We reproduce elsewhere in this issue
extracts from Governor CulbersOn's let
ters To Sheriff Cabell Of Dallas county
anent the COrbett-F itzsimmnns fight. The
language used leaves no doubt as to the
governors purpose. That he will pro-
hibbt the fight is as certain as that the
law forbids it. We are not at all sur
priscd at this. Knowing the governor
"a we do, we have never doubted that he
would take the stand he has. Those
people who think him making grand
stand play may undeceive themselves.
We repeat again, the governor is not in
any sense a bluff, but a man Of decision
and purpose. Manager Dan Stuart
may as well prepare for his hippOdrpme

In the spirited correspondence between
the governor and Sheriff Cabell Of Dallas
county, anent the approaching prize fight,
the latter is IlOn-cOmmital as to his in
tentiOn Of preventing the fight, and the
humiliation Of his State in permitting its
laws to be ovcrTidden by an alien Gle

the governor to take in the matter, and

ROW AT FLAMBEAUS DANCE
A Fight in Consequences of a jam on the
Floor.


There was great trouble at the Dem
ocratic Flambeau club on lower Kansas
avenue last night, which may result in
somebody being arrested. dance was
given for the purpose Of raising funds to
nav for a piano. An admission of fifty
cents was charged, and the crowd was
large. The great trouble with the func-
ton was that the floor space was not as
large as the magnitude of the event re-
ouired The space was 30 limited that
not all of those desiring to dance could
be on the floor at once.
Amos Sc1walm, who drives a wagon
for the Symns Grocery Co. was among
those present. and he had with him Mrs.
Schwalm and their two children. When
the quadrille was called Mrs. SchWalm
protested that she couldn't dance it, so
her husband engaged Mrs. Andy Hart
wick for that set. Mr.. Schwaim and
Mrs. Hartwick were among the first on
the floor after the dance was called, and
they selected a desirable place near the
speakers platform. Soon the floor was
crowded with couples for whom there
was no room in any of the sets. When
the music started up and Mr.. Schwalm
and Mrs. Hartwick were about to "cross
over" they were surprised to have
another couple step in directly in front
of them and go through the
movements OF the quadrllI6 In
their place. The man is said to have
been Bill Haven Schwalm whisr cred
in his ear: 'I'll settle with you after this
dance" and retired as gracefully as pos
sible from the dance, taking Mrs. Hartwick
with him. The dance went gaily on, but
when the quadrille was over, and the
echo of the last note from the violin had
ceased, Schwalm walked over to where
Haven stood and said by way of pream-
BILE, "No gentleman would have done
what you did" Haven said something
back, and Schwalm replied forcibly.
The result was fight in which others
came to Haven's aid, and Schwalm was
hustled from the dancing hall through
the kitchen and beer room to
the back porch, where those who
were hustling him proposed to
throw him down the back stairs.
By this time Mrs. Schwalm
had gone to her husbands rescue, and
siezed a fat man, who had hold of her
husband and choked him until he re-
leased his hold on Mr.. Schwalm. The
children were screaming and the excite
ment and uproar had become general.
Mrs. Schwalm rushed down the front
stairway and found Sergeant Donovan
and another policeman. By this time those
who had intended to throw Schwalm off
the second story porch thought better of
it, and the excitement had su ubsided some
what No arrests were made.
Today however, Mrs. Schwalm was at
the police headquarters to talk the mat
ter over with the arresting powers. She
wants warrents issued for her islands
assailants.

TO PENSION REBELS.
Remarkable Plan Proposed by
G. A. r. Commander Rollins.
1t is to Pension the Confederate
Veterans.
WAS WE'LL RECEIVED.
His Remarks Net With Favor
from the Soldiers.
Said Such a Movement Could
Start Only in G. A. r.
AS WELL RECEIVED.

DENVER, May 2.-In his address to
the G. A R. encampment of Colorado
and Wyoming department, Commander
Rollins advocated pensions for confede-
rate veterans.
There is but one place." said General
Rollins, "where a movement of this kind
can start, and that is in the Grand Army
of the Republic. Charity is the corner
stone of our order. These old soldiers
of the south are our countrymen, and
their children will rise up and call you
blessed
He recommended that the convention
appoint committee to present memo
rial on this subject to the next national
encampment. His remarks were we'll
received.
There was much discussion among the
veterans over the recommendation this
morning before the Encampment con-
vened. The suggestion was generally
received with favor, and leading mem-
beIs expressed the opinion that the prin-
ciple advocated by General Rollins will
receive the Endorsement of the encamp-
ment, which resumed it's secret session
at 10 o'clock today.
"A delegation from the encampment
waited upon the ladies of the G. A. r. in
convention this forenoon and assured
them that the veterans recognized their
organization and accorded them the
place to which they were entitled as CO.
workers and helpers of the veteran SOL
diers.
The ladies organization elected the
owing officers: President Mrs. Theresa
NJ. Porter, Aspen; senior vice president,
Mrs Ruth E. Foote. Denver; junior vice
president, Mrs. Caroline Keeler, Pueblo;
treasurer, Mrs. Jennie h Banks, Lead
vile; Chaplain, Mrs. Esther Mcdonald.

