House is known far and wide in
this part of the state and expects to
show his friends that he can still de-
liver the goods. He has trained hard
for the coming match and will be in
the pink of condition when he enters
the roped arena.
Shorty Jacobs comes from Iowa,
with many victories to his credit. He
claims the middleweight championship
of Iowa and has defended it for three
years without a defeat.
Both men are of practically the
same weight, between $50 and 1876

game will come out during the strug-
gle.
A large crowd is looked for Satur-
day night to witness the match which

The officers returned to Plenty

Grating here. 1t seems that a large
variety of alcoholic stimulants were
found at several places of business,
both domestic and imported goods.
The home brew and moonshine were
destroyed but the fine imported stuff
was kept for further consideration.
The raids were made after dark.
The business men whose places
were raided have not yet been ar
raigned but it is expected they will
be presented to Court Commissioner
Belansh in the course of a few days.
Many of those arrested will be facing

al authorities have determined to ac-
tually put a stop to the vending of
intoxicating liquor in northeastern
Montana.

The main event will be a 1O-round

Arnold Lidahl Has Leg
Broken In Auto Accident

A serious accident occurred last
Sunday afternoon about four o'clock
when Buick touring car owned bv
Leander Miller of this city turned
turtle with four in the car on the Blue
Trail six miles east of here. A brok-
en- spring which slipped and blocked
a front wheel making steering impos-
sible was the cause of the wild ride.
The occupants of the machine were
returning from Goose Lake near
Westby, Mont, when the car ran
down an embanlment which was
about six feet high and turned and
ran up on the grade where it somer-
saulted and lay in its top, blocking
the road.
Three of the party crawled out
and Aronld Liedahl called to them to
lift the car as his leg was caught. The
three men lifted the machine high
enough to relieve the pressure and
Arnold crawled out. After the i'm
prisoned young man got on his feet,
his first words were: ''I am glad
am here"
The injured mans leg panied him
so that he had to be assisted until
another auto came along and picked
up the party. Ldahl was taken to
the Memorial Hospital in this city
and doctor was called, who upon ex-
animation, found that his leg was
broken below the knee. The leg was
set in place and the patient is get
ting along nicely at this time.
The auto which was badly smashed
was righted and hauled to town by
Louis Pierce.
All in the accident are still won

lives after calmly looking over the
past happenings.

Boxers Given Big Ovation
Dempsey appeared first in the ring
and was greeted by an applause that
could be plainly heard over the radio.
A loud deafening roar that rose and
fell to stiffness as the exclamation
took the chair in his corner.
Tunney appeared after a few min
utes and was greeted by another
great ovation as he entered the ring
and shook hands with Dempsey and
took his corner.
After donning the gloves both
fighters set themselves for the battle
of their lives with grim determination
In their faces but with not too much
assurance in either.
Round One
As the bell sounded the fighters
jumped to the center Of the ring and
fought cautiously, each apparently
feeling out the other before getting
down to the real fight No heavy
blows were struck.
Round Two
This round started out with Demp-
sey and Iunney exchanging a few
light blows, but getting faster as the
round progressed. Dempsey was hit
ting harder and harder but Tunney
was keeping out Of his way and
shooting his one-two to the head.
Third Round
The third round opened with Demp-
sey starting a vicious body attack. He
was following Tunney around the
ring coming in with a weaving mo-
ton that had Tunney worried. The
third round was Dempsey's and as
the bell sounded both fighters were
breathing hard

The fourth round found Tunney
again refreshed after his pummeling
of the previous round and he began
