Jack Monroe, miner of Butte,
fought our fast with Champion Jim
JeHries Saturday night and the big
fellow failed to stop him as agreed to
lost the decision. The great crowd
went wild with enthusiasm. Monroe
repeatedly jolted Jeffries in the face
and had the big fellow considerably
worried. Monroe was not to be denied,
no matter how ilard or often Jeffries
came at him and was fighting all the
time until the close of the fou tn round.
Jeffries tried his very best to knock the
big miner out, but he showed great
cleverness in ducking and blocking
uppercuts. Jeffries also roughed it in
the clinches, but onroe was with him
all the time. At one time the champion
went to his knees and knockout looked
possible. Jeffries and his manager
had posted forfeit of $3.50 for anyone
to stand against Jeffries for four
rounds and Monroe accepted the chal-
lenge. At the end of the fourth round
monroe was still ready to fight. Mon.
roe is amateur champion of the Pacific
coast. Fitzsimmons has posted a for.
felt of $500 to put Monroe out in four
rounds.
Mrs. James Downing of New Orleans

ing says that she was married to
Downing six years ago last June. AS
an after-thought she adds postscript
saying that if the missing Downing
has married again she would like to
have him punished.

MAY SELECT OTHERS.
Lieu Lands for Entrymen Within Northern
Pacific Grant,

Notices have been received at the
several land offices of the state that
number Of entrymen in Montana who
had selected lands within the odd
numbered sections in the Northern
Pacific grant may select other lands
in lieu of the ones now held, if they
care to avail themselves of the priv
ilege to do so. Selections of lands
within the grant have been made in
about every land district in the state.
TO those occupying the lands letters
have been sent by the land offices
notifying them of the right to take lieu
lands, if it is SO desired. The letters,
after calling attention to the fact that
the entries to which they refer are in
odd numbered sections within the linn
its of the primary grant to the railroad
company and that but for the entries
the land would belong to the Northern
Pacific, next call attention to the law
under which lieu lands may be taken.
The law is contained in an act passed
by congress July l, 1898, and the in
structions under which the land Offices
are acting were given out by the de-
partment Of the interior Feb. IA, 1899.
1t is a matter of choice with the
entrymen whether they make the ex-
change. They are entitled to retain
the lands selected by them or relinQuish
them to the government and take other
unoccupied lands in their stead. Sixty
days are allowed in which the entry
men may make their election. Instruc-
tions are given to the entrymen how to
proceed in whichever course they may
select. 1t is specified that failure to
take action within the 6O.day limit
will be treated as an election on the
part of the entrymen to retain the land
they now occupy.

SO far received at the American Labor

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.
An Excellent Program Rendered bv the
Scholars


Scholars.
On last Friday, the first grade en-
tertained their friends with 4 program
and Christmas tree. The program
consisted of songs, recitations and
march. The children entered into
their parts with great spirit and each
was accorded a liberal share of praise
for the excellent manner in which the
exercises were given. All present were
highly pleased with the entertainment.
OF course, the crowning event of the
afternoon was the unloading of the
Christmas tree. Each child had made
a present for his or her father and
mother. These were given out. and
every child was made happy for a few
minutes with bag of candy and pop
corn.
Among those present to witness the
play, "The Toys Rebellion which
was rendered by Miss Casselman's
pupils, the fourth and fifth grades,
were the pupils of the grammar de-
partment. When they marched into
the room they found it we'll filled with
the parents of many of the pupils and
the third grade pupils who were in
vited from Miss Smiths room. AT the
left of the center of the front portion of
the room was a beautifully-tr
Christmas tree, heavily laden with the
Xmas presents which the pupils had
made for their parents and neat little
sack of corn and candy for each pupil.
The play began at once, and the
manner in which it was performed
certainly reflected credit on Miss Cas-
selman and her pupils. Each one
carried out his part perfectly and
seemed to enter into the spirit of the
play with great enthusiasm.
After the program was completed,
Miss Jackson's pupils silently left the
room and once again assembled i'm
their room upstairs where they were
treated to chocolates and nuts. A
social time followed, after which the
pupils were dismissed with many a
wish of IA Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year" from their teacher.
In the meantime the tree in Miss Cas-
selman's room was un1oaded and
parents and pupils went home feeling
they had been pleasantly entertained.

there 60 days preceding election. They
resided in the district as long or longer
than the statutes require TO entitle one
to vote. The republicans then started
their campaign of intimidation and
registry agents were instructed to re-
fuse to allow these men to register
unless they secured transfers from the
precincts in which they had previously
registered. Others were warned that
if they registered they would be thrown
in Jail and this threat was carried out.
II am personally acquainted with
three of the men who were thus ar
rested. and one of them has to my
knowledge been in this state for Is
years. Others have been here as long,
or almost as long, as that-they blazed
the trail for these fellows who are now
prosecuting them.
ut is true that the votes of these
men may have had marked influence
on the election, but these men had
perfect right to vote-no laws were
violated. This so-called colonization
was carried on in MANY parts of the
state-wherever it was necessary to
move large bodies of men to do their
work-and is perfectly legal. In every
case the men had resided in the pre-
cinct the full time required ay law,
and were registered in no other pre-
cinct

