CORBETT WHIPS
TERRY n'GOVERN

San Francisco. April William
Rothwell, better known as Young
Corbett" of Denver, showed decisiyely
last night that his victory over Terry
McGovern of Brooklyn at Hartford a
year ago last Thanksgiving was no
huke, by defeating McGovern in the
eleventh round, after a fight in which
there was not second of idleness for
either man.
In nearly every round Corbett, fight
ing like machine, never overlooking
an opportunity to send home his blows.
had a shade the better of the argu-
ment. and when finally, in the elev-
ennth round. he got the Brooklyn boy
fairly going he never let up on him
defeated man.
Corbett put McGovcrn down in the
first round for count of seven and
repeated it in the second.
In the concluding round there was
some question as to whether or not
ten, and for a few minutes it looked
as il there would be a free-for-al'
fight. McGOvern tried to get up, tried
hard, and was on his feet an instant
after the time keeper counted him out.
George Harding, the club time-keeper.
who counted McGovern out. stated af-
ter the fight that the blows that
knocked McGovern out were left and
right swings on the jaw and right
uppercut on the chin. Harding said
McGovern was in da2ed condition;
that when he had counted nine he mo-
toned him to get up. but McGovern
was too confused to notice and unable
to rise.
AT the count of ten MCGOycrn start
ed to rise, but it was too late, and the
referee awarded the fight to Young
Corbett. Harding said that McGoyern
was completely out. and that It was
a mercy to him that he was unable to
get up. COrbett was strong and ready
and had McGovern risen to his feet
he probably would have been seriously
hurt.

DISPUTED SURVEY
in ROUTT COUNTY

Denver, April 1.-The Republican
parts of Routt county Just now have a
peculiar status If Preston King, sur
veyor for the county is right in a sur
vey he made last fall. by which he
found the sectional lines of a large and
fertile valley at the junction of Bear
and Snake rivers to be three-quarters
of mile too far north and quarter
of mile too far east, people who
till land will find themselves owners
only of hopeless deserts. Surveys for
the Moffat Short Line may also be
affected.
Back in 1881. when the state was
new. it is said that some very slipshod
government surveys were made. But
they were located, bought and sold,
and when settlers located in the valley
on Snake river. near the Utah lire.
they felt sure enough of their claims
to cultivate tcr.s ory from one-half
to three miles wide and about ten
miles long.
When everything was nourishing, a
syndicate of Salt Lake capitalists. re-
presented by former State Auditor
John w. Lowell of this state bought
the tract. There were 5,120 acres in
all. The land was fenced. an irriga-
ton canal built run from Bear river,
and for 90 years the ground has been
undergoing improvement of all kinds.
Last fall when Mr.. King announced the
result of his survey, there was rush
of settlers to the Glenwood Springs
land Office. who made filings of diff
ferent parts of the tract. Thirty filings
were made. and the people who made
these filings are now made defendants
in suit filed by the syndicate own
ing the land This syndicate is known
as the Lily Park Stock Growing Asso-
citation and its petition has been filed
in the United States Circuit court by
Senator Edward T. Taylor of Glenwood
Springs The Lily Park Company
holds that it entered the land accord
ing to government surveys, compiled
with all the conditions required for
such holdings and feels :hat the gov
ernment should make resuryey and
award the old settlers the land on
which they have spent in the 20 years
al least S25o,OOO.

extent upon the opinion Of the board
as to the time within which it may be
confidently expected the men will be
reinsiatHd. Mr.. Meyer has stated that
he wished SO far as possible to avoid
bringing loss upon Others and particu-
larly upon the miners and nine owners
in the Cripple Creek district for
cause, whrh in the opinion of the
board, was not serious.
The terms of settlement agreed up
on have not been reduced to writing.
but rest largely upon the settlement
made by Mr. MaCNeill and Mr. Moycr
in the presence of the board and 1t IS
to be left to the board and Governor
Peabody to say on the 18th day OF May
1903. whether or not the terms of set
tlement made have been at that time
carried out in good faith by the parties
IN conclusion we desire to say that while
concessions have been made on both
sides, no principle has been abandoned
by either and We think the terms Of
settlement are honorable to all The
board ar no time has had any doubt
but that whatever terms might he
agreed upon would be faithfully car
ried out. The difficulty has been to
induce the parties to agree and it was
only late this afternoon that all OBJ
stables we're overcome and final agree
ment made as above stated, which
agreement Will be a permanent settle
ment of the matters in controversy. A
complete report TO the governor will

The State Leeches.

Is there any good reason why the
meeting OF legislature should be al
excuse for II grand rush to get on the
states pay roll? 1t invariably hap
pens, but why should long suffering
public stand it? Surprising the state
were private corporation, how long
would officials remain in charge who
employ 200 employees for whom there
was no use? II the sta were d pri-
vate corporation fifty employees would
do the work which 300 are paid to do
in the Kansas Legislature now-and
the committee clerks have yet to be
appointed in the house
1t would perhaps be too much to ex-
pect public employe to work as hard
az one for private corporation, but
really 100 employees ought to be
enough to attend to the needs of the
Legislature, thereby eliminating 200
who are practically useless. These
200 extra employees cost the state SO u
day each, q total of SSOO day for the
extra number, or a3O, 900 for the ses-
sion. This may Bon be any great sum
for the State IS = whole TO pay, but it
ought not to be 80.
The trouble is that too many people
get the legislative habit and demand
that their members 10 each house. Sc

A WILD ANIMAL
EXCITES PEOPLE,
One Killed and Five Cubs
Found. Male Mate
at Large.

Last week the citizens around the
Knitting Mill and the Kennesaw Marble
Works became alarmed over the appear
ance of wild animal in that neighbor-
hood, about the size of an ordinary dog.
Several depredations had been commit
ted at night in that vacinity. Mr..
Walter Mayfield shot at the animal in a
field and he ran under the house known
as the Charley Phillips place. Mr..
Ralph Northcutt got lighted lantern
and crawled under the house and saw
the glare Of the animals eyes and with
his pistol shot it to death. 1t was got
ten out and proved to be a coyote or
prairie wolf. Mr.. Walter Mayfield in
searching for it's mate, which is making
hideous the night with its plaintive
calls, found und erneath ledge of rock
five cubs, which he carried home and
will raise. About fifty men were out
Friday night with guns trying to find
the mate.
