No Fight In Him.

Bozeman Chronicles: Down at Big
Timber recently, when the prize fight
was a topic of conversation, a young
man by the name of Hall got up a
telegram as a joke and sent IL to Das
Stuart at FL Paso. 1t stated that IL the
fight could not be arranged down there
that Big Timber would give $4,000 to
have IL brought to that place.
Next day a telegram came from Dan
Stuart saying that the offer was being
considered. This started the sweat on
young Mr.. Hall: but when he received a
telegram from his excellency. Governor
Richards. positively forbiddng the
militia at once, Hall became dazed.
His eyes got CLASSY and speech was
dumb. Shortly after another telegram
was received from District Judge
Henry, who said that he was panied to
learn that Big Timber. a portion of his
judicial district had ever thought of so
vile thing as prize fight. 1t was a
matter that called for his severest CEN

No fight should take place. and that II
Mr.. Hall persisted in his designs, he
would authorize the proper officers to
incarcerate him at once. Indeed"
added the judge, II am seriously debat-

By this time Hall felt that he was in
deed in for II, and the possibility of
hanging presented itself He spent a
very bad "a hours before he learned
that the replies to his funny business
were fakes.
