Nick Burley. a we'll known pugilist, in
writing to friend from Nome has this to
say of Dick Case: He beat Paddy
Smith in two rounds. 1t was easy for
Case, who is a good little man, only
weighing 140 pounds. He then fought
Jack Curley twenty-seven rounds to
draw. Gaze gave away thirty pounds
and he had all the best OF it from the
first round to the last. Case had no
marks while Curley was all cut up and
was saved from a Knockout five or six
times by the bell. Case is great little
man and no mistake. He has four claims
here and is very we'll fixed.
Third street was the scene OF lively
runaway on Saturday. Max ia ckson
had sent team to his house to move the
family's household goods out to the His
cock ranch on the Mckee. While stand
| ing in front OF the house the horses be-
came frightened and started up the street
with wagon and hayrack hitched on
behind. The driver, Mr.. Cameron. was
run over by the wagon and was picked
up in a dazed condition. Later he was
found to have fractured rib. One of
Mr.. Jsckson's boys was on the load when
the team started and the spectators ex-
pected to see the lad killed at any mo-
ment. When near Mr.. Heckman's house
the wagon and rack parted company and
the boy crawled out from under the
furniture uniniured. A little damage to
the harness and some of the furniture
was the extent of the mischief done.
