FREOERICkS WON.
Clean Knock Out to Clifford in Sew
enteenth Round.

Helena. Oct. 9.-"Kid" Fredericks
of Buffalo defeated Jack Clifford of
Butte tonight in the seventeenth
round, in one OF the prettiest fights
that was ever seen in Helena. In
fact, II is said that the bout was the
cleanest ever pulled off in this city.
The victory for Fredericks came af-
ter Clifford had practically refused to
fight for three or four rounds. IL
was a knock out. The fight was for
60 per cent. of the door receipts.
Eighty per cent. Of this was to go to
the winner aad ") per cent. to the
loser. BotE neI' were in prime con-
dition. and had agreed 10 meet at
catch weights. Approximately. they
entered the ring at 1875 pounds. Be-
fore the fight both seemed to be on
an even footing. Both had whipped
about the same men. and both had
been defeated by Aurelio Herrera un-
der about the same conditions. Fred.
ericks is only l9 years old and Cliff
ford's age Is given at "a. II was the
consensus of opinion tonight that Cliff
ford was the stronger man, but that
Fredericks was by far the cleverest,
both in footwork and in sparring, al
though Clifford, for the first eight
rounds. put up a splendid fight. Dune
Mcdonald was the referee. Queens.
bury rules. with fighting in the clinch-
es, was the rule of the night.
The men, it is said, had agreed to
fight to a finish II the referee had
not been able to give decision at
the end of the 90 rounds advertised.
At the close of the contest Fred.
ericks declared he was willing TO
meet Jack O'Keefe for the white
lightweight championship of the
world. O'Keefe challenged the win.
ner in dispatch before the fight be-
gun.

City Treasury.


Bozeman. Oct. l0.-In accordance
with an ordinance recently passed by
the Bozeman city council against gam
bling, complaints were made out for
the arrest Of seven OF the proprietors
Of the alleged gambling houses. Each
of these put up bond of 500 to ap-
pear before Judge Smith on October
10th for trial. There was a unanimous
failure to appear and in consequence
thereof 800 were added TO the funds
in the city treasury. Most of the men
are also proprietors of saloons.
The authorities have made no def
mite statement TO that effect. but il
has leaked out from pretty reliable
sources that the intention Is TO i'm
pose a quarterly fine on the keepers
of these houses and so control to a
certain extent the business and also
enrich the city treasury. However,

WORKING THE
DEPOT GROUNDS
One Hundred Teams and Big Force
of Men Now Busy Grading on
Right Of Way in Town.
CHANGE THE COURSE OF CREEK
Track Layers Working Within Four
Miles Of the city-Expeeted Here
BY Sunday Next.

The McShane grading crew No. 2
and the Fredericks crew, which have
been working on Cottonwood creek
for some time moved into Lewistown
the first of the week and are now en-
gagged on and near the depot grounds.
The course of the stream is being
changed for some distance SO as 10
allow the company a much larger
yard space than would be otherwise
possible. and also TO give them
better crossing of the creek. There
ar" upward OF one hundred teams
thus engaged and work is progressing
rapidly.
The McShanc crew No. / is now
finishing lis work south and west of
town and the Cazier crew has but a
few days more to work before their
contract is entirely done.
All the grading is completed to
Wolverine and the track layers are
this morning laying steel within four
miles of Lewistown.
From Friday afternoon until Sun
day they were delayed by the grad
ers and II is barely possible that the
steel will be up to the completed
grade again on Friday, but as thirty
teams are now working in the big
cut and fill behind the cemetery, and
aside from this only finishing remains
To be done, IL Is anticipated that from
the present end of the track 10 Little
Casino the steel will not be delayed.
Large numbers of people visit the
scene OF the work and the camps ey-
cry day and admire the magnificent
horses. finely kept and well trained,
which are In use, especially by the
McShane crews.
Trains have been reaching Glengary
about ten o'clock each evening and
the passengers reach Lewistown by
coach or bus by ll:l5 or 1880.
When the trains will be actually
running into Lewistown Is still a mat
ter Of speculation, but as the con
struction company arranged 20 make
Glengary a terminus within twenty
four hours after the steel reached
