FRED G. HUNT, FORMER q NE
MINNEAP0LIIAN, DEAD

Fred G.. Hunt, formerly a, well known
Minneapolis newspaper man died early
today at the North Side hospital, Chi
cago. For the past three months the
serious nature Of a nervous malady with
which he was afflicted had become more
and more apparent and about two
weeks ago he was forced to seek treat
ment at the hospital where he died. Mrs.
Hunt survives him. 49,, =. i, - -. ID. !
In many ways Mr.. Hunt was one Of
the best Informed and brightest news
paper men ever connected with the
twin city papers. He came here from
New York late in the eighties and was
associated with various papers till a
| year ago, when he went to Chicago to
join the staff Of the Inter Ocean. At
the time Of his death he was connected
with the Milwaukee Journal. In the
twin cities he was best known for his
| work as a dramatic critic, which was
especially congenial to him. He had
been with one of VT. Carleton's oper.
| attic companies for several seasons and
had filed other engagements, which
gave him a special line of information
and keen interest in stage affairs. He
was g painstaking, forceful writer.

THEY FIGHT WOLVES.
Miners Have Exciting Drive Through
Michigan Woods.

EWIN, Mich, March 24.-Pursued
by a pack of a score or more wolves,
George Bigge, living at a copper min
ing location in Ontonagan county, re-
ports a narrowing experience. He
was returning from Ontonagan with a
sleigh load OF provisions. 1t was after
nightfall when he was nearing Union
bay, when he was startled by the howl
ing of wolves in the distance. He at
tempted to drive faster, but as the
road is up a heavy grade nearly all
the way, he was unable to make much
better progress.
Bigge was not armed, but on the
dashboard Of the sleigh was a lam
tern with a reflector. He grabbed this
and turned it on the wolves. The light
frightened them and they fled. Gain
ing courage and a keener appetite,

CRIPPLED CONDITION OF ARMY
All Branches Short on Commissioners
Officers and Enlisted Men-More
Recruiting Necessary.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a
The attention of the president has
been called to the fact that the line OF
the army is somewhat crippled by the
large number of commissioned officers
absent on detached duty and by the fact
that few of the companies of infantry OF
cavalry are up to their authorized en-
listed strength. This is especially sc
in the Philippine islands, where there
are companies out on field service
which are reduced to twenty or thirty
men, or about to one-fifth to one
third of what the enlisted strength
should be. There is no help for this.
apparently, especially in the Philip
pines where the situation might be-
come serious in the event of some dis
turbance. 1t is likely that an effort
will be made to have the recruiting
system improved and the distribution
Of newly enlisted men perfected sc
is to increase the strength of those
commands, raising them to a condi-
ton which will give them greater
value in military operations.

so much trouble in Chicago. Some OF
these islands are uninhabited and
would make ideal places Of Danish
ment.
A peculiar controversy is on in this
city between the prosecuting attorney,
w. F. Waite and the police and dep
uty sheriffs of the city and county,
over the tramp question. 1t is said
that the county is overrun with
tramps, and that large numbers are
convicted and kept in Jail every year
at heavy and needless expense to the
county. The prosecuting attorney,
therefore, refuses to prosecute any
tramps brought before the courts and
the police are obliged to let them go.
The deputy sheriffs, therefore, receive
no fees, and the city is in turmoil.
A swindle is being worked through
this region by two strange young men
who offer twenty-five books to be paid
for on an installment of so cents each,
when all is paid a handsome piece of
furniture to be given as a permium.
Many people paid several installments
amounting to as high as SO, but re-
ceived no furniture. The books are
said to be extremely trashp.

FOR PROTECTION OF TRANSPORTS

The mysterious causes of the fire on

uniforms and arms packed in creased
cloths. The reports also say that an
other box, which was being transferr-

to some new restrictions intended to
protect the transports from such dis

is the day selected for the special
election called for the election of new
officers for district No. 5, United Mine
Workers of America. There are from
five to eight candidates for each Of
fee and the campaign never was as
lively as in this case. Patrick Dolan's
name appears among those nominated
for the presidency, but during the
brief and spirited campaign Dolan
himself took no part in the election
eering and wire pulling. He has de-
clared his intention to continue at the
head Of the organization, no matter
what the result of the election may
be. Vice President Uriah Belling-
and several members of the district
board have also decided that they will
not retire from office even if defeated
at the election today Dolan has many

defeat the other candidates for the

ton is still doubtful at this time

Sheriff D. H. Moseley is not taking

not expected than an attempt to res

been deemed advisable to guard
against anything of the kind The
Ada county Jail will be guarded night
and day and an extra force of men
will guard the institution nights. AS
a further safeguard several arc lights
have been installed at the court house
which will keep the Jail surroundings

Prisoner Meyer has no complaint tC
make about his treatment in the Ada
county Jail. He has the largest Gel
in the institution and his quarters are
comfortable. In fact, he has more
than one cell to move about in. He has
plenty of ROOM He is very fortunate
in being placed in the Jail here just
at a time when there are three Other
inmates and one of them, being a
woman, is in another part of the insti-
tuition.
The officers of the Jail say Meyer
appears sullen. That is a natural sup
position on their part if they do not
know the man. He is naturally of q
quiet mien, not much of a hand tc
talk. He has always been known as
a better listener than talker.
1t is said he has a good appetite.

Denver Pugi|ist Meets Maurice
Thompson March 80
BEFORE THE SPOKANE ATHLETIC CLUB
TWO MEN RECENTLY FOUGHT A
FIERCE 20-ROUND DRAW
PARKER FAVORITE.

SPOKANE, Wash, March "a
Maurice Thompson and Kid Parker
are working hard for their bout at
the Athletic club on March 80, and the
sentiment of fight fans who have seen
both men working is about evenly di-
vided as to their chances for success.
There is no doubt that their former
meeting when a 20-rOund draw was
fought at the Elks' temple, was one
of the best fights ever seen in Spokane
and indications are that the club arena
will be taxed to it's capacity on the
night of the fight.
Kid Parker recognizes the fact that
Thompson is a hard nut to crack, and
for that reason is working hard to put
himself in the best of condition for
the coming bout Every day he goes
through hard training at the Pastime
club. keeping Joe Cotton and Kid
Harrison busy every minute while
they are pitted against him.
The training is varied by bag
punching, handball playing and shad-
ow fighting, so that during his sew
eral hours grind the Kid is on the go
every minute. Joe Cotton, who is
himself a fighter with a good record,
has to exert himself to the limit In
many of the spectators expect the
Kid to land a punch any moment
that will put Cotton down for the
count.
Thompson Also Working.
THOMPSON. who is also training at
the Pastime club, generally takes a
run of several miles into the country
and in the afternoon works out with
Gregg and Scaler. The coming fight
means a great deal to the Butte boy,
and he expresses confidence that he
will land the sleep producing punch.
The fight put up by Parker the last
time the two men met was a revelation
to Thompson, so that he is overlooking
no chance to be at his best on March
80, when the fight is to be pulled off.
Both men have agreed to make 1876
pounds, and in order to do this they
will have to work hard, as it is diff
cult to take off weight in this weather.
Thompson would have preferred a
pound or two less, but thought he
could not get down in time and still
keep in good trim.
