AND TUMBLE FIGHT
THE CUFF AND cURLEY FIGHT
PROVED TO BE PRE-AR-
RANGED FAKE.
Neither Men Did Any Work That Had
a Sen,bIance Of the Manly
Art.

The much advertised o0-round go
between Ed Cuff and Jack Curley at
the Whlla Walla Athletic Club last
night terminated in the third round
with the men engaged in disgraceful
rough and tumble. The tactics en-
ployed by the two fighters to bring the
bout to a successful close were SO
palpably re-arranged that when Ref
cree King announced Curley the win
ner on a foul, cries of fake went up
from all parts of the house and the
crowd filed out of the club rooms
grumbling and Disguised at the way
the fight had ended.
From the way the men mixed it in
the first two rounds it looked to the
initiated as if the bout was on its
merits, but to the hardened ring fol-
lower, the heavy slaps and wild swings
did not have a true ring. Toward the
close of the third round Cuff rushed
Curley to the ropes, upper cutting
wildly Curley| clinched and the men
wrestled and roughed it on the ropes
for a full half minute with Referee
King making strenuous efforts to sep
arate the struggling pair. Curley
managed to break away and Cuff fell
to the mat in the center of the ring.
He was up in an instantly and tackled
Curley again, throwing him to the
floor, where they commenced roughing
it again. The gong changed as the men
lay struggling on the floor and after
they had been separated and sent to
their corners King announced that he
would give Curley the fight on a foul.
While the main event terminated in
an unhappy manner, at least from the
spectators point of view, the prelimi-
naries were of an unusually high order.
Kid Dabney, after walloping out an
easy mark" struck Tartar" i'm the
shape of a green country lad, who
fought him to standstill in the third
round. The country lad, who had been
dubbed Britt by the crowd, took an
awful punching for a couple of rounds,
but he showed grit and in the third
round punched Dabney all around the

HOME ENTERPRISE.

Our people are becoming more and

give home enterprises the preference

RELIGIONISTS.

Salt Lake city Is at present the scene
Of much activity by professed religion
lists The term is used advisedly, as
standing for narrow-minded bigoted
fanatics. They hail YOU on the street
corners, in street cars In tents. They
endeavor 10 attract attention by sing
ing by drums, by jumping and dancing,
by shouting and whoopng, and other
eccentric methods.
We have no quarrel with any Of these.
Everyone In this land has "A perfect
right to enjoy his religion the best he
can, even II jumping and dancing and
other physical exercises are indIlged In
as acts Of worship. This is matter
between the worshiper and his Maker.
But may we not respectfully submit
TO persons who come here, pretending
to be ministers Of the gospel Of peace,
that they prove themselves to be OF
that class of peryerts whose fate Is
sure, when instead OF proclalming the
gospel. they indulge in Islander and
abuse2 Is there any other community
IN this broad land, where such a course,
under the cloak OF religion, would be
tolerated for any length OF time?
The people here are very tolerant
They know that most Of these religion
lists are preaching for what there is in
It," and that very important part Of
their services is the passing around of
the hat But the itlnerant preachers
and perverters OF the Bible would new
ertheess do well TO remember that, al
though no one here may care TO call
them to account, yet, some day they
will have to answer for every word Of
SANDER they have uttered against their
felow-men; also that they cannot de-
ceve the Eternal Judge by shouts Of
"Hallelujah,"

CHANCE FOR CONTROVERSY.

A short time ago Bishop Potter. OF
New York, the now famous churchman
took part in an odd ceremony He "ded-
icated" n saloon, by prayer we presume.
The function ended by the singing of
the "doxology."
The new saloon, thus opened, which
undoubtedly gave It more advertising
than II could have obtained In any 9TH
er way, for the money, IL not to be a
common den of lniquity II 10 TO be "a
model saloon" in which ladies can be
served, at the soda water fountain, the
same as the gentlemen, at the bar.
Everything is to be respectable" on
that understanding the bishop dedioat-
ed the place, and had the "doxology"
sung.
But now the temperance people are
UP in arms. They strongly condemn
the prelate for his part In the queer
proceedings. A Milwaukee bishop feels
personally Inundated and pronounces
Bishop Potter's connection with the af-
ltlT hlNEldNtluls OAiN'l NAhAiNh AAlNi
express themselves similarly.
Mrs. Ella A. Boole, formerly president
Of the New York branch of the w. G..
T. u, says:
I'VE are absolutely opposed to any
such institution as the one which Bish-
op Potter dedicated yesterday, and,
while the Bishop was acting IN his pri-
vate right and not as the representative
Of the church, he is a high dignitary OF
the church, and II Is a matter Of regret
that he should lend himself to the dedi-
cation OF a saloon, II seems 10 me that
the singing OF the DoXology In a saloon
was little short OF sacrilegious."
Now, we fancy that Bishop Potter
will he almost compelled to come for

with the saloon. 1t will he exceedingly

give, His reply to his critics may mean

WHEN wATERMELoNs ARE REAL
ESTATE.
Baltimore Herald.


On the ground that lead pipe incor-
porated in building IL real estate, and
tina, there can be no larceny OF real
estate. Delaware Judge has acquitted
a man who stripped O mill OF a halt-ton
Of lead pipe, and who was arrested IN
Philadelphia
says that III the operation were not
continuous that is.if the person should
lay down the pipe after severing II from
building, leave Il for while and re-
turn later and carry 1t away--he might
be adjudged guilty of larceny" other
wise the attorney general thinks no lar
ceny IL committed
Attorney Franklin Brookson explain
ed the point more fully, and said:
suppose you were 10 go into a wa
termeon patch and cut a melon from
growing vine and carry the melon
away You would not be subject 10
larceny under the common law. But II
you should become frightened after sew
erlng the melon from the vine and
should lay II on the ground and re-
turn later and carry II away. then you
could be arralgned for larceny. The
fact that you do not remove the prop
erty by continuous operation changes
the property from realty not subject to
larceny to personal property, which
can be stolen"
With such authorities and such rea-
soning the conclusion that lead pipe and
watermelons are, under some circum-
stances, real estate seems inevitable,
but law and common sense are unques-
tonably at variance In the matter.

Every right thinking person will
agree with President Roosevelt's state
ment IN the case of the condemned ne
gro, Burley that he had little sympathy
with the plea OF insanity interposed In

most revolving one and whom the
President said that no one would think
of putting the man In an asylum be-
cause Of his alleged insanity he said
the commonsense thing. Scarcely a
case of heinous or capital crime comes
up but that the plea Of insanity Is inter-
posed II is, perhaps, responsible for
more miscarriages of justice than any
