A Cu.LLsxaE.-we have had a DR.,

sentiment for some time past, that
"Judge Launan" would do something
desperate, and it has come to pass he
has sent challenge, through Col. Jack
Hayes, to Joe Coburn, tho pugilist, to
fight him prize fight for ten thousand
dollars-to como off in May, down at
the four corners at Riley's ranch, below
American Flat. The preliminaries have
been entered into, and Judge Lannan is
now in training under Nike McCluskey,
at the Gold Hill. Thsstsr. The princi-
pal difficulty with Lanuan, it is feared
by his friends, is, that he cannot get
into fighting trim in time, as he is a
man Of most extraordinary weight, and
NcCluskey is trying to reduce him with
psrter-house steaks and Bass Bitter Beer
without giving him much outdoor sxsr-
cise.' We are afraid Lannan will have
to Aght on "shspe" instead of muscle.
