The MAYOR and Mr.. Harris

EN-Supt. of Streets Harris desires
the ARGUS to say for him that the
statement appearing in the ARGUS of
few days ago in reference to the
relations between the mayor and
himself was absolutely correct in
every particular and detail, and no
misrepresentation in any way Mr..
Harris was surprised to see in the
Union. j. \. Huntoon quoted as sus-
tanning any contrary view and having
seen that gentleman has secured the
following from him on the subject:
Rock ISLAND ILL, April There
appeared an article in the Union of
the 81, in which my name was used
setting forth certain facts as to
promises made. | know nothing as
to any promises, but the letter refer
red to as | stated. | meant the Chi
caro letter of offer to Harris.
J. n. HUNTooN.
Briefly, when Mr.. Huntoon was
talking to the Union he referred to
the letter Mr.. Harris had received
instead of the mayors letter, which
proves that the ARGUS has not mis-
quoted Mr. Harris, nor is the latter
rentleman's memory as to facts
shaky.

MURDOCH A MARK

evening to witness the go between

the men entered the ring at 1920.

city, were in Cox's corner, Jim
O'Brien. and j. Maher, of Iowa City,

Raible being time-keeper for Muir
dock, John Mcmahon for Cox, and
Tom O'Brien acting in official capac-
ity. The fight was at catch weights,
both entering the ring at about 156
pounds. They were introduced by
Referee Sweeney, and moment
later time was called and they went
at it.

the fifth, Cox scored first blood by

Only "a Question of Time.
In the sixth and seventh rounds
Cox plainly had his man on the run,

groggy, the call of time saving him.

At the call of time Cox forced the
Davenporter into his own corner and
administered some hard punis hment.
There was some hard mitigating.

seconds but finally resorted to clinch-

he managed to stay until the call of

Time was called for the eleventh
round but Murdock's seconds had
taken off his gloves and contended
that it was only a 10-round contest.
Referee Sweeney would give no de-
cision until today. there being 4
dispute. Cox is well built, shifty on
his feet and displays considerable
cleverness. He is cool in the ring
and from all appearances could put
up a good hard fight with anyone.

Mayor McConochie in his contribu-
ton to Thursdays Union in seeking
to forestall any act of THE ARGUS in
relation to his utterances speaks of a
report that reached him as to the
plan of campaign to be pursued by
this paper and among other things
saws: ''Garbled extracts OF my
speeches were also to be circulated;
in some cases | was to be painted as
an infidel and unbeliever, in others
as a narrow minded religious bigot."
As stated yesterday a guilty con-
science was no doubt father to the
suspicion and while no reference
whatever has heretofore been made to
any assertion of the mayor in public:
Il peruSal of his speeches brings to
light some of the things that his
honor no doubt wishes had been left
unsaid, and which is the cause of his
present uneaSineSS.
The Mayor was in AN Ill Mood.
In his address ut Harper's theatre on
the evening of March %. 1898, on the
occasion of the visit of the head OIL
GERS of the Modern Woodmen to the
city. he. without the least proyoca-
tion whatever. made one of the most
vicious onslaughtS on Christianity
that has ever escaped utterance in
this city and with just as little rea-
son on such an occasion. he in the
next breath assaulted the saloon in the
most bitter terms. In speaking OF
the relations OF church and state on
that occasion. the mayor said: 1t
has always been the policy OF both
church and state to combine in an
unholv alliance rs a matter of self
protection. and during;the dark ages
1t was the policy of the church to
stamp out all the intelligence in the
world except what was in their own
narrow fold, and am sorry to say.

history of the world will prove the

years ego. About year and a hall
ago he was arrested in this county

j. GUINAN

We find the following in the Viz
ginia Chronicle of Tuesday morning:
a private dispatch received from
Reno late yesterday afternoon stated
that James Black, the livery man
who skipped from here Sunday night
shipped his stock which he took with
him, from Reno yesterday morning
for Tru ckee, and took passage by
train himself for the same destina-
ton. His family, when the dispatch
was sent, were still in Reno. 1t is
understood that Black has formed a
partnership with a Truckee resident
and will open livery stable business
there.
The question now arising is what
VIII the people of Truckse do with
this refugee. He fed from Nevada
and crossed the State line in the
night, for the purpose of swindline
creditors. If he opens in Truckee
the people of that town ought to
boycott him as they did the Chinese.
Such a man should move on as he
is an undesirable citizen III any COM
munIty.

