THE FIGHT POSTPONED.
Makers Eyes Inhamed, Civ
en- as the Cause of
Changing the Date.
Monday Next Is Now Set Apart and
Arizona Has Been Selected as
the Place.

The great mill between Maher
and Fitzsimmons has been bulletin
ed all over the land as a postponed
affair until Monday next, the 18th,
on account of Maher's eyes, which
have become infamed.
The managers still give out that
the affair will be pulled of, and that
in a short time.
The sports have all gone to Ell
Paso and it now looks that Dan will
"cut the mustard" and forever af-
terwards will be the "hOt stuff,
With the "puggies." 8
If you want to bet that it will
take pace or that it will not, just
look some fellow up that wants to
bet and place your money. We
think you have an even break either
way.
There is one thing certain, the
crowd that would have gone there
had they not been interferred with
would have been immense, while
now it is comparatively small,

A BUSY DAY.

The postmaster and his assistants
are all wearing smiles today at the
idea of making so much money for
Uncle Sam in selling one cent post
age stamps to be put on love
missives. The delivery clerks tell
us, never in the history OF the
postoffice here, has there been such
dumping of cupids "twaddle. "
The school girls and boys here
haunted the lobby all day, and
have made many pilgrimages to the
window with usual question, ANY
thing for me2" We think Uncle
Sam should have a special 25 cent
stamp made to be used on st.
Valentines day and one of the
denomination of dollar for April
fools day, as this would help the
old man out of the rut and the
bond issue would be thing
not to be resorted to.
