RITCHIE A PUNCHER
There are discussions on all sides now as
to who is the best puncher among the list
of lightweights. Leach Cross is the leader
with those who express opinions. Just
is an undecided issue, but taking it from
what Willie Ritchie can do with a wallop
one who ought to know, the title holder
must be there with the “kick." No one is
better able to qualify as an expert in the
matter of heavy wallopers than Joseph
Mandot, late chaser of the championship.
Joe has fought them all, including Ritchie
and Cross, and he is one who ought to
set at rest any doubt that Ritchie is just a
boxing champion.
“Not only is Ritchie a great boxer," said
Mandot the other day, “but he is a terrific
hitter. Ritchie carries his punch with him
at all times and can get over one at almost
any stage of the game.
“When I boxed Willie Ritchie 10 rounds
in New Orleans I felt that I had the better
of the bout for at least nine and a half
rounds. I was going great against Ritchie,
and I felt I had him beaten up to within
30 seconds of the last round. Then some
thing happened to me. Ritchie crossed
: that right of his over to my jaw and I
imagined that someone had turned off all
the lights. It was the hardest punch I was
ever hit in my life, and I guess I’ve gotten
a few tough wallops in my career.
“After Ritchie landed that clout I was
through. Of course I started to duck in
stinctively, and 1 managed to avoid further
collision with Ritchie’s right, but that one
punch almost put me out of business.
“I’ll tell you one thing—I’d as soon have
a sour-dispositioned mule kick me as have
that Ritchie boy hit me that kind of a
wallop again. Ritchie hurt me more in the
last 30 seconds of our 10-round bout than
Rivers hurt me in the two 20-round con
tests I had with him.
“That right hand cross of Ritchie’s is the
toughest proposition that I ever went up
against. Getting hit by Ritchie’s right cross
is, to my way of looking at it, about the
same as being caressed by a policeman’s
night stick. Of course I was never caressed
by any policeman’s night stick, but Ritchie
did hit me, and if I were given my choice
I’d rather take a chance on the night
stick.”

Held at Discovery, Otter Creek, October 29, 1313, to Discuss the De
cision in Recent Case of United States Against Sam
Adams, Affecting the Ownership of the Chicago
Bench Association Claim
(From the Stenographic Notes of the Secretary of the Meeting'
The meeting was called to order at 8 :30
! o’clock p. m. by C. R. Peck, acting as tem
[ porary chairman, who stated the object of
the meeting as follows:
That a claim (the Chicago Bench) had
been staked by the original locators; that
claim had been sold for a large sum of
money to a citizen of this district; that
claim had been in possession of this party
from the date of purchase; that title to
ownership had never been questioned; that,
assessment work to the value of hundreds
of dollars had been done upon the claim,
either by the owner or by the Yukon Gold
Company, as lessee, when, of a sudden, a
party (or parties) attempts to take posses- :
sion of that claim by merely putting down
a few stakes and making a few pencil
marks, claiming that the property for which
a large sum of money had been paid and on
which much work had been done was no
longer in the possession of the party who .
had purchased it, but was theirs by right of ;
relocation or restaking; whereupon this :
party who had purchased this claim
promptly took the matter before court,
which course should always be followed in a
community having a court of justice, but
absolutely no satisfaction was obtained. Ac
cording to the court's decision, as we under
stand it, this party has practically no right
to the claim so far as this (Iditarod) court
will recognize. That being the case, a num
ber of mine owners and laymen in this dis
trict feel that their claims may be at the
mercy of possible claim jumpers. He fur
ther stated that it was possible that this
party received all the satisfaction that was
due him, but that the meeting should hear
of the things that took place at eourt, or
around court, to see whether or not due
satisfaction was obtained, and if not, to see
what can be done; that this was not a
miners' meeting, but a mass meeting of
the citizens of this community; that any
body could come and that no secrecy was
intended; and that any suggestion for im
proving or correcting conditions would be
discussed before the meeting.
The next order of business was the selec
tion of permanent chairman and secretary,
C. R. Peck and M. H. Guise being called
upon to fill these respective positions.
The chairman requested that anyone who
had anything to say in connection with this
affair speak up; that he would call upon
no one in particular to address the meet
ing, and that no doubt there were some
who knew considerable about this affair.
Mr. Bain of Discovery requested to be
advised as to what the contention was over
the Chicago Bench claim, whereupon Mr.
Marston requested that Harold Seddon be
called upon to explain the contention over
this claim.
Mr. Seddon set forth very clearly thp
position in which he and other claim own
ers or laymen had been placed by this de
cision; that he was a claim owner and op
erator; that there had recently been a case
of claim-jumping or relocating; that he had
interests alongside the claim in question,
and that he might any day find his claim
in the same position; that up until the
present time Thomas P. Aitken had been
considered as one of the owners of the
Chicago Bench; that if a man didn't do
his assessment work, then it was open for
relocation, but that if the owner performed
his assessment work, and if anyone staked
on such claim, then it was a plain case of
claim-jumping. If you own, or buy, or
stake, or your partner stakes a claim, and
you have done your assessment work, and
somebody comes along and jumps that
claim, what action can you take? That
is the question before us tonight; that if
anyone were to jump a claim for which you
a ad paid $20,000 or $30,000, you would nat
