tSingned) a. L. GODFREY.
Mayor
There as been considerable uneasiness
here concerning the situation. It is re-
ported among the miners and their
friends that Mitchell has called the strike
in this field off on account Of the an
preach OF cold weather when the fam
lilies cannot stand living in tents.
The report says that many OF the best
miners in this section Will be moved by
the union to other fields, this move is
regarded as the best means OF securing
the demands OF the men, Mayor God
frey further expresses the opinion that
the calling off of the strike is largely
due TO the fact that the miners union
feels Handicapped by the practical brig
andage that has been inaUgurated by the
irresponsible and lawless few who have
been almost entirely caused by the an
ger aroused amongst the IawIess ele-
ments by Trainings killing Preacher
Cook.
Trainings death added fuel to the
flames II he had cleared out as ad-
vised by the Mayor. much Of this trouble
would have been avoided

The go was pulled off in the presence
of some forty or fifty true lovers Of tho

pitch while the scrap was going. 1t IS
probable that a much larger number
would have been present had the pro-
posed fight been advertised. but it seems
to have been pulled off on the quiet, very
few of the real sports Of Richmond
Knowing anything of the battle.
Be this as it may, the bout was a thor
oughly up-to-date affair, the men enter
ing the squared ring at catch weights
and scrapping for a purse, which was
offered by a Barton Heights sport. And
while the purse was not any $4,000, it
was a plenty to make the contestants
beat each other up in q manner that was
altogether dandy. To be exactly correct.
il might be well to state that 50 was the
bone of contention, and Brodie is now en-
joying the fruits of his labors in the
ring.
FIVE FAST ROUNDS.
The men entered the arena shortly after
o'clock, each being attired in the full
regalia of thoroughly trained pugilist,
stripped to the waist, and wearing the
conventional flesh colored trunks, sup
ported by piece Of United States flag
bunting.
Brodie was the first to put in his ap-
