A PRIZE FIGHT,
Medicine Lodge is fully represented
here, and not to be outdone by any 9th
er section of the cattle country, F. Y
Ewing and Nick Sherlock last evenin,
gave an exhibition of their boxing quail
ifications. The two rounds were fought
in room adjoining the hotel, and wa.
witnessed by quite a crowd. Time wa,
hardly called when Fine struck on
with his right and caught Nick one I'm
der the left optic. Nick rallied afte
being rubbed down by his seconds ant
came to the scratch, and dealt Fine on,
near the proboscis with his right, ant
had caught him in the hair of the heat
with his left, when ''foul'' wa
called and the contestants were separa
ted and again sponged down by thei
seconds, who, after examining the con
testants and consulting Maj. Drumm
referee, decided to call it draw, ant
fight it out some other time.
AS members of the Medicine Lodg
athletic club, the contestants acquitted
themselves in most creditable man
ner, considering their short course o
training under Prof. w. f. Houghton
This morning 1 found Nick feelin!
first class, and said he, ''Fine did well
but Lam the better boxer, and coul,
have out-winded him and won the hon
ors." His face is slightly discolored il
spot or two, though these'will sool
disappear.
Fine was seen later and looked frs
rate. Said he, II feel all right, only
am dad-b famed sore, and my hand is a
big as two hands ought to be
it requires constant rubbing from m.
trainers and constant exercise to pre-
vent my getting as stiff as plow lorse.
He says Nick is Sullivan's equal, bu
not his.
Another meeting is talked of here il
sporting circles, bnt my opinion is tina
both men are willing this should settl
the matter. The stakes last night wa
certain strip of territory, claimed b.
each, on the Salt Fork between thei
ranches. The board of arbitration will
to-day decide which one shall in flu
ture Craze the grass in dispute.
This morning the city authorities no
titled the parties that for such enter
tainmeuts as the one described the cit,
usually collected s. of each of the par
ties. This was willingly paid.
A LITTLE TAFFY.
Caldwell is improving nicely, the i'm
provements being of a substantial kind
Many tasty residences and good bust
ness houses are going up, a proof of tn
confidence the citizens have in the bus
iness future Of the town. The new
brick hotel will be three stories high
when completed, and already the two
first stories are up. From the work
manship and the material used thi
will be first class structure in ever
respect. 1t will do good business, TO
many persons now have to stop a
