NEW PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION.

Believing that by organization they
could best guard their interests and
secure at least a fair share of the
business to which they believe chem
selves entitled, the publishers OF east
ern Montana have formed am associa-
ton, purely for business purposes.
II. is not their wish or desire to an
bagonize the state editorial associa-
tion. which, while useful and for a
purpose, has become more of a social
conearn than its originators probably
The new organization is non-political,
as in its membership are included
newspapers representing both politi-
cal parties and nothing in the consti-
tuition adopted trenches the least on
matters of politics. Perhaps the OBJ
lects of the association are best set
fdrth in that clause of the constitu-
lion which declares that it is the
pHpose.of the members to arrive at
definite ways and understanding in
regard to. 'fthe business and the con-
duct of the newspapers hereby as
ssnciated; to secure for the members
patronage legitimately due the cOun-
Try press. and to establish a rate of
foreign advertising based on circula-
ton
It may probably also be said that
she members of the new organization
are of the belief that it is advisable
for them to establish a solidarity by
which they may all the better conduct
Iheir business more independently
and be free from outside dictation
and interference. This does not mean
f1at a trust" has been organized or
That anything akin to a combine
Is contemplated. AS before stated,
II is a business organization, a com

1t is very evident that Tillman knew
the people of his county when he
concluded mot to ask for a change of
venue. Long experience and close
observation had satisfied him that a
political murder in South Carolina,
no matter in what county committed,
was reckoned as not attaining ever
the dignity of a simple misdemeanor.
He felt himself absolutely safe, wher-
ever tried, so long as it was in his

BRIGGS STAYS THE LIMIT.
OutpOint ed, However. by Young COrbett
in Ten.ROund Bout.

Boston, June 29.--Young Corbett, cham
pion featherweight of the world, bested
Jimmy Briggs of Chelsea, Mass, champion
featherweight of New England. in ten
rounds at the Criterion A. c. tonight
Over 5000 persons witnessed the bout,
the majority Of whom were supporters Of
Briggs and they manifested their disap-
proval of Referee Days decision in no
uncertain manner.
The decision, however, was a just one,
as the champion outpointed the local boy
handily, and toward the end OF the bout
did his best to win decisively.
From start to finish Briggs fought on the
defensive, stalling and blocking during
the greater part Of the contest. Occa-
sionally, however. the star OF the East
would assume the aggressive, and in these
rallies he would force Young Corbett around
the ring or into clinches
Corbett tried repeatedly to put his terrific
right swing OH Briggs's jaw, but the latters
crouching attitude made it almost impossible
for the champion to land with effect.
Both jabbed almost continuously and to
his left jab Briggs owes the credit OF staying
the limit In several Of the rounds the
local man had the champion tired. notably
in the third eighth and ninth.
Contrary to his usual method Briggs paid
little attention TO his opponents body. but
this was probably due TO Corbett's fine
defence. Corbeit had eight or ten pounds
advantage in weight, and this handicap
began to tell on Briggs toward the end OF
the bout

RECORD TROTTING TO WAGON
Lou Dillon Steps \ Mile In zO4 81 At
Cleveland.

CLEVELAND. June 29.-Lou Dillon, who
created a sensation two weeks ago by
stepping a mile to wagon in 2:08h, at the
Gentlemen's Driving Club, made new
trotting figure to-day by stepping mile
in 2O4A, breaking the worlds record to
wagon by full second, held by Lord Derby,
who made the distance in 2:05H. This
also gives to Lou Dillon the honor Of trotting
the fastest mile to wagon or sulky that
has been made in turf history in the month
of June, az we'll az dethroning Cresceus
and other wel-known horses that have
held former records o wagon at a matinee.
This places Lou Dillon in the ranks as
the coming champion, and when the time
comes, which will not be long, Mr.. Billings
will send her out to beat the mark OF 2'02H
now held by Cresceus. While her mile at
the matinees is not bar to her in the pro-
fessional ranks, she is eligible to start In
the green trotting classes, but Mr.. Billings.
who, by the way, has had an offer nearly
double what he paid for her at the recent
Fasig Upton sale. will use her exclusively
on the road and at matinees.
The Monk to-day stepped mile in 2:OSH
trotting the last quarter in thirty seconds.
He was also driven by Mr.. Billings, and he
expects that The Monk will beat his old
record Of 2:O514 before two weeks are over.
Mr. Billings drove Fred 8. Wedgewood a
mile in 2,O5,., pacing the last half in thirty
one seconds.

SHARKEY DEFEATS PIENIN0.
While Bout IL On, Somebody Throws q
Watch at P1ening's Manager.

John Piening had the time OF his career
in trying to throw Tom Sharkey twice in
thirty minutes at the London Theatre last
night, He succeeded In pinning the sailors
shoulders to the mat after "a minutes of
work Sha1key lodged a complaint, but
to no purpose, and the fall counted.
Piening could not gain another fall in the
remaining six minutes, and. according to
the agreement, Sharkey was declared the
winner. Piening g performance was poor.
Sharkey was always willing to mix It
up and on two occasions had Piening. al
most down. Toward the close Of the bout
Piening was very tired. and the crowd
jeered him. He made bluff to do some
thing just before time was called, but It did
not amount to anything.
While the bout was In progress somebody
in the gallery hurled .phony" gold watch
at Piening's manager. The missile just
grazed the latter's head.
The crystal Of the watch broke and pieces
Of glass were strewn all over the mat The
incident caused lot Of excitement at the
time. After the match the manager made

watch and IN ma near hain0 ns.,'nhlu hs s>1le~a

They went down to the mark with hard

were awash. The Reliance turned the

The crew of the Columbia was much

The fleet OF steam yachts were all hurry

the Constitution did not do at all we'll and
was often hanging limp.
The Reliance slowly but surely drew
away from the Columbia. and the Consti-
tuition drew up somewhat on the old cham
pion. The yachts made a grand picture
as they rushed toward the finishing line.
1t had begun to rain when they turned
the outer mark, but that did not de mp

The Reliance dashed across the finishing
line at 1925 81 and was saluted by the screech-
ing whistles from twenty or more big steam
yachts. The Columbia crossed at s:29:2a,

two boets was carefully counted on by
all who were watching the race. Again the
whistles sounded this time for the old boat.
