THE PIoCHE EUREKA FIGHT
Fra fellow by the name of Mike
kearney is dubbed by the Virginia pa
pers as 1.-The Phoebe and Eureka fight
err" He may belong to Phoebe, but,
as we said in a former issue, he never
hung out in Eureka, not even for a sim
gle day. He got Two hundred days in
the calaboose for wanting to make
sausage meat out of a dozen unsophis-
ticatec and ~peaceable Comstockers the
other day. In reporting the trial in
the Police Court the Chronicle gives the
following description of the bloodthirs-
ty Michael: presently the Pi )che
and Eureka fighter took the stand in
his own defense. The p. and E. f.
doesn't belle his reputation so far as
appearance goes. He IS a six footer,
wlry, and muscular as a terrier. A
clean cut, close-shaven face, a pair of
quick, light blue eyes, deeply set. and
a sharp, decided manner. make up a
man who wouldn't be a pleasant Gus
toner to quarrel with.

we anybody's deriise. We
didn't quite kill Mr.. Wilson, but we
came very near it; so near it that We
