Secretary Rusk of the agricultural de-
partment aud the Colorado live stock
commission are having a hot fight in re.
gard to the shipping of Texas cattle. The
secretary knows what he wants done and
so do the Colorado people, but their opin-
ions are radically different.
The secretary telegraphed to Governor
Barber, asking him to stop the sending OF
cattle north by the trail, but did not state
whether be wanted the governor to stop
them here or in Texas, So they are still
probably on the road.
Cattle sent by trail have always arrived
IN Wyoming heretofore in a healthy con-
ditlon, so no trouble is feared by the cat
tlemen here.

A FIGHT ARRANGED.

Glove Setto-

"Reddy" Brennan, the Streator won
der" who Won the fight at Denver with
Cockney Sterling, blew iato the city yes
terday. ''Scotty' Gordon OF Omaha
reached here too, and at once commenced
talking fight and was willing to meet
Brennan.
Brennan heard he was in town and at
once looked him up to arrange for a scrar.
'Scotty' was willing to accommodate him
but wanted a little time to get himself in
shape. Finally a number interested IN
the sport got together and told them that
it the fight was on the square they would
make up a purse.
"Reddy'' is well Known as a fighter,
but 'Scotty'' is an unknown, so it was
decided to give him a trial to see what he
could do. The word was passed around
and a number of sports vent out to Lake
park to see the exhibition.
The boys fought two rounds with four
ounce gloves and both did pretty work.
"Reddy' jumped around as though he
was on springs, always looking for an
opening, but ''Scotty' was in it all the
time and both showed that they knew
how to use their fists.
"Reddy'' has a reputation, as he has
been in sixteen battles, and "Scotty"
claims to have had nine. Both men are
game, and the fight will be one of interest
and worth going to look at.
The fight is for a purse OF 800 and
will be to a finish or else no money goes.
The winner is to have the entire purse.
1t will take place next Friday evening at
Lake Park
