Billings, Nov. 23.—Eight hundred lovers
of the Pugilistic game saw Mose LaFon
ttse of Butte beat down Charlie Johnson
of Philadelphia in the twentieth round
last night and again win the welter
weight championship of the West.
The contest was pulled off before the
recently organized Billings Athletic club,
the managers of which had prepared a
program of two preliminaries to spice
the main event.
The first was a four-round sparring
exhibition between Jack Wade and Kid
Oglesby. This was followed by a wild
and woolly bit of slugging between two
colored men, who were sufficiently funny
In their awkwardness to put the crowd
In a good humor.
It was 11 o'clock when the principals
entered the ring. Dune McDonald of
Helena was chosen referee. The men,
had weighed in at 3 o'clock in the after
noon. and Johnson just reached the stip
ulated weight, 140 pounds, LaFontise
being a little light.
Eddie Croot, Frank Freeman and Kid
Bmailey were in Johnson's corner, with
William Aughey as timekeeper. LaFon
tlse's seconds were Jack Wade, Jack La
IFontise, Kid Oglesby and Billy Langdon,
with Dr. Ironside keeping the time. Wal
ter Searle was the official timekeeper,
From the beginning LaFontise showed
his superiority, and there was never a
second when the result was in doubt. In
fact, had LaFontise tried he could have
ended the fight several rounds before he
did. as he deliberately ignored several j
Openings for knockout blows.
Johnson put up a game fight, but was I
chopped, down and in the last round sue- :
cumbed to a terrlfflc rain of blows, under j
which he went to the canvas three times, j
It was a clean-cut victory for the Butte j
boy, and his praises were sung on every j
hand by the sports from half the towns
in Montana.
* *
* j
George Gardner and Kid Carter have
been matched to fight 20 rounds in the
Mechanics pavillion at San Francisco, .
Pecember 20. Though the men are both j
in the heavyweight class, though a little |
too light, the 'Frisco managers are an- !
liounelng the event as a middleweight
championship contest. Just where the j
dope is figured out isn't announced in the I
card or today's dispatches.
It looks as if Kennedy and the club I
backers were trying to stave off the j
Jeffries-Sharkey go—a little scheme pre- j
dieted in these columns a week ago. j
Kennedy cannot see where either of the I
big fellows can make him any money in I
such a match, particularly so soon after j
the Ruhlin fizzle. So it becomes more i
certain every day that the match will not
be pulled off. at least not anywhere
near the date originally agreed upon.
* *
Another instance of the weakness of
the coast managers as a result of the
feeling aroused over the Jeffries-Ruhlin
fiasco is the fact that the Chicago poli
ticians and sports who were driven out
of the Windy City with their fight are
looking for a place in which to pull off
the White-Yanger fight. They offered the
bout to Kennedy, but the latter couldn't
Bee it.
Those "Chi" town men who were go
ing down to St. Louis and buy up the
JUissourl river town for the purpose of
pulling off the fight there were thrown
completely in the air after all theii
boastfulness.
Chief of Police Kiely announced that
the fight v. ould not come off, and the
foxy boatmen of the big bridge burg
pocketed the money sent there for cor
ruption purposes and left the Chicago
»ports to figure on how other peoplo
dared to get even on throw downs.
Because of the failure of the Chicago
men to make St. Louis a dumping
(round for their prize fights, the White
Banger affair has not yet been pulled off
and so great bas become the feeling
over the clash between the different
crowds of sports that no club manager
has been found willing to take the re
sponsibility of trying to pull off the
scrap.
* •
*
Articles were signed In Helena last
night for a 20-round go between Jake
Sanger of Helena and Jack Wade, light
weight champion of Montana. The con
test will be held the night of December
À, under Marquis of Queenbury rules.
The Helena theater has been engaged for
the. event. Yanger is already training
and Wade will begin work Monday.
There will be a purse of >2500 with the
Bide bets hung up on the fight which is
announced to be "strictly a sparring ex
hibition with nothing but science and
cleverness allowed." It looks as if Wade
was getting out of his old-time desire for
fame as a fighter and 4s going after easy
money to increase his bank account.

At 6 p. in. a party consisting of ex

which the former seeks to cause the

The prosecution was conducted on the

IRRIGATION A CURSE
SO CLAIM LOVERS OF THE GIANT
CACTI OF ARIZONA.
WATER KILLS THE ODD PLANT
Curiosities That Were Once the Pride
of the Desert Land Rapidly
Becoming a Thing of
the Fast.
Phoenix, Ariz.—The placing of water
on the arid wastes of Arizona land and
the consequent evolution from desert to
garden is driving to extinction one of the
strangest plants in all the world.
At a recent session of the territorial
legislature the cereus glganteus, the
giant cactus, better known as the
saguara peculiar to the soil of this terri
tory, was made the official flower of
Arizona. Not many years will elapse un
til a new choice will be made neces
sary.
When the first Franciscan fathers
journeyed north from Mexico they took
back a report of the great cacti which
covered the plains of the new country,
and told marvelous tales of the food
vhlue of the new piant, of the Indian
tribes who subsisted on the fruit of the
sagura, and of the wonderful benefits
in the liquor from its sap. As far as
the eye could reach stretched veritable
forests of these great sentinels of the
desert.
Now as the art of the American has
reclaimed, Çoot by foot, the miles of
former desert and the magic water has
made orange, peach and apricot orch
ards and great fields of alfalfa, the
saguara has fallen, and only in spots
«here water cannot be placed can the
odd plant be found.
On the rocky, gravelly mesas these
largest of the cactus family point their
canielabra-like arms straight toward the
sky, not infrequently attaining a height
of 60 feet.
The body cf the saguara, sometimes
two feet in thickness, is composed of
thin pieces of porous wood, arranged in
the form of a Corinthian column, cov
ered and held together by the outside
fiber of a pale green.
At some distance from the ground large
branches put out, while the whole sur
face is covered with sharp, prickly
thorns. A large white, sometimes pur
ple, blossom springs forth early in spring
and ripens into a pear-shaped fruit by
the last of June.
The fruit, the Petahaya, tasting like a
mixture of raspberry and fig, is highly
prized by both Indians and Mexicans,
who bring it to the ground by the aid of
a long hooked pole. Part of the fruit is
eaten while ripe and the rest is dri«d
in the sun or boiled down to a jam.
Until the advent of the missionaries
to the Papago Indian tribe, some 20
years ago, the gathering of the saguara
was the signal for the most bloody orgy
of the year. All of the tribe contributed
material for the saturnalia, each bringing
his quota of fruit to the medicine men.
This was mixed with water and then
allowed to ferment, then boiled—a highly
department what he believed to be a
good cause for damages against the Mex
ican government.
He claims to have been arrested and
imprisoned without cause while on a
pearl fishing expedition in the Gulf of
California. After two months' confine
ment he succeeded in making his es
cape.
