it was
his first.
However Yanger made a game fight
for the first seven rounds and punished
Wade severely, although he was entirely
outclassed in ring generalship. Yanger,
it will bo remembered, made the fatal
mistake In the second round of turning
around to expectorate some gum when
Wade rushed across the ring as the
round opened and sent Yanger to the
floor with a left hand punch while
Yanger had his head turned towards the
ropes.
If the fight is arranged it will be for a
side bet of $500 and will probably be a
2o-round go.

DELIRIUM TREMENS
BILLY O'MALLEY, THE LITTLE
IRISH GENTLEMAN, SUFFERS.
FIGHTS SNAKES IN COUNTY JAIL
Also Runs a Foundry and Desires to
Pare Down the Door Of His Cell
Days Of Trouble
Ahead.

William O'Malley, who calls himself
BILLY O'Malley, the little Irish gentle
man. is in the county Jail, struggling
with case of delirium tremens.
Billy was inducted into the cells last
night, and this morning he was strenu-
ously wrestling with boa constructors,
hoop snakes, red racers, pythons, rat
tiers, garter snakes moccasins, sea ser
pents and angle worms.
Billy is not related to Charley O'Mal-
ley, the young Irish dragon, and he
does not know anything about how
Mickey Free surrounded the three pris-
oners. But he initiated Mickey in his
battle with the snakes.
Puts Them Out Of Business.
He surrounded the reptiles and herded
them from one corner Of the boxcar to
another, and when he had them out of
breath he closed with them and put them
out of business.
After few rounds with the serpents
Billy changed off and began to operate
a foundry, and he complained bitterly
that the machinery would not go.
Have you got a hammer out there 2"
said he. This machinery is all blocked
up"
"Then he became a builder and wanted
a knife to pare the door of the boxcar
off at the top.
'"The door catches at the top" said
Billy. whats the use of having
door that catches at the top? Throw me
in knife and I'll whittle it off Bit
Four or Five Days.
If Billy is like the rest of them, he has
four or five days of these delightful fan
tastes ahead of him, locked in the box
car.
He will cry and whimper and howl
and groan and war with the snakes and
labor with the Herculean tasks set by
his delirious brain alone between the
iron walls, and if he has the heart of
Couer de Lion and the vitality and
strength of horse he will come out
alive. for Jail cell is as good as
hospital bed if a man is hardy enough.

New York, Dec. 26.-Another complica-
