Kid" Frederick arrived in the city
yesterday and looks in the very pink
of condition. The kid" has been
putting the Montana fighters out of
business for the last two months and
has won over every man he has met
thus far. He will meet Dude" Lewis,
the colored fighter of Spokane, in a
10-round bout on February rs, and
the match promises to be the best
ever pulled off in the city. Frederick
is no doubt one of the best in the
business and is getting better with
every battle he has. Lewis, however,
is strong as a young bull and his
friends maintain he will give the Sc
attic boy all he can handle and per-
haps more. Frederick leaves short
ly for Butte, where he will fight
kid" Opie before he meets lanky
Dude" Lewis.
The darkey wears determined
look the last few days, but doesn't
say much. He struck out early this
morning for the fair grounds, where
he will chase himself a few miles. He
needs but little training, as his fights
at Wardner, Idaho, have kept him in
fairly good fettle. Eddie Quinn is

promises to make the main event
more than of ordinary interest, The

Spokane for some months. Both men
have many friends and the odds will
be close.

EXPLAINED BY ODELL.
Governors Statement Regarding
Wr. Bcnder'S Telegram.

An attempt on the part Of the enemies of Gov
ernor Oden to make it appear that the Governor
or his personal friends had profited by a transact
uon conducted by Fiscal Supervisor H. H Bender,
OF Albany. in the purchase of sugar for State
institutions fell fat yesterday when the facts were
made public. About every often stories of a
scandalous nature set ahoat by a clique known
to the Governors friends to be practically subs-
aized by Democratic interests in this city. The
tories stand on their feet in the morning, limp
it midday and reach the refuse dump before the
stroke of s. As fast S they disappear new crop
of the same breed is sprouted.
When Governor OdeI was seen at the Fifth Ave-
nue. HoIeI, where he registered last night, after
"trip to town 10 Senator Platt, he made the
following statement:
Il have investigated carefully the allegations that
Fiscal Supervisor Bender had ordered the superin-
tendents of State institutions purchase sugar
rom certain firm Mr.. Bender denied sending
any such order. and several superintendent with
whom have communicated said they have re-
ceived no such orders Mr.. Bender simply quoted
to the sLperintendents current price to guide
them in their own purchases. He had authority
to compel them to buy, but merely fixes miXimum
price at which the product can be bought. If the
superntendents or boards of managers can in their
own localities purchase at lower figures they are
allowed to do so. The firm of Mathews & Co. at
Newburg. is not directly indirectly dealing in
any manner with the State"
