Cans sized UP the soda water array

in the center OF the concoction, so Joe
went TO il and invited the house to
have one on him.
Hardly had the order been given.

The two men stared hard at each other
and each tried to look unconcerned'

hostile look till he disappeared

NELSON HAS JOB DELUsION.
Nelson spent the day at the Cold
field Hotel. He was in the best Of
spirits though sore at the bad treat
ment he SAYS was accorded him. The
Danes face was badly battered, but
he appeared as spry as ever and talked
and chatted with his intimate friends
in the same old way.
"Of course I would have liked to
have won and shown the people of
Goldfield that ] am the champion of
the world" said Nelson but it was
not my luck I knocked Cans cold
and there is nothing to that. They
sobbed me at the last minute. / can
do it again, but ii is a cinch he does
not want any more of my game"
Nolan contends that Siler should
have called in doctor to examine
Cans when the claim Of foul was
made He says this has always been
done in every instance of the sort and
this leads him to believe that some
thing crooked was in the air. Nolan
says he has several theatrical offers
for Nelson and Will take advantage Of
one Of them within the next few days,
or as soon as the Dane is sufficiently
rested It is likely that Nelson may
open with a snow IN CnlcaSO, InOuBn

sILER KIND TO DANE.
I could have disqualified Nelson
many times during the battle for foul
ing" says Referee George Siler, but
I did not want to see the fight end that
way and accordingly / cautioned the
Dane to be careful He did not heed
my advice as the finish will show. /
DO not care to enter into any contro-
versy with Mr.. Nolan, now or at any
other time"
Nelson and Nolan will leave for Man
haitian Springs, several miles distant,
tomorrow or the next day. The Dane
intends to take a rest there and will
probably proceed East by way of San
Francisco.
Most OF the outside sports who came
to witness the battle left town last
night on the special train. The rest
Of them are carded to depart tomorrow
morning so the town is gradually re-
suming it's normal status and in a
few days the residents will have al
most forgotten Cans and Nelson and
