Spring Fights.

There is noS no longer any Ques

quarter of yesterday Afternoon !,
DIR. Guion and Henry Resenbrock
were playing social game of cards,
when there arose some misunder-
standing about a sequence or
straight flush and some heated
language passed between the pair,
which caused Rosenbreck to rise
and let go right handler across the
table and land with a loud smack
on the Doctors jaw. 1t lifted hins
off his chair and sent him in heap
in the corner. II rose like flash
however, and make two leaps for
his man. He let 60 left and right,
landing like trip hammer on
Rosenbr,ck's nose, knocking him
galley west, and causing a shower
Of blood to drench the various
State and county officers lex and
present incumbents) who were
playing at adjoining tables. Rosen
brock rose like a mad ball and
leaped on the the Doctor with both
hands playing like the piston of an
engine. They closed IN a powerful
clinch and went swaying ever the
chairs and tables until Rosenbreck
back -heeled his man and fell on
him as he went down. There was a
lively rough and tumble in which he
visited the Doctors face repeatedly
with his right, and when the crowd
separated them they were both
bleeding considerably, and each
wild for another round. 1t was the
liveliest battle seen In this city for
many year, and great science was
displayed on both sides.

A Rustling Cattle King.

Last evening N. H. A. Mason left

all right on the range, he will prob
ably 90 to California He has been
in the snow since December End
aud travelled hundreds iof miles by
wagon and on horseback. Early in

IN which he is interested with Mil
Ter e Lux in the Mahleur country,
Oregon, and left everything in the
best shape possible there. Thence
he went to White Horse ranch, in
spected the range and made the
best disposition possible of the stock.
He was caught In the big snow storm
of January 10Th at his ranch in the
northern part of this county and
went to work to save as nsuy
cattle as possible with the quantity
of hay on hand. He come here
when the snow was deepest and
half the people were ill with la
grippe, went up to Mary's river,
In Elko County, fioundered through
three feet of snow gathering cattle
and getting them to feed, then be
went down to Mason Valley and
attended to the stock there and after
wards went back TO Elko, where
the snow was deepest, from which
place he returned here two days ago.
He does not think the losses to date
on any ofthe stock in which he is
Interested will reach ten per cent.
and he says the losses on the open
range even in Elke county, where
the snow was much deeper then
here, will not be as great as many |
as he has seen last Sum-
mer's calves alive and kicking on
the range where ten days ago there
was not less then 80 inches OF snow.

A POORLY EQUIPPED OBJECT.
II. Williams went into the office Of
the San Francisco Post the other
day and lambasted Hirch, one OF
the propristors, with a hickory
cane, for something that appeared
about him in the paper. Such an
outrage, says the Times-Review,
could never occur in any well regu-
lated and equipped newspaper Office
in Nevada, where bull dog revolvers
are utilized as paper weights and
sowie-knives as copy-holders 1T the

They have already ascertained that they
