Munroe is accompanied by his man
ager, Clarke Ball. Ball is the brother
1n-law of Bob Fftzsimmons, and was
the manager of the Jeffries- Fitzsim-
mons combination until Munroe at
tracted attention in Butte
Ball ended his engagement with his
brother-in-law Robert when he signed
a contract to manage Munroe. Fitzsim-
mons and Jeffries were both sore in
spirit over the practical defeat of the.
champion, and when Ball attempted to
secure MunrOe for the combination
trouble started. Before it ended Fitz-
simmons swung hard at his brother
in-law and put him out for-st>veraI
minutes. While Ball was in an uncon-
scious condition the freckIed fighter
discharged him.
Munroe a Modest Fellow.
Munroe is a modest appearing fell
low and looks anything but big burly
prize fighter. He is not inclined to dis
cuss the bout at Butte that brought
him before the public and is unwilling
to admit that he may be able to wrest
the championship honors from JEFF
fries.
'Jeffries is a big man." said Mum
roe, as he waited for the train to pull
out last night, land he is a man Of
great strength. That is what holds
him the championship. l do not know
whether I can defeat him or not, but I
know that he only landed one blow that
hurt me that night at Butte.
mo, 1 did not knock Jeffries down;
although I landed on him Once hard
enough to make him crouch, but he
was up again in practically no time. I
believe Tommy Ryan will take me in
charge, and if the stuff for champion
is in me l think he will be able to
bring it OUT
Munroe and Ball will stop off in
Chicago today, where they will meet
Tommy Ryan and endeavor TO arrange
terms for Ryan to travel as Munroe's
trainer.
Ball Is Confident.
Ball is confident that he has the
coming champion in charge and he is
proud Of his man.
"Munroe has the punch and is the
coming champion, fte said, "and more
than all that, he is, as you can see, 81
plain sort Of chap and a gentleman.
mat saying more imam L can TOT
several of the big Ones" and here Ball
stopped and raised his hat to show a
bandaged head. There are five stitches
in that cut" he continued, land they
were delivered to yours truly by Mr..
Fftzsimmons."
Munroe refused to continue any dis
cussion of himself or his future, and
when pressed to tell more Of himself
cleverly turned the conversation to the
HeinZe incident in Butte.
Taught T. Aug. Heinze.
+. Aug. Heinze, the millionaire who
landed on Attorney John M. Dixon
during a Rebate in Butte on the real
worth Of Judge Hiram Knowles, has
been a boxing pupil CT Munroe for
some time, and the miner was pleased
at the ctverness shown by Heinze in
slamming the attorney against the wall
of the barroom.
'Heinze was a pupil of mine' said
Munroe, and 1 am mora than pleased
to see that he made good in that row
back in Butte. Any time you begin to
think that the Montana millionaire
needs a body guard trotting around
with him you begin to harbor the
wrong impression of the Western man
of money. They can, almost all OF
them, take care of themselves

Argument

Argument.
BUTTE, Mont. Jan. 12.-Aueustus
Hefnze, the noted mining man and It'll
CANT, is hard hitter. This he proved
IN a fight in the barroom of the Thorn
ton MOTEL. While there, seated at a table
with several others, he made a sighting
remark about Judge Hiram Knowles, Of
the federal court. Attorney John M.
DIXON took offense and demanded a re-
traction from HeinZe. Heinze repeated
the sighting remark, and Dixon struck
him in the face.
HeinZe landed on Dixon's nose and that
gentleman took his length on the floor
Heinze then checked Dixon until he said
he had had enough.

Pennsylvania Forest Fires.

BRADFORD, Pa., May 1.-The worst forest fires in the history of this sec ton of Pennsylvania are now raging. A million dollars worth of property has been destroyed. Watsonville, south of this city, is reported as being de- stroyed, and it is feared that number of lives have been lost. The last word from there was that the fire had sur rounded the place and the people were fearful of being burned to death, as there was no, avenue of escape. All wires are down in that direction. At Simpson, where the forest is thick and a large number of oil wells are located, the fire is very fierce. On both sides of the railroad the woods are 8 mass of flames. The people of the town were rescued by special train being run as far as Davis City and brought to this city. They lost all their belongings. The town of Mount Jewett was threat ened with destruction from the fires that have hemmed in the place.

It does not look diff cult. The record does not state what was on the cards which were unwel- come guests at Indianapolis. but the writers probably thought them simple enough. It is something of q blow to the whole system that intelligent peo- ple could not ''get the hang'' of them at all. It might suggest further sim plification.

Discourag ging Experience With the Latest


 Chief among the supposed adyan- tages of the universal languages which people invent from time to time is in- telligibility. One ought to be able to read such a language perfectly, ils ad- vocates have said, after a few lessons, and at first sight anyone with smat- tering of modern languages should have little difficulty in getting the drift of a passage. This theory has recent ly been subjected to an incoluntary test. It was in Indiana, where inter- est in all topics connected with letters is reputedly at the highest pitch. An Indianapolis woman received last June from Russia a gorgeous postal card with some writing upon it. No one in Indianapolis could read the writing. Other postal cards arrived later from various points in Europe, just as post cards come back from a friend who is making tour of the continent. Friends and neighbors and language students were called into consultation, and worked over the cards long and earnestly, so the report goes, but with out result. At last q card came from Chattanooga, Tenn. It seemed at first as if the mysterious correspondent had reached America. But letter from London, in English, cleared matters up before the Chattanooga clue could be

 PLATTSBURG, N. Y, May 1.-The forest fires ill the Adirondacks have gained great headway on account of the high wind in spite of the heroic efforts to check them. Nothing but a good long rain will save the woods ill many places from being seriously dam aged Telephone and telegraph wires are down, and but few details are at hand, but enough is known to make it certain the worst forest fire in years is raging.

 At Loon lake the summer hotel, the Loon Lake House, owned by Ferdinand w. Chase, is in serious danger.
 At Lake Placid the White Face inn, one of the largest hotels there, is en- tirely surrounded by forest fires, and unless rain comes soon it cannot be saved.
 Proprietors of summer hotels all through the Adirondacks have appeal ed to the railroads for assistance, and the response has been prompt Every available man on both the Ne~ .oIn Central and Delaware and Hudson roads has been pressed into service.
 The Hurd sawmill at Tupper Lake, N. Y., which at the time it was erected, about twelve years ago, was the lar gest sawmill in the United States, caught fire from forest fires during the night and was destroyed, throwing POO men out of employment. The entire population of Tupper Lake is fighting the flames. The contractors on the Chateaugay railroad have sent a gang of men to the Loon Lake hotel in the hope of saving that hostelry.
 The top of Stregis mountain can be seen ablaze with forest fires, but none of the woods owned by the Paul Smith Hotel company has caught fire as yet. At McColloms and Mountain View gangs of men are fighting the fires in the surrounding woods to pro- tect the hotels.
