Legal Processes Too Slow to Suit the Case

Some one nearly tumbling down the stairs
and breaking open tho door with a bang
that shook the bars in the Jail cells startled
the police about I o'clock last evening.
81 want to see the captain, !" said a scared
looking little individual. 81 "a to see
the captain on private business, very pri-
vate. / would like to tell him 50 nobody can
hear me. Where is he2"
"Well, my dear sir. what can | do for
you}" asked the captain.
Come over here to the corner captain, |
don't want that fellow there with the paper
in his hand to hear what I've got to tell you.
It's very private and personal"
Then in tones as if the captain was a
block away he told his woe, and it was
amusing, but not to him. He said:
yesterday my wife and another man
named Moore, but that's not his really,
truly name. that's Moore, had me arrested
for, they said, making loud noises and
getting drunk. They made me go before a
justice of the peace and remain in
custody of a constable till l got somebody
to get money to get me out.
The constable kept me all day. While he
kept me my wife and this old Moore moved
all my things down on Fifteenth street and
took to keeping house, just like married poo

"Well, what do you want motto doc" tho
captain asked as ne Slcu q laughing Tear De-

house together"
"And then WHAT"

The captain then told him what would be
necessary to do and inquired his name.
", my, l don't like TO do that, but if you
don't tell anybody, it's Byers-Byers,' and
he flew out the door to try to do something
toward bringing his guilty wife and friend
to terms.
Later Mr. Byers secured the arrest of H.
M. Andrews, alias Moore, and his wife.
They were taken from a room on Fifteenth
street between Chicago and Davenport.
Andrews won the affections of Mrs. Byers

Mrs. Byers was charged with adultery and

They are also thought TO have robbed a

cerics some time ago. No later than u week

there than they expected, and this had tho
effect of causing them to leave empty

on Cunning street one night last week and

fellows up, dropped them on the floor and

witness what proved to be one of the finest
and most evenly contested mills which has
ever taken place in Chicago. George Nc
Kenzte, n recent arrival from Australia, and
Charles Wheeler, a colored man from
Omaha, were the contestants, and fortune
finally smiled upon the Australian
who was declared the winner in
the sixth round after a fast and
furious battle. Promptly at 10 O'Clock the
throng set out for the supposed battle
ground from a prominent down town sport
ing resort. IL was an exclusive gathering,
composed chiefly of the sons OF multi-million-
afro merchants. Very fow outsiders had
the Tip and in consequence a promiscuous
crowd was avoided.
The youngsters paid literally for their
sport and soon u good sized purse was sub
scribed and the men glared at each other in
the center of the ring. A prominent man,
high up in fighting circles, managed and
refereed the go" Both men weighed 1876
pounds.
Tim was called and they both went
cautiously to work. Nothing start
ling marked the progress of tho first
two rounds. Lively exchanges opened
round No. 8. Mckenzie was clever and
escaped the repeated leads of Wheeler.
Each man played for the others
wind. Wheeler sprang around the ring like
a jumping jack. Mckenzie tried u vicious
swing, but missed and both were strong at
the end. The Australian opened up stiff
work In the succeeding round and landed
his man fiat on the floor with n straight
right hand blow, drawing first blood.
In the fifth round the negro again went
down, but was quickly IN position. Both
men fought fast, but by clever ducking the
white boy got away from some hard swings.
He countered ana landed well, until at the
close of the round he looked all over q
winner.
The fighters were both comparatively
fresh for the sixth and last round. After ter
rife smuggling Mckenzie landed q knockout
punch on Wheeler's chin. The audience
yelled its delight and dispersed just as the
clocks were striking Z o'clock.
Mckenzie justified the statement OF his
countrymen that he is a clever and a hard
hitting pugllist. He will be matched with

TO DENVER BY CHEYENNE
Reasons Why the Union Pacific May Aban-
don the Julesburg Branch.
cHECKMATE IN DENVER & GULF GAME
Situation hich Mr.. Tfumbun wouid Dis
like to Face-what Employees Say
About the New Schedule
other Railway News.