on such grounds as these can be sue

J. N. KENNEDY INTERVIEWED.
Senator From Deer lodge County on EIec.
ton Contests

State Senator ]. M. Kennedy, of
Deer Lodge county, who recently re-
turned from trip through the eastern
part of the state, explained the contests
that have been instituted by the repub-
licans against Senators-elect Whipple
of Broadwater county, Hopkins of Rose
bud, and Durham of Granite, and
characterized the contests as one of
former United States Senator T. H.
Carter's moves in his campaign for re-
election to the national senate two
years hence, says the Billings Times.
CARTER BEHIND 1T.
"Mr. Carter is back of the whole
proposition said Senator Kennedy,
land if he can have these contests
sustained it will mean two years from
now three votes, which should go for a
democratic candidate, will be cast for
him.
Concerning the Broadwater and
Granite county contests I know but
little from actual knowledge, but am
told that the contests, especially that
in Broadwater county, have been in
stituted on very f1imsy grounds. Mr..
Whipple's conduct, am told by his
neighbors, has been exemplary, and 1
have no hesitancy in saying that 1 be-
1ieve that a democratic senate will
sustain him, as we'll as Senator elect
Durham.
THE ROSEBUD CASE.
81 am familiar with the Rosebud
contest, and will say that Mr.. Hopkins
has as much right to his seat in the
senate as any other man who as ever
been sworn into that body. The con-
test against him is on the alleged
charge of colonization, and is the out
come OF the prosecutions that were
instituted during the campaign, when
voters were thrown into Jail for alleged
illegal registration, while many other
men who were as much entitled to vote
as any voter in the county, were virtu-
ally 'bufaloed.'
''The history of that case is this:
For the past II months there has been
big demand TO: men III Rosebud and
Yellowstone counties, as we'll as in
Teton, Choteau and other counties
throughout the state. The Northern
Pacific needed men and had been ad-
vertising for them in almost every daily
paper in the stase.
''As you know, there were many idle
men in Butte early this fall. It was
election year, and people naturally
t1ocked to the center of population,
while in addition to this Butte had
been dull. copper had dropped from II
cents to II cents, and many of the
mines were restricting the output, thus
thro wing meu out of employment, while
Il number of other mines were closed
down entirely owing to injunctions.
WE'RE LEGAL VOTERS.
''These men had to work for their
living and many of them secured Jobs
down in Rosebud and Yellowstone
counties. The most of them went down

DON'T LIKE ROAD LAW.
throughout Montana Con.
denim CelIer Measure.

State Examiner William Hudnall in
his report. now in the hands of Gov
ernor j. K. Too1e, takes occasion to
speak of the general dissatisfaction
which the present road law, known as
the Geiger law, has created throughout
the state. But a few of the counties
are satisfied with the conditions as
they prevail under the existing law,
and an inquiry by the state examiner
and his assistant, F. H. Ray, sent to
every county in Montana, brought forth
deluge of replies and reasons as to
why the Geiger law is for the most
part disliked.
The majority of the counties favor
its repeal, and there is no doubt but
that the coming Legislature will take
some action in the matter. That part
of the examiners report relative to the
road law reads:
Incidentally this office has heard
many complaints about the existing
road law. While not part of the
official duties, it has for the general
good sent to each board OF county COM
missioners series of questions on the
subject.
"Twenty-three counties replied.
Three-Deer Lodge, Madison and
Sweet Grass-ignored the matter, al
though four requests were sent them.
OF the % replying, two-Granite and
Powell-are as we'll served by the
present law as by the previous one.
Twenty-one want it repealed, and
several of them are very emphatic in
the statement.
Carbon county says, that it costs
ST., 900 TO disburse 81. 500, and that the
law has no redeeming feature, Fifteen
counties reply that the collection of per
capita road tax is much less under the
present law, in some cases so per cent.
less. Various remedies are suggested.
Re-enactment of territorial laws of the
code of 1895 and of 1897 ana 1899 law
is advocated by different counties.
1.-Two want supervisors elected,
while seven prefer appointments by the
board of county commissioners. The
majority favor the abolition of the
working out of road tax, instead of
requiring payment in cash. There is
am even division of opinion as to the
exemption of men above IS years of age
from the per capita tax. From Custer
county came a protest by S. F. Biddle
against the answers of commissioners.
Answers from 20 counties, some of
which go into considerable detail, are
on file in this Office and would be of
use to committee drafting a bill.''

THE FATE OF A CHILD

tured BY Attorney

been on trial for three days, was con-

the hands of Judge Amber, who has
reserved his decision. The arguments
of counsel occupied all the afternoon.

who represented the husband. Fred
Fletcher
When the wife filed the petition for
divorce. she alleged gross neglect.
desertion and cruelty, and asked. for
the custody of the child. The husband
filed cross petition, making some
very ugly charges against his wife,
and asked that her prayer be refused
care of their little seven year old
daughter.
The witnesses to some extent sub
stantiated the charges made by both
husband and wife. In the arguments
both the attorneys urged they had
been proven as reason why their
client should be given the divorce and
tho care of the daughter. The pleas
were quite pathetic, Attorney Turner
bringing tears to the eyes of the au-
dltors as he pictured the fate of the
little one if turned over to the mother.
Fletcher is machinist. and is in the
