A regular Sullivan-Corbett set-to
occurred at the court house yester-
day, and the atmosphere up around
there is so warm yet that all the
county officers feel as if they had
on their winter clothes in the sum-
mer time. The principals in the
affair were Frank Stanton and
Lawyer +. d. Carson. The diff
tculty arose over some business
matter, and after few preliminary
words the Combatants went at it.
Marks of Strawberry" rules gov
erned the fight, with intervals of
"catch-as-catch-can." Father Hyde
was referee and timekeeper, and
Ben Jones and Lee Wade were the
principals seconds. Only one
round was fought. The men toed
the scratch at $40 p. m, and started
up amid considerable enthusiasm.
After seeing that the mill had
started all right the two seconds
being a little behind with their
work went back to their labors and
LETT the battle i'll charge of the
referee. Referee Hyde being a
man of fixed habits, and as one of
his habits is to take a nap about
that time of day, went to sleep after
watching the scrap for a few minutes,
and SO the scrap was without con-
troll. Just before train time the
fighters made some kind of an un-
usual noise which frightened the
lady clerk i'll the sheriff's Office, and
so Sheriff Lands went into the
room to see what was the matter.
He awoke Referee Hyde, who in
formed him that the men were
fighting. So the sheriff promptly
separated them. The referee de.
clared it draw. Time I:Is hours.
No arrests as yet, but Marshal
Ruhl is collecting evidence.

BOB FORD'S PRESENTlMENT.
Prediction That He Would Come to 4 Violent
Death Realized.

When Bob Ford. the slayer CT Jesse
James, was shot and killed in a saloon at
Cret de, Col, three years ago, he wOr 10
his shirt front what was supposed to be at
the time q twO-karat diamond stud. Ed
Medry, who was la the saloon when the
young outlaw was killed, tells this story
about Ford and the gem.
bob was q quiet fellow, who always
paid his debts promptly. His word was
as good as q bankers bond in money trans.
actions. but at the time of the killing he
was down at the heel. He always wore 4
big diamond stud In his shirt front, and
when he fell ! took the stud, which was
covered with blood, and with the consent
OF his wife kept 1t more as a mOmentO than
satisfaction for 500 l had loaned him q
few days before. 1t was hot until after
the funeral that I discovered that the stone
wa 4 'phoney' one, and, while It wa .
splendid substitute for the original, its
value would not equal that Of q broken
down six shooter. l suppose that Bob
pawned the real stone, but death overlook
him before he got money enough to redeem
It.
Zone day Bob. In dtcussing the assas-
sinatiOn OF Jesse James, said that he was .
mere boy with . heat filled with foolish
notions when he shot the famous bandit.
lie imagined that the cOwardly act would
bring him lasting fame and wealth, but a.
he grew older Bob never ceased to curse
Gov. Chittenden and his brother Charles
for leading him to commit such . crime.
He frequently predicted that he would
come to but one end and tina: was q violent
death at the hand of as equal 4 coward as
he had been in his youth.
when he fell with the fatal bullet In
his body, Bob simply waved his hand to
the bartender and feebly moaned, Il told
you; knew it, The young man was
dead before his wife reached his side"
Mr.. Medry is still in possession of the
spurious stone which he took from the
dying mans bos0m.-Chicago Chronicle.