A Communication.

ED. APPEAL:--I heartily agree
with you in regard TO the propriety
of the people of Ormsby county rails
ing a fund to defray the expenses of
Mr.. Bartlns in his trip to the East
IN the interest of silver. The gentle
man is a poor man and it would be
very unjust to burden him with the
expenses of his trip. Whatever the
people of this State may think of his
ability, it is generally conceded in
the East that he is the best posted
man on that subject in the United
States, In rendering us the use of
his ability in that great monetary
conference, he is doing us a great
service, and no more should be ask
ed of him.
You are starting out in manner.
which if continued, you will not be
able to raise over seventy-hve or
eighty dollars. And what will that
paltry sum amount to in dsfraylng
his expenses2
The fund should be as much as
four or five hundred dollars at least.
Your list of names in the contri-
button fund this morning contained
one at least, who can well afford to
subscribe twenty dollars and others
that could we'll afford to give more
than one dollar each.
l would suggest that you continue
on the dollar limit no further. There
are many poor men in this commun-
ity, who are out of employment and
who can i'll afford to contribute one
dollar; and of them nothing should
be asked. But men, who have means
or good business are fortunately
circumstance and can well afford to
be generous in contributing to this
fund. Put me down for So.
Yours,
j. GCINAN.

APOCKETED CLAIM.
How j. NJ. Douglas Lost Nearly
$1,000.

The case of J. M. Douglas VS.. L.
ID. Folsom, administrator of the
Stevenson estate, was decided on
Tuesday in the Supreme Court
against Douglas. The case has some
highly peculiar features.
1t appears that j. M. Douglas
loaned G. G. Stevenson S15S, 600,
and after his death there was bal
ance due of between six and seven
thousand dollars. This claim was
given by MAJOR Huffaker, attorney
for Stevenson, to Trenmor Collin,
| attorney for the Stevenson estate.
Mr. Coffin went to San Francisco
and wrote Huffaker a letter, in which
he stated that Mrs. Stevenson, as
executrix of the estate, declined to
pay the same.
Mr., Douglas accordingly brought
suit, and to his astenishment, Mr..
| Coffin cody went on the stand and
/ swcre that he had never presented
the claim to Mrs. Stevenson, and as
the attorney for the estate, held that
it had not been presented inside the
specified time required by law. He
| swore that it had been in his coat
pocket all the while.
| Huffaker, after he had time to re
cover his breath, dug up the follow
| ing letter IN Cofin's own hand
writing:
652 Mission ST., S. F., Dec. "a, 81.
F. NJ. Hufaker Esq, Virginia;
DEAR SIs:-Mrs, Stevenson declines
to entertain or hear to the PROPOSE
ton made by you, when you handed
me the claim of J. NJ. Douglas
against the estate of her late hus-
band. | therefore return the claim
to you.
| TRENMoR COFFIN.
The claim was not endorsed as re
iected ard when he next saw Coffin
he asked him why the claim had not
been endorsed and was assured by
him that Mrs. Stevenson had re
fused to endorse.
Coffin swore that Huffaker had
agreed to settle for less amount,
but this Huffaker denies Under oath.
While Coffin was being cross ex-
amined, he still svore that he never
presented the claim to Mrs. Steven
son, and Judge Rising, from the
bench asked the following pointed
, question:
mir. Coffin do you still say, aftei
that letter of yours, that you never
presented the claim to Mrs. Sveven-
son, the executrixl"
Answer: YES sir.
Coffin made this acknowledgment
without blush. as if he was testi-
fying to some matter of fact every
day occurrence.
The Supreme Court held that thu
claim had not been presented to the
! executrix, according to law, and de
, cided that it was therefore too lat,
for Douglas to collect.
