IN JUDGE NICHOLS, COURT.
Prize Fighting (G) Schemes for Bilking
the Public will Hereafter be :
Suppressed.

Before Judge Nichols, yesterday
apr eared, E.miner and Ford, the
men who engaged, on Sunday night
last, in q fasco called q prize fight
John Duffey appeared for the prose
cution and MI. Keithley for the
defense.
The law In such cases is very ex-
plicit. -:
Jack Wait ac.ed IA referee, but
stated before accepting the position,
that If the fight was "square" be
would act, Otherwise he could not
" I'LL the bill" Very many witnesses
were called, among them Dune
Mcdonald, an authority on matters
pertaining to the fistic arena. Both
Wait and Mcdonald testified that
the affair looked like q fraudulent
proceeding 49,.
The defendant, Esminer, said in
court that he would fight for stakes,
if there was any. Nj. Duffy based
bis argument upon the testimony
given by these three men and asked
for conviction. The attorney for the
defense entered a plea in excavation
of the crime committed by these men
who had violated the law by fighting
on Sunday, and also for promising q
genuine exhibition which subse-
quently proved a fraud.
The attorney for the prosecution
denounced the. proceedings of these
would-be frauds in such bitter lang
uape, that the court, officers,
and spectators felt the force of his re-
marks, but in this denunciatlon of
such hiking schemes the attorney.
as endorsed bv every honest-mind-
ed man who listened to his plea.
The MINER refused 70 make report
of the fight (?) in its Tuesday MORN
ing issue, from the fact it was well
known the affair was a money-mak-.
ing scheme and intended for that
purpose alone. The evidence adj
duced yesterday proves conclCsively,
that these matters have heretofore
been sprung upon the public simply
in the interest of men who wish to
make money in any manner aside
from honest laboriny. ,,
Judge Nichols fined both partici-
pants in the shameful affair, and
thereby gave warning to others OF
the same Xix that the Sc proceedings
must cease or justice would yank.
them into the tolls and clutches OF
the law. IT,.

A miner from the head of East
Fork of Eagle Creek brought to the
bank of Murray OF Saturday the
washings of a single pan Of dirt.
which, on being weighed. reached
the value of 1850. His statement
was thai it came from a prospect
hole on a tributary to Eagle Greek.
The sight of fourteen ounces OF
dust in one pile so early in the sea

trates what Pritchard Greek is capa-
tile Of doing the coming summer.
The gold Wac brought to the Bank of
Murray on Sunday morning by the
Frank Grove Company and came
from the Frank Grove claim, q mile

out in the regular way, but was the
result Of prospecting with q pan
during several days OF the week. :
The Webfoot claim on Dream
Gulch made its first clean up for the
present season on Sunday, and the
returns show a little over two ounces
| of very fine gold. This result was
obtained from the tallings of last
years washings. which were run
through the sluices to get them out
of the way Of the drain ditch being
run for active operations with by
| draulics next month, if the weather
| does not interfere. The clean up
shows that there ia q mass of fine
| gold in Dream which passed through
the sluices last season, but will, be
provided for during the present one.

Frank Gardner was killed at Kane, Wednesday,
by Geo. Johnston. Gardner, who is a brakeman
on the Erie road, and whose home Is IN Kane
entered the Bucktail Hotel last night, in compa-
nv with James Dalrymple, fellow brakeman
and Dalrymple attacked and began to beat IN q
merciless manner cripple one of the guests OF
the house. Johnston, stout teamster, lnierlereu,
and while in the act of putting Dalrymple away
from his helpless victim, was attacked from be-
hind by Gardner. Johnston turned in terrible
rage and struck his assailant heavy blow with
his fist, breaking his neck and killing him in
stantly. The fatal effect of the blow was not OBJ;
served until the disturbance was quelled, and
then Johnston said II have done this In self
defence I'll 60 to smethport and give myself up
and get advice" Johnston then went out, and
he has not since been seem 1t is believed that he
has fed the country, Gardners remains were we're
brought to Erie Thursday night to his wife ana

very bitter among the railroad men, and his dis
appearance saved him from summary punishment
