CAN FRANCISCO, August 14-Ten
thousand were seated about the
pavilion in Mechanics pavilion at
o'clock tonight representing an expendi-
ture for seating accommodations aggre-
eating $4,000. This is the largest crowd
that ever assembled at a ringside in this
country and the third largest sum in dol
lars and cents ever contested for. The
two that exceeded 1t in receipts were the
Corbett-Jeffries fight at Coney Island,
$66, 900, and the CorbettMcCoy fight at
Madison Square Garden, N Y, s6s,0O0.
The scene about the big pavilion from 5
p. m. until the men stepped into the ring
was one of confusion. The gallery ticket
holders formed in line on Hays, Larkin
and Grove streets in three large rows and
although there was a lot of crowding and
scrimmages in the attempt to gain ad-
mittance, hundred policemen kept per-
feet order, once the door was opened.
The pavilion ticket holders were more
leisurely about coming to claim their
seats. Not until quite o'clock were the
chairs, boxes and benches full.
Many celebrities Present.
About the ring were many celebrities
that have graced every pugilistic encoun-
ter during the last decade. The ascetic
features of "Parson' Davies were prom

George Siler; Sandy Griswold of Omaha,

II have hunted foxes for more than
forty years and l have killed more
than thousand. OF this number
seventy-five or eighty were cross
foxes, whose pelts are worth from
$40 to SIS to-day, fourteen were black
foxes and eight were silver grays.
IF a red fox were half as cunning
rs they say he is, he would never be
shot ahead of the dogs. So long as
there is plenty of room for a fox to
run in and the room is in a direct
line, he can distance the best dog liv-
ing at the quarter post and get so far
away in half q day that the hunters
could notsee him again for a week.
But a red fox hasn't learned that

that he will be envious and will spend

he is selected for the hunt than he

Will sit down on a sunny knoll and
listen and laugh to hear the dogs
swear about him. He will do these
tricks until the dogs are tired and
mad clear through, and then he will
begin to run in a circle so he can
keep the dogs within earshot all the
time.
"And this is what finishes him up,
for as soon as the hunters learn that
he is moving in a curve, they calcu-
late the diameter of his circuit, cut
across to head him off, and the next
time he comes around smiling at the
joke he is playing on the dogs, he is
met in the face with a charge of dou-

No one ever knew black fox or

AS soon as fox with costly over

and is off to windward at the rate of
thirty miles an hour.
AS he keeps his nose to the wind
all the time, he can smell out any
danger that may be ahead of him, and
so long as he keeps running he is
sure that nothing can overtake him
from behind. If the dogs happen to
be OF the long-legged kind, such as
they use in England, the fox has to
stir his feet pretty lively for few

mission liberated 5000 black bass
there was ashowl from hundreds who
feared that the bass would destroy
the young shad. But the commission
ers have demonstrated that the bass
has no special appetite for shad. On
the contrary, the bass prefers several
other kinds of young fish, and the
liberation of the bass has proved to be
highly beneficial in the lakes and ponds
where distributed.
1t is surprising how few people
know the names of the various fish
foods. The federal fish commission
is doing good educational work in
teaching people the names OF fishes;
task which has been found to be ex-
ceedingly difficult. Different names
are often given to the same fish, in
different localities. For example,
take the catfish family, or kiluridae.

Red Lodge. Sept. 3.-It appears that
another shooting Gffray has occurred

where the sheepmen and cattlemen
are at war about range privileges. A
telephone message from Lawyer Ed.

that a party OF cattlemen fired voley

damage was done by the bullets, how.
ever.
The news was brought by a rider
from Sage creek this morning. He
asked Mr.. Butler to inform the sheriff
of the facts. The message was from
A. I. Frates, who claims the bullets
flew so thickly in the vicinity of his
sawmill that people who came for
lumber were frightened away. He
asked the officers 10 stop the feud
which Is interfering with his business.
Frates claimed that, because he has
leased his ranch 10 a sheep outfit. the
cattIemen are also down on him.
and have threatened 10 burn his mill
although he says he hardly believes
that they will carry the threat into
execution. He says they have no
rightful grudge against him. for ho

cattlemen.
Many express fear that unless the
trouble is soon settled, there will be-
fatalities from the shooting.
