Going Up Against the Toughest

"Fayorlte Son" Says That Bat Lacks

tny James Edward Britt

The handsome purse offered by
Tex Richard and the rest Of the Gold
neld sports for the bout between Joe
Cans and Battling Nelson will do
much toward stimulating interest iu
the sport Of boxing an over the coun-
try The hubbub the coming bout
has created IN every city IN the United
states shows that the boxing game
sin has firm grip on the public.
II also shows that the calcium of
public interest Is focused on The light
weight class Promoter james Wanna
maker Coifroth started tho bali a.
rolling last September when he gave
Nelson and myself q purse Of 100000.
Up 10 that time that was the largest
purse ever given two little men. As
both Nelson and myself received not
only a guarantee Of $4,000, but a
percentage " the gate receipts. Il
brought the fighters end of the money
UP TO $1,000 odd dollars a record
which san Francisco will hold. in my
opinion, for years TO come. Tho Gold
FIELD promoters are certainly entitled
10 be considered great boosters for
the night game when one considers that
the population Of the mining camp IS
only 1000 or 5000.
When Cans and Nelson face each
other in the arena on Labor day IL Will

from the reports that come down from

Bad Prairie Fire.

Manfred News: Passenger train
1O5 is getting to be regular incendi-
airy fiend. Thursday it came through
at the noon hour and about a mile
east of town it threw some live Goals
across the track on the north side of
the rack and in a moment a raging
fire was kindled. 1t is prairie land
there and the grass was dry as finder
and as the wind was blowing a gale,
the fire swept on very rapidly. The
home of Rudolf Fiebisch was in a
direct line and would no doubt have
gone up in smoke had it not been for
the heroic efforts of the town people
and the nealOneighbors. who made a
valiant fight and soon had 1t under
control. Mrs. Fiebisch had taken her
children across little pond in the
river bottom and was herself engaged
in beating the fire back when the
neighbors came to her assistance. Mr..
Fiebisch was out threshing at the time,
but saw the fire at distance and has
tened home. The same train started
fire west of town. but we have not
heard whether any damage was done
or not.

BOARD CONDEMNS BONDS.

Bismarck, n D., Oct. 1.-The rail-
road and warehouse commissioners
nave just closed an important session.
Inc question of the approval of the
oonds OF elevators and warehouses
was taken up. 1t was found that sew.
eral bonds were signed by non-resi-
dents and also that several elevator
companies were foreign corporations
and had not taken out articles of in
corporation in North Dakota; also that
several of the bonds had been signed
with the co-partnership name instead
OF giving the individual names OF the
members OF the firms.
These bonds wero disapproved and
foreign corporations were ordered to
incorporate under the laws OF this
state and give new bonds to conform
to the law. The board also revised the
rules to correspond with the present
statutes and will require each elevator
to Keep a copy posted in conspicuous
place in elevators.
The board also decided that no per-
son would be accepted as a bondsman

ceive license again for period of

DRUGGED AND ROBBED.
Young Man in Winnipeg the Victim
of Thugs.

Winnipeg, Oct. Chicago tactics
are being introduced by some of the
boozing dens of the city in order to
separate victims from their money
more readily. Hardly day passes
that some poor victim is not picked
up on the street by the police, stupid
and half-dazed from the effect of the
drugs which have been administered
to him in some of the so-called hotels
which are permitted to do business in
the city.
Last night young man named Thet-
ford, from Toronto, was brought into
the station in horrible condition. He
had been loaded into cab by friends"
who quickly disappeared. The cabby
did not like the looks OF his fare,
and brought the young felolw to the
station, under the impression that he
had fit. In the station it was some
time before any sign of life could
be found. Animation seemed suspend
ed He was barely breathing, and no
pulse could be felt for a considerable
time, though every effort was made to
bring him back to consciousness.
1t was not liquor, but some drug
which had been administered, most
probably choral hydrate, the favorite
dope" of the thug, bent on robbery.
1t is thought by the police that the
drug had been administered in some
disreputable bar-room, the young fell
lows pockets gone through, after
which he was thrown out on the street.
A couple OF the gang representing
themselves as friends, had loaded him
into the cab. an easy method OF get
ting rid of him.
Yesterday afternoon. too. a second
man was taken to the Office OF one of
the city physicians, evidently suffering
from similar treatment. His condition
clearly indicated that while he had
possibly taken one or two drinks, some
drug had been given. He had fallen
on the sidewalk, or had been struck
with club, an seemed in a bad way.
He was fixed up and sent home. 1t is
expected that these thug tactics will
increase this fall, unless radical steps
are taken by the authorities. Return
ing fran hands and laborers from the
railroad gangs make excellent game
for this class of saloon. for the men
are usually thirsty, and all have mon
ey. Representation has been made to
the department for closer inspection
of the liquor dives. but as yet no steps
have been taken for a more careful in
spection OF the wares dispensed.

removing them. The removal of wigs
causes more confusion than any other
feature of the examination.
Heretofore the law was content with
knowing what country the immigrant
came from. The new law requires
that the alien tell the town or city
of birth.
The inspectors were compelled yes
terday to insert in the where born"
column such places as "Dunaszer-
dahely" and "Bodrogkeresztur." With
the arrival today of the steamer La
Provence aliens of the first cabin
will be compelled to answer questions
identical with those asked yesterday
at Ellis Island. Deputy Commissioner
Murray said that any alien of promi-
hence, such as Count Witte, would
probably escape the measuring pro-
cess, the immigration aficials TAX
ing his. word for his height, age, etc.
Many Hungarian women wear shoes
with 3-inch heels. 1t is thought that
to get their correct height the aliens
will have to be measured in their
stockings.
The inspectors we're content yes
terday to take the aliens word in an
swer to the question. Have you any
physical peculiarities?" They had no
time to verify.

d1tfon yesterday. The new immigra-
ton law which went into effect mix
ed matters. and the inspectors, who
under ordinary circumstances would
nave passed the three thousand i'm.
migrants on hand before noon, dallied
over the work until dark without ex.
aiming all of them. 1t was clearly
demonstrated that the staff at Ellis
island was not large enough to carry
out the requirements of the new law.
The new law, which is received with
favor by the Ellis Island force, was
enacted to prevent the use of
fraudulent naturalization papers, and
to prevent infirm and undesirable
aliens who get their tickets abroad
through healthy and we'll appearing
friends from entering the country
The law requires that pastors, filled
out by the immigrant himself. con-
tanning his complete description.

measurements, shall be affixed OPP

The department of commerce and
labor sent recently to the local affices
of all steamship lines the form of the
paster, with instructions how it
should be used. With the exception
of the steerage of the steamer Ma
jestic. all aliens passed through the
island yesterday had not filled out
the necessary descriptions.
1t was patent yesterday that the
enforcement of the new law will re-
quire three times the number of men
now on the staff of inspectors. The
inspectors. who were accustomed to
passing seventy-tive aliens an hour,
were unable yesterday to dispose of
more than twenty-five an hour. They
were somewhat confused in describ-
ing the complexion of aliens, especial
ly when line of Swedish immigrants

No immigrants were measured yes
terday, but the measuring stick will
be used today
The great delay in getting a de-
