SECRET sLUGGING.
Three Fights Arranged In Cheyenne and
Occur In Colorado.

For some time it has been known in a
quiet way that a number of prize fights
were being arranged in this city. The
plans have been kept secret so far as was
practicable, but scraps Of information of
the contemplated meetings have been
gathered from time to time. The arrange
ments were nearer completion than was
supposed, however, for yesterday morning
a party Of sporting men boarded the Colo
RADIO train and started for the locality Sc
lected for the fights. The place chosen
for the meetings was a spot not far from
Fort Collins, and thither the party was
bound. li ~
Among those who went. either as par
Elephants or as spectators, were Tom War
rem, the California feather-weight; Harry
Haines, a well known young blacksmith;
Morrison, the middle-weighit; a middle
weight named Evans; several saloon men
and a number. of sports.
There will be three fights with hard
gloves. Warren will be pitted against
Harry Morgan, a young man Of small
a~voirdupois who lives at Fort Collins;
Haines will try to prove to George Glow
hat the latter can OF knock him out, in a
polished and gentlemanly way; and Evans
will have arough and tumble fight with an
unknown. ai
1t is predicted that Warren has en-
gagged to perform no undertaking beyond
his ability and it is stoutly asserted that
Haines will reverse the situation with
Glow and instead of being the knockee
will easily and naturally become the
knockor. rEnn
The several fights were arranged to take
place last evening but evidently did not
occur at that time. The Denver train
was between two and three hours late
when it left the city yesterday and it il
presumed that the pugilistic party did moi
arrive in Fort Collins until SO late an houl
that the encounters were postponed. Nc
word has been received from Tn
LEADERS special correspondent at For
Collins and thereis little doubt that tn
sa~nguinary interviews failed to connect
Considerable interest is felt in certain
quarters as to the results of the istic meet
ings, and a full report ofthe proceeding
will be published as soon as received

WASHINGTON, january S.-The recent
criticisms by some Republican members
of Congress upon Governor Cleveland's
Civil Service letter were made the topic
of an Associated Press interview with
Prof. j. NJ. Gregory, Civil Service Com
missioner, to-day. In response to an in
quiry he said 81 have read carefully
Governor Cleveland's letter to George
William Curtis, and it seems to me an
honest expression of sincere and settled
conviction, with no hidden meaning and
nc contemplated ~uiicthought. The para
graphs relating to those who have used
their places for party purposes, which to
some of his critics appears to be designed
for wide partisan prescription, are alto.
gether too large and plain for such CON
struction. They are so open, frank and
fearless AS to forbid all thought of their
hiding anything sinister and malignant. -

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Armed Socialists Holding
Nightly Drills in Chicago.
Reports From the Ranges
About the Stock.
Notes That Cover a Big List
of Subjects.
Sound Doctrine.

CHICAGO, January 3.-It is understood
that the fact has been clearly disclosed
that a number of armed companies of
Socialists are regularly drilling in this city
and that they number about seven humid
red men. They are equipped with breech
loading rifles and drill according to the
Prussian tactics. The entire practice is
contrary to State law. In view of this
fact and owing to recent threats by some
Socialistic leaders, a volunteer guard has
been placed on one of the armories of the
National Guard. In speaking of the mat
ter editorially to-day the Times says: 1T
is rather an unpleasant condition of things
when it is found necessary to guard the
City Armories against apprehended at
tacks from men who are engaged in
secretely drilling and whose announced
purpose is pillage, arson and murder. 1t
is stated that a small number of militia
volunteers, possibly a squad of ten, are on
watch nightly at the armory of the LIST
regiment to protect it against these antic-
ipated attacks. If this be the fact there
is a scandalous state of affairs in existence.
1t is not the duty of members of the
militia, who get no pay themselves, to
perform the extra work Of sitting up
nights to guard the property of the State.
If such work is necessary to be done, the
State ought to order it done and be will
ing to pay for it. One of the first things
which should be done is to have the mat
ter investigated, and if it be found that
men are drilling in secret for illegal pur-
poses, they should beput under the super
vision of the police Just as if they were
burglars or assassins planning the death
of a citizen"

Special Dispatch to THE LEADER.
Fort FETTERMAN, Wyo., January s.
Through the Belle Fourche country and
about Fort Casper the ranges are covered
with about a foot of snow, which is topped
by a hard crust, making it impossible for
the cattle to get at the grass. The same
state of affairs is true of a portion of the
Sweetwater country. The weather has
moderated very considerably within the
last few days and it is hoped that the snow
will quickly disappear. Pilgrim cattle
turned loose last Fall have suffered quite
severely in this neighborhood and a mum
Der of them have died. The range cattle
were in prime condition to meet a severe
spell Of weather. but the difficulty Of OBJ
tanning food since the cold snap set in
has caused lively rustling and many of
them have begun to show the effect of
their protected fast. Unless another pro-
tracted cold snap follows on the heels of
the last one no disastrous fatality il ex-
pected. The indications now are that the
weather will be pleasant for some time to
come.

PARIS, January General Camper
on's withdrawal from the Ministry has
been the signal for a dispatch Of fresh re-
Inducements to Tonquin. The evacuation
of Kelung has enabled the troops to con
centrate their efforts on Tonquin and
makes a further strengthening Of the
forces there unnecessary. General Cam
peron has been appointed to the grand
Cross of the Legion of Honor. General
De Lisle has been promoted to be General
Of Division.

Fort Mckinney, Wyo., January g.
For the past three days the weather has
been much warmer than heretofore. We're
it not for the deep snow no evidence
would exist Of the extreme cold snap of
last week. The cattle are in great distress
in this section and around Powder river,
where the snow is eleven inches on the
level Up to the present time range cattle
have suffered comparatively little loss.
Just now they are experiencing the great
est difficulty in obtaining even a little
food, but the continued mild weather
makes the outlook much more satisfactory
than at any time since the cold snap ar
rived.
