The one regret of the big fight was the
poor manner in which the crowd was
handled. Hundreds of people were jam
med for hours in the entrance to the the
atre That there were no accidents was
due entirely to the good nature of the
crowd and not to the forethought of the
management Had someone with eXper-
fence in handling crowds been placed IN
charge so that the lobby could have been
kept clear and the patrons OF the fight
could enter in orderly lines the thou
sands of people could have been cared for
quicker and much more satisfactorily.
In strong contrast to the treatment re-
ceived by the fight fans at the theatre
was the excellent manner in which the
sporting men from Salt Lake were taken
to Ogden by the railroad companies. There
were probably 100 men from Salt Lake
at the fight Five hundred of them went
to ogden early in the day and the others
were taken to Ogden on two special trains
at Z O'Clock one over the Short Line and
one over the Rio Grande. The Short Line
special carried $50 people and the Rio
Grande $50.
There was keen rivalry between the two
speciaI trains to see which would reach
Ogden first The Short Line train had
about two blocks the start of the Rio
Grande but the latter beat the Short Line
special to Ogden by ten minutes, making

Big Crowd Was Badly Handled

the trip in forty-one minutes. Coming
back, however the Short Line had every
thing its own way, leaving Ogden an hour
ahead of the Rio Grande. which could not
get a clear track to Salt Lake until after
midnight.
On arriving in ogden there was a gen
eral rush of Salt Lake men to lunch cOun-
tiers and restaurants to get belated din
ner. The rush was so great that the eat
ing houses of Ogden could not begin, to
handle the hungry fight enthusiasts. The
same condition prevailed after the battle
was over.
After a long wait at the entrance, the
Salt Lake men finally reached the arena.
The seats at the ringside were almost all
filled with Salt Lake men. There were
400 ringside seats and over 300 of them
were taken by people from Salt Lake
Many were disappointed and could get
nothing but general admission tickets. and
at that several hundred people, including
some who came from Salt Lake. were
turned away. 1t was noticeable that the
Salt Lakers for the most part occupied
either ringsde or parquet seats. Indicating
that the Ogden sports depend on Salt
Lake patronage to make their ventures
successful. Had it not been for the Salt
Lake crowd the promoters of the fight
would probably have lost money in the en-
terprise.

COMBINATION A BAD ONE
Gas Company Employe Learns Not
to Smoke Cigarettes While
Repairing Leaks.

Cigarettes and gas repairs formed
such a skyrockety combination that
the fire department was summoned to
the candy store of Smith & Donald
son, los South State street, about noon
yesterday. The gas meter in the candy
store was found to be out of order
yesterday and a man was sent for to
put il in proper repair.
The meter is under the show window.
and the man who made the repairs
had to stretch himself upon his back
while doing the work. While in this
position, he asked his helper to light a
match for his cigarette The helper
obligingly Obeyed. AS he extended the
match toward the cigarette there was
sudden explosion of gas. The help
ers hand was burned asld the pipe fit
ter's hair was scorched. The pipe fit
ter crawled from his precarious posi-
ton beneath the show window and
escaped the flames which followed the
explosion.
The firemen, who reached the candy
store a few minutes later, were able
TO extinguish the blaze before any
serious damage was done.

Nelson on a few occasions worked his

as he usually does. Nelson seemed to
know that he had Clifford at his mercy

Nor was Nelson guilty of any rough
head work such as he was accused of in

The Washington Herald of Friday,
January. 10th, says:
1.-THE new Senator from Florida, Hon.
William James Bryan, was sworn In
yesterday, and is now duly possessed
OF all the rights, privileges. and func-
tons OF a member of the greatest de-
Lucrative body on EARTH as the Sem
ate dearly loves to style itself. A con-
siderable amount Of interest attaches
to Senator Bryan, not alone because OF
his name, but because of his youthful
ness and comparative obscurity hereto
fore. 1t is safe to say that no visitor
I'm the Senate chamber yesterday neg
lected to mentally size him up as best
such visitors might, under the circum-
stances.
1.-The Senator looks good enough to
the eve, to be sure. He Is rather juve'
nile. of course, as Senator's go, and dis
tlnctly OF a Southern type. He Is
brown eyed, black haired, and Of bru
nette persuasion. In a sense, he Is
unite the handsomest man In the SEN
ate-which is statement OF kind VIZ
are sometimes permitted to make In
reference to the dignifled patriots who
direct the destlnies Of this great repuh-
lie.
1--WE think we shall watch Senator
Bryan's course with large measure o
interest and respectful attention. W.