The conference Of the receivers and offi-
,sers Of the Union Pacific with Receiver
Trumbull of the Denver & Gulf, which has
been held here during the past two days,
came to an end last evening and most oil the
officials went away last night. Receiver
Trumbull, Solicitor General Pattison and
General Freight Agent Wild went to
Chicago and General Passenger Agent Ady
md superintendent Deuel. returned to
Denver. The other officers will depart for
their homes today.
The officials remained in their rooms in
the Willard in private conference all DAY
Yesterday and they would not be inter
viewed on the matters which they have hau
under considerations, but it comes from
sources in which strong reliance can be
placed that Receiver Trumbull went away
from Omaha a sorely disappointed man.
Among the chief topics discussed at the con-
ference was the payment of interest by tho
Union Pacific on Denver 81 Gulf double 5s."
MIR. Trumbull not only gave 1t to be unuer-
stood that this was desired, but intimateu
that in default of payment he would apply
TO Judge Hallett at Denver for a compulsory
order.
For such a move as this the Union Paclhc
people have in store Il CneCkEnate IlaI Nouiu
cause MIR. Trumbull serious embarrassment
This is nothing else than the abandonment
Of the Julesburg branch via La Sale TO
Denver.
Would Damage tho Gull.
This branch from Julesburg as far as La
Sale Is under the control Of the Gulf and
is operated by the Union Pacific by virtue OF
such a contract as under the receivershlp
condition of the system can be annulled by
the Union Pacific at any time. But the por-
ton of the branch from La Sale to Denver
Is under the control of the Union Pacific.
Thus while the latter could get INTO Denver
from Omaha by Cheyenne and on Just as
good time rs now by Julcsburg, the Gull
would be left holding the sack so far as close
traffic arrangement with the Union PACING
was concerned. 1t would be asked. II IL
wished to connect with the Union Pacific at
Julesburg, to pay n rental tor the line from
Denver to La Sale on a trackage basis, an
arrangement which MIR. rumbu appre-
bends with dread.
But this is n turE which affairs are likely
to take. 1t would be no sacrifice on the part
of the Union Pacific, for the income from
this branch is said to fall below operating
expenses, and as the Denver car. which is
now dropped from the main line train here,
lies several hours aud is then hauled TO
Denver by a local train, the abandonment OF
tho branch would cause no loss OF time In
reaching Denver via Cheyenne.

Midwintcr Fair Rates.

1t seems quite likely that rates to San
Francisco and the Pacific coast will get con-
siderablv lower before the Midwinter fair is
closed. Rates for the round trip from Dem
yer are now fixed at $50, and the roads lead
ing out of St. Paul are making strong efforts
to secure a large portion of this business.
The managers of the middle western lines
are trying to arrange n schedule of rates
with eastern lines in order to attract people
from the east to the western const. These
rates will probably not go into effect for
some time yet, but the railways learned n
lesson during the windup of the Worlds fair
which will undoubtedly be profitable to them
in future cases Of a similar nature. 1t Is
thought that with low rates enough people
would be encouraged TO visit California 70
make it a profitable thing for all the lines
reaching the western coast. At least this
is the opinion of one of the well known pas
SpnpGr agents.

Conductor w. r. Cahill was found at his

Many others were seen. Very few were
willing to talk for publication aud would ex-
press no direct opinion. Yet the general
sentiment among the trainmen, in particular
the brakemen and switchmen, is that the

IN ARRESTS.
Amateur Prize Fight Disturbed by the Po.
lice-Sparring Contest.

Amateur Prize Fight Disturbed by the Po-
lice-Sparring Contest.
A fight to n finish was announced to take
place at the Natatorium, Howard and Four
teenth streets, last night.
The match was between Patrick Ford
DR., and Parsons. and was tor the receipts.
Promptly at the appointed hour the pugil-
lists arrived and entered the ring Sergeant
Whalcn was on hand, ana as the men
stepped to the center for the initial bout he
said:
"Gentlemen, if this is a fight to a knock
out you cannot have it here, but If 1t Is to be
s~parring for points you may go ahead"
Young Pat announced he Intended to fight
his best and supposed Parsons would do the
same. Finally it was agreed that they
would spar for points, and the first round
was commenced.
The men came together in a lively manner
MIR. Parsons hit MIR. Ford in tho ribs two or
three good iabs, and In return got a stem
windcr or two on the wind. Here the friendly
bout assumed The proportions OF a real fight
and Sergeant Whalen again reminded them
that If it continued they would be arrested.
The lighters took off the gloves and took
their corners for the second round, but there
vas so much disagreement that Sergeant
Whalen told them they lcould not continue
the light and to dress and leave the hall.
The contest was declared a draw and the
stakes, Sl5, were divided between the two.
After dressing, and Just as the partici-
pants were about to leave, Ed Dee met Pat
Ford, jr,, In Jhe'd doorway, and said, "You
coward, if you had not thrown up the sponge
you could have whirlpool that sop,h Pat re-
sponded in words Ito the effect that ii he
(Dee) wished TO Try IT with the gloves on
or off, he could demonstrate who
the coward was. q Thereupon Dec
hit Pat very hard and was preparing for an
other lunge when the police stepped in and
arrested young Patnahd Dec for lighting.
They were taken tothe station, but as both
had friends in the hall they were not locked
up, Pats father securing his release and

After the' ,Ford- Parsons bout Sammy
Goldsmith and another boy of the same age,
the son of "Kerry Cow asked permission
of the police 10 indulge In II friendly tisticutf,
Ii was granted, and for an hour or so
some genuine good sparring was done,
and Ii was by far the more
interesting of the two events. Every body
laughed heartily as the bows pounded one
another about the ring. After Il bloody nose
or two had been secured it WAS decided that
Goldsmith had come out second best, but
everybody who witnessed 10 said the kid
were all right, but that the son OF the black
smith was a little the more scientific.
