GIANT JACK.

staying a few days in Missouri village,
that first saw Giant Jack. Twas seated
on the piazza of the only hotel that the
place could boast OF, when saw lar.a,
handsome man, accompanied by wy
pretty woman, passing down the street.
He was over six feet in height, with
broad shoulders, deep, full chest,
muscular and well formed limbs, glossy,
chestnut hair, and huge beard Of the
same color, which hung nearly to his
waist He was about 35 years Of age,
and his companion appeared to be about
twelve years his Junior. They were
seated in handsome carriage, drawn by
pair Of beautiful, blooded horses; and
it was evident that they belonged to a
wealthy class Of people.

The Grand jury and EX-Supreme JUS
tice Fox at Loggerheads.
Yesterday afternoon ohm Stevens, fore
man of the Grand Jury, made an affi-
davit before County Clerk Rhoads, for
presentation to Judge Catlin, to the fol-
lowing effect: That Charles n. Fox, a
witness before the Grand Jury, had testi-
fed in a certain matter which the jury
was investigating that he had been en-
ployed by one j. b. Jones of San Fran
cisco, as the latter's attorney, to appear
for and represent him in any proceeding
that might be taken by committee Of
the Legislature, then in session, to COM
pei him to testify in regard to certain al
legged transactions between Jones and
members of the Legislature; that the
said j. b. Jones authorized another party
TO pay him (FoX) his fee therefor amount
ing to $500, and that he was subsequently,
paid.
The affidavit then goes on to state that
when asked by member of the Grand
Jury to give the name of the person who
paid him the money, the witness Fox
declined TO answer, thereby hindering the
Grand Jury in the prosecution of its in
quiry.
Foreman Stevens also consulted per-
sonally with Judge Catlin in regard to
the matter contained in the affidavit The
result was that bench subpoena was is

Arrangements Nearly Completed for
the Coming Struggle.
What the Committee Did at It's Meet
ing Last Night-Money Ready and
Teams in Practice.

An enthusiastic meeting of the Tug-of-
War Committee was held at Federation
Hall last evening. Owing to several
members of one team belonging to the
drilled wrecking crew of the railroad
company, Phil Douglas thought it would
not be advisable for his men to enter
into the contest and take chances of a
wreck occurring during its progress,
hence the withdrawal of that team.
AS soon as it became known last even
ing, three teams that have been organized
and in practice for couple of weeks sent
in their names to take the place of the
wrecking crew. After considerable dis
cussion the committee decided to take in
the Scandinavian team, as they seemed
the most thoroughly organized.
The Committee on Hall, Music and
Platform reported that everything would
be in readiness, and it was expected that
all would be in first-class condition for
the first contest, Tuesday night.
Mr.. Francis, who acted with General
Il. L. hammond as referee in the tug-of-
war contest in San Francisco, is in the
city, and promised to lend the committee
his assistance in making the affair a sue

After auditing several bills and draw
ing check for $500, to be placed in the
hands Of the referee, DIR. G. B. Nichols,
for distribution to the winners of the CON
test the meeting adjourned to meet to-
morrow at the old Pavilion at l0.30
NJ. The committee desires DIR. Nichols
and Judges G. II. Krebs and James Dun
nigan to be with them at that meeting, if
possible.
