W. r. Bowden. a mining man who came
down from near the Idaho line a day
| or so ago, was an enthusiastic Fitzsm-
mons man and permitted no man to bluff
him in backing his favorite. Bowden is
| a sort of Cousin Jack" and perhaps
that is why he likes Fitz He was born
across the street from where lanky Bob
saw the light of day and perhaps this
had something to do with his en-
thuSlaSm, but ct any rate Bowden mad
Wagered all the money he could beg and
| 10 lar 10 1-eyt,f
| been tempted to make run on n bank
when he entered the tunnel to listen to
| the returns with just dollar in his pocket
me reader OF the kilograms did not give
! him very cheering news, but he kept up
! MS courage Just the same, and when a
Corbett man got to chatting him he
Dlurted out: Look here, young fellow
l am q poor man, and cannot bet any
great amount of money All / have on
earth which | haven't bet is this dollar,
| but l will just bet you that dollar against
fight
The other fellow was somewhat slow
reaped his reward few moments later
when he took down the other fellows
dime and walked away triumphant.
Keene. the affable young man who runs
the Merchants cafe on Main street. was
a hacker of the Australian. and placed all
the money he had on the result. He yes
terday announced that on the winnings
he had made he should enlarge the Slace,
taking in Browning Bros. and the West
ern Union. How about raising the roof
q bit?'' asked Judge Hiles. who was in
side taking his frugal meal.
"Oh. did that when heard the news"
replied Keene, as he threw up another
tenderloin.
During the latter days of the legislative
session which has just closed, Johnson,
the sergeant-at-ar was called home:
ard our own Thomas Thomas performed
the duties of the place to the satisfaction
of all concerned. with the exception of
the elevator boy, who it is said. used to
charge Johnson nickel everytime he
rode up or down. But Thomas did Go the
work creditablv, and everyone was well
pleased with his work
It was not discovered until late in the
session that the appropriation for the
benefit of the National Guard had been
made a plea for the retention of the
same. Harbour endeared himself to the
local warriors by saying that if 1t was
proposed TO starve the militia to death,
he was not going to be in with it.

The usual editorial about the brutal
ity of the recent mill at Carson will now
be heard in the lard. Mrs F'itz will come
in for share of criticism because of her
conduct at the ringside, and the moral
editorial pen will warm her up from keo-
kuk to Kalamazoo. Mrs. FitZ had a right
10 get excited, especially in the SIKH
round, when Jim was warming up her old
man so rapidly, and it is no wonder that
she forgot Womanly dignity and grace
when she noted the blood flowing from
the damaged proboscs of her lord and
master. There would have been others
could the Corbett family have remained
to see the mill.
By the way. the Corbett family are said
to be poor as a result of the contest, and
it viii not be surprising if. in few days
more, there IS not a subscription taken up
for the benefit of the father mother and
sisters. The proper way would be for the
cd man to make Jim go sout and hustle
to retrieve the lost fortunes of the family

A private wire from Ogden to The Her
aid last evening conveyed the information |
that John L. Sullivan had entered the /
telegraph Office there and given it out |
cold that when his train stopped in this !
city on its way east, he proposed to stop I
off and clean out The Herald.
That he was madden than a little |
wagon; had blood in his eye, and all that |
sort of thing.
Now, when Sullivan gets angry he is
a bad man. He can beat any janitor on !
earth when it comes to cleaning out |
things. and not wishing to have the j
furniture damaged too much the staff
decided TO take some measures of pro-
lection. The sporting editor, who wrote
was summoned from a meeting of the i
Ladies' Aid society, which he was attend
ing and hidden TO come in and prepare
for action. The football editor. who was
engaged in doing an assignment at re-
Vi-al service in the eastern portion of
town. was called by special messenger,
while the horse editor was compelled to
drop his work and take a position in the
column. After some elaboration, the
horse editor, who is a military man. de-
cided that the formation should be order
In battery, and after drafting several of
the suoernumeraries and rear rank men
who are loafing around the sanctum, the
several positions were taken.
The hours sped by and no Sullivan. The
ammunition in the guns grew stale and
