BUTTE, Mont, December 16.-Between
z and O'Clock this evenings John
Gallagher died in his house from the ef-
fects of injuries received ftom G. Fl.
Ward in brutal fist fight that took
place on Sunday morning. The cause of
the fight WAS dispute over trifling ac-
count. The fight was formally arranged
to take place at sporting resort q few
miles from town. Only the principals
and dozen others we're present. One
hundred and five rounds were fought,
all OF them fiendish in their brutality :.
the men fighting like tigers. Ward
knocked Gallagher down ninety-eight
times. Gallagher's left arm was broken
by blow in the forty-eighth round, bat
he fought ON with undiminished ferocity
his limb swelling as big as his body, In
the ninety.eighth round Ward caught
Gallagher off his guard and delivered q
terrible right.hander under the chin.
knocking Gallagher senseless. He par.
TALLY recovered and fought seven more
rounds in a half-dazed condition, re-
ceiving horrible punishment, until
knocked out in the 105th round.

newspapers short time ago we're full of
the suit for libel brought by Mrs. John
W. Mackey against an English news
paper man, who had blasphemously ac-
cused that lady of having had low as.
sociations--of having done washing or
something of that kind. The lady
resented the allegation with becom.
ing spirit. In the numerous biographies
|of Mrs. Meckey we are as
sursd that che was a daughter
of Col. Hungerford, veteran of the
Mexican war. Grand old man! He
was as good barber as ever welded a
razor in Virginia City or elsewhere, and
his title of Colonel was one of those
pleasing fgments of the Imagination so
common in the United States. He was
just as much of Colonel as he was a
Bishop. Neither more nor less.
On the whole our American sristocracy
is making great progress. On the Pa
cific Coast il is largely known as the
Irishtocrscy. A rose by any other name
would smell as sweet.

THE Board Of Supervisors have started
out to prosecute the bondsmen of the
celebrated San Fernando vaquero, Ell
Hyder Hammond, of happy memory and
elusive presence. This is an altogether
praiseworthy move, and the wonder is
that they were not proceeded against
long ago. What pleasing visions of gay
and festive revelings at the expense of
the county the name of Ell recalls! He
justified the oriental prefix to his name.
Like o French poet described by
Daudet, Hammond could have exclaimed, !,
81 believe in love as 1 believe in God."
He was model exemplar of the party of
all the intelligence and all the decency.
The misfortune of the people of Los
Angeles was that he made them pay for
the lascivious pleasings of the lutes which
played for his entertainment on Ala
media street to the tune of So
600. He was one of the benefactions
given to the people Of Los Angeles
county by ''the party Of great moral
IDEAS" That $1,000 recovered would
help the taxpayer out not a little.

MAYOR HAZARD is soon likely to gain
quite reputation as fulminator OF
vetoes. He yesterday vetoed the pro-
posed cut of forty feet on Buena Vista
street, on the ground that tunnel would
be better, and he vetoed the license ordi-
nance on the ground that taxing the
Wholesale dealers at the same rate as the
retailers would multiply the number Of
saloons. His veto of the ordinance
making manufacturers pay license of IS
a month, will be approved by everybody.
We certainly ought to throw no impedi.
ments in the way of starting industries in
this city.

In CONSIDERING the great diversity of
manufactures that can be successfully
established here, we are astonished that
no practical movement has yet been
msde to erect smelling works. Los An
geles has by far the most attractive
situation in the State for the profitable
establishment of such works. She is in
rail connection with q mineral territory
that would now furnish ores enough to
supply smelling works of the largest
class. All the smelling ores Of Arizona,
Calico and the Lava Bed districts could
be smelted here ct saving of
five hundred miles of transportation.
The works at Melrose, Alameda county,
and those of Selby in Contra Costa
county, are the nearest to the mines of
this region Of country. When we have
rail connection with Phoebe, vast
extent of mineral country, aboundipg in
rich smelling rock, would give 90 great
an impetus to the business Of smelling
works here that their capacity would
have to be enlarged indefinitely. The
logic of successful smelling would
be to enlarge the facilities OF
the establishment 80 as to in
clude separating and refining works
indeed every branch connected with q
complete metallurgical establishment
would inevitably follow the successful
operation of smelling works. To initiate
a great enterprise Of this character, it is
only necessary that the company should
start out on comparatively small scale.
Its tendency would be to grow and
expand, and the men who inaugursts an
enterprise Of this character will confer a
boon Of inestimable value upon our city.
If carefully managed and developed to
the capacity which our tributary mineral
districts would warrant, ten thousand
men would find constant employment in
these works before many years had
passed away.

If they would adopt the rock ssphaltum
pavement. Hope street, which is today
gutted by the great overflow from the
Arroyo de los. Reyes, would have
carried all the water of that stream
off nicely, without damage to their street
or its curbings, If they had only paved it
with bituminous rock. In the end such
a pavement would have subserved the
purpose of economy, as we'll as have
avoided q very "distressful" state of

WASHINGTON, December 16.-The Vice.
President laid before the Senate the
report of the board of army officers on
claims of Nevada and California for
money expended during the late war in
the equipment OF troops. The report on
California's claim is very voluminous,
and the board takes occasion to compli-
ment the work Of the California troops in
the late war. 1t is shown that the State
paid for volunteer service $451 $40, on
which interest was paid to the amount of
81 500, ,546. California spent for military

LINZ NHOuIu Juryy Coutrbry W 0xpeCtH-
ton, found verdict, and q carefully con-
sidered one, quite evidently. On its face
it is the result of compromise. Mr..
Culver evidently made his eleven obsti-
nate fellow jurors realize the enormity
Of their conduct. 1t would seem to those
who are outside of the hurly-burly OF
the passions which agitate the citizens OF
Chicago that all these psople ought either
to have been hung or turned loose.
They were either guilty Of conepiring to
assassinate DR.. Cronin-s conspiracy
which was coasummatsd-or they were
not. If they were there could be ise
fractional guilt. The slightest knowledge,
with connivance, made all these men as
guilty of murder as if each indi.
vidually had struck the blow that
killed Cronin. There is grave reason to
doubt whether, in the present condition
OF public sentiment in Chicago, these
mon could have got q fair trial. While
the presiding judge was impartial and
mastery in his charge. the District At.
torney and the Police Department from
the opening stages showed a determin.
alton to press the machinery of their
offices to the last extreme to bring in q
verdict of guilty. 1t may be said that
not only were the prisoners prosecuted
but they were prosecuted with a skill,
vigor and animosity seldom equaled.
There are great undercurrents of hate in
the local politics of Chicago, and it is
quite likely that these figured to quite
appreciable degree in the late trial.
