Ewald took up Q copy of the Bible and said:

THE WRESTLING MATCH.
James Pascoe, Of Nevada, De
clared the Winner.

The Amphitheatre was fairly filed Saturday
evening by interested spectators to witness the
wrestling match between Patrick 1riggs, of
Tombstone, Arizona, and James Pascoe, Of Ne
vada for $3.50 a side. According to the terms of
the match they were to wrestle one fall each,
catch-as catchcan, collar and elbow, and
Cornish styles. the one gaining two falls out of
the three to take the stakes. Twiggs is a slight
built young man, standing 5 feet 81 inches aud
weighing. stripped for the ring, l26 pounds.
Pascoe stands S feet, 9 inches and gave his
weight at las pounds. Both are experts in the
art of wrestling, but Twiggs was too light for his
powerful adversary to stand much of a show to
win. Besi"es he was badly out Of condition.
The choice of style for the first wrestle fell to
Pascoe who named catch-ascatch-can. Evan
Jones was selected as referee and Charles Hos
kins and H. M. Wood acted as time keepers.
At ten O'Clock time was called I'M the fun
commenced. After working for an opening and
occasionally clinching without q fall for thirty
minutes, time was called and the men repaired
to their respective rooms t: cool off. After the
expiration of fifteen minutes the men renewed
the contest, but in a little over two minutes
Pascoe had Twiggs on his back, the latter
striking his head severely against one of the
corner posts in falling.
The next hold was collar and elbow. Pascoe
won the fall in just eight minutes, thus winning
the match and the money. 1wiggsis an active,
game little fellow but Pascoe's superior weight
and st. ength told against him. Twiggs showed,
however, that there are but few men of his
weight anywhere that have any business with
him at wrestling.

ARREST OF A
James Feerau Arrested for Grand
Larceny.
He Draws a Pistol On an officer

There was quite an excitement last evening
for q little while over the arresting Of a man
named James Feeban. Tit circumstances Is
given to q reporter were these: On Monday
night Feehan was gambling In the house Of
Ring 4 Lowry. He put up . certificate Of de-
posit for 81, 1000. for which he received checks,
and lost 1t fair and square. When through play
ing Mr.. King handed him the certificate for his
Endorsement, but Feehan concluded not to in
dorse 1t and made tracks for his hotel. Mr..
King paid no attention to the matter until yes
terday morning, when Feehan not coming to
the front" he had a warrant sworn out against
him before Judge Nichols, and Constable J. NJ.
Fish arrested him. Feehan was admitted to bail
in the sum of $1,000 to appear at the District
Court. A friend of his went On his bond and
s ,G00 was put up by Feehan as security to q re
sponsible citizen, who also went on his bond.
Later in the day that citizen learning from, as
he thought, good authority, that the other
bondsman was not responsible, went to Fish
and told him he would not stand as security,
and that Feehan must either get other bonds.
men or go to jail. Mr.. Fish then arrested Feehan
again. At Feehan's request he went around
with him for some time hunting up bondsmen.
They were unsuccessful and at last Fish told
Feehan he must go. Feehan proposed to try q
certain other acquaintance. but while going
tried to break away from the officer. Mr.. Fish
called to him, but Feehan kept on. Fish then
got hold of Feehan's arm, but Feehan drew his
revolver and placing it against Fish's body with
oath told him to let 60. Fish let him go, and
Feehan turne to 60 through the Com ination
saloon. Fish followed, and two or three times
Feehan turned and pointing his pistol at Fish
told him rot to come any farther. Fish, how
ever, kept getting closer and closer to Feehas,
talking to him all the time and telling him that
he was getting himself into trouble. AT last
in b Galley back of the saloon, Fish, watching
bis Cpl ortunity, jumped at Feehan, catching
him so as to hold his arms and keep him from
using his pistol. In the scufle both fell to the
ground. Just then Sheriff Irwin and Deputy
Sheriff Bodley came TO Fish's assistance, and
disarming Feehan marched him off to Jail. Mr..
Fish deserves g'eat credit for his GOODNESS IN
the affair. He knew he was dealing with a man
who had the reputation of being a desperate
1t IS reported that Feehan has fig
ured In several shooting scrapes and that he
knows how to 'use his gun" Feehan will now
have considerable business at the next term of
court.

