Part of Proof
Holds u. S. District Judge
Bourquin In Decision
in a Land Case

Butte, Mont, July 81 William
Mahaffey was upheld in his con
tention that he took up a home
stead in good faith, although he
worked for the neighbors some Of
the time, and that he complied
with the law and made the enry
his home, according to a decision
handed down by Judge George
NJ. Bourquin in the federal court
yesterday when the court dis
missed the suit in equity brought
by the government to cancel the
patent to the Mahaffey homestead.
The evidence in the case was
taken in a hearing before the SEES
sion in Helena. Judge Bourquin
left yesterday afternoon for Hele-
ma and will hear a case to be tried
there today and on Monday will
open court at Great Falls. where
a session will be held for abort
two weeks.
The court criticised TIE witness
es used Ivy the government md |
spoke Of the increasing knowl-
edge" of one Of them.
Judge Bourquin also cleared up
a point in the homestead law re-
gardiEg fencing. The court held |
that if an entryman swore his land |
was all fenced and the entryman
used natural Instructions for some
of his fence he was justified in
using the expression in making
final proof. The decision in part
is given here:
In those suits to cancel United
States land patents because Sc
cured by fraud, the presumptions
are that the patentees did all re-
CURED to secure the patents and
that they were guilty of no fraud
and the burden is on The govern
ment to prove the fraud charged

spect due to government grants, |

 Champion Fears One Boxer There is just one professional boxer that he is afraid of and he is afraid of him because he thinks that boxer can best him and take the champion ship away from him and when John son thinks so it must be pretty near ly true, for he is certainly a good judge in matters of that kind.
 That particular boxer that Johnson is afraid ofw m never have an op- portunity to try his skill strength and endurance with Johnson as the demonstrator. That boxer is also a colored man. Then there are one or two more colored men in the boxing profession that have an even chance Of defeating the champion in a fair contest, and these colored men are the only ones in the boxing profession that have anthing near chance with Johnson.
 The public should know that. if they would only stop Co think When it comes Co putting white men in the ring with Johnson it is only for the purpose of drawing a big crowd of people who pay eXorbitant prices for tickets, and, besides that, spend a whole lot of money in travelling ex- penses, hotel bills the hire of motor cars and the los of their time from bushes and respectable society And it is an of these things that cuases them to feel SO bitter and disappointed after the exhibition is over They are filled with remorse, humiliation, dis. gust
 For thep roposed affair the shrewd and cunning managers, who have noth- ing to lose and everything to gain (for an a manager has that he might lose is his reputation for being shrewd cunning and able to get the public's attention and money), they have se- lected this time a young man whose principal attraction is of enormous size physically, inexperienced and ter

 First, he is too large, at least five inches too long or tall; second, he has twenty-five pounds too much weight and third sad lack Of experience in ! the game in which he is to take part.
 Johnson in Good Condition
 Of course the first two disadvant- . ages, height and weight the shrewd manager win try to make the public believe that these very two things are really what they depend upon to beat Johnson, and they will try to offset the third disadvantage Calack of experience )by telling you that John son is not as good as he used to be, or that Johnson is not at his best Don't take any stock in that. John son will see to it that he is good enough to take care of Johnson and not get defeated
 This young white man will not be at his best, according to the laws of nature and they vii assert themselves under all circumstances and in spite of everybody until he is twenty-five or twenty-six years of age. Meanwhile he should havep lenty of experience in boxing contests with men about bis ~own age or slightly older, and men that have all the ambition. en- ergy and stamina that goes to make up the champion boxer, and as near his own size and weight as it is pos sible to secure.
 He should have at least a contest once a week. Hhe should live out in ! the opeh, with regular hours. sensible diet, rum and tobacco not only elim- mated from his own existence, but he should be where there is no use Of those narcotics in his presence. He should do plenty of good manual Ia, bor in addition Co his boxing.
 He is entirely too long between ! joints. His bones and tendons are soft; his vital organs are easily af- ! fected His mind is simple; his power | of concentration is easily disturbed. 1 His knowledge ofc o-ordination co- | operation Is sadly neglected. In fact, the art of the profession which he is following Is not apparent in any way in his actions within the ring, and cannot be any part of his perform ance until it has been thoroughly drilled into him by good hard knocks and experience. In fact ,I can see only l one. reason for selecting him as the subject for Johnson to operate upon and that reason is really his disad- vantage of great height and weight
