ABOUT THAT Foot RACE.-i,illy
Gllpin sends us the following in
regard tn the foot race which did
not come of last Saturday. He
Is, us will be seen, still on the war
path and ready for another match :
l signed articles to run l0u wards
Saturday with Mitchell, and put
UP Sl5O more at ID O'clock pn that
day. Yet | sta ed 10 him could not
come up at 10, and wished him to
inttrline and state that the bal
ance Was to so up the day of the
race. This was agreed upon
upon in the presence Of four wit
nesses. So accordingly 1 took my
time in walking up from Silver
CITY, and did not get to Orndortf's
saloon until ten minutes past T.
| rendered Orndorif $50 to IN Ike
my race good. II refused to take
it, saying he had given up the
forf. il of SluO. Crndorh was back
ing Mitchell and holding stakes.
| wish the public to know the
truth of this flair, and dislike to
be swindled out of my hard earned
money in any such Il way. / am
open to run Mitchell ut any time.
| don't want him to leave this
.mpanI say Gilpin paid forf,it.
