A PROBABLE CANDIDATE.
w. u. Long Is Mentioned as Republic
can Nominee for Sheriff.

There is probably no better known citi-
zen than William 6. Long. He is popular
with all classes of men, and would make a
strong candidate for any office on the Re-
publican ticket. Men of his caliber are
needed TO inspire confidence and add
strength TO the party at the coming cleo
ton.
Mr.. Long was born in Thomaston, Me.
He comes from an old ard respr eta BILE
family that has been prominent in many
ways-the ancestors of his parents, the
Longs and the Maddens, being leading
ones in their State. After completing his
education he followed the sea for years.
The fabulous stories Of the gold discoy-
cries IN California interested him, and be
sailed from Philadelphia for this coast in
the Osceola. UpOD arriving in San Fran
cisco he started for IuOlumne County and
engaged in mining there, aud his interests
have been identified with "Od Tuolumne"
ever since. So highly esteemed was he BY
the citizens there that he was cleo ed to
the Legislatu and made a splendid
record. Mr. Long was appointed Collie tnr
OF Internal Revenue from that comfy
under John Sedgwick. and was an
alternate to the Republican convention.
He was an aggressive and enthusiastic
partyman and worked zealously for the
election If Harrison, and IN recognition of
his splendid campaign work was an
pOniPd by him United States Marshal.
He proved a most efficient official. Under
his able management of affairs there were
new ideas Introduced which not onlv
facilitated the worK of the office, but also
made things easier for the business COM
munitv. 1t was while discharging he du-
ties OF his Office That MI Long distin-

binary executive ability. His private
life has been a quiet and domesti-
Gated one, and his social relations
have always been pleasant with all

CLEVER WORK IN THE RING.
The Victor Is One of the Best
Generals Ever Seen Behind
the Ropes.

LEMoNT, ILL.,, Sept 15.-The contest for
the Championship of the world between
the bantam weights, James Barry of Chi
cago and Casper Leon Of New York, was
decided tonight on the turf at Lemont,
Ill.
A special train carried the fighters and a
large number of sporting men TO the scene
IF the battle. 1t was the most evenly
matched fight seen in many day, and was
decided in the twenty-eighth round in
favor Of Barry.
Leon had an advantage in height and
reach. but Barry did most of the leading,
and in several rounds the call Of time only
saved Leon. Each round the latter came
up smiling and stood the severe punish
ment inflicted by Barry in a splendid man-
Der. No faire1 fighters ever stepped into
ring than these two great little ring gen.
erals. The fight was refereed by George
Siler. The winner now holds the worlds
chamuionsEip and captures $4,000.
The tight for the first twenty rounds was
a very warm one, although no great exc
cution was accomplished by either man.
Barry scored the first knock down and
also drew first blood. la The last eight
rounds Leon. while making brave stand,
seemed daZed. yet Barry was not able 10
accomplish much. In the tweniy-eighth,
however, he pulled himself together. and
after a swift rush landed his left on Icons
jaw, knocking him out.
Neither of the contestants was severely
injured, the punishment being confined TO
slight bruises
