shook hands again with jeanette, and
turning to the men who had jumped
into the ring. he said. THAT man can
beat any boxer in the world, He's
all right"
In the FIRST three rounds Clarke
landed as often as Jeanette. but his
punches were not hard enough to
bother the other
From that time until the end of the
contest jeanette had decisiyely the
better of every round 1t was purely
n matter Of greater weight and
strength. In the ninth and tenth
rounds Jeanette seemed TO be trying
for knockout, but his adversary evad-
cd the more dangerous blows and
|clinched much OF the time TO protect
himself.
No better exhibition OF skill and
gameness and courage has been seen
in a ring than Clarke's battle against
the big man. He took chances several
times toward the end OF the contest by
trying to land knockout, but the
others fast footwork bore him each
time to safety.
4 never saw so good a man as
Clarke at his weight said Jeanette
after the bout. as he stood under a
shower "lle took a lot of punishment
and ne stood up to it like a man. and,
more then that, he kept coming and
he made me fight believe he caa
whip any middleweight in the world. "
The bout was refereed by Tommy
Dixon, and mis- work as arbiter gave
satisfaction to every spectator

first preliminary was announced Bart

ton went two nopnds, when the bout
was stopped because Teddingtons

Lindsey OF Joplin easily bested George
Preston of Memphis. Lindsey was
speedy through all the six rounds. ard
toward the close he hit Preston almost

There was but a moments delay be

MUST REFUND TAXES.

Sioux Falls, s. D., May 22.-In accord
ance with an opinion rendered by Royal
c. Johnson, attorney general of South
Dakota, on case arising from Roberts
county, that and other counties in the
state will be compelled to refund to the
taxing districts of the counties large
sum of money as their share of certain
tax penalties and interest, alleged by
the attorney general to haye been il
legally collected. In Roberts county
the illegal collections are stated to have
extended back over a period of about
six years. In common with the other
counties in the state il has been the
practice in Roberts county to divide the
interest and penalties received from de-
linquent taxes between the state and
county general funds, and it is this prac-
tice which the attorney general says is
wrong, and intimates that proper refunds
will have to be made. So far as Roberts
county is concerned, just what the ag-
gregate refund will be cannot be esti-
mated as yet, but it will run into the
thousands of dollars. 1t has been COM
puted that under the opinion Of the at
torney general the city of Sisseton alone
will be entitled to $l,54S.37, while the
Sisseton school district will receive an
additional $l,5S5.55. Every village,
township and school district in the
county, as well as in other counties, will
come in for their share of these funds.

TO ENLARGE HoMEsTEADs.

When the bills were passed number
of years ago, enlarging the size of home
stesds from 160 to 800 and $40 acres,
none of them were made applicable to
South Dakota. 1t was contended then,
when the homestead sections were -four
ishing, and everything was booming,
that 100 acres was a great plenty for any
homesteadsr in this state.
But it has since been learned that
there is considerable territory in which
a half section, or even a whole section,
would be none too much under the con-
ditions which have prevailed for several
years past. So Senator Crawford re-
Gently introduced a bill providing for
800 acre homesteads in this state, on
semi-arid lands. 1t has been favorably
reported by the Senate committee, and
Its passage by both houses appears to be
