THE FIREMEN'S RACE.
A Close and Exciting Contest by
 TOmbstone's Fire Keys.

A Close and Exciting Contest by
 Tombstone's Fire Bsys.
 The interest that for weeks attached to the trial of speed between the two com panies of this city, eliminated Saturday in one of the best and closest contested races ever witnessed in Tombstone. Long before the hour appointed for the start, $40, an enthusiastic crowd of men, women and children, lined the side walks and occupied every position of vantage on Toughnut street. At the out come the crowd became so packed that many sought the middle Of the street, and only by unceasing efforts on the part of the officers and specials present was the track cleared of the surging throng; when the fire boys made ready for ac- ton. Standing in line, each team com posed of the crack men of the respective companies, with nerves taut, and every muscle .quivering with the excitement of the moment, they presented a picture that reflects credit upon Tombstone as one of the most efficient 6re-guarded cities in the country. The start was a good one on the part of both companies, and for seventy-hve yards there was no percepuble difference between them Neck and neck the two teams came rushing on, and for time it was a mat. ter of conjecture as to who would be first at the finish. The engine men, however began to lag at this point, and directly | after the crew commenced to drop of one by one, uutil the ropes were nearly deserted Messrs. Osborne and Quigley however, stood to their post, and the, struggled manfully in their efforts to drai the now ponderous cart after them. l
 was too much, however, and with whir the now steerless cart dashed into thu crowd and the race was ended. Th'
 Rescue team wen with ease, nearly ever!
 man remaining at his post when the lint
 was crossed. A pleasant feature Of thu
 occasion was the entire absence of an!
 feeling, other than good nature, and
 commendable zeal on the part of ever! one to make the allair . sueeess.

GRECO-RONIAN MATCH.
A splendid Exhibition ar schieRelin
 Hall Friday night.

Mall Friday night.
 Schieffelin hall was fairly filled Friday night to witness the bout between Prof Lscien Marc Christol, the worlds light weight champion, and Peter Schumacher, ofthis city, and champion of Arizona. John Hennessey was selected as second for Schumacher, and Ben Baron for Christol; referee, Dr. Goodfellow; stake holder, James Hennessey, and Billy Chambers as time keeper. Both men came up with alacrity and without any preliminary manoeuvers closed. For fully ten minutes the rapid, cat-like movement of the men, and the dexteritly with which they successively freed them. selves from what appeared to be an in- evitable fall, was eagerly watched by the enthusiastic friends of the respective champions. Schumaker, however, succeed ed by cleverly executed movement in bringing Christol to his shoulder, and with superhuman effort he fairly forced him to the floor and held hlm there. The referee declared the fall for Schu- Fmaker, and the men retired to the wings. At the expiration of five minutes time ws called and both men came up ap- pa.ntly none the worse for their exer- cise. It was evident that Schumaker was low in determined mood and the professor correspondingly less confident. At the aspiration of one minute and three-qurters Schumacher succeeded in laying tn. professor on his back, and the match wa. decided by the referee in favor of Tombstone's favorite. It was then learned that Christol had suffered fracture ofthe collar bone, which has twice been broken. The professor ac- knowledges that he was wholly at fault Tn understanding the powers of his an tAgonlst, and that he believes Schumacher to be the superior of any man living except Muldoon and Whistler.
 The stake-money, s2oo, and gate money, winch amounted to something like SI5o, was turned over to Schumaker by James Hennessey.

An EPITAPH reporter was informed by Dr. G. E. Goodfellow, last evening, that there was not, in his opinion, the slight est foundotion for the idea entertained by some that Professor Christol threw off the match Christmas night. The in- iurles of Christol are of serious nature, and it will incapacitate him from doing anything in the business he follows for A year or more.

 Dii creek of Dr. Maddox, \ur private soldiers and the wounding of ,e,,en,r, oaoeil and corporal of he Eishthcav- airy. On the following day, news ,,s asain brocSht irto Silver Ci,y of se,, more victims to Apache cruelty and tn. pusilanimous policy so stubbornly ad hered to by Crook. Two men, who bac gone out to bury Lilly and Pnor, also murdered by the Apaches short time before, were attacked from ambush and shot; also one Papeneau, and two others oy the name of Wood Poland and Gfudglngs, who were all of the same party.
 Four days ago the Cooney coach, a few miles north of point called the White house, en route to Silver City, was beset oy band of the red devils, but escaped by hard driving.
 ohr'stmas morning the EPIrAPH pub iShed special telegram from Lieu,en. mt Fisher, giving an accoun, of bold 'ttack upon three men, all of whom were shot down by the Apaches within ight Of Duncan.

 The telegraph informs us that General Crook has expressed the opinion that ,.ood-hounds should be employed to run he Apache hends to earth. Only an 'pinicn, nothing more. He forgets that ,lood-hounds are only successful in track ng down defenseless prey-a creature foot and without weapons. Such is not he case with the Indian.

The second contest was one of 37s yards to hydrant, make connection and get water. Both teams made the run in good shape, the Rescue being first at the plug, but lost the race because of an ac. cident to the coupling. All in all, the occasion was one long to be remembered as red-letter day in the annals of Tombstone's fire department.

From a valued contemporary the Efi- TAPH is informed than an ingenious Yankee has succeeded in constructing watch entirely of paper. We see nothing remarkable in this. Paper has been re- garded for ages as the best maternal on earth to build things with. In fact whole zaiIroads have been constructed out Of the stuff ito the sorrow of the man who held it) We are glad that the Yankee had the job and we the satisfaction of knowing that there is another fool who enjoys his work. The Yankees patent clock suggests the idea that it won't run long-like our soon-to-be democratic contemporary.
