The Marshal, police and Mayor are just
now trying to unravel the mysteries OF an
alleged prize fight, said to have taken place
on Saturday night or Sunday morning near
the stock pens, west OF town. The atfray
was kept very quiet, but the police have
figured out that Fred. Fedderson and Jack
Gallagher did fight, and that Henry Jarbet
and Jim Gallagher did create disturbance
afterwards. Jarbet was assessed a fine of
SIS and costs, $lS in all. The balance of the
party will likely be assessed a similar sum,
or more, perhaps when they are found.

pose to prosecute the chaps under the
statute, and it will be dear work for those
who try to whip the devil round the
stump"