The University of California Athletic
Team Starts East.

Team Starts East.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.-The Univer-
sity of California, athletic team consist
ing of eleven men, left this morning for
Princeton. They will go in the special
train chartered by the Young Mems
Christian association, as far as Chicago,
and then on to Princeton, where they
are billed to meet the Princeton college
men on the 11ub instant.
Manager North left two weeks ago to
arrange the details of the different con-
tests in which the team is expected to
enter and viii be at Princeton on the
date of their arrival to meet them. Capt
Koch says the team was never in better
well on the day they meet Princeton as
they do now some startling records will
be made.
He had just received word that Uni
versity of Wisconsin wished to meet the
team on their return trip and that the
Chicago Athletic club has made good
offer for a meet to take place in the
middle of June. These two proposi-
tions for contests were entirely unex-
pected and in all probability their chal-
lenge will be accepted.
Two silk banners with embroidered
figure of bear and the word ''Califor-
MIA" on each have been presented to the
team by the University of California
Alumni association.
The contests arranged for up to date
in which the team will enter are as fol-
lows: Princeton, May II; Pennsylvania,
May IS; American Inter Collegiate
championship, New York, May 25; west
ern cham pionship, Chicago, June l.;
University of Michigan, June 8; Illinois
or Denver Athletic club, June 15.

RIGHT IN HIAWATHA.
Saloons Break Out In the Governors Own
Home.


The Hiawath2 World says: It is re-
ported that an Everest man has started a
saloon in Billy HALLS old stand The
place is being watched. It oughtn't to
take much watching to secure all the
evidence needed.
If it is SO difficult to enforce the
law the city ought to take hand
and make the joint keepers pay
a heavy fine every few weeks. This
has become the custom in many Kansas
towns. MIR. Pointer (the first saloonist
could doubtless be induced to pay from
500 to 800 month for the privileges he
now enjoys without paying a cent. The
new joint keeper would probably pay a
like amount cheerfully. This revenue
will tend to reduce taxes
We do not favor the idea at all It is
shameful; but if joints are to be tolerat-
ed they should pay tax.
We conclude that the county is no
longer temperate. Neither is the city,
perhaps, but the city fathers may have
a sufficient eye to the almighty dollar to
influence collecting a monthly fine from
the joint keepers

THE sroRY DENIED.
Not Pensions But a Home for INDECENT
Soldiers Was Proposed.

Not tensions but a Home for INDECENT
Soldiers Was Proposed.
DENVER, May 2-The impression that
has got abroad that General Rollins IA
vored extending pensions to Confeder-
ate veterans is incorrect What he pro-
posed was the establishment of home
for INDECENT and suffering southern vet
Grams. His exact words were as follows:
"There remains one other subject of
which l wish to speak. The war is over.
We are, | may almost say, for the first
time a united people. This nation is
great enough, intelligent enough,
sufficiently advanced in all that
goes to make up what we call
civilization when victorious to be gener-
Gus and even liberal to the vanquished.
"The south, or at least many parts of
it, is not the home, but rather the stopping
place of many poor, crippled.
| broken down old men. They
were brave soldiers, not the
| leaders, but in the ranks of an army
whose record for bravery and soIdierly
conduct cast no stain upon our fame as
a nation among nations.
''True, they were not our comrades in
the grand army sense, but they are
our brothers in the American sense.
A home somewhere in the sunny
south, where these old soldiers
can be cared for, sheltered, fed, clothed,
and in sickness nursed, will cost but liz
tie comparatively. 1t will soon be too
late to be generous. There is but one
place where a movement of this kind
can start, and that is in the Grand Army
of the Republic"
| This forenoon's session of the encam D.
ment was spent in routine work. So far
as learned there was no discussion of
General Rollins recommendation, and no
action was taken in regard thereto
'The morning papers misquoted what
| said about our brothers in the south, -
declared General Rollins to an Associa-
ted Press reporter today
81 never suggested a pension for the
men against whom we of the Grand
Army fought The idea l wished to con
vey was that north and south are re-
united, and that we are all equally chill
dren of the great republic. l do not
see how l could have been SO misrepre-
sented, but my words are a matter of
| record"
