Freshman Congressman John
Meyer OF Baltimore has had his
first brush with the press. A Bal

by stating that Meyer was so un-
initiated that he didn't know wheth-
er to cast his speakership vote for
Sam Rayburn, Democrat, or Joe
Martin. Republican. Meyer hit the
ceiling. but he was claimed down

Gross and by Rayburn, himself

Incidentally, Meyer has stated
himself with capable assistants,
including Mrs. Cecilia Cohen and
Lawyer Harry E. Touhey, in addi

TRAFFIC RELIEF AHEAD
After a years delay, something
is about to be done to the serious
traffic bOttleneck in the vicinity
of the Glenn l.. Martin airplane
plant \ dual, four-lane road CON
Meeting the Martin plant with
Route 40 has finally been agreed
upon by the Maryland Roads Com
mission and the L. S. Public Roads
Administration. This agency will
allocate S125O0O of its state-aid
funds to this job. The total cost
will run about $350,0OO for the
two-mile speedway. The main
part of the right-of-way was given
to the State by Martin.
The daily traffic jam arising
from the tremendous increase in
employment, not only at the Mar
tin plant but also at large neigh
boring factories, was giving con-

General Woodruff also gave an In
tereSting account OF the hardshipS en-
dured by the wounded after the battle

Owing to the rapldity of the move

attendance until the arrival Of How
ards medical officers three days after
the fight. Then our wounds were
dressed in the field and the following
day we started for home via Deer
Lodge. The wounded were carried In
army wagons.
The army wagon is not luxurious
vehicle. but as an exercising machine
for invalids It has few equals and
no superiors, and as there we're no
roads and the route lay across a
bunchgraSs country, you can imagine
that the wounded did not enjoy the
excursion. Their bodies we're filled
with aches and their hearts with de-
light when they met a party Of citi-
zens from Butte, Deer Lodge and
Helena, accompanied by doctors. sup

spring wagons. which we're not the

In the world.
The trees honor the name Of Sc

nounced the whole affair as a stupen-
dous biIk-a mere swindle TO get win
ter'S grub.
Fought two hours said he, as he
nervously licked the pencil point to
make his passbook entries legible, and
fairly Kissed his scorn, and nobody
hurt. Cons eye swollen, his nose
knocked a little, and his lip cut
that's all, and Dwyer hadn't bit Of
blood about him
HE had paid IS to see the affair
and he felt he was swindled because
no eyes had been gouged out or that
nobody had been killed. With steadily
increasing indignation, he crammed
his book into his hat, and whirled his
lash about his donkeys with vicious
expected flow Of blood at the prize
fight.
AFTER 40 rounds had been fought
the mill was adjourned by the sheriff
Of the county, who had acted as referee.
until 9 o'clock on Saturday morning
and Tim and his disciples had to see
1t out. They returned sadly disjointed
In spirits-and by spirits-and brought
the intelligence that Con had not
come to time in the morning and
Dwyer carried off the belt. Most OF
them pronounced the whole thing a
swindle, and In order not to be en-
tirely disappointed, they had, under
the inspiration of Montana strychnipe,
improvised sundry mills on private
account But for that Tim would have
returned broken-hearted.
Collision Suggested
His description OF the fight was
less lucid than original; but Dryer
was an old chum and Tim was proud
Of the victory. think it probable
that there was some collision between
the combatants, as the bets were much
the heaviest in favor of Con and he
was not yisibly disabled the first day.
THE sale of tickets of admission
realized over $4,000, and probably
$4,000 was staked on the fight"
Con Orem, who took part In this
fight, evidently forsook the ring for
the more honorable vocation" the
editor Of The Post referred to, for
he remained a resident Of Montana
and followed the business Of black
sEnithing for many years.

Bic Hole Battle Remarkable in
Many Respects; Soldiers Really
Knew What Hardships Were

Of the Bitter Root mountains, and end
ed at the north end of the Bears
Paw mountains, in what is today
Blaine county, Montana, when Chief
Joseph surrendered to General Miles.
The campaign was the outcome OF
the Nez Perces under Joseph refusing
to give up the Wallowa valley in
Idaho to the white settlers.
Joseph, after fighting two or three
small battles, evaded General Howard.
who was after him, and was attacked
near the headwaters Of the Big Hole,
across the mountains from the Bitter
Root mountains, by General Gibbon
and his small command The battle
Of the Big Hole, while distinctly a
victory for the Indians, nevertheless
crippled Joseph's command badly. He
continued his retreat across Montana
in a most mastery way until Miles
forced him to a decisive fight In the
Bears Paw.
That soldering was no easy job In
those days Of the Indian wars may
be gathered from the following de-
scription of one years experience,
written by Gen. Charles A. Woodruff
some years before his death.
General Gibbons command, to
which I then was attached. left Fort

to make a living some other way
than by prize fighting, and Is candi-
date for sergeant at arms in one OF
the houses of the legislature.
1T may be added as clincher tx
our appeal for law against prize
fighting that Con Orem and Jimmy
each not only admits but freely ex-
presses the idea that such law should
be passed. We wish the boys good luck
in their endeavor to pick up green
backs in some more honorable voca-
ton"
Given Notice in East
Not only did this fight attract at
tention in the territory, but it was
given publicity in the east through
the writings of A. K. Mcclure, who
as representative Of the New York
Tribune and the Franklin Repository,
was then travelling over Montana. In
letter written by Mcclure. dated
Union City, Montana territory, Oct.
20, 1867, to The Tribune and The Re-
pository, and which, with other letters
by him were later published in book
form, Three Thousand Miles Through
the Rocky Mountains" he told Of the
Nevada City fight in the following in
teresting manner:
1.-THE quiet, sober ways of Union
City were sadly broken UP on Friday
last. 1t was the day Of the prize fight
near Virginia City, IN which my par
ticular friend, Con Orem, and Jimmy
Dwyer were the heroes of the mill.
What is here called the lingering
prejudices of early education prevent

of the 'roughs' and sports Of Mon
tana. had declined the honor of
calling the time and deciding the COM
plicated questions of the ring for the
combatants, and had almost forgotten
all about it until Friday morning left
me deserted.
Miners Take Leave
1.-THE mines were empty, the teams
were not visible winding around the
hills and only here and there was to
be seen a disconsolate son of the
mountains. They had taken French
leave as the surest way Of getting off,
under the leadership of Tim, the jolly
