death OF the former. 1t appears that Rice had
employed Fitzgerald to haul some rope and
tackle to Democratic Pole raising on Grand
River street, some time since. A piece of the
rope was lost, the Democratic club WAS assessed
TO pay for it, and Rice promised to call the
drayman to account. Meeting Fitzgerald ut the
place and time indicated ABOVE, he accused hun
of stealing piece Of rope. From this an angry
dispute arose, and when Rice applied to EItZ-

THE PRIZE RING.
A Sunday MorAisg "GiiI" in ths City.


Yesterday was attended with one OF those as
graceful scenes dehomlnated prize hgats oe-
tween two well known uptown wors rshies known
as Barney Mullen snd Dau Dillon. The subject
as 70 which was the better man, muscuarly aud
scientifically considered, has long been the bone
OF contention between the friends OF these
characters. Finally an agreement was entered
into by which the oikputed point was to be set
tied. Yesterday orning was The time, and
plot OF ground in the northern boundaries OF
the city, the site fixed upon. The men, some
days ago, went into training, but we're not In the
condition in which longer time would have
placed them.
However nght was the word, and fearing
that the matter would come to the kuo Wedge
OF the police authorities, the principals and their
friends repaired to the spot selected at an early
hour yesterday morning. The ring being formed,
both men jumped into the sqIare and, having
consumed few minutes in the toss tor selection
OF corners, went to work at hammering each
Others countenances. The fight lasted
nearly two hours, during which forty-eight
rounds we're INDUCED in. Dillon, whose
friends say was under the influence OF
liquor Was badly DAMAGED about the hesd-in
fact, his face was in such state that his best
friend woud not have recognized him. The
affair caused considerable excitement in the
Seventeenth Ward yesterday, and crowds OF
men who had witnessed the disgracefu affair
could be ON the corners discussing the dg ut.
So secretly was the matter conducted that the
police knew nothing Of it until after 1t was all
over.

THE WEST.
Murders and Robbsriss by the Yaqui
IhdlAMN.

Mr.. w. W Light, writing from San Lorenzo,
Sonora, July II, says that on the 18th OF June.
his brother Hopkins. and his nephew Julien NJ.
Light. were murdered by the Yaqut Indians
His brother had gone to The water, about eight
where he was killed. After they had killed
him they approached the house. There were
fourteen of them. all armed with bows and
arrows except two, who had muskets. Two OF
them were known, having worked for him and
he would give them work. They laid down their
arms and sat down. Light noticed the man.
ner in which they placed themselves, and told
the men who were with him TO sit close to the
gate. They had just taken seats in front of the
door, when three OF the Indians took hold OF
At the same time time another Indian who was
sitting behind him put his hands over bis eyes,
and two others took hold of him. and q fourth
put his gun to his breast. when he caught The
muZ2le, and the charge just missed him. The
fifth drew his bow and arrow and shot Light In
the thigh. The arrow struck the thigh-b bone,
and he jerked IL out. The sixth Indian struck
Light on the top of the head with q stone. but
fortunately the blow did not fracture the skull.
He jerked gun from an Indian and ran to the
door, which was opened for him. The two
American boys who were with him had got In
and fastened the door. They had discharged
their guns and were too much excited to reload
them. He had them to reload, and by that time
bis nephew was dead and the Indians were on
the top of the house, setting fire to 1t. Light
continues the account as follows:-"I shot
through the roof The ball took effect in the
belly, and passed out of the head. The next
one stuck his head over the wall / let him
have IL in the head and by the time had the
other barrel to its place another showed mis-
head, and he met the same fate. BY the time
got my gun reloaded the house was SO iull OF
smoke that we had TO leaVe."--Sacramenso
