SOME MIDNIGHT MONKEYING.
The Cowboy and the Sailor Take a
Hand-A Raid Upon the
C0l0red Block.

Yesterday morning between 1 and
O'Clock, young man came tearing down
Second South street to Main in search of
an officer. He met citizen on the cor
ner, and with the blood streaming from
his nose, the terrified messenger tried to
explain that there was something wrong
going on in the Benites' block. 1t was
several seconds before he managed
to give the gentleman to understand
that two soldiers were trying to
break into an upstairs room to
rob the place. At this moment "Cow-
boy Adams and 'sNed' the sailor, fol-
lowed by several other striking
characters, came up, and hearing the ac-
count as given in broken breath, the cow
boy and sailor started on run for the
scene of action. On. reaching the EN-
trance leading up flight of stairs to the
disturbance, halt was made by one of
the number saying it was "gun play, %
and they had best go a little slow.
There was not visible cop in gunshot,
so the cowboy threw off his overcoat,
swallowed sword or two, and with a
SoChou uulluOs rushed upstairs so
quietly in his moccasins that not a sound
was heard.
On reaching the landing all was dark
and still, and not a sign Of life was mani
fest. He raped on door, over which a
faint light shone through the transom.
and voice called out, "Who's there ?''
open this door and find OUT
The door opened, and soldier followed
by niger wench confronted the mys-
terious-looking pilgrim in his buckskin
breeches, white sombrero, moccasins
and fire-red shirt.
They wilted. The soldier Jumped to
the bottom of the stairs, with the assist
ance of the Cowboy" and disappeared
in the shades of Commercial street. The
negro wench took after her U. S. lover.
yelling, Come back, honey, come back, !"
at every jump. A large crowd soon gath
cred, and ratified bystander was about
to turn on the alarm for the city fire de-
partment, when two policemen appeared
upon the spot and stopped proceedings by
dispensing the crowd. The sailor and
cowboy then meandered down the street,
followed by a swarm of curious night
hawks, anxious to witness anything in
the way of excitement.

WHITTEMORE ANSWERS.
A Statement i'm Regard to MIR. Dick
sons Signature for Simpsons
Pardon.

The article which appeared in this
mornings Tribune headed ''The Simp-
son Pardon" created some little agitation
among those at all interested, Mr.. G. 0.
Whittemore being accused of securing
Messrs. Dickson and Variants signatures
to the petition for pardon through mis-
representation. This afternoon a Demo-
Graf reporter called ON the accused to
learn his statement of the affair.
MIR. Whittemore, what have you to say
pertaining to the charges made against
you in this mornings Tribune?''
1.-The article is entirely false. In the
first place, | did not procure Variants
signature to the petition. Simpson OBJ
tanned that himself. Dickson promised
to sign the petition when should get one
up, and when | presented it to him he
desired to have the petition left with him
few days to further investigate
the matter. L left it with him
for two weeks, when he went to San
francisco. then went to Varian and OBJ
tanned Dlckson's address, when Varian
told me that Simpson had written to him
to sign it, He said he would consider
the matter, and the next 1 knew of # I
found the petition one day lying on nv
desk signed by Mr.. Varian, who Joined
IN the recommendation of JudgeZane. Mr..
Varian stated that Mr.. Dickson was alb
sent from the Territory, but that the pro-
scouting attorney had informed him that
he concurred in the recommendation for
Simpsons pardon"
did Mr.. Dickson fully understand the
purpose of the signature ?"
HE could not have helped but UNDER
stand the matter, for he saw his name in
the Tribune as a signer of the petition the
day it was sent to the President. If If
was not with his consent, why did he
remain silent until the matter had been
acted upon by the President?
What further action, if any. do Won
intend taking in the matter?''
Il shall send to Washington for the
petition that was signed by Mr.. Varian
IN order to show that he did give his sig-
nature to the document upon the in
formation from Mr.. Dickson that he con-
Cured in the NATTER
The young attorney seemed consider
ably exercised over the difficulty involved
IN but said he would show himself ex-
actly right in all he had said or done.

Mr.. Jack Burke, the celebrated pugilist
arrived in town last night, accompanied
by his manager and trainer, Don Murray
and is now quartered at the Walker

ly after his arrival and the following con
versation ensued:
''Do you intend to stop over here any
length of timer"
''That l cannot tell, as Won know I an
on my way to San Francisco, where an
matched to fight Mike Cleary. Although
1 have not fully made up my mind, I may
stop over and give an exhibition"
Now, tell me MIR. Burke, what is your
opinion of Sullivan?v

The soft glove contest between Mike
Fitzgerald and s. F. Smith has been ar
ranged to come off in this city on or be-
fore the 9TH of November. Both men are
heavy weights, and are now undergoing
proper training,
Fitzgerald is well known in Salt Lake
as good and plucky sparrer, while
Smith, "the Unknown" is said to be
equally good with his fins, and a genuine
set-to is looked for by those interested in
the art of boxing. Smith will arrive
tomorrow and take quarters at the Cliff
House with his trainer.
Just where the exhibition will take
place is yet undecided, but the manage
ment will probably procure some large
hall or one of the theatres if it is con-
Guided to hold forth at night. Ifnot, the
sports and fanciers of the manly art will
be called to the Driving Park or some
other adjacent suitable place near the
city.
