Convincing Argument.

A few nights ago the County
Clerk of Butte county was in Sac.
ramento, and he went to music
hall. The audience got it into
their heads that the Clerk was John
L. sullivan, the slogger. And
they began to cheer the Butte man
and they annoyed him; and the
more he was annoyed the more
they cheered. He told the people
he was not Sullivan, but they did
not believe him, and they cheered
him more than ever. Tie Butte
county man got mad and got up
from his seat and began knocking
out the audience right and left, and
as as fast as he could come to them,
and that made them dead sure he
was Sullivan, and their cheers
went up from the sidewalks for the
great slogger.

weighed l56 pounds. Connors
presented a solid appearance and
weighed 1852 pounds. Connors
showed a neck like a barrel, big,
brawny arms, a deep chest aud
seemed to have powerful hold on
his feet. Connors secured a mid
dle-hold, keeping Bibby in that
position fully an hour, as if held in
q wise. After 10 minutes rest Con-
nors forced the wrestling, putting
forth his great strength with won
derful effect. Bibby was literally
