Il BETTING YOUNG MAN GOES ror THE
DAvENpoRrs. MIR. B. L. BonnelI, of
atlanta. better known MS Kelly, on
Wednesday night attended the private
seanoe OF the Davenport Brothers, at
the Kimbail House. He thought th: I
he saw deep enough into it to make
deuced good guess as to the secret Of
tho whole matter. He determined to
bet the brothers SI00 that lie could tie
them in such manner that it would be
utterly impossible for them to carry on
their dovilment. The wager was &C.
cepted greedily, and the money put up.
AS soon as the preliminaries were ar
ranged. Kelly went off and bought 800
yards OF rope. and spent the day in
tying everything ho could lay his hands
upon. His room, last night, presented
rather picturesque appearance, the
floor was a perfect net work of rope,
everything conceivable in the room was
wrapped up in rope. and tied in every
possible manner. and every knot i'm
aglnable had been made, and poor Kel-
ly. who had worked himself into q
fever, was lying on the floor, perfectly
exhausted. The bet mas created good
deal OF excitement among the sporting
fraternity, and all await the test with
much impatience. The trial will be
made Saturday.-AAanid Herald
