EARP's SPOKANE RECORD.
There Is No One There Who Can
Say a Good Word for
Him

SPOKANE, WASH, Dec. 6. - Wyatt
carp ls known in this city, and the many
old time Cnur d'Aleners have no good
words to say of him. They charge him
with being the head of gang of lot jump
ers in Eagle City in 1884, which termi-
mated in quite a fight between his gang
and w. NJ. BuZZard, a man who refused to
be bluffed by them. carp, it is said, was
the brains and general of the gang, among
which were Bill Payne, Ferguson. Hol-
man and Jack Enright, all noted charac-
ters of the early days of Eagle City. Jack
Enright was a nervy man who did the
gun-play act, while carp, in his saloon,
dance hall and gambling-house. arranged
the plans and set the gang to work. w. M.
Buzzard, the man who had the fight with
them, was found this afternoon by your
correspondent and told the story of his
fight with the gang
Il went to Eagle City in the early part
OF 1884" said Mr.. Buzzard. "The carp
gang, headed by Wyatt carp, were then
Iot-jum ping. They would take lot away
from som one by force and sell it to an
innocent purchaser. Then some others of
the gang would come around. drive the
man off and resell it. Eagle City was a
booming and new mining camp. and
there were many desperate characters in
the place. had secured lot and started
to build hotel. when the carp gang put
up the job to take it away from me. Jack
Enright came up and told me to leave,
and l promptly told him | would not. l
went to the cabin and got my gun to be
prepared for them for saw trouble. In
few minutes the whole gang came up
the trail, which, being packed down below
with he surrounding snow, afforded good
breast-works. They all opened fire or me
at once. l dropped behind log, but q
man at my side was killed. We then kept
up continual fire for some time, i from
behind the log and they from the trail,
being sixty feet apart. l had three holes
put through my hat, while Jack Enright
had a piece cut out of his cheek by my
bullet.
"a large crowd was attracted to see the
fight and finally, being assured l would
have fair play, gave UP to Deputy Sheriff
Hunt. No one was arrested. This was
the first time the gang had been resisted
and it rather broke the practice, but at
the same time the camp busted for the
reputation of the carp gang kept people
who wanted property away. OF course, |
don't know il carp shot at me, or if he
did, how many times, but do know he
engineered the scheme and was in the
gang. l think he devoted his time to
getting cartridges for the balance of the
gang. carp was considered bad and
unscrupulous man. He was not particu-
larIy brave in gun plays, but he was al
ways considered out for the dough- .
Many other earlv-timers in the C9ur
d'Alenes were seen to-day by your CORE
spondent, none of whom had ANYTHING
good to say of carp. He was generally re-
garded as bad man at that lime and in
that camp.

Dauohters Summoned.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Dec. 6.-Mrs.
Matthews, wife of Governor Matthews,

stomach tonight. She had been indis-
posed for couple Of days, but was feeling
so much better this evening tnat she was
up and about, and she and the Governor
were alone in the library about $3.50 O clock
when she started to walk across the room
and fell to the floor with blood rushing
from her mouth and nostrils.
The Governor carried her to couch and
the family physician, DR.. r. French Store,
was called at once. He saw the fatal
nature OF the trouble and kilograms we're
sent to their two daughters, Mrs. Cortez

SENATE AND HOUSE
CONVENE TO-DAY
First Will Come the Last
Message From Grover
Cleveland.
Then There Will Be an Ex.
change of Sentiments on the
Recent Election.
Various Bills, Including Collis P. Hun.
tirgton's Refunding Scheme, Will
Come Before Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Cit is not
likely that any thing will be done in either
house of Congress tomorrow except to ex-
change congratulations or coincidence, as
the case may be, over the result of the elec-
ton, and 10 listen to the Presidents mes
sage. When the last session closed the
House immigration bill had, and now has,
the right of way in the Senate. 1t is the
unfinished business, and win be called up
at the expiration of the morning hour.
Although known as the House bill on the
calendar as reported to the Senate by Mr..
Lodge, it is materially different measure,
all of the House provisions having been
stricken ont except the enacting clause
and new bill substituted. This bill will
be called up on Tuesday by Senators
Lodge and Chandler, who desire to push it
to vote as quickly as possible.
An effort will be made to secure new
dates for the consideration of special
orders that were not reached during last
session. These measures are: Senate bill
to prevent the desecration OF the Ameri-
can flags; House bill to amend the act to
prevent the determination of ur-bearing
amin ais of Alaska; House bill to reduce
the cases in which the penalty of death
may be inflicted, and Senate joint reso-
luton proposing an amendment to the
constitution providing for the election of
Senators by popular vote.
An important bill, over which there
has developed bitter fight. is the Detroit
bridge bill for bridge across the Detroit
River. 1t was postponed at the last session
until the first Monday in Decem ber.
In addition to the appropriation bills
there are several measures that will con-
tend with each other for the right of way.
Prominent among these are the bills to
refund the Pacific Railroad debt, to admlt
the Territories OF New Mexico and Ari-
zona and Mr.. Davis resolution relative TO
the assertion and enforcement OF the Mon
roe doctrine.
In the House of Representatives the
death of ex-Speaker Crisp will be an
nounced by one of his former colleagues,
and after the reading of the Presidents
message the House will adjourn in his
honor.

No More Fights.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 6.-Dan Stuart
arrived here from Dallas, Tex, this even
ing. He had slight recurrence of the
stomach trouble that recently aiied him
and remained in his rooms at the Planters
Hotel. At11o' clock he left for New York.
During the ten minutes interview he gave
to reporters he stated that the Fitzsim-
mons Sharkey fight had settled nothing,
but had done much to injure pugllism.
There will never be another first class
meeting in San Francisco" said he. THE
men who pay to see square contests will
never again assemble on the Pacific Coast.
II the affair had been under the manage
ment of my club there would have been
no after roceedings in which law court
sits in Judgment"

AN OVATION TO BOB.
Twelve Thousand People Cheer the
Fighter Who Was Defrauded
of His Rights.

If the people of San Francisco were not
of the opinion that Bob Fitzsiinmons was
unjustly dealt with on the night of the
fight with Sharkey and that he had been
delrauded of his just dues by the decision
of Referee carp, it is certain that they
would not have turned out en- masse as
they did to see him yesterday afternoon
give an exhibition of bag punching and
show the blow that knocked out the
Pride of the Navy" There were fully
1900 people in the crowd which as
sembled.
AS soon as Fitzsimmons reached the
boxing platform he threw off his gown,
and as soon as he was recognized he was
greeted with hurrah that rent the air.
