first and second, were fresher than
any of the others. Hale spurted at the
end and between and 10 o'clock made
a mile in 2:40 after riding more than
141 hours. Taylor, the coiored boy, who
has been in buoyant spirits all the

Each man had a little tent pitched near

recorded by ten lights on pole. When

Wyatt carp is attracting widespread
attention at present as the man that
had the nerve to deprive Fitzsimmons
Of a well-earned victory. Alfred H.
Lewis, writing in the New York Jour-
nal, has this to say of him: in the
year1y eighties l was a neighbor Of the
carp family. They abode at Tomb
stone, Ariz., and did much toward MAX
ing that hamlet thrilling place of res
idence.
Wyatt carp is one of four brothers;
two of whom, Julian and Warren carp,
are happily dead and out. The four
carp brothers were abundant about
Tombstone in 1881, 1882 and 1888. The
community in 1883 assumed a positive
attitude toward the Earps and pre-
scented a front to that household made
up in the main of Winchesters and
Colt six shooters. The Earps construed
this into a lack Of confidence on the
part of the Tombstone public. They re-
scented it by shaking the dust Of Tomb
stone from their feet forever. They mi
grated to the Gunnison country. They

in Tombstone. Sheriff Jimmy Behan,

and others of the stage robbers had
boxes opposite. When one side cheer

as whisky flowed the spirits of both
gangs mounted.
AT last Ike Clauton took umbrage
because Nixon opposite reposed his
boot on the rail of his box. Clauton
was too far away for conversation, so
in testimony of his condemnation of
Nixon's action, he pulled his gun and
put q bullet through Nixon's offensive
foot. 1t came off the box rail-
Much good and enthusiastic shooting
ensued. Twelve men were killed and
wounded; none of the Earps, however.
Williams, the confederate of Virgil
and Wyatt carp in the stage robbing,
was badly shot up. He expected to
die and confessed. At this Wyatt carp
and his three brothers, with others of
the gang, fortified themselves in an
old dolby house on the edge of Tomb

George Stallings, who was recently chosen
as manager of the Philadelphia base ball club,
has wide reputation in the South and West
as a successful handler of base ball teams.
Having landed five championships with teams
under his management, he has come to be
regarded as extremely lucky, but it is not
all luck. He has in him the natural elements
of success pluck, good nature and a head for
business. During last season Stallings was
captain and manager of the Detroit team of
the Western league. His base ball career
began with the same club TO whose manage
