A FAMOUS FIGHT.
A Story of the Early Days In
Leadville.


popularity than little Bob Briefly lie
was q bright fellow, genial and So
ciablein his disposition,warm in his at
tachments and courteous and obliging
to everybody. Nothing was known OF
his antecedents except that he had been
driven west by domestic difficulties,
had settled down in'Leadvllle' opened
Il law office, and had rapidly acquired
about oil the practice that was aiioat
in those days. Hank Mclaughlin
lived in an adjoining camp, where he
enjoyed the reputation OF Desperate
and was frequent visitorat Leadvllle.
lie was big, savage fellow, the very
opposite OF Bob Briefly, who was be-
low the medium size, delicate and gen
tlemanly. From the flrst the two
seemed to hate each other There was
natural antipathy between them
Instinct taught each to sec IN the other
a deadly and dangerous enemy
One day Mclaughlin struck the little
mining town in an ugly humor and
proceeded'to make himself very numer.
Gus, and people knew before he had
been there two hours that trouble was
brewing between him and hrierly'
They had met up the country some
time before the discovery OF rich silver
rock in the Leadville district and came
very near having q difficulty then The
fact appeared to be that Mclaughlin,
who was anxious TO be thought
fighter, was insanely jealous OF Brier-
ly's well-established reputation in that
respect. The first night OF his advent
into camp he got on jamboree, flour
ished his revolver and sworc that no
man who wore billed shirt and n
plug hat could make him take
water As Bob was the only one in
town who sported such evidences OF
civilization as a white shirt and n high
silk hat, Of course all knew that Hank
meant him. But Bob only smiled on
the riotous demonstrations OF the big
rough, and quietly walked off and
went to bed From that hour, however,
the town felt that something serious
was going to happen Strangely
enough, in place where shooting
scrapes were of daily occurrence, Lead
vile got excited all over at the pros
pect OF quarrel between Bob Briefly
and Hank Mclaughlin. The death
dealing merits OF the men were dis
cussed freely, ana money was wagered
on the final results Notwithstanding
McLaughlin's size and bloodthirsty
talk ljrcrly was the popular lavoritc
The little fellow ha | won his spurs in
many n hard-lought scrlmmage, and
many OF the miners were ready to bet
that he would kill his opponent or
drive him out OF camp
Leadville had among Its cosmopoli-
tan population In those days quite
sprlnkling OF men VINO believed That
the right way for gentlemen to settle
their difficulties was according to the

counters were well enough in their
way, but the proper thing was d duel

IT seems that the Third precinct
in Salt Lake was lost in the shuttle in
the supreme court, and the Tribune
and some republican benefciaries are
supremely miserable in consequence.
We have no tears to shed anent the
disaster. 1t is true they can fall back
upon the good book and the consola-
tlons to be found there, and that is
about ell that lies within their grasp.
We recommend the Tribune TO buy a
cheap bible at once and try what re-
lief it may find there. It is a terrible
thing to be thus thrown upon such re-
sources, when it is so well known how
inadequate they are bound to be.

The British political campaign, wnfcN
for weeks has been too dull to arouse
the slightest popular Interest, has at
lshgth suspended until midwinter The
queens speech at the Propagation is
much More significant than usual. Il
contains an important intimation re-
garding the strained relations with the
French republic. which caused the great
est alarm in the foreign Office few
days previous.
French aggression in west Africa had
recently become so threatening that
England was almost forced to the cone
clusion that it was intended to be an
open affroBS. The news has at length
come that the French troops occupied
Kumassi, the capital of Ashanti, last
month, and it is believed that the Eng.
lish government possesses information
Of still bolder invasion of British ter
ritory. Now that parliament has adj
journed the country will be deprived Of
official news of this and other foreign
complications during the remainder Of
the year.--NeY York SUMS London

Mr.. MARTIN will be little careful
in the future as to how he attempts to
beat the presidential veto, especially
when it vetos an impudent attempt to
foist a rebel bushwhackeT on to the
pension roll. No honest rebel would ap-
ply and a dishonest one should GER
tainiy not receive any of our dear
Uncle's cash. We served four years in
the southern army, but were never that
sort of rebel. We know lots of the
dear old boys whom we would be glad
TO see pensioned, but they were never
bushwhackers or robbers. Sometime
our good old Uncle will get up to
where he will be for giving enough
to see the old soldiers of the south
pensioneds but when he gets there,
there will be few of the great grand
children Of the old fellows left and il
will amount to nothing.

The subject Of our participating In
the proposed financial conference soon
TO take place is variouslY looked at by
the friends of silver. Indeed we can
see no good reason 60 refuse. II the
action of the conference is not such as
we can consistently approve, there is
the resource of independent action al
ways open TO US. We fear, with Sena-
tor Stewart, that the gold bug infu-
ence in Europe, is still too strong for
as, but we believe in doing all we can
to influence favorable action in Europe,
but if the worst comes, we can always
act independently on this side. If that
conference proves to be follure we
can call the other silver nations to join
us and remonetize any day, and that
is the thing to do. We would take the
far II, South America and Mexico

TO held another conference at once, to
dete' mine how she could best get into

night was unique in its way. 1t was
the first of what we understand is to be
a series of parties, including all the
residents of the ward without regard
to religion, politics or social rank.
They are held for the one laudable
purpose to bring al manner and classes
of people together, to make them bet
ter acquainted to the end that the good
pvople may operate together for good
purposes. This Is as it should be. In
such service no creed and no politics
will operate to invite or exclude peo-
pie. The attendance of the president
of the stake and his higher officers is
an earnest of the heartiness with
which he approves of the plan. There
were people of all shades OF religious
opinions present and a general good
time was had.
