GOT SWEET REVENGE.
Americans Prove Themselves as Tricky
AZ Americans With Eagles Aid.

Hermosllo, Mexico, July 20,-On the
Fourth of July a year ago Andrew
Crenshaw, Thomas A. Holloway, Bert
Graham and G. r. Jameson, members
OF Texas syndicate owning land near
Ell Moline. went to the town to cele-
brate. The most exciting thing they
could find was a cooking main. They
put up their money on the favorite and
lost. The performance was repeated
and they lost again. Then they dis
covered that they were betting against
the entire crowd of Mexicans. and that
after their bets had been placed the
birds were Switched"
Full of wrath and bent on getting
even, they agreed to meet again on
dhe q,ompany's ranch, zach in the
meantime TO try and concoct a way of
revenge, Cronshaw had heard OF the
fighting qualities of the eagle and he
communicated with the others his
scheme. They advertised for and pro-
cured a young eagle last winter and
preserved II for their purpose, This
year when they met at the ranch they
painted the bird and trimmed his feath-
ers so as to make him look like a
rooster, and with the disguised eagle in
sack they rode into FL Moline yester-
day and landed at the cooking main.
The authorities refused to enter the
bird without first seeing him, hut the
ranchnien refused to disclose more

GANS-NELSON, ELY
GO, Off FOREVER
Conference Of Promoters and
Railroad Officials Held
Here Was FrultesS.
NEVADA NORTHERN is BLAMED
Now Likely Men VIII Never Meet
again Unless Coast Anair
Can &c Arranged.

Much to the disappointment OF the
people of ELY. New. as we'll as to the
ring followers Of this city, the Cans
Nelson fight, which was to have been
held at the copper camp on Labor
day, has been called off. Unreasonable
railroad rates are given as the direct
cause of the failure, a thing which is
impossible to overcome For over
year ii has been Ely's fondest dream
to have big fight pulled off there.
Every inducement that could be Of
fered was made but al the last moment
the Nevada Northern railroad refused
to make sufficiently low rate and the
fight is now thing gone by with no
hopes Of ever returning. Tex" Rick
ard the idol of all Ely and in fact
several other Nevada mining towns,
worked hard. night and day, for two
weeks, to have the fight go. He even
went so far as to post $4,000 in
bank at Ely and would have posted
the entire $4,000 II the fighters wanted
him to do So He came to Salt Lake
and here he went into conference with
l.. G Cannon. vice president of the
Nevada Northern road, and officials of
the Western Pacific and Southern Pa
cific roads The latter two companies
were willing to make falr rate but
the little road operating in Nevada
stood out for 3la cents a mile, which
would make the trip to Ely and return
1880.
DEAL FALLS THROUGH.
Tex" knew that this was too much
and the only outcome was to declare
the fight off and take down the for
felt money posted in Ely. 1t was a
hard blow to Ely, but the people are
not down on Tex for he did all in
his power to get the fight. The people
wanted it for it would have been a
great thing for the town and would
have settled all dispute as to who was
the better man of the two. Cans fol-
lovers still declare that he is the best
man and Nelson is willing to show the
country that he can beat the colored
boy again just as easy as he did in
San Francisco,
MEET. OFF-FAR OFF.
The fight in Ely, however. is now
only a dream. and it is not likely that
the two men will ever come together
again in the prize ring. Nelson is on
easy street and in position 10 make
| his own terms. There Is but little
| chance of his making another match
with Cans to be pulled off on the
| Pacific coast and all hope of getting
| II in Nevada is gone.
