NO PURSE OFFERED
NATIONAL SPORTING CLUB 0FPI-
CIALLY SETTLES THAT.

Clubs Manager Not Only Denies That ANY
Articles Have Been Sent or Any Purse
offered Corbett and Fitzsimmons, But
Further states That if Ever the Men
are Matched and Ex-GentIeman Jim
Internationally Apologies to the Club,
Then They'll Consider the Matter of a
Purse, and Not Before.
London, Eng, March 1S.-The Asso-
ciated Press has received communica-
ton which officially sets at rest the
rlaim that the National Sporting club
has offered a purse for fight between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons. The fact Of
such a claim having been advanced was
first brought to public attention here
by the news cabled from the United
States that Corbett had signed the ar
ticles of agreement for contest before
the National Sporting clug.
When it was first denied that any Of
fer had been made for such a contest
and the report of the denial was cabled
TO the Associated Press the claim Of
authority for arranging for such con-
test was reiterated by the representa-
tives of well known sporting papers
here and in the United States. The fol-
lowing communicat ton speaks for itself:
National Sporting club, Covent Gar
fen. March IS, 1896:
ITO the Associated Press:
with reference TO the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons matter, l beg to state that I
never offered a purse or authorized any
pther person to do 50, for contest be-
tween the above boxers.
IF the time should come when the
men are matched and unconditional apo
iogies are rendered, this club shall be
prepared to make an offer, but not until
then. Other statements contrary to
this are absolutely false.

TWO ACCIDENTS.

While coupling care at Milford,
Utah, on the Union Pacific, Brakeman
Pope caught his left foot in a frog and
was thrown under the train, the wheels
passing over his leg. He was put aboard
a special train ard started for the Og-
den hospital. but died before reaching
that place. Pope vas a hero. In 1889
he saved the lives of a number of ex-
c%ursionists by derailing a runaway car
loaded with iron, which was running
at full speed toward the excursion

FIGHT MAY BE FATAL.
An Arizona Pugilist Given a Chilling
Blow in Salt Lake.

Stretched on a rude pallet in the side
room Of the Salt Lake Athletic club,
where but a few hours before he had
stood forth in the very pink OF condi-
ton to battle against Bob Thompson,
Lies Thomas Carter, the colored pugi-
list of Tucson, Arizona, and from indi-
cations at an early hour this morning
he has fought his last fight, says the
Salt Lake Tribune. The blow that
ended the fight struck him into IN
consciousness that bids fair to be fatal.
When Thompson delivered the blow
that ended the fight in the twelfth
round his fist struck the point of Car
ter's chin with terrific force, and at the
blow he fell back, much the same as
falls a jointed snake, so that his head
struck the hard floor Of the ring with
a terrific blow. causing a severe con-
cussion Of the brain.
AS soon as Carter's condition was
discovered DR.. Harrison was sum-
moned to attend him. The doctor
iooiiu hih1 III q ooll VI SouN lSlOH
which was in attendance upon the con-
vulsion. He breathed irregularly and
perspired freely. At times he moved
his limbs, but the movement was
wholly c%onvulsive. His pulse was high
and his temperature was higher. Pres
ident Bloor and several other members
of the athletic club remained with him
all night. together with Drs. Harrison
and Daily. All worked necessarily to
prevent what seemed to them the in
evitable end. His breathing grew less
and less regular, and rubbing and
stretching OF his limbs was finally re-
sorted to as a means of reviving him.
No change appeared. however.
A strange scene was presented In the
little ante-room during the night, and
the tableau Of THE Dying Gladiator
seemed about to be ~re-enacted. Carter
is a powerful fellow. and was trained
down until his body was a mass Of
wiry, sinuous. muscular thongs and
knots. The physician stated that his
condition was due to a combination of
the blows and his exhausted state from
continued fighting. 1t was stated by
one who pretended to know that Car
ter was loath to go on with the fight
at the end OF the tenth round, and so
informed his brother, who made him
go On and finish, and he did, in such
good style that the call Of time may
have been taken up and refrained by
the death angel.
II he does revive, which seems IN
likely. it will be some time before he
will again enter the ring to fight.
The contest took place under the au-
spices of the Salt Lake Athletic club,
and about 300 enthusiasts who saw
1t called it a great success.

DUFFEY A BICYCLIST.

Trainmen coming over from Lara
ME bring the startling news that Chief
Dispatcher E. T .Duney has Joined the
ranks Of the cyclists. The fever did
not grow upon the gentlemanly little
chief gradually, but attacked him sud
denly. so suddenly in fact that he was
not aware of it's presence himself until
the other day when he recovered from a
short spell of Inconsistencies and was
informed by the attending physician
that he had attempted to subdue the
Iron steed" with serious results to
himself and and said Iron steed."
1t is understood that Mr.. Dufrey has
leased a 10-acre lot lear the depot, in
which he takes two lessons each day.
This action upon his part was made
necessary, as several property owners
in the Gem City had already made COM
plant against the chief dispatcher, to
the effect that fences were bein knock
ed down, curb stones torn up and bark
scraped from the shade trees.-Chey-

ORRIS ODER OMPAN

All who have attended the perform
ances at the theater the first three
nights of this week lave been so high
ly pleased that the company may be as
sured a good business the rest Of their
stay here. the attendance having been
unusually large. When a good COM
pany comes here the people of Laramie
do not hesitate to show them that they
are a theater-loving people. The Orris
Ober organization is undoubtedly as
good a week-stand company as we
have ever had. The piece presented
last night was as bright and high a
comedy as anyone could wish to see,
the plot being something after that OF
THE Fools Revenge" although the
ending is much happier as it puts the
people away in the highest Of spirits.
Mr.. Hugh Ettinger, as the old man
who helped his secretary to run away
with his own daughter without know
ing it, showed himself to be a charac-
ter comedian of no small ability.
The success Of his comedy, however,
depended largely upon the support OF
Miss Orris Ober and Mr.. Gilbert Tos-
sick, which was given in a manner
showing they were perfectly at home
in the parts allotted to them. We must
not, however. forget to mention Miss
Katherine Glenn and Everette Paul.
The audience was most highly enter
tanned by the characters they assumed.
Tonight they will present a melo-
drama-entitled. mot Guilty" and from
the newspaper notices of other cities, It
has always been well received and has
given the best Of satisfaction. Tomor-
row night 4 tragic drama entitled "The
Bells" which was made famous by Sir
Henry Irving, the greatest of English
actors, will be produced. 1t Is a piece
everyone should witness il only to say
they have e it. 1t has created as
much sensation as any Sh~akespearean
play and has been translated and pro-
duced in all the large cities Of the
world. Saturday night a high grade
bicycle will be given away to the hold.
