THE TALE OF A SHIRT
In Which Two Eureka Bootblacks
and a Chinese Laundryman
Are Concerned

Quite an amusing incident occurred
in Eureka Tuesday. the principal actors
in which were two bootblacks. n Chinese
laundryman and a shirt.
The Chinaman started up town to de-
liver-a number Of bundles of washing.
Among the lot was a shirt for q boot
black. Now it happens at the present
time Eureka is the possessor of two
"shiners"-Spotsy and Rastus.
The l~aundryman. All Sin. on reaching
the City Brewery Saloon on Main street.
saw Rastus in front Of that place en-
gagged in backing some ones shoes.
Sin stopped and handed the shirt to the
dusky sinner aud proceeded IN his way
up Main street. When he reached
Harris barber shop ne encountered the
booiblack establishment run by Spotsy.
As o as the latter saw Sin he asked
him if he had his shirt. The Monaghan,
realizing his mistake, told him he had
given it to the other bootblack down
the street and would go immediately
and get it.
1t the meantime Rastus had retired
to the rear of Lucey's barber shop and
donned the aforesaid clean shirt. Sin,
espying his man said:
You sabe? Me make mistake. One
shirtee belong one man ale same boot
blackee."
Rastus, giving his Oriental friend a
whitening look, remarked:
DO you mean to say that dis heah
shirt dat Use got on belongs to some
udder man ?"
Eyes; me makee mistake. You givee
me shirt"
II don't give up nothin'. If you git
dis shirt you hab to take it off my dead
body. l want you to understand 1 was
one of dem fellers that was at San Juan
Hill and me and Teddy was there with
the goods"
The Chinaman understood enough Of
Rastus' lingo to know that he did not

started off threatening to go after the
Sheriff. On hii way up the street he
met Spotsy, to whom he explained the
situation and the two proceeded to the
Sherif's Office to summon that officer
and aid them in regaining the shirt.
After finding the Sheriff the three
proceeded to the place Of business of
Rastus. Arriving there the Sheriff
made the required explanation. but IL
was of no avail. Rastus insisted that
the shirt he had on was his and the
Chinaman aud Spotsy were just as
positive that it was not.
After a wal Of words INDUCED in by
the two bootblacks and Cinnamon,
Spotsy and All Sin gave it up as a
hopeless case and left.
When his two antagonists had taken
their departure, Rastus. addressing the
big crowd of onlookers the racket had
gathered. said:
Dem guys must OBJ thought / only
owned one shirt"

National flags and bunting, while wires
were strung across that street at five
d%iffeoent points on which was a line of
flags of all Nations, the whole giving
hat t~horoughfare a neat and hand some
appearance. In the resident part Of

decorated with American flags and
bunting.
All day Wednesday and at an early
hour Thursday morning the people be-
gan to arrive and were soon pouring in
from every direction to take part in cele-
brating the Nations birthday. AS a
result, by 10 O'Clock that morning the
streets were filled with men, women
and children.
The Fourth was ushered in by a
National salute at sunrise, which was
the signal that the days festivities had
begun. while exploding f%recrackers and
Chinese bombs followed closely and
continued the racket at intervals nearly
the entire day.
The weather was all that could be
desired, clear skies and q gentle, cool
breeze stirring, which made it de-
cidedly pleasant.

DEFEATS
KIDHERMAN
ROTTEN BOUT

TONOPAH. New. Jan. 2.-In the
tamest and most uninteresting fight
ever pulled off in Nevada Joe Cans,
the negro lightweight champion of
the world, ingloriously defeated Kid
Herman yesterday afternoon in the
big arena in this city.
Herman did not have n show at any
times. The end came in the eighth
round when Cans gave him n clean
iab on the left jaw with terrific force
and put the Kid clear out of business.
The negro simply played with his OPP
ponent through every round and could
easily have knocked him out at any
time The fight was of little credit to
either man.
The crowd was disappointingly
small. 1t was as large an attendance
as the fight deserved however. 1t
was pronouced a failure by all. The
purse was 100000 and as n result of
the poor attendance and the general
belief that Cans would win, the Tono-
pah club will lose heavily.
