SHERIFF STOPS
PRIZE FIGHT
Large Crowd Of Local Sports Who
Gathered at Bohemian Hall North
of the City to See Fast Bout,
Disappointed When Fight was
Stopped.

A large crowd of local sports gath.
cred at tie Bohemian hall north Of
the city Monday TO see what was to
have been a ten round bout between
Flanders, the we'll known Williston
fighter. The match had not been
very well advertised, as the promo
ters were afraid that the authorities
would stop the fight, nevertheless
quite a large crowd wended their
way to the hall two miles north Of the
city.
Two preliminaries had been arrang-
ed, but when a. rough rider appeared
and announo ed that the claw" was
on it's wav to stop the fight, the
scrappers lost no time in entering
the ring, and before Shariffs Schala-
berg and Dan Dougherty had appear
ed they had completed three rounds OF
very fast little fight and had just
started on the fourth. The fighters
were compelled to return to the city
with the authorities and the fight was
at an end.
The men were husky fellows 1Ae
started in to show the crowd their
moneys worth. Neither one had done
any damage to the other, however.
Butler slipped on the waxed floor once
and fell. Butler has been porter at
the Greek pool room and has been
engaged in a good many bouts.
The match was refereed by Art
McGahey of Williston, and it is sAal
. considerable money had been put up.
| Butler was getting the worst Of It

THE saving toSpokane merch-
ants in freight rates on goods
from the east, as a result OF the
rate decision OF the interstate
commerce commission, it is esti-
mated, will be from one to three
million dollars annually. As
this saving will enable rhe
merchants to sell their goods
cheaper, it is expected the ulti-
mate consumer will be benefited
by the reduced freight rates. Ii
the Spokane merchants try to
put all the saving into their own
pockets they can get rich and
retire in very rapid order. How
ever, several Spokane merchants
have already announced that
the consumer will receive benefit,
some say even to a greater ex-
tent than the amount OF reduc-
ton III the freight rates, since
the merchants, in figuring their
per cent OF profit, will no longer
have to make a profit on the
extra freight rates they hay e
been paying.
