JUVENILE PRIZE FIGHTERS. The follow
ing is from the Nevada Transcript of
April 2Oth
A most disgraceful affair, according to
the statements of the spectators, occurred
in barn, near the narrow-gauge railroad
depot, in this city, last Saturday afternoon.
Some juvenile aspirants for managerial
fame took possession of the building and
announced that series of prize-tg lights
would take place therein, to which curious
people could obtain admission on the pay
ment of "two chinas head. An audi
ence of nearly 100, mostly boys, assembled
to witness the sports. A ring was formed
There were two mills, the participants be-
ing from 10 to II years old. They stripped,
and observed, in most regards, the rules
regulating fstic encounters. The first
couple fought two rounds, when one Of
them received thump on his eye that
blackened it and led him to throw up the
sponge. The next pair of contestants
fought for stake of so cents, and in the first
round one had the wind knocked out Of
him so effectually that he was obliged to
retire for repairs. This brutal business has
been carried far enough, and 1t is time for
the authorities to check it. If they have
no objection to full-grown plug uglies bat
tering each Others mugs into still more un-
calmly proportions, it is probably because
they think that the community stands a
show of gaining inestimably by the fight
ers wiping each other out of existence.
But when the moral atmosphere becomes
so permeated that boys who have scarcely
DOTTED their diapers are seized with craze
for indulging in the "manly art for coin,
it begins to look as though the brakes of
justice ought to be put on.

FIRST ROMANCE OF SPRING.

1t is moonlight on the hill. From out
the trees a gentle zephyr creeps to rob the
hyacinth of its perfumed breath, and adown
the garden walk the whippoorwill lends his
monotone of sadness unto the balmy night
Sleep, with brooding wings, sits silent DER
the scene. But bark it is the tinkling
guitar strummed by the lonely Augusta.
He comes. Beneath the vine-clad window
in the ghostly cleaning he pauses, and up
the flower trellised wall he shoots melan-
choly tenor fraught with the passionate in
quiry, Must l leave thee here alone !? "
No answer returns save the haunting echo
and the low clicking of distant door.
The scene changes. 1t is the back yard tab
leau. A white-robed old man bends above
chained dog and sooths his too eager spirit
as he loosens the collar. A low voice
says "S-cc-ceck him, Bull-take short
cut round the rose-bush." A f1ash-and
the old man is alone. The clatter of a
fallen guitar comes from the front; a
sound like the rush of steeple- chase near
ing a hedge is borne back, and neck and
neck two figures cross the picket fence to
disappear down the dim prospective of the
deserted street. Then the old man meets
Bull as he returns on the outer walk, ard
removes in discouraged manner a dark
object from his foaming mouth, while the
animal retires to his kennel in silence. The
door opens and shuts upon the white-robed
form, and all is still again. But as he
gets into bed and shoves the old lady's
feet out of the warm place he mutters ::
''Bull is gettin' old, an serenades don't pay
dividends like they used to, but if the
business keeps ND | think YOU will be JUS
tilted in startin' another patchwork quilt,
Maria That last fellow left real cas-
sumner"
"What sorter sample did you get -
"Tolerble fair. There was long strip
with pistol-pocket hangin' to it and one

A STEADY DRINKER noted Scotch
clergyman, of the good old school of or
thodoxy, after preaching an evening SER
mon, went to farmhouse, famous for its
hospitality, for supper and bed. After
eleven tumblers of toddy had been con-
sumed, the servants were ordered in for
prayers. The niece and housekeeper went
in gladly, carrying tray to remove the
glasses. Stay, stay, Miss Mysie, said
the minister; ''we'll just push the things
into the middle O. the table, and they'll be
easier drawn back after the exercises,

Suicide OF Chinaman-Case of Mistaken
Identity,

SAN RAFAEL, April 23d.-This morning, as
District Attorney Towle entered his wood
shed, he was astoDished to see before him,
hanging by the neck, the hfeless tody Of
Chinaman, who, as he supposed, was All Yen,
who had been in his employ for eight weeks,
and who had been discharged yesterday morn
ing and his place filed by one All Yek. The
Coroner being notified, took charge of the
body, and a jury was impanaled for the in
quest, which revealed laughable case of mis-
taken identity. District Attorney Towle read
Lis evidence, covering two sheets of foolscap
oaper, which was in substance that he knew
deceased to be one All Yen, who had been in
lis employ for some eight weeks up to yester-
day morning, when he was discharged; that
Sc found his body hanging in his woodshed
ahis morning. After placing his signature to
zas evidence, and turning about to notice
rsersons coming into the jury-room, he was
seen to start abruptly to his feet, and cover
ing his evidence with one hand, be held the

