If Johnny Kilbane, featherweight
champion, doesn't take on a real
fighter shortly he is going to be dis
credited among the fight fans. The
Cleveland battler was fought to
draw by Johnny Dundee in his last
fight, and many of the wise owls at
the ringside declared the New York
boy was a lot better than KiIbane.
Evidently KiIbane doesn't like the /
Dundee game. He passed up a re-
turn match, and Dundee was forced
to go out of his class and take on
AID Wolgast.
Kilbane is business man before

the coin he earns with his fists, and
when his ring days are over he will

NEW oVERTURES MADE
BY TELEPHONE COMPANY

Mitchell, s. D., May 24.-The Dakota
Central Telephone company has made
an, effort to effect a compromise With
the city council concerning the differ
ences which exist on the telephone
franchise situation. The company de-
sires to submit, the question of rates to
the railroad commissioners. If that
does not suit the council, 1t will agree
to the appointment of an arbitration
board of three members, one to be
named by the company, one by the city
company agrees to pay up all its in
debtedness to the city and withdraw it's
defense of the suits ~instigated by the
city. 1t declines, however, to accept the
clause in the newer franchise providing
for the purchase of the plant by the
city, on the ground that this would
be a loud on the title of the plant and
affect its financial transactions.
Mayor Hitchcock stated today that
he has gone owe the proposition OF
the telephone company thoroughly, and
does not believe that there is much in
it. This means that the proposed mn
nicipal telephone proposition will be
made the target of a fight. The special
election will be held June 10. and ex-
ternal indications are that the citizens
will stand by the council in its efforts,
to solve the question.
