skull. AS previously stated he fell on
the ice three years ago at North Yaki-

A Prize Fight

Not to be outdone by more preten-
tious towns, the local sports pulled OIL
regular Marquis of Queensbury rules
prize tigh in Leavenworth last Tues
day evening. The contestants were a
travelling chicken who answers to the
name of Slim Nelson and a Great
Northern fireman by the name of Joe
Backus. The ground selected for the
mill was down near the Wenatchee
bridge, where a ring was made by
stretching a rope. The fight was more
or less of a tame affair from reports
that have reached the Echo, and lasted
five rounds without doing any damage
to the person of the combatants.
At the end of the fifth round foul was
claimed by Slim and after considerable
squabbling the fight was declared OIL at
a draw. The gate money, amounting
to some thirty. five dollars was divided
equally and was likely considered
worth more than the honor OF winning
the fight. Some fifty took enough IN
leresI in the affair 10 make up the ben
eft.

bridal party, helped to smooth some OF
the preliminary legal wrinkles, for
which they were all thankful.
