RUHLIN WINS
FROM SHARKEY

London, June 26.-Gus Rubin of
Akron, Ohio, defeated Tom Sharkey of
New York in eleven rounds last night.
Sharkey held his own in the first three
rounds, but after that Rubin seemed
to have it mostly his own way. At the
opening of round eleven both were full
of fight and exchanges were rapid and
vicious, Sharkey trying to get IN
a knockout. He was punched down re-
peatedly, but he wanted lot of punch
ing to finish him and Rubin was too
tired to do it. Sharkey rolled all over
the ring and was down when the bell
sounded and Ruhlin's seconds claimed
the fight. The referee declined to al
low the claim. Sharkey's seconds,
however, threw up the sponge ana
Rubin was declared winner.

GRAFTON of Labor and sets forth in fit

'the mob toward that organization
and it's members. 1t states how they
have been frequently attacked on the

ARTS OF THE ARGENTINE.
The Great South American Republic
to be in Evidence at Worlds Fair.

A
Worlds Fair Grounds, st. Louis,
June 26.-Letters received from Jose
de Olivares, worlds fair commissioner
to the Argentine Republic, Chile and
Bolivia, bring the information that
important action has been taken with
reference to the exhibit of that cOun-
try at the Louisiana purchase exposi-
ton. He writes: "The Argentine ma
tional museum of fine arts has formal
ly accepted the invitation we recently
extended the institution to participate
in the worlds fair, and estimates are
now being made as to the space that
will be required in the fine arts build
ing at st. Louis. Senior Eduardo
Schiaffino, director of the national
museum of fine arts, called at the of
flee in person on Monday last to notify
me of the official acceptance of the in
vitation which is now being put into
writing and will be sent to me.
"The director is very enthusiastic
over the outcome of the negotiations
and assures me that he will use every
effort to surpass any art exhibit ever
before made by this country. The Ma
tional Museum here is accredited with
possessing the largest collection of
fine art works in South America, not
excepting the Chilean museums, and
includes many subjects that have won
high awards in Paris and elsewhere
before being installed here. The fine
arts department is a national institu-
ton and it's action involves the gov
eminent, in that the expense of send
ing the exhibit is to be borne by the
department of public instruction.
''In addition to the fine arts and in
dustrial exhibits, am hopeful of Sc
curing an interesting naval display
consisting of models and plans of the
modern Argentine war ships, which
are of such a class as would reflect
credit upon any country"

Fire Departments Phompt Response
Prevents Serious Results.

From Mondays Daily Gazette.
Unusually prompt response and eff
ficient work on the part OF the fire
department last Saturday evening unx
doubtedly prevented serious destruc-
tion OF property and also possibly loss
Of life.
An alarm sounded by the switch en-
gines in the west end of the Northern
Pacific yards gave notice of a fire
in that part Of town. When the fire.
men arrived they found the com
pany's oil house burning fiercely. Ow-
ing to the absence of crossings they
were unable to reach the builing with
the hose wagon and found 1T neces-
sary to unload and carry almost a
thousand feet cf hose in their arms be-
fore they could make connections with
a hydrant from which water could be
directed onto the burning structure.
This entailed the loss Of much valu-
able time, but a stream was soon play.
ing and the fire extinguished before
material damage had resulted.
The building and tanks were scorch-
ed more or less, but the vigorous man
ner in which the fire was fought speed
lily subdued the flames. Those COM
petent to Judge declare that II a few
minutes more had been lost in ex.
tinguishing the blaze an explosion
Of the stored oils would certainly
have occurred and because Of the
large crowd which had gathered about
the burning building somebody might
have been killed.

HIS PROTEST NEEDED.
Rufus Thompson Comes to See About
That Job.

't .. SuaS o00s
From Mondays Daily Gazette.
Rufus B. Thompson, who has been
the subject of an uncomfortable joke
at the hands Of his friend, MI. Segur,
of the Burlington route, came in last
night from his home in Nebraska.
Mr.. Thompson had learned to what
use Mr.. Segur has proposed to put
Of his $40 pounds a%vordupois as an adj
vertising medium for the Burlington
and came here to protest, or have Mr..
Segur recommend to the company
headquarters a salary sufficient to
compensate him for his services. In
terviewed by Mr.. Thompson " the
phone this morning the general
agent for the Burlington hoisted a
flag denoting surrender.
Speaking Of business and political
conditions in. his state MI. Thompson
says that the outlook for business in
Nebraska promises a continuation of
the prosperous times the state has
been enjoying along with the rest
Of the western country in the republi-
al column. and that the only way
to effectively kill populism or any
other crazy political idea is good
crops and high prices for everything
which the farm produces.

Team killed ana Buggy
Occupants Only Slightly Hurt.
Bozeman, April 27.-John Darling
ton and his mother of Logan, nearly
met death yesterday afternoon about
4:3O o'clock. They were driving home
from Bozeman and as they were about
to pass over q railroad crossing some
Ave miles from town they were struck
by No. II, westbound passenger. Their
team was killed, n horse being a r
ried quite q distance on the pilot. The
front part Of the buggy was smashed
to pieces and the occupants thrown
out, escaping with few bruises.
A. Blank, who is travelling for the
Montana Liquor company, saw the &C.
cident. He tried to warn the Darl-
ingtons. but they neither heard the
train whistle nor his calls. No. II
was late and was travelling very fast,
and when the engineer saw them he
was unable to stop the train. The
Darlingtons were brought to town by
Mr.. Rand and are apparently none
the worse for their scare.
