 Marshal Grant had the U. S. prisoners at work several days last week, supply ing several decrepit old native women with fire wood, which act is certainly commended by all. It is pitiable at times to see these feeble old women out in the rain and snow, barefoot, gathering up sticks and little pieces of wood to pro vide fire enough to keep them from freezing to death. Life is as dear to them as to anyone, and humanitarian spirit suggests that they deserve being looked after.

The six round sparring contest be- tween Rod Mckenzie and Albert Couture at Coles Hall, Monday night was fair, clean bout from start to finish. There was no blood spilled and only in the third round, when Mckenzie landed a heavy blow on Couture's jaw, was there anything resembling knockout. Me- Kenzie kept the spectators laughing by his witty remarks in his broad Scottish accent. There was no betting. Couture, we'll known here, is about twenty years old and weighs about POO pounds. Rod Mckenzie is about fifty years old, weighs abot lSO pounds, and was at one time middlewei ght champion of Montana, his experience and ring generalship evenly offsetting Couture's reach. weight and youth. Eddie Lynch and Freddie Lewis boxed three fast rounds for preliminaries and all went away satisfied.
