RITCHIE A PUNCHER

There are discussions on all sides now as to who is the best puncher among the list of lghtweights Leach Cross is the leader with those who express opinions Just is an undecided issue, but taking 1t from what Willie Ritchie can do with wallop one who ought to know, the title holder must be there with the ''kick." No one IS better able to qualify as an expert in the matter of heavy wallopers than Joseph Mandot, late chaser of the championship. Joe has fought them all including Rtchie and Cross and he is one who ought to set at rest any doubt that Ritchie is just a boxing champion.
 Not only is Ritchie a great boxer" said Mandot the other day, "but he is terrific hitter Ritche carries his punch with him at all times and can get over one at almost any stage of the game.
 When I boxed Willie Ritchie 10 rounds in New Orleans I felt that had the better of the bout for at least nine and half rounds. l was going great against Ritchie, and 1 felt I had him beaten up to within 30 seconds of the last round. Then some thing happened to me. Ritehie crossed

The meeting was called to order at s 80 o'clock D. m by C. R. Peck, acting as tenn porary chairman, who stated the object of tne meeting as fellows:
 That claim (the Chicago Bench) had been staked by the original locators; that claim had been sold for a large sum of money to citizen of this district; that claim had been in possession of this party from the date of purchase; that title to ownership had never been questioned; that assessment work to the value of hundreds of dollars had been done upon the claim, either by the owner or by the Yukon Gold Company, as lessee, when, of a sudden, party tor parties) attempts to take posses sion of that claim by merely putting down a few stakes and making a few pencil marks, claiming that the property for which large sum of money had been paid and on which much work had been done was no longer in the possession of the party who had purchased it, but was theirs by right of relocation or restaking; whereupon this party who had purchased this claim promptly took the matter before court, which course should always be followed in community having court of justice, but absolutely no satisfaction was obtained. Ac cording to the courts decision, as we under stand 1t, this party has practically no right to the claim so far as this (Iditarodl court will recognize. That being the case num- Der of mine owners and laymen in this dis trict feel that their claims may be at the mercy of possible claim jumpers. He fur ther stated that it was possible that this party received all the satisfaction that was due him, but that the meeting should hear of the things that took place at court, or around court, to see whether or not due satisfaction was obtained, and if not, to see

what can be done; that this was not miners meeting, but mass meeting of the citizens of this community; that any body could come and that no secrecy was intended; and that any suggestion for i'm proving or correcting conditions would be discussed before the meeting.
 The next order of business was the selec ton of permanent chairman and secretary, c. R. Peck and M H. Guise being called upon to fill these respective positions.
 The chairman requested that anyone who had anything to say in connection with this affair speak up; that he would call upon no one in particular to address the meet ing, and that no doubt there were some who knew considerable about this affair.
 Mir Bain of Discovery requested to be advised as to what the contention was over the Chicago Bench claim, whereupon Mr. Marston requested that Harold Seddon be called upon to explain the contention over this claim.
 Mr Seddon set forth very clearly the position in which he and other claim own CTS or laymen had been placed by this de cision; that he was claim owner and op orator; that there had recently been a case of claim jumping or relocating; that he had interests alongside the claim in question, and that he might any day find his claim in the same position; that up until the present time Thomas P. Aitken had been considered as one of the owners of the Chicago Bench that if a man didn't do his assessment work, then 1t was open for relocation, but that if the owner performed his assessment work, and if anyone staked on such claim, then it was plain case of claim jumping. If you own, or buy, or stake, or your partner stakes claim, and you have done your assessment work, and somebody comes along and jumps that claim, what action can you take? That is the question before us tonight; that if anyone were to jump claim for which you had paid S2O,OOO or 30,000, you would nat

that right of his over to my jaw and imagined that someone had turned off all the lights It was the hardest punch I was ever hit in my life, and guess I've gotten a few tough wallops in my career.
 After Ritchie landed that clout I was through. Of course l started to duck in- stinctively, and I managed to avoid further collision with Ritchie's right, but that one punch almost put me out of business.
 'I'll tell you one thing-Pd as soon have a sour -dispositioned mule kick me as have that Ritchie boy hit me that kind of a wallop again. Ritchie hurt me more in the last 30 seconds of our 10-round bout than Rivers hurt me in the two 20round con- tests l had with him.
 That right hand cross of Ritchies is the toughest proposition that l ever went up against Getting hit by Ritchie's right cross is, to my way of looking at it, about the same as being caressed by a policeman's night stick Of course l was never caressed by any policeman's night stick, but Rltchie did hit me, and if were given my choice I'd rather take a chance on the night stick"
