A BULL FIGHT.
Hon. Gibbs Says it Would Be q
Good Thing for San Antonio,

Hon. Gibbs Says it Would Be q
Good Thing for San Antonio.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Barnett
Gibbs and Mr.. Joseph Gunter, Of
Dallas, arrived in the city this
morning from Austin, where they
consulted Gov. Culberson. They
are stopping at the Mahncke
hotel.
eyes, I've had a talk with the
governor regarding the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight" said Mr.. Gibbs
to a reporter for the LIGHT, sand
he said he Is going to try to stop
it. l believe, however, that the
fight is going to take place, for L
don't believe there is a law to stop
it. The matter will be taken into
the courts several times in the
next ten days, but it will end in a
decision in favor of the fight. Over
a hundred men are at work on the
arena at Dallas, and it will be fin
ished in a short while. This fight
will be a big drawing card for
Texas.
"What San Antonio ought to do
now, is to get up a bull fight, to
take place right after the event at
Dallas. Austin will have a re-
gatta, and the visitors to Dallas
will come down to Austin, and il
something is going on down here,
why they will come to San An
tonic too. There's nothing like
pushing a good thing along, my
boy"
Mr.. Gunter is a wealthy farmer
of Dallas. He reports a good corn
crop and says that New York cot
ton will be 10 cents in the next
sixty days. He says he is not in
terested in the Corbett- Fftzsim-
mons fight, but would like to see 1t
take place at Dallas.
Messrs. Gibbs and Gunter r
en- route to the latter's ranch out
west and will leave tomorrow
morning.

To the Daily LIGHT:

To the Daily LIGHT:
The lights along the sewer
trenches should be placed near to-
gether. They are entirely too far
apart to warn persons Of the dan
ger of running into the trenches.
In the Seventh ward, where the
work is going on, the lights are at
least'a block apart and some even
farther. This is too far. They
should be placed not owe 200 feet
apart, at least, out in the suburbs,
where the trenches are apt to be
crossed by persons other than al
the regular street crossings. This
is dangerous to human life as well
as to the contractors, az they are
likely to have a damage suit or
hand IL some one runs into these
trenches. TAXPAYER.

the Carroll Institute for the Catholics. the
Workingmen's Home. the Boys Friendly Inn,
the Soldiers Home. the Central Union Mis-

nothing like those for women. There ought

There ought to be women police at the de-
