being empowered to employ legal as
sistance did not bind the board to
pay the antiquarian whose labors were

would rejoin, 1--WE are two hours ahead
of California, and consequently, when

two hours more before they reach it.
When we have ten o'clock they have
eight, you bet, and if the Cardiff-Jack-
son fight don't begin there until ten
O'Clock by their time, it will be same
as if it began here at twelve o'clock"
