IN WICKED FIST FIGHT
ERNEST CYEV0NY IS HURT

Ernest ChevOny, a young rancher
who lives few miles south of town,
is in the hospital as the result of a
fist fight which occurred in the L and l
saloon yesterday afternoon, about 4
O'Clock. His face is beaten to a pulp
and his chin is badly bruised and
swollen.
Chevony, who stands six feet four
inches, and weighs 225 pounds, was
boasting of how he licked 'em all with
one arm and was not disputed as to
his great strength, until one of his list
eners who had chanced to come in the
saloon, started to talk to him in the

Fists were soon used instead of
tongues and the big man. so spectators
say, was soon floored.
1T was over in two minutes-no
need of calling an officer" said Bar
tender Lynch. this morning, Chevony.
it seems had called his unknown as
sailant names in his boasts before the
fight started. Inquiry failed to bring
to light any information as to who the
man was that gave Chevony his pum-
melting.

Council Into Defeating Meritorious
Measure by Threatening Injunctions

last night. The ordinance was the
last of a number of ordinances on the
calendar and it's Introduction for final
passage brought Councilman Bridges
to his feet in a passionate protest
against its passage.
Bridges contended that the opposi-
tion to the trading stamp concern had
arisen principally through jealousy of
other merchants not in on the scheme.
In the first place he said the trading
stamp business was merely one form
of advertising and had been adopted
by 33 merchants in the city; that ac-
cording to decisions of the supreme
court and the United States court, the
council did not have the power to place
such an excessive license on the stamp
company or merchants who used trad
ing stamps in their business as the
council proposed in the ordinance. The
ordinance specified a license of $3.50
per annum on the stamp company and
S100 per annum on merchants who is
sued stamps. Bridges appealed to the
other members of the council to vote
against the ordinance.

expressed his determination to vote
for the ordinance. He predicted that If

Thousands of tourists to Rome see

rarely is a private reception granted
and such a favor is usually preceded
by endless requests from high digni-
taries of the church in America and
other lands. Mr.. Ennis was nothing
daunted by not having this array of
material, however, and armed only
with letter from Archbishop Christie
of Oregon. the young Walla Wallan in
vaded the guarded citadel of Pope Plus
TX, and much to his surprise. was
granted the great honor. The popes
private secretary had at first told Mr.
Ennis that his request was impossible
without endorsement by many digni-
taries whom he named. but when His
Holiness saw Mr.. and Mrs. Ennis. the
young bride with whom Tom is tour

desired private audience, he sent
word that they might call the next day
AS memorials of the occasion His
Holiness gave the young couple two
pictures of himself and a sealed bless

about and while he says Europe is de-
