but they have their place in ring
generalship and ring fighting.
Furr Won First Round
The first, fourth and eighth
rounds were Furr'S best. AS pre-
viously noted, he floored Halaiko
in the first and had the better of
some Berserk fighting in the
fourth. In the eighth the weight
pull seemed to tell on Halaiko, but
he was back in the ninth round
doing business with that annoy
ing left hand.
The tenth round was close, and
those who think that a right that
missed or landed on the shoulder
blades is better than a left that
found the mark gave the round
to Sir Phillip.
Great Bout Regardless
Regardless of the decision, the
fight was a hummer from start
to finish. Halaiko was a better
boxer. and Fur helped to make
himself look bad with his Pier 6
swinging against the weaving,
ducking Halaiko. Fur frittered
away a chance in the second
round. After landing a clean
knockdown punch, he fenced with
Halaiko in the second and took
a generous leathering. His fail
ure to follow other advantages
may be charged to the clever box
ing of his opponent.
Carey Wright won a siX-round
decision against George ESrick.
Many patrons argued long and
loud as to the cause of the quar-
rel. The one knockout of the
night went to Roy Manley, who
stopped Bud Fisher in one heat
with a left to the chin. Jesse
James outpointed Billy Lancaster
in a four-rounder and Sam Bacala
outpointed Chief Wilson, a Chero-
kee Indian from the North Caro-
lima hills.

NEW YORK. Jan. 21.-Carl
Hubbell, highest paid pitcher in
the National League, today re-
turned his signed contract to the
New York Giants.
The Giants refused to divulge
the terms of the contract but it is
known the lean left-hander re-
ceived $17,500 for the year 1884.
His salary was increased for 1885
and since Bill Terry has inaugu-
rated a better pay for better
play" policy, 1t is likely Carl's
stipend for 1885 will not fall far
short Of $40, 900.

For your agent had just said
in confidence to not more than
100 ring side patrons at Joe
Turner's Emporium de Swat last
evening:
"If Phil Furr won that fight,
I'm a Spanish dancer. Steve
HalaikO gave him a boxing
lesson"
The words had not died upon
these reluctant lips when Jimmy
Lake hoped into the ring,
glanced at the slips, swallows
two thirds of his stogie and an
nounced:

Singer for Furr, and the ref

A Dramatic Pause
Jimmy knows the worth Of
dramatic pause. He counted six,
recovered his stogie and cried:
The referee decides the win
ner-Furr wins"
The referee was Eddie Lafond
At first the crowd stilled into
stunned silence. Then it laughed.
Then resentment set the house
ringing with lusty boots. Now that
the hooting has stopped, on with
this Spanish dance.
It is true that Fur dropped
Halaiko for a count of one just
as the bell ended the first round.
It is true that when Phil was able
to land his right hand he carried
more dynamite. 1t was entirely in
order that Phil should do these
things for he had pull OF 9E2
pounds in weight, weighing 149 70
1892 for Halaiko.
Off Floor to Win
It may be argued that the bell
cheated Fur. but there is little
logic in such claims. Many a man
has gotten up off the floor to win,
and that is precisely what Halaiko
did last night.
FUR bled from start to finish
under the rain of Furnishing lefts
that Halaiko pumped into his face.
He missed like sucker as
Halaiko tented him and weaved
under his frantic swings. There
was one volley of swings fired by
Fur, six of them in all that didn't
come close to landing.
There were two occasions when
Halaiko spun Fur into the ropes
and nailed him with clean
punches. Maybe these little re-
finements in the art of beak bust
ing do not count in some circles

devious. From here, according to Nat
uralist Mills the trail entered the park
near West Yellowstone, crossing the
Madison river here and angling north
east toward the confluence of Maple
and Cougar creeks, over the southern
tip of the Gallatin range, to the north
, of Mount Holmes, to ford on the
Gardiner river and past Swan Lake

down the present saddle trail to NAM
moth From the Gardiner river to
Mammoth, Superintendent Norris, the
parks first road builder, followed the
old Bannock trail with his old Norris
Road"
After crossing the Madison, the In
dams could have dropped southwark to
avoid crossing the Gallatin range. This
would, however, have approached the
Norris geyser basin, and it has been
claimed that superstitious fear of the
geysers turned them into the noun
tains, though from the south slopes of
Mount Holmes the basin would have
been plainly visible to anyone who
ventured off the trail. Nevertheless, any
fear of the geysers apparently did not
apply to the giant hot springs area at
Mammoth, where the trail led close by.

