SUGAR vs.. SAND,

EAE@
There was man Of some Fenown
CThisreally - no hoex)
Who could mot live In Gouldbum town.
30 wicked wers the folks.
He kept his eye On heaven liked
And dealt with honest hand,
But al his bloomin' nsighbors mixsd
Their sugar with their sand.
30 round HIS neck he tied ecord
Which from the ceiling swung
Upset the chair without . word,
And stzsightway he was hung.
Now all his me- ghbors chuckls rude
e When no else h nigh;
ITO 1--we" they say, "he was too guide.
But we're too cute 70 die"
But there's Z time a-coming M
A time Of sore regret, i
When they'll repent what they have done
And struggle to forget.
When Satan gets them well in hand,
You'll hear 'en bleatEks gsats
Az streams Of blazing. red-hot sand
He forces down their Threats.
Then this poor man who had to die 81
Because hey gave false weight, .
Shall perch upon the rainbow high
And take his sugar straight.

A Rich Strike.

- ftf Ea-'74Et-
In stripping for q pit to set the
sluice boxes on the Polling claim on
Wednesday the men encountered an
extraordinary rich deposit of gravel
lying directly upon the bedrock.
Eleven ounces and q half of coarse
gold, including q nugget weighing
five and q half ounces, were picked
up during the day. On Thursday
the men continued to pick the
bullion with every stroke of the pick,
and when the reporter of the Sun
visited the scenes p. about
eight ounces had been gathered up.
Including q solid slug of three and .
half ounces. The gravel, what
little there Is of it, is per
haps the richest yet found
on Pritchard Creek, and it is expect
ed that when the s!uices are set next
week the pit now being stripped wl1i
give better results than the recent 10
ounce clean up on the Widow. The
work on the Polling is high up on
the northern rim of the gulch and on
the line of the rich streak now
known to exist for q distance of two
miles, and running through the
heart OF Murray. From present ap-
pearances the bedrock pitches into
the mountain, which will make drift
ing ground after the present line is
worked. The Polling claim is 10
Gated parallel with the Last Chance
and about the center, three-quarters
of q mile up the gulch from Murray

Tho Fight Stopped In Second Round
Tho Referee Awards the Fight to
Sullivan.
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Instead of
ten thousand people who have here
tofore been attending the Sullivan
seances not more then two thousand
were in Madison Square Garden to-
night when Greenfield, the English
pugilist, and Sullivan met for four
three-minute rounds under Marquis
of Queensbury rules. The men were
not permitted to continue their
friendly set-to" for any considerable
time, however, for Captain Williams
was of tho opinion they were en-
gagged in q fight and stopped them
In the middle of the second round,
arrested and took both of them to the
station house.
The finishing round was about a.
follows:
Round 2. Both men came on
springy pins. Greenfield spared
and danced for IN opening, found it
and let 20 his right, which found
Sullivan5s face. The latter began to
look wrecked, tut while he was
picking out q place to wreck the
Briton In y ''friendly" way the for
e,gner tapped him on the forehead
with his right. Sullivan was
stuing and rushed Greenfield to the
roues and SOME quick fighting fol-
lowed. Greenfield again ciinched
and was warned by the referee to
stop such tactics. The mob was on
Its feet aud Sullivan again went for
his antagonist. He slapped the
Engli. hman's face to the hue OF q
poppy ami made HIM glare wildly.
Another clinch, and then q warning,
and more shouting. Greenfield was
made to feel that clinching" was
considered an evidence of weakness
| and began to work his hands like
| windmilis in q hurricane. Sullivan
had yet his teeth aud both men were
ABOUT to show how friendly"
| they could be. Sullivan made
= rush ; Greenfield met it and both
| men bounded apart. They sprang
ut each other again and four arms
| played to and fro like the cross
threads of y silk loom. Greenfield's
! head was banged against q post, and
q swinging round arm cut from sui
Ivan clipped the skin from Green
| fields forehead near the right tenn
Die. Blood was on Sullivan's gloves,
! and Capt. Williams stepped between
| the two moi and stepped the fight.
| Time OF round, two minutes. Each
| man went to his corner.
Capt. Williams stepped to the
ropes and exchanged words with
| Chief of Police Walling, who stood
upon the steps, and then ~ Sullivan
and Greenfield were again advanc-
ing from their respective corners,
| toward each other the captain stepped
/ between them and arrested each, ut
the same time pulling the glove from
GieeDfield's right hand.
Tue master Of ceremonies declared
| the match in Sullivan's favor, and
| the contestants were taken to the
! Twenty-ninth precinct station house.
t, Chief Walling ordered the arrests.
| Sullivan will receive IS and Green

A. pepper-Tom's brother-was In
this city . short time ago and made .
persistent effort to sell . lot Of ladies'
wraps, but failed, SIMPLY because
HIS WRAPS WERE INFERIOR
AND HIS PRICES HIGH.
We exposed his methods and he was

OUR EXPOSITION TO BE TRUE.
If 1t had been otherwise it would
have benefited him and injured US.
But the Pepper family Is . numerous

the face of the earth since the DAYS OF
Ananias the First, whose record for
lying is q matter of Biblical history.
ANANIAs THE SECOND,
a lipeal descendent of the Adam Of
the Pepper family above referred to,
and the uncle of A. Pepper, Is now
in Butte, and he too is here tor the

Mark you -"Or the world" Can
there be any mistake as to the family
identity of the man who makes such
a preposterous statement as that.
WE MEET THE STATEMENT
by offering to discount tho low
est prices that any member OF the
Pepper family will quote. ADanias
the second is not here for his health
nor for glory. He didn't c0me to
Butte with calico nor any other
article of easily ascertained value,
but be came with wraps; something
the value of which is very deceptive,
and which, therefore, offers q chance
for big stakes. These mercantile
tramps are all of the same feather;
they are all descended from the same
ancestry, and they all claim to oftel
greater inducements than everybody
else, but the reasonable truth of the
matter is that they are frauds and no
mask can battle their recognition.
