An Unequal Fight.

There are few of the old.timers in

a desperate fight with Jim Brennan at
the old Eagle house, from the effects
of which, TO the day Of his death,
Brennan never recovered. MorelREd,
who was quite a young man at that
time, was reckless and WIS regarded
AS q rather hard character. He WIS
compelled to leave Cheyenne after the
fight alluded to and has never been
back here but once since, though there
Is no particular reason why he should
not, for he was never indicted for that
affair nor any other In the district
court. He has made his headquarters
In Colorado since that time and re-
Gently entered the service Of the
Rocky Mountain Detective assocIa-
tion. Only few days ago Moreland
was Gent out after three horse thieves,
and found them near Lavina, In the
state OF Kansas. Alone and unaldcd
by q single companion, he attacked
them and attempted their capture.
They were all four mounted, and yet
the desperadoes were routed aud, after
running fight OF nearly three miles
two of them were shot and killed by
Moreland, but the third one made hif
escape, though at last accounts the
whole country was aroused and 1t WA
thought that his capture was inevita-
BILE. MOreland escaped with scarcely
scratch, and Is still with others In

President Ruiz demanded the build
ing to-day through Gen. Ibanez,
cpimaudant If the Panama garrison.
Ibanez has 700 well-armed men aud
will crush Cervera ut once. The dis
Iurbance, If one occurs, will be self
limited. Cervera Is very unpopular.
LATER-Two regiments of national
troops are in Panama, and 1t is thought
order shall be maintained. All the
trouble will be bet WEI n the liberals and
conservatives. An English man-of-
war Is expected on the station within
forty-eiglit hours. French and Ameri-
can interests are wholly unprotected.
Some fears exist of repetition OF the
revolution OF 1879, which would be
very disastrous TO the canal company.

ably increasing. In the face of this,
however, the physicians and chemists
OF the city held a meeting and de
clared the alarm senseless. The rate
of mortality at present, they aver,
does not exceed that which is usual at
this period of great heat. They express

To cholera are really due to other
causes. The municipal authorities
have decided to forego the customary
celebration on the Fourth.
