WEIGHT.
Big Crowd Saw Fast and Clever Bouts
at the WaIIa WaIIa Athletic Club
Last Night.

Three fast bouts at the Walla Walla
Athletic club last night gave $50 SPEC
tators a big show for their money. 1t
was rather Disappointing that the main
event between Jack Reilly and Ed
Barry did not go any longer but it was
fast and clever enough While it lasted.
Barry had to take the count in the
second round after Il minute and Il half
of boxing. Stiff body blows and a left
to the jaw settled his chances of WIN
ming from the Portland man.
The men entered the ring at 9: 40.
Tom Reilly. and Kid Parker were be
hind Reilly while jack Malyey and
James Trydall were in Barrys corner.
The difference in the condition of the
two men was APPARENT the minute they
peeled off their sweaters. Reilly
showing up in magnificent form while
Barry looked beefy. He clearly out
weighed Reilly by i pounds. Little
time was lost in selecting J. +. Burst
OF Seattle as referee and the men were
set at it.
They cut it loose from the start and
from the fast work it was seen tina It
if the 20-round journey was made it
would be Il miracle. Reilly showed
himself equally clever with both hands
while Barry confined himself with
leading his left and following il up
with a terrific overland right blow
that would have landed him winner
could he have gotten it home. One
solid jolt on the jaw sent Reilly
through the ropes but he came out of
the miN-un smiling and cut out the
pace. Referee Burst was kept busy
separating the men as after each eX-
change they evinced n fondness for
hugSing. Reilly was somewhat crit
icized for using his right in the clinches
but Barry stood the Gam and made no
complaint.
At the tap Of the bell for the second
round Barry set the pace but Reilly
condition and cleVernesS kept him out
Of danger and in minute he had

change. Barry was up at the count of

SYSTEM
Communication Of G.. s. Amsden
ON Primary system

Madison Twp, S. D.
Editor ~HERALD-ADvANCE:
Having talked with many
prominent republicans Of our
county since my last commun-
ication on primary elections, |
am convinced that many would
like to see that system tried in
this county this fall, and in con-
sideration of this fact [ wrote
to the Hon. Lee Slower, of Water
town, and he kindly furnished
me with a copy Of the rules
governing primary elections in
Codington county, which / hand
you for publication herewith,
and from his letter to me, which
you may also publish, he is more
than ep enthusiastic in his recon-
mendation of the system.
The situation presents itself to
me in this light: That the nearer
any community can get it's politi-
cal matters to the people the less
friction there will be. The ques-
ton that will be asked will be:
which candidate is the better or
| best qualified for the Office which
he seeks, and not to what faction
he belongs, or whether Nj. A
or Mr.. B. is backing him. His
success will not depend upon
whether or not he gets upon the
right side in the reorganization of
the convention" or whether or
not he throws his support to
some one whom he knows is not
q suitable person to fill an office
to which he aspires, just because
said person has a suf1i Gent politi-
cal pull to bias his candidacy.
After a careful consideration of
politics in general, and thorough
understanding of the ton.
l am in favor of trying the pri-
mary this fall in this county,
