KINNEY AND LEWIS
 MAY BE MATCHED
Both Appear Eager To Meet In Arena To See
 Who Is Best

Kid Lewis of Lewoell came to Bis bee yesterday evening to make ar engagements to meet Jim Kenney in a finish fight. He stated that the charges made that he was afraid of Kenney were untrue. He said that Kenney came to Lowell a few days ago and wanted to fight him because of the announcement that was made al the carnival last Sunday night.
 Lewis said he was not responsible for this, announcement, and that he had seen Kenney in the afternoon be- fore the fight was to be pulled of and that Kenney had told him he was not, in shape to fight because of his fighting the night before without be- ing in training. According to Lewis. the tBo had agreed to not go into the ring. but would match themselves for q finish fight sometime in the future. In speaking of the incident at Lowell. Lewis said:
 "I regard fighting on the streets as not only unprotessional. but a knock to true sports. When Kenney came to me in Lowell and wanted to fight. l told him I did not want to fight on the street. but that if arrangements could re ~0ade I would 20 into the ring with him at any time on the Mex ican line.
 ''T have spoken t~ Dick Goodwin about a match between Kenney and m:'=elf. and he is now laying plans to pull off 6 fight. I am ready to meet Kenney at any time a fight can be arranged, but I want to have mo- tice about ten days before so that I can be in fighting condition" That the fight between Kenney and Lawis will be pulled off in a few days is t1e general belief. They are both ar-ious to meet in the ring and will fight at the drop of the hat. No per the two, other than Kenney believed Lewis responsible for the announce ment made in the stadium of the car nival Sunday night This Lewis de- nies. stating that the manager of the show made this announcement on his own TeSPohsiDiti'S' anu uHhHo"H 'o him.
 Considerable feeling is evinced among the sports. Lewis can get lots of backing in Lowell and some in Bis bee. Kenney has plenty of backing in Bisbee and some in Lowell. It is the belief that the betting will be about an evn break,

nugget to one of the dive keepers in the upper payt of sBrewsry Galcn- claiming that 1t was worth S35. It's value was greatly in excess of the articles he purchased, but he did rot care for that, it was bogus anyway.
 Yesterday morning the nugget vas brought down town and turned ever 10 one of the jewellers for test It did not take him long with a little acid to inform the owner that t was nothing more than a mixture of cop per and brass. and that it was valued at probably less than a cent
 The victim immediately hied him. self to Justice McDonald's court al d tbere swore to warrant against Sheridan, who was apprehended with Out any difficulty. He was somewhat Indignant, and stated that he !ouid gladly redeem the nugget if it..Sas not perfectly satisfactory However, he failed to redeem it.
 Sheridan has been in the city ut short time, but during his stay as made several startling statements to the effect that he has discovered The , lost art of tempering copper, and is able to temper it in five different degrees. from the soft to the hard. s
 Ano,her of Sha.fdanis claims fs that he can take copper and other metals and make a substance that is so much like gold that it will fool even the jewellers. It is believed that he even went so far as to be- Heve his own statement. and in at tempting to pass one of the nuggets has been brought up with round turn.
 The nugget Sheridan passed does greatly resemble gold, and would fool the average person, but under the acid test will not stand the strain Several of the Sheridan nuggets art in the pockets of people with whom he has become acquainted since com ing 10 the city.
 Officers are inclined to believe thai tljs is not Sheridan's first escapadt with bogus nuggets and that if his record previous to coming to the city is inquired into it will be found that he has passed them or attempted tc in other parts of the territory.

that he had repeatedly notified Clark to move. and Mir. Clark had put him off by saving that he would get new quarters just as soon as he could find a room.
 King stated that a great injustice had been done by the publication in an evening paper of the statement that his place was headquarters for union sympathizers, and that the morning paper in Bisbee had made matters worse in the correction pub Hshed in which it was again stated that several residents of Lowell had stated that such a meeting had been held and that it was held al the Ma son House
 King was very much distressed ap- parently and seemed imbued with the idea rrat the people thought he had done something criminal by renting a room ia his lodging-house to J. P. Clark the organizer.
 All the saloon men in Bisbee have agreed to keep their places of busi- ness closed on Monday until after the polls are closed.
 Yesterday it was announced that the election judges intended to keep the polls open until every vote had been cast, regardless of the hours for merly fixed, which were from s am to g pm.
