It Is Believed That Governor CuTbersOn
VIII Prevent the Fight.

VIII Prevent the Fight.
AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 19.-Governor
Culberson was seen in reference to
Judge Hurts opinion at Dallas favor
able to prize-fghting. He refused to
express himself, but it is evident he
will ignore the opinion and prevent
the fight. To be prepared for
an adverse opinion he has
been looking up Governor Ross
action on the Sullivan Kilrain fight,
which he prevented from coming off
in Texas. Governor Culberson has
had several copies of the order made,
and it is certain he proposes to pre-
vent the fight.
Texas has a ranger force, controlled
aud governed by special laws, and they
can be ordered anywhere in the state
by the governor without military red
tape regulations. and their special
province is to prevent in,fraction of
laws. Governor Culberson will prob
ably use this force. Ross directed
sheriffs to call on the military, if
necessary, and Culberson's action IN
mistake bly, indicates he viii do the
same and prevent the fight at all
hazards.

1T WAS A DEATH TRAP.
Discoveries Made in Repairing the Nor
NAL School at Eznporia.

EAIPoRIA, Kan, Sept. l9.-It now
develops that the Kansas State Nor
NAL building, which was blown down
Sunday week ago, was a veritable
death trap, and the only reason hun
dreds of lives were not lost was be-
cause the accident occurred on a Sab
bath afternoon. This is being de-
veioped as the repairs are being made.
Six eight-penny nails were the only
supports that were supposed to hold
the immense north gable brick work
which was blown in and caused most
of the destruction.
The anchors proper, two ia number,
were not even decent apologies for the
purpose intended. Even the decorated
ceilings, the beauties of which had
been 50 lauded, were in portions sim
ply hanging from the rafters by wires.
Indignation here is rampant, and an
investigation is demanded.

The anxiety evinced by British cap
ital to invest in promising mining pro

much remark, 1t is expected that a
great many of the undeyeloped prop
critics of Nevada will be sought by
Englishmen looking for investment,
and the return to this country from
England of Colonel w. j. Sutherland
the well known English mining pro-
moter, has been watched for with much
interest,
Colonel Sutherland arrived in Amer

changed cars at tho Mound House for
the Candelaria mining district 1t will
be remembered that Colonel Suther-
land Aoated the Holmes property in
London some years ago 1t is known
that Colonel Sutherland is interested
in the Brown mine at Soda Springs,
and it is thought that his recent trip
to England was to interest capital in
this and also in other neighboring
properties British capital is invest
ing enormously in the mines of South