LONGEVITY AND THE DRESS

l see young fellows enter my estab-
lishment and audaciously take their
seats at my well dinner tables, in
their ordinary business clothes, my
blood boils within me I feel it to be

Most undoubtedly" was the
scornful answer. I'll find that tue
tendency to abandon that attire
sensibly increases I shall put a
notice prohibiting the entrance of
any n in business clothes. A dress
suit is at the very root Of polite table
society. | know something about it,
young man, and have studied the
question deeply. 1 have my custo-
mers' interests as much at heart as
my own. I'll tell you what 1 mean.
One of the most prominent physi-
clans in this city told me as a posi-
tive fact that the reason English
statesmen, barristers and justices
live to such old ages-it is a remark
able fact that they do-is simply
because they dress for dinner"
what on earth can dress suits
have to do with longevity
Simply this: Just suppose you've
been harrassed and worried by a hard
days work. don't mean to say that
statesmen and barristers invariably
are-and that you've got to dress for
dinner. The consequence is, you
can't precipitate yourself on your
food and partake Of it while in the
state of annoyance which renders
digestion out of the question. You're
obliged to deliberately fix studs in
your shirt-there's nothing requires
more self>possession than that
wrestle with a collar and don your
black garments. By the time you're
attired you've probably forgotten
half Of your grievances and are ready
to receive nourishment. Ergo, you
are benefited by your change OF
Clothes"
"Still, the custom is going out
somewhat, is 1T not:."
Il grieve to saw that owing to the
pernicious example of the English
members of Parliament it is losing
ground. Just think! Lord Randolph
Churchill and one Or two others are
the only members who adhere to the
custom. What England will come
to | don't know. [ don't care either,
except so far as America is con>
cerned. and it will affect her by the

be a terrible day for refinement and
culture when men sit down to din
ner in business clothes pure and SIM
pie. l see before me a hideOus pic

TIE BUTTE RACE COURSE.
A Proposition Of leading Citizens
to Purchase It,
And to Establish a Model Track
and Buildings.

leading citizens and property holders
of Butte, together with several gen.
tlemen from other points, have made
ov~ertures looking to the purchase of
the ace track near this city, with
the view to form a stock company
that will assume its control, and put
it in frst-class order. The proposi>
ton is a good one, and should be
carried out. Viewing the matter
from every standpoint the proposition
as a business venture, is a safe and
sound one. The following facts will
demonstrate this.
The grounds comprise 24O acres, in
the form of q parallelogram-that is
three fo1ties II length by two in
width, OF three-quarters of a mile
long. and a half mile wide. The
track proper takes in nearly all the
centre forties, and cuts the corners of
the contiguous ones. Outside of the
fence which encloses the track, is
one field of sixty acres under fence.
By enclosing the rest of the land De-
longing to the property, an abund-
ance of fine pasture car be secured
for stock in training if it be desired.
Water can be easily be brought upon
it, trees a be planted and the
| grounds be made shady, cool and at
tractive.
The proposition, as We understand,
is to Dr. anizea company composed of
twenty or thirty of the principal bust
ness men of the city, purchase and
capitalize the property, erect suitable
buildings and inaugurate a series of
races every year under the manage
ment of board of directors elected
by the stockhold ers. Or, in other
words, to own aud manage the track,
as race tracks are owned and man
agel in other cities of the wealth and
Importance of Butte.
It requires but half an eye tor one
to see the advantages to a city of a
well conducted race track. 1t brings
in and puts in circulation money
from the outside and loosens up a.
large amount at home which no
amusement, however attractive, can
control. Hotel keepers, saloons.
merchants and, in fact, nearly every
other business, feels the stimulating
effect of a largely attended race meet
ing. And when races are conducted
fairly and squareIy, as they generally
are when business men interest t1em-
selves in their management, the at
tendance is always large.
The track is one of the best and
fastest in the Territory. It was care
fully surveyed and laid out to insure
the greatest speed Of contendipg
horses. The fence around it is in
good condition, and will last for years.
It is just the right distance from the
city, and with a good club house
built upon it with the necessary
sheds, stables, outhouses, etc., it
would make an attractive resort, and
objective point for an afternoons
drive. There are many other and
cogent reason why Quite men should
take hold of this property and make
it what it should he. The undertake
ing is too much of a burden for any
one or two men to handle success
fully. But owned by a corporation,
composed of enterprising men, good
buildings can be erected, the track
kept in good order, and Butte be
made the central point for horsemen
in Montana and contiguous Terrific
ries.