Movement of Troops Battle Imminent

SAN DIEGO, April 23d.-Intelligence has
been received that General Carbon, with 800
Federal troops, was landed by, the Mexican
punboat Democratic and a schooner at San
Felipe. near the mouth of the Colorado, on
Thursday, April 10Th. These troops marched
on the 18th up the peninsula for San Rafael,
in La Frontera, and would be due there to-
dav. 1t is probable, however, that they have
been encountered by Marquee de Loen, who
moved his force out of San Rafael on Thurs
day, having preceded them on Sunday with
WargEez had 200 effective men, well armed,
and battle seems to be inevitable.

Fatal Outcome OF a Poker Game-The
Indian Outbreak-The Affair Growing
Serinus-Rich Mineral Strikes.

COTTON, April 2Sd.-The Semi ropic is in
receipt of information from Ivanpah tonight
that d. c. Sargent was murdered at that
place last Monday by A J. Laswell and
Jack Riley. Sargent was attacked while in
the store of J. +. Burdack, and shot four
times, twice after falling The affray seems
to have grown out of a dispute over a poker
game. The murderers are en- route to San
Bernardino, heavily ironed and guarded by
strong posse of citizens.
The outbreak among the Chimehuava In
dians grows more serious every hour. They
are gathering in force all through the noun
tains, and especially at the springs along the
west side of the Colorado river. Mail riders
report seeing their signal fires all through the
mountains, and along the river. MIR. West,
a large stock dealer, with his men, has been
run off his ranch, his houses burned and his
stock driven off. The Agent and employees
at the reservation have gone to Ehrenberg for
protection, and have been warned by the
Mojaves that the Chimehuavas intended to
cross the river, kill the settlers and pillage
the settlement. 1t is reported that about 200
renegade Piutes will join the Chimehuavas
in making war on the whites, simply for what
they can steal. Two companies of cavalry
have landed at Ehrenberg, ready to march
against the red devils at a moments notice.
The reports of rich strikes in the Provi-
dence mountains, so miles east of Cotton, are
confirmed.

A MONKEY Pulls A TooTH.-We invite
the attention of Mr. Darwin to the follow
ing very singular anecdote regarding the
monkey "Dot, belonging to James Ward
law, of this town, as so peculiar an Illus
tration of the ingenuity of the monkey has
rarely, if ever, been recorded The
monkey was brought to Gait from Deccan,
India, in the fall of 1878, by Mr.. Wardlaw,
who had been residing in Hyderabad for
several years. 1t fairly eclipsed itself on
Sunday before last. The little creature
had been suffering from toothache for sew
eral days, and evidently suffered severely.
On Sunday the pain was more than or
dinarily severe, and the monkey, like its
human type, resolved at last to undergo a
dental operation. But the dentist, strange
to say, was itself. dot" found string,
fastened 1t around the aching tooth, seized
the end of the string with his fore feet,
drew up one of its hind legs between its
fore feet, and gave sudden shove, which
jerked the tooth out and sent it flying half
way across the room. This having been
accomplished, the monkey was at ease. and
resumed his natural cheerfulness and anna
bility -EGalt (Ont Reformer.

As there are many good names
being mentioned for the vacancy
in the Supreme Court Of Appeals
and large reserve force not yet
mentioned from which 10 draw,
why not have two candidates on
each ticket?
II is true that there will be but
one vacancy and only one man
can hope 10 get tho seat, but We
conceive that it would be highly
proper under the circumstances, for
each party to make two nomina-
tons, and that each Of tho two
Democrats, il elected, or each Of
the two Republicans, if elected,
would have Il chance Of getting the
seat.
This will 10 the cuse, as many
know, in the contest for circuit
judgeships. The enabling net
passed by the Legislature in COLI
nection with the proposed consti-
tutional amendments, provides for
voting in each circuit, for two
Judges. one under the present
constitution and one under tho pro-
posed amendment.
/. If the amendment carries, the
candidate nominated for the judy
ship provided under it, will be
elected, and if the amendment fails
the candidate under the "old dis
pensatiun" will be elected.
Thus in every circuit there will
be two Democrats and two Re-
puhlicans nominated orjudgcships
and if the GrsOnbNckers enter the
field independently, their will be
six candidates for judgeships in
every circuit.
But there seems 10 be no thought
