TO KEEP ESTABLISHED ROADS.
Under Court Ruling, Roads Travelled
for Many Years May Be De-
clared County Highways.

Last week a delegation Of taxpayers
from Brush Greek, Encampment and
vicinity appeared before the county
commissioners in Rawlins with the re-
quest hat the established roads in the
district between E~ncampment Creek
and Beaver Creek, most of them 20 to
80 years old, should be ordered to be
kept open and not fenced up. as it had
been reported was the intention of
some parties who had recently taken
up lane in that region. 1t was repre-
scented that the condition was not a
local one, but general throughout the
county, and that IL their request was
not granted that the people who have
lived here for most of their lives and
been taxed for Il for improvement
on the roads, would have to be taxed
anew in a few years to pay for good
rights of way for roads through
fenced farms, and meantime would
lose the good roads that they have and
be compelled to travel further and
over newly-plowed tracks each year.
The question came up as to whether
or not h county commissioners could
hold a road that was not on a section
line, IL which had not been laid out
and advertised by them, and as to this
authority there was read a ~ynopsis of
a decision of the supreme court of
Wyoming in April, 1917. in a case

0'DOWN RETAINS TITLE IN BOUT
 WITH CIBB0NIS
AFTER TEN ROUNDS OF VICIOUS FIGHTING, MIDDLE WEIGHT CHAMPION IS GIVEN SHADE OVER CLEVER ST. PAUL BOYER.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 2l.-(H(- After ten rounds of the bloodiest kind of fighting, Mike O'DOwd, mid dleweight champion of the world was given the decision over Mike Gibbons. The referees verdict was upheld by the majority of those at the. rlngside.
 Ihe fight was vicious from the very sta1t Both men were apparently working for kno 3k0It which neither was able to put over. Each boxer was credited with three clear rounds with O'Dowd having the better of the battle after the fifth, Up until the end Of the fifth Gibbons was leading all the way and many believed that he would carry away the title.
 Gibbons hand was badly bruised in the sixth round and was entirely tut of commission in the eighth IL was thot at first that one of the small bones was broken but examination after the fight showed only a severe bruise. Sporting writers at the ring agree that GibbsonS is not the boxer that he was three years ago.
 The greatest crowd in the history Of St. Paul was at the ring t. watch the battle, ninety percent of those pl esent pulling for Gibbons to win. The receipts are estimated to b4 about $40,000. Both men were under the stipulated weight.

 At the close of the eleventh end the score was tied. Again at the conclusion of the thirteenth end Wal ly tied the score at l2 all when Fergy missed an easy shot which, had it been made good would have put the game on ice and gave President Suter and his skips a chance to win out on the big feed. Ferguson fluk- ed and in the fourteenth end Cath carts team scored two points.
 With the first two games gone against them, President Suter's men went on the lice last night deter mined to win. By winning both matches the deciding game would fall tonight between A. R. Heilig and George Preston. Carlsten came thru an easy winner over Doe" Dun ham, whose team was unable to get together The final scale in this game was Carlsten IT, Durham S.
