Special to The Journal.
Fergus Falls, Mimi, July S.--Persons from
the flats west of the city bring news of the
tapping of an underground lake the farm Of
Mr.. Sims Burau postoffice. There are
flowing wells all that locality, and Mr..
Sims has just sunk from which large
stream of water is pouring out, and with 1t
come wagonloads of fish.
The fish are small and the smaller are
entirely without eyes, while the larger varieties
have very small organs of sight. The fish come
up by thousands, and up to Saturday four
wagonloads had been hauled away from the
mouth Of the we'll.
There is nothing remarkable about the tapping
of an underground stream lake, but the people
cannot understand how so many fish could have
lived there, and why they now come to the
surface.
Chapter 231 of the laws of 1905 was put into
application here Saturday when Joseph La Val
a few weeks on the charge Of burglary, ex-
pressed willingness to plead guilty and re-
ceive sentence. q.
The law provides that prisoners who wish to
do so plead guilty without awaiting indict-
ment by a grand jury, and, as the district
court does not convene until September, La
Valley decided that he might just as we'll begin
serving time at once. He accordingly admitted
his guilt and was sent to the St. Cloud re-
formatory for indefinite period. He had
broken into building at Dent and stolen some
money and few articles.
So far as known this is the first time that
this law has been applied in this state. Its en-
actment was made possible by the adoption of
the constitutional amendment relating to grand
juries. IT,. 49,,

.FISTIC CARNIVAL

The Miners Will See Two Inter-

Special to The Journal.

Butte, Mont, July 1.-Two important fstic
battles are scheduled for tomorrow at the two big
arenas on the flats near this city. Buddy Ryan
will meet George Herberts from California in the
afternoon while Aurelio Herrera and Charlie
Neary will fight for the fourth time in the eve
ming.
Herberts, altho without much Of record, is
a likely looking chap and seems to look perfect
ly conditioned. He is fast and strong, has
punch and If clever enough to land will give any
man his quietus Ryan is in perfect condition
and is naturally favorite in the betting. The
fight will draw enormous house, for the holt
day is one generally devoted to sporting events.
Herrera and Neary will meet for the fourth
time and each is determined to secure de-
cision Of kind, the coming contest carries
great interest Herrera has bad right hand
and this seems to be the only chance he has
to lose according to dopesters here, for in every
one of the previous contests Neary has failed
to show that he has anything on the Mexican.
Both men popular here, but the Mexican Is
probably the favorite.
Herrera announces that this will probably be
one of his last fights, he has given up all
hope of ever getting either Nelson, Britt or Cor
bett in the ring with him.
