Death of Jack Ora R m,

We learn from Bird Calfee that the name
of the man found some time since neal
the Mammoth Hot Springs, in dying
condition. reference to whom was made in
last week COURIER. was Jack Graham.
lie was a man tolerably well known on
the upper Yellowstone. as we'll as in other
portions of Montana. 1t appears that he
had been travelling alone and was thrown
from his horse down Il side hill or cmbank
ment and was rendered so insensble either
by the tall or from the effects of liquor. or
both. as TO be entirely unconscious of his
condition and surroundings. In that state
he had evidently passed several days and
nights. Mr.. Calfee administered to him
such stimulants and restoratives as lie
could command. brought him down to
the nearest ranch. where he received prop
er care and attention, aud he revived sufti-

To THE EDIroR THE HERALD
II your reporter correctly represents Mr. wallack

that Mr.. walack does great injustice 70 the

he puts the New York public in the former category
Am the people OF this city are both amuse-

shrunk from fifteen to forty per cent People in
other large cities pay from twenty-five to thirty
three per cent less than We pay for witnessing

said:-~I Captain Paul Boyton's reply to my
challenge in the HERALD this morning and notice
that the Captain wants me to explain what meant
by various reasons in relation to my not being
satisfied with the Newport match. was PERFECTLY
satisfied with Boytons conduct in every PARTICULAR.
"Then the expression did not refer to him p
'Oh no, not in the least"
'Whst did it refer to p
hot New York that felt as If l had been in
Turkish bath for weeks. Then had not been here
the weather had great effect me. The water 1T
Newport. too. Is much colder than the New York
think. Besides. 1 went into the water an empty
stomach. which was very wrong. and. to cap all.
chilled through and through"
Whose fault WAS thaty
'Nobody's. 1t was unavoidable. ALI these things
together. you may imagine. combined against mo
and tended to put me out of condition.
Captain Boyton won the money fairlyr'
Perfectly 80 in every respect am sAtisned With
him in every way.
'.How you feeling nowY

he says am all right He says though that was in
no condition to go into the water at the Newport
race, that 1t too soon after my Sandy Hook

"Never in my life"
''What their natureY'
''The calves of my legs drew mp suddenly Ike
balls of iron, and 1 perfectly powerless to
straighten them out. could not swim q stroke
after they seized All could do was TO keep
ahost until they picked mo up"
AGAIN.
''How about Boyton's answer " your recent
challenger
That's all right. I will swim him for $1,000
side on the same terms. But will not say to
the water yet
"what distance will you swimY'
"From ton to twenty miles,
"He says he wants to swim in Boston Harbor.
What do you think of thaty

you know.
''Do you you will not swim at ALP

that goes the farthest wins."
'On what conditoDsY
"For snything over $500 side. To swim without
