Our Democratic and Anglo MugEump
contemporaries are making or trying TO
make great deal Of the alleged faci that
the appropriations Of the late Republican
Congress amounted TO more than Eve hnn-
dred millions Of dollars for each Of the two
years Of is existence As matter OF truth
q considerable share Of this money was sP-
prOpriated TO pay up arrears Of The former
Democratic administration.
But setting that aside, there IS not pre-
sext. hint or intimation BY Democrats or
anybody else that any Of the money thus
appropriated has been stolen OF Is to be ex-
pended dishonesty. The great bulk Of il

Myford and Boyd were young miners en-

for their industry and were leaders Of the
young men Of the neighborhood. II vas
natural that they should be rivals 81 work
and in the sports Of the hamlet but their
rivalry was good nstured until each fell in
love with the same young woman
That Boyd and Myford loved the same
girl became apparent to the gossips Of Black
Diamond some time ago, and It was not long
until 4 was generally known that whatever
friendship had existed between the men bad
disappeared. and that inits place was hatred
and jealousy. The young woman seemed
unable 10 decide between the tEO-if, in
deed, she cared for either-and there are
none in the community who End fault with
her
Last evening Boyd and Myford met with
some friends. Some person mentioned the
name Of the young women, with whom both
were in love. This led to dispute between
the men. and finally one challenged the
other 20 a fight, according 10 prize ring rules
to settle their quarrel The challenge was
quickly accepted. and 10 day the men, sc-
companied By seconds and a lew friends.
met for the fight
Neither Boyd nor Myford was skilled in
the tactics Of the prizs ring; consequently
there was no science. But it was evident
from the beginning that both men were ter
ribly in earnest They rained blow after
blow on face, neck and body, and AZ the end
Of the third round both were terribly pun
ished without either having gained msteriai
advantage.
The foarth round ended the fight and
Nyford's life After few blows had been
exchanged Boyd struck Ayf0rd a heavy
blOE on the j1gular vein. Myford fell IN a
heap unconscious, aad died few minutes
later.
Boyd and the little crowd ofspectstors
we're terror-stricken at the awful ending Of
the fight. They used every means in their
power to restore Myford to consciousness
and worked with him long after life was ex-
tinct. Boyd was smong the most active in
these Efforts When it became evident that
Myford was beyond help the crowd separat-
ed few carrying Myford 10 his home aud
the others returning to their homes. No at
tempt was made to arrest Boyd, but he
promptly surrendered himself 70 the nearest
constable. He has nothing to say, save that
he did not intend 70 Kill Aiyford.