route of the present Loop road from
Mammoth to Tower Falls. After cross
ing Tower creek the trail dropped to
the Yellowstone. crossed the river and
turned up the Lamar river valley, di-
viding at Soda Butte, the south branch
leaving the park by way of the Lamar
present highway to Cooke City and
across the Clark's Fork to the Bison
country.
Ranger E. r. Arnold of the Tower
Falls district reports that indications
of the old trail are still visible north
Of the Yellowstone river.
1t is probable that the trail was also
used by parties of other tribes, par
ticularly in the northern part of the
park. In 1870 the Washburn- Langford-
Doane party saw numerous Grow In
dams in the Yellowstone valley and
followed their trail into the park. A
well-defined trail led up the Gardiner
river from the Yellowstone to Mann
all the way to Tower creek, and con-
tinued up the Lamar river. On Aug.
is, 1870 Lieutenant Doane, scouting
ahead of his party, discovered Is lodges
of Crows near Tower Falls. i
The Bannock trail, after a quarter
century of disuse was plainly visible,
as late as 1895, as a deep, grassy fur
row stretching across the terrain. II
History's one great story Of an In
dian trek across the park Is, of course,
the famous retreat Of Chief Joseph and
his Nez Perez band in 1877, seeking to
reach Canada ahead of General How
ards troops. This expedition, faced by
necessity, perhaps gave no heed to old
superstitions in its need for haste fol-
lowing the Battle of the Big Hole in
western Montana. To Chief Joseph's
band is charged the only murders of
white men by Indians within the park,
at least after the gold boons of the
sixties brought considerable numbers
from the east.
Entering the park from the west, the
Nez Perez band crossed the Firehole
river in the Lower Geyser basin near :
The Fountain geyser. Here they came

Rudolph Holley Is
Taken to Wisconsin

Rudolph Holley, his feet so badly
frozen that he will lose all his toes
and possibly portion of each foot, left
Livingston few days ago in charge OF
three officers, for Juneau, Wis, where
he is wanted in connection with the
Staying Of a tavern operator in 1884.
Holley was arrested in BoZeman re-
Gently after leading southern Montana
authorities a twO-day chase through
30-degree- beloW-zero weather.
Arrested at Basin, Wyo., at the re-
quest of Wisconsin officers, Holley kid
naped Undersheriff F. H. S1agle of
Basin, forced him to drive him into
Montana, and then turned him out
in raging blizzard. Slagle suffered Sc
verely from exposure.
Coming to Livingston, Holley kid
naped Kenneth Andrews, civil engi-
neer, forcing him at the point of a gun
to drive him to Bozeman. Holley was
captured in a hospital when he sought
medical attention for his feet and
hands.
Authorities who accompanied Holley
to Wisconsin were forced to carry the
prisoner as he was unable to stand.
No amputation of the frozen members
was contemplated until Holley arrived
in Wisconsin.

That the Indians superstitiOnS pre-

faisproved by research work OF DIR.
q. Max Bauer, chief park naturalist,
and his staff. A recent issue Of Ma
kure Notes, publication of the nat
uralist's office, gives in some detail
the habits Of the Indians in the park
area
To quote DR. Bauer's foreword to the
articles on Indians:
tIn Superintendent P. w. Norris re-
port for 1880 ne describes a permanent
camp which he found that summer near
the east boundary OF the park, on the
headWaters of Miller creek not far
from Hoodoo Basin. According to SUI
perintendent Norris, the campsite
showed long usage; IL not continuous,
Il was repeatedly occupied year after
year for q long period.
I'VE now have evidence in the form
Of arrow heads, scrapers and other ar
tifacts from almost every part OF the
park indicating that Indians have been
at various times in all parts Of the

campsites are numerous. Recently a.
park ranger collected a flaker, several
grinding stones and various worked
pieces Of obsidian from a spot within
a stones throw of the Mud Volcano
and the Dragons Mouth
While it is true, according to DR..
Bauer, that there probably never were
many Indians residing in the park area,
the long winters with attending deepl
SHOWS and lack Of game in the high
country seem to have been the deciding
factor. There is evidence that with
the summer came hunting parties Of

countered another tourist party, killing
one man.
Chief Joseph and his followers turned
up the Yellowstone TO the lake, then
up Pelican creek and out of the park
by way Of Miller creek, somewhat south
of Cooke City, where a few pioneer
miners we're working. 1t is probable a
captured white guide told Chief Jo-
seph of the miners, whom the chief
desired to avoid.
During the expeditions stay In the
park band of younger Indians turned
north down the Yellowstone, killing
a man near Mammoth. They reached a
point about Yankee Jim's canyon,
north of the present Gardiner, before
turning back, crossing and burning the
Baronette bridge on the Yellowstone
within the park. Thus they eluded Gen.
eral Howard's troops, which were de-
layed in rebuilding the bridge with
lumber from Jack Baronettes house.
Adding Authorization to the find
ingS of DR.. Bauer and his staff, the
chief of the Bannock tribe from Fort
Hall, Idaho, visited the park during
the 1885 season, pointing out many
chief uses the white man name Of
Charles Peterson. He refused to divulge
his tribal name.
Chief Peterson became chief of his
tribe in 1927, after being a leading
tribal spokesman for many years. He
was accompanied in the park by his
wife and a son and his family.
The chief declared his ancestors often
visited the park, both summer and
winter He refuted the tradition that
the Indians Stunned the geyser basins
by recounting tales of how his grand
father cooked buffalo, antelope and
deer meat in the hot pools. Standing
on the shore of the West Thumb OF
