from many points throughout Southern

Several settlers unprepared for the severe
cold have succumbed.
FORTY BELOW ZERO.
BUFFALO (Wyo.), Jan. 23.-Last night
the thermometer ranged between 200 and
/ 40o below zero. Howard West, Assessor
of J ohnson County, started from Buffalo
| to ranch on Pine Creek, eighteen miles
north. The storm was so severe that he
could not find his way and wandered
over the hills until 10 o'clock this morn
ing, when he was discovered by team
ster. He was blind, and both hands and
feet and his face frozen.
THE BIG FIGHT.
Troops Not Very Cordially Received
by Residents of Jacksonville.
JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 23.-The troops
came to town this evening-the entire
Second Battalion of the Florida militia,
in all 135. The troops emerged from the
train in this order: Shine Guards of Or
! land,-34 strong, under command of Cap
tain Bowan; Ocala Rifles. SO: Leesburg
Rifles, 80; Gate City's of Sanford, 81.
Major G. z. Lowell is in command of the
battalion. Each company brought along
its own accouterments, which were
loaded upon trucks and hauled to tenn
porary headquarters. There was no ex-
element among the spectators, who re-
ceived the troops good -naturediy, with
an occasional cheer and occasional sneer-
ing remarks from small boys, who picked
out various members of the command for
complimentary allusions. such as: Hi,
there, get on to fatty" etc.
Something of a sensational nature oc-
Cured when the soldiers were passing
the front of the Globe saloon. All the
way up the street they were met with de-
risive yells and Kisses. In front of the
saloon was an unusually large crowd,
which gave vent to their displeasure by
such volume of Kisses that it must have
made the ears of the soldiers tingle. The
Kisses increased until the noise became q
growl, when the soldiers suddenly, un-
der an order from their Captains, lowered
their guns to position to load and went
through the motion, whether they did or
not. This significant action was at once
noticed by the crowd and only renewed
the ridicule.
The men were very angry when they
reached the armory, claiming that the
iected to on the march from the railroad
station had left them with no good feeling
toward the people Of Jacksonville. OF
the same frame of mind were the men of
Company d, Captain Teller. One pri-
Vate went so far as to say that had he not
received strict orders not to fire unless
commanded, some one in the crowd
would have been hurt when the kissing
began.
'If we face the mob" said one Lieu
tenant, "and get orders to fire, we will do
so, and not in the air, either. Our boys
were brought up with guns in their
hands, and can hit a man across the
street. After the treatment received to-
night 1 know my men are very Ill
humored, and L believe they will shoot!to
kill should the occasion require it."
Similar expressions were made by
others of the battalion, and the fact is
evident that there is much bad feeling
among the boys in blue from outside dis
tricts over the reception accorded them
by large portion Of the people of jack
sOnville. The people are afraid the Gov
ernor's action may drive little business
away from their old city.
INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS.
JACKSONVILLE (Fla.), Jan. 23.-Argu-
ment on the bill praying for an injunc-
ton to restrain the Sheriff from inter-
was called in the Circuit Court this morn
ing before Judge Call, and argument on
both sides is being presented. The
Judge is understood to be inclined to
grant the injunction, If the lawyers for
the Duval Club can convince him such a
contest as that indicated in the articles of
agreement is not illegal.
From rather equivocal statement
made by Sheriff Broward this morning
it is surmised if the Court grants an in
junction he will not take any too many
chances of punishment for contempt of
court by stopping it.
Work with large force was resumed
on the arena this morning, indicating the
CLUB has strong grounds to believe 1t can
pull off the fight there.
Judge Call granted a continuation of
the injunction proceedings against the
Sheriff until tomorrow morning, issuing
temporary injunction, meantime re-
straining the Sheriff from interfering
until the case in court is settled.
MAY BE DECLARED OFF.
ST.AUGUSTINE, Jan. 23.-Late tonight
word was received by Mitchell from
Billy Thompson, his representative in
jacksonville, that if the permanent in
junction was not granted tomorrow the
Duval Club will formally declare the
fight off, and allow the pugilists to work
out their own salvation. The Mitchell
party believes the fight may ultimately
be pulled off, despite the probable funk
OF the club, but are not very specific con-
cerning the methods. 1t was impossible
to see Mitchell concerning the message
tonight.
An Offer to JobeuQuIa.
