Peter Jackson and combination will ar
rive in this city according to latest adyices
on the 18th of this month. Besides the
habit Peter has acquired of admiring hand
some women. the colored gladiator has en-
ulated John L. Sullivan's example of
knocking out or rather getting knocked out
by liberal potations of liquor.
In the language of the bad man Peter has
become "a blood" and very jolly fellow
among men who squander their earnings
and the earnings of other people before the
bar.

time to open there on Monday night, March

HER PET PUG.
When the Montana Kid" was about to
face the unfortunate Tom McNally at San
Jose the other evening, some one gave MIN
Tip" that he was wanted on the outside
for few moments. The spectators became
uneasy while the kid" was transactlng
some business on the outside, and many of
the boys thought that he was making some
agreement with friend to throw the
match. Such thing did not happen TO be,
however, as the result of the fight
proved cOncluslvely that Mr.. Egan fought
to win. 1t has since been learned that
the kid while sojOurning in Sacramento
became enam0red with one of the leading
show ladies of that city, who advanced his
royal pugship several dollars. Egan prom
ised to repay his benefactresS with interest
the money loaned him on certain day, but
neither Egan nor the money came to the
scratch on time. The lady who was out of
pocket became wrathful and Jealous, and
when she procured an attachment at head
quarters with tears in her eyes she said to
the city officials that the loss of the money
did not give her much concern, but the
thought of losing her dear little pet pug
was more than she could stand. AS a
means of jealous revenge she had
the papers served ON the "Kid" by
Sacramento officer the moment the referee
decided the fight in his favor, but, as pre-
viously stated, Mr.. Egan had got the tip I"
and made provisions against any disturb

purse to friend before he entered the
ring. just as the referee said 1.-THE Kid
wins the fight" the purse was handed over
to his friend, and few minutes afterward
but just in time to be too late-the attach
ment hove in sight.

the Alpine Clubs slate for a cross-country
run from Sausalito to Black Point next Sum
