A BOLD ROBBERY.
The SHOW window im CRber UrO's.
yeWc1ry StOre Broken In. ANA some
valuable lew elry NlOleN

ScWcuGy RtOBe nTOhen WoO NOME
Valuable Jewe1ry StO1ea
II Is seldom we are called upon to re-
port so bold robbery as was pcrpctrated
at the jcwelry store of Taber Brothers
last night.
AT about half past eight o'clock, a col
ored man was seen standing outside look
ing in at the display Of finc watches and
jewclry In the show window. At the
time Mr.. John Taber and three men con.
nccted with the store were behind the
counter, and within eight or ten feet
OF the window. All OF them saw
the negro standing at the window,
but nothing was thought Of it. a. there
is scarcely a half hour in the day but
what persons stop to look in at the jew
elry.
Presently the negro was seen TO double
his right arm. raise his elbow, and In an
instant more, crash 1t came threw the
window glass, SCATTERING it into a thou
sand pieces. The negro then grabbed
a gold watch aud chain, and fine gold
pencil. and made of at break-ncck speed.
Almost instantly MIR. Taber and his en-
ployes were on the sidewalk and
the cry OF stop thief was
raised. The negro ran around the
corner and down Eighth street TO-
wards Washington avenue. a gentle
man ut the corner Of Eighth street AND
Washington avenue hearing the cry o.
stop thief" and seeing the negro com
ing at break neck speed
drew his revolver and or
dered the darky to stop. The negro
refused, and in order to stop or scare
and induce him to stop he shot into the
ground. But the negro did not stop, aud
at the corner of Ninth street another shot
was fired, but the negro kept on, aud
jumping the fence into Mrs. Scott
Whites yard was lost sight of,
and made his escape. II the
gentleman who tried to stop the darkey
at the corner Of Eighth street had known
the nature Of the crime he had COM
mitted 1t would have been an easy
matter to have shot the darby in the legs,
and brought him down, but fearing he
had been guilty Of some petty ofenss did
not want to hurt him.

PRIZE FIGHTS.

A prize fight took place last Tuesday
within five miles Of Virginia City.
Fiftsen hundred persons assembled on
the ground to behold the spectacle OF
two men trained to give punishment
without sympathy and receive it with
out q murmur, in true bulldog fashion,
Aght until one or the other succumbed
The time aud place at which this fight
was to come off was no secret. as it was
publicly Announced ia the Storey
county papers repeatedly. The au-,
thorities were aware of it, and 30 were
thsteditors OF the Comstock journals.
TIE former made no effort
;soas prevent it. and the latter
said lot a word against il. and
the aeht took place as publicly as If the
law awarded the champion premium.
and recognized pugilisin Us fine art
oountenanced aud patronized by the
State. The contestants bruised and
beat each other until one was adjudged
vanquished and the stakes awarded the
victor. Now, however, that all is done
that can be done for the present. the
Comstock editors appear to have bees
suddsniy appraised of the fact that .
prize tight had taken place in the sub
urbs Of the city, and with one accord
denouncs the affair as brutal, and char
acterize it ~ lawless proceeding and
every one who witnessed it AS law
breaker They enter plea of excuse
for the officers by alleging that the fight
took place so near the line OF Storey
and Washoe counties that it was llnpos-
sibIe for them to determine i'll what
jurisdiction the ropes We're stretched.
This is a fimsy pretext, worse than
none. If the officers We're disposed to
interfere aud prevent the fight taking
place there need not have. been much
trouble about the matter of jurisdiction,
