NOVEL CONTEST.
A novel contest took place on Sunday
afternoon last at 2 o'clock, between two
local butchers thirsting for glory, and by
the time they go through it looked like for
olood also. 1t appears that butcher
by the name of Louis Zroder, working for
Cangford e Co., had boosted that he could
XIII and prepare beef for market quicker
than anybody in town. In the employ of
Rasband Brothers there works a young
fellow by the name of Walter Hudson.
Hearing Of the boast of Zoder, he concluded
to take him up" a challenge was there
fore issued. and they agreed to put up a
stake OF s25 each, and the necessary forfeit
was posted with Mosby 81 Nichols. They
met on Sunday, as per agreement, at Ras-
bands slaughter house. Zoder ''took his
meat first, and succeeded in doing his
work in 1875. Hudson then stepped into
the ring, dressed in regulation costume and
a conindent smile. When he had called
time the timekeepers announced 7:10. He
therefore beat his antagonist by 25 seconds.
Both of the men did the job neatly, and
those who were present and understand
such work, declared the time to be very
fine. Zoder weighed about 1S5 pounds,
against about $50 of Hudson.
The Rocky Mountain Telephone COM
pany, on receipt of the intelligence of the
disabling Of its wires in this city, sent out
party Of linemen, with General Foreman
Holland, to repair the damage. The party
reached here Saturday night, and went i'm
mediately TO work, and as communication
