AS to the principals on the ENTER

Walket-bOth are ready, and in the
language of their respective camps,
"rarin to go"
Walker, the ambitious mid
dIeweight champion who hopes
to annex the next higher title,
finished the strenuous part Of
his training yesterday. LOugh-
ran dispensed with similar work
the day before. Both are said e
by experts who watched the
final workouts to be in top"
condition.
The bout will be ten rounds to
a decision with Loug ghrans light
heavyweight crown at stake. Be-
cause he is so sure he can lift it.
the heavy handed challenger has
agreed to take only $4,000 IL he
succeeds-an amount that would
barely cover his training expenses.
Walker figures the difference can
be more than made up later on
with the title in his possession.
If he loses, Walker will receive
$4,000, to be EaiG out of Lough-
rams gross cut which will run in
excess Of 80 per cent of the total
gate.
There was little doubt today
that LOughran will be able tO
make the weight-175 pounds.
Walker will go I'm at close to

Anti Tick War
on Near Miles

Experiments In the battle against
the dreaded wood ticks are being car
ried on this fall and winter in the vi
cinity of Miles City on q large scale.
Recently an additional planting Of
about $500 parasitized ticks was made
at the colony q few miles out of that
city. The planting were made by Fred
Morton and Glen Kohls, assistants at
the state laboratory at Hamilton, as
sisted by DR.. A. F. Baldwin of Miles
City.
Into each tick planted has been
placed 10 parasites. The purpose Of
the planting is to ascertain the ability
Of the ticks and their burden to with
stand the rigors of q winter in that
region. They will be allowed to re-
main in the colony until May next
year, when an examination will be
made to determine the degree of vital
ity left and what effect the parasites
had on their hosts.
Previous ~lantings have been made
in the colony near Miles City in the
past few years. AS yet, 1t Is stated,
nothing definite has been determined
with reference to the activities of the
insects. 1t is pointed out, however,
in the previous experiments the para
sites have indicated their ability to
withstand the winter conditions, and
surviving have given cause for hope
that eventually they will be able to
continue their warfare upon the dead
ly tick in any and all kinds of weather
conditions.

The only stipulations made by Mrs.

ory Of her mother: ca that the city
be requested TO cede q strip OF land 10
feet wide around the plot. thereby in
~creasing It's size; 90 that the old build
ing now setting on Alder street be re-
moved to the plot and set on founda-
tions with q full basement under
meath it.
The old building now on Alder street
has an unusual history connected with
1t. It's windows now are boarded up.
Slabs Of wood have barred the doors
for many years. But long ago the old
house played an important part In the
life Of the little community. It was the
first chapel In Missoula. At that time
1t was located on the block where now
stands st. Patrick's hospital.
The house wa constructed by Major
Mccormick to hold his claims there,
and was later given by Major McCor-
mick together with the blocks of land
upon which st. Patrick'S hospital,
Sacred Heart Academy, and st. Francis
Xavier church now stand for a nominal
sum to enable the Jesuit fathers to
establish q school, church and hospital.
In 1873 the house became the chapel
house and In it the late Father Pal
ladino conducted the first services. It
was also used as the first school, the
first hospital and the first courthouse
In MiSsOula.

over there IN the darkness, waiting,
too. Was he armed? Slade did not
know, but he was taking no chances.
How long they stood there Slade
could not guess. Not long, he thought;
certainly not as long as 1t seemed.
They heard q step outside, hesitant,
slow. The door opened and they saw,
darkly, vague against the shadows OF
the hall q mans figure.
"Slade?" It was Marsh's voice.
Bland fired once and Marsh dropped
inside the door, kicking 1t shut. Then

heard a gasp, q little chuckle, the
sound Of struggling.

SCENE W THE SOLD room
an RLACH G2ECAI

as the guest of Gould and Fisk. Dur
ing the trip Gould led the CONVERSE
ton to the subjects of gold and crops
and sought to convince the President
that the government should favor a
higher price for gold since it would
give the farmers better price for
their crops, thus making better bust
ness for the railroads and the country
as a whole.
Believing that he had won Grant
over to his views, Gould embarked
upon his campaign and on September
2 began to buy gold in Wall street.
On that day he bought million and a
half dollars worth for Corbin and an
other million and a half for General
Butterield and Gen. Horace Porter
(both Of whom later repudiated the
purchase as having been made without
their knowledge). Within two days
gold went up two points and with
each point rise Corbin made $4,000.
Soon afterwards Gould invited Fisk
into the scheme, assuring him that
Butterield Tin charge of the sub
treasury in New York; and the Presi-
dent were ''fixed all right" So Fisk
began to, buy heavily. Immediately
gold began to climb and by Wednes-
day, September %, 1t stood at 140k.
At this point Grant, becoming dis
turbed by Corbin's part in the manipu-
lations on the exchange, sent word
through his sister to close out his
speculations as quickly as possible.
Gould tried to bride Corbin into disre-
garding the Presidents instructions
but Corbin refused. Then Gould, see
ing his scheme about to collapse, de-
termined to double-cross his own asso-
ciates. He gave secret orders to his
brokers to begin to sell gold. Fisk
kept faith with Gould and continued
to buy. When the market closed on
Thursday, September %, gold had
reached the high mark Of 145.
But worse was to come the next day
Friday, destined TO be known as
"Black Friday" The next morning
Fisk entered the gold room and loudly
gave orders to Albert Speyers, his
broker, to buy all the gold available
up to 145. Next he sent orders to
put it up to $50. By noon it was up
to 100 and Speyers, who had bought
60 millions, now had in his name for
Fisk's account half Of all the gold in
the country. Of what followed Fuller
writes:
1t seems absurd that the orders CIV
en- by Jim in Heath's back room and
executed by that jumping jack, Spey-
ers, should have paralyzed business, as
they did, from Boston to San Fran
cisco. Wall Streets bedlam was only
a sample. Thousands of men in ev.
cry city were reading the astounding
figures that came out of the ticker
tape-figures that told that they were
ruined. The fluctuations in the price
of gold were so rapid that 1t was i'm.
possible to keep up with them. No
Spectator outside the gold room had
a chance to protect himself. He gave
his order to buy or sell, and after that
he was in the hands of blind fortune.
He might as well have gone fishing as
to have tried to follow what was GO
ing on in that densely packed, suffo-
