DECLARED A DRAW.
siddons and Hayward Evenly Match.
ed-Put Up Good Exhibition.

George Siddons and Jim Hayward
fought twenty rounds to 4 clean draw
at the Tiyoli concert hall Thursday
evening. The boys had evidently
trained well for the bout and neither
was badly fatigued when the bell tap
ped for the end of the last round.
They fought with clean breaks and
hitting in the clinches barred. This
probably handicapped Siddons some
what. as II was the general opinion
that with straight rules he would
have landed the long end Of the
money. This, however, is a mere con-
lecture, as Hayward himself has prov
en- a PRETTY good mixer. Hayward
was by far the faster of the two men.
both with his hands and on his feet,
but this speed was Offset by the su.
perior ring ~generalship Of Siddons.
The white boy showed the advantage
Of a long career by the manner in
which he blocked the colored lads
blows.
Hayward seemed to lack hitting
power, In fact, this has been one OF
the black boys chief weaknesses
since he has been boxing here. He
has a great pair of shoulders and
would undoubtedly make a great hit
ter If he had the proper coaching in
that direction. Siddons, on the other
hand, had a terrific "wollop" but was
unable TO land IL with any effect. Had
one OF them gone home 1t would have
very likely have sent Hayward into
dreamland.
Heyward's most effective blow was
a straight left punch. It is on the or
der OF Kid Fredericks' famous lab
and II he could put a little more steam
behind 1t, some damage would result
to his opponents.
George Arbuckle refereed the fight
and did a satisfactory job. His decis.
ion, when. at the end of the twentieth
round, he declared the bout a draw,
met with the entire approval of the
adherents of both men and of the
principals themselves.

WIDESPREAD
Chicago Fire Brought Sorrow to All
Parts of the Country.


No catastrophe of modern times has
been so widespread in its effects as
the Iroquois theater fire in Chicago
December 3Oth OF last year. Occurr.
ing as it did, in the holiday season,
when the city was filled with visitors,
many Of whom were there purposely
to see the play which drew so many
to their deaths, there was hardly a
town or hamlet in the United States
which does not have someone who
mourns for the death of friend or rel.
alive In the terrible holocaust. Louie
Blodgett, of this city, found the names
OF several old friends of Waukegen,
ILL.,, among the list of dead. Mrs.
Harry Boggs lost a GEAR friend, a
young lady. Trifing Incidents pos
sibly saved the lives of others well
known here.
A letter to Walker Wells from Har-
ry Ray, who spent the summer here
last year, stated that he and Roy
Spinning had arranged to take Mrs.
Wells and her three daughters to the
performance that afternoon. A slight
indisposition on the part of Mrs. Wells
caused them to abandon their plans.
Eually fortunate was the escape Of
Mrs. Pomeroy, the mother of Mrs.
DR.. Stoll and Sterling Pomeroy, OF
this city. She had some friends in
from the country, their visit being
principally for the purpose of seeing
that matinee performance of MT.
Bluebeard' at the Iroquois. 1t hap
pened that the party was delayed in
getting to the theater and when they
did arrive all of the seats were TAX
en-. They were much disappointed and
urged the doorkeeper to find them
places, il possible, but he said there
was positively no vacant places, as
even all Of the standing room was TAX.
en-. Much disappointed, they went on
to another thater nearby. Not until
they came out did they discover how
very fortunate they were that they
did not gain admission to the fated
building.
Bert Shorey, of Billings, formerly
a resident Of the Judith Basin, was
In Chicago and had a ticket to the
play at the Iroquois, but a business
deal prevented him from going and
probably prevented him from being
one of the victims. Thus it Is all over
the United States. There is some in
cident to connect almost every city,
town and hamlet with the great trag-
edy in the Lake City.

gether with the light wheat receipts.
which were only 2 cars. caused strength
in the wheat pit. and there was scarce
ly no wheat offering, buy orders pre-
dominated, and from the tap Of the
gong the big crowd began to force the
shorts to cover and n pandemonium
reigned in the pits. The short cover
ing and liquidation caused a speedy
advance in prices. May wheat reached
the dollar mark early in the session
while July sold to SSAc where there
was some profit taking and the market
at this writing is holding steady at a
fraction below the high point of the
day.
Corn and oats also sympathized with
wheat and are holding strong and
steady at about one cent above yes
terday's prices.
Pork and provisions are the weak
factors and outside of some selling by
the packers there is scarcely nothing

GRANGEVILLE. Ida, May 19.-Late

lee near Crooks Corrall has just been
received here by messenger coming
from Whitebird. While the story is in
substance the same an was reported in
an earlier dispatch II was learned that
Thomas Myers ID the name OF the man
who did the shooting instead OF Mike
Myers, as was 1rst reported. The later
detail also carries the story as to the
cause Of the shooting. Both Myers and
Brownlee have been running stock on
the Hall ranch and another report
states that Myers is believed to have
gone suddenly insane.
Jarrett who was wounded in the arm
an exhausted condition, falling from
his horse he was unable to give much
detail with reference to the shooting
except to state that he and Brownlee
were on their way from the ranch 60
ing toward Crooks Corral. When near
the Corrall he stated that Thomas
Myers jumped out from behind the
brush alongside of the road and began
firing. Brownlee fell dead from the
horse and though he, Jarrett, was
wounded he managed to turn his horse
!, back toward the Hall ranch which he
reached after a hard ride. Richard
Crook who was at the Hall ranch i'm
mediately went to Whitebird to send
/ word to the officers here. Ray Gordon
and DR. Foskett OF Whitebird immedi.
, ately started for the scene of the shoot
ing but no word is expected from then

he thought Myers would make no re
