Its principal, Prof. W. O. Strong, is
q Kentuckian by birth. He was 6
years chemist and pharmacist, prin-

several years cashier and bookkeeper
for Mr.. N. o. Nelson, q st. Louis

tween that city and Long Branch; Co

interfered with passage Of vessels.
Mr.. Strong, re-entered the service Of
the war department and became pay

ersl Ludlow, at Havana, where he was
located over three years. As such he
disbursed money at the rate Of mil

Although the $4,000 bid of the Broad

accepted by both Tom Sharkey and

the outlook for holding the contest Is
not 80 favorable as 1t was a weeksago'
The main trouble seems 10 be IN as
oertainIng for certainty whether or
not arrangements can be made without
the possibility Of hitch. The money
Is ready az "a moments notice, ana the
men who offer the purse are waiting TO
get their money placed IN the proper
hands
In fact. the money seems to be the
least OF the trouble The cash Is ready
but the club Is on the anxious seat as
TO whether or not the contest WIZ De az
lowed TO take place In Montana II
would be foolish for the organization TO
post It's money go to the expense OF
erecting a suitable arena, and making
the other expensive arrangements nee
essary to the pulling on Of a big contest
and then have the money swept away as
by a gust Of wind when some person not
In favor Of the game should put up
kick and queer the whole arrangement
A battle between Munroe and Sharkey
would draw better here than anywhere
else In the country Montana would UNI
doubtedly turn out in force to witness
a Butte miner mix II with a man who
once had lots Of advertising as a fighter
and VINO met all the good ones Of the
