MORE TEouDLE.-lt seems there is NO end OF
of the troubles of our friend viii. H. Clark. OF
the Strcator Free Press growing out Of his report
OF the late prize fight. Early in the morning Of
that cvcntful day he heard that crowd Of miners
had gone out Of town mile or two to have big
fight. With the true spirit and pluck Of a Bohc
mian he followed them up, pencil and paper in
hand, and got there IN time TO see the last half
dozen rounds, and with the information he could
gather from the bystandcrp made up report Of
the affair, which was published While thus he
had no more TO do with getting up or conducting
the fight, and really had no more knowledge Of
it until It was nearly over, than the man in the
moon, hc Is arrested as an accessory to the mur-
der of one Of the prize fighters and lodged in the
Jail at Pontiac to await hearing on the charge.
II looks like petty persecution. In the sense in
which the word reporter" /. used in the statute,
WIZ! Clark is no moro reporter than any spec.
