SULLIVAN BLUFFED.
A Montana Miner Gets After the Hero
With Six Shooter

In the train which bore John L.
Sullivan and his party from Helena to
Garrison, ell route to Butte on Saturday
afternoon, says the Inter Mountain,
lively scene was enacted between the
champion heavyweight of the world
and young miner who formerly resided
in this city. The latter had with him
a small flask OF whiskey. He was
t}raveling alone and wanted drink.
Sullivan sat behind him. The miner
f,,nlIed out the flask and said Mr..
SnIliyan, will you take a few lines?"
aNo;H said Sullivan with offensive
emphasis, " don't drink
n hope you'll excuse me- said the
youflg man, II meant no offense."
..Iou shouldn't be so fresh" was the
reply. you shouldn' It talk to men you
don't know"
Soon afterwards the young man took
another drink and in a spirit of levity
asked the champion a second time to
take drink but did so in a very respect
full way.
YOU'RE cur" said Sullivan, and
I'll throw you out Of the window"
Attempting to suit the action of the
word, Sullivan arose and was just about
to take hold of the man with the bottle,
when quick as flash, the latter put his
hand to his hip pocket and resolutely
facing the champion said
you big----- may be
champion of the world but you can't
run this territory nor bully me. Ii you
put me out of that window, I'll put six
bullets into you while you are doing it,"
Sullivan at once resumed his seat and
Mccoy and others interfered to prevent
any further disturbance. Mccoy eX-
niainp ed the matter to the y0unp man bV
stating that Sullivan had just lost his
hat and overcoat off the train and that
he was SO angry at the loss that he
couldn't control his temper. He further
stated that Sullivan was afraid of being
shot in Montana and asked the offended
young man to avoid any further trouble.
This request was complied with and the
combination arrived in Butte without
further incident.

The time to arise is when sleep, properly
so called, ends. Doing is not admitted
from any reasonable or health point of

gate of sleeps. In other words, sleep, which

sists in the sleeping or rest of all the several
parts of the organism. Sometimes one,
and at other times another part of the
body as Il whole may be the least fatigued
and 80 the first to awake, or the most
exhausted and therefore the most difficult
to arouse. The secret of good sleep is-the
physiological conditions of rest being estab-
lished-to so work and weary the several
parts of the organism as TO give them
proportionally equal need of rest ut the
same moment The cerebrum or mind

to sleep together, and, so far as may be
possible, they should be equally tired To
wake early and feel ready TO rise, this fair
and equal start of the sleeper should be
secured; and the wise selt-manager should
not allow a drowsy feeling Of the conscious
ness, or weary senses, or an exhausted
muscular system, TO beenile him into the
folly OF going to sleep again when once his
