Don Quentin Sariol had played one of
the highest trumps he held in his hand,
but his finesse had not availed against
his adversary.
Alta Cruz was astir with excitement
and surmise. About the bivouacs be-

confusion. The factions which, but an

friends long separated. Ybarra's fresh

and no attempt has since been made In

From 200 to 250 lovers of the manly
art greeted the pugilists. as they
entered the arena at the Nixon opera
house Christmas eve.
In the preliminary bout between
Bobby johnson and Eddie Means they
sure got run for their money. As
far as it went it was rafting fight,
but Johnson gave his opponent clean
knockout blow in the second round,
thereby gaining the decision.
In regard to the principal event OF
the evening there is considerable mys-
terry. 1t is claimed by the wise ones
that the gladiator who presented him
self at the ringside was not Willie
Johnson at all, but ringer who would
Ae able to make good showing
against Jeffries. 1t is also stated that
when Lemm got fash of the man he
efused to enter the ring, but that he
nally consented to do so on the ex-
fess understanding that he would be
iven the dicision ON foul in the
ighth round. Bets were placed &C
cordingly, and things looked good.

CLAIMED PROMOTERS RUNG IN A
"RINGER" FOR GENUINE JOHNSON

In the second round, however, Lemm
got gay and gave the bogus Johnson
a jolt in the neck, which aroused the
fighting blood of the latter, and he
went after his adversary Lemm was
saved in the second by the call of
time, but in the third he was knocked
down and out without further cere-
mony Before he was counted out,
however, his seconds jumped into tha
ring, which act in itself, under the
rules, should have lost him the fight
The referee promptly gave Johnson
the decision, but was Immediately
taken charge of by one of the "pro
moters," who Explained" things t.
him, and the ruling was reversed and
the fight given to Lemm on foul, in
accordance with the prearranged plan.
A significant fact, and one that ap-
parently lends color to the above story,
is the statement of reliable spccta
tor which, if necessary, will be
backed up by affidavit, to the effect
that before the men entered the ring
party offered to bet $40 to ~ that
Lemm would win the fight ON foul

SUNDAY SCHOOL CHRISTMAS
TREE SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR

A large crowd attended the Christ
mas tree Thursday evening at the M. f.
church, the edifce being jammed to
the doors. The program was carried
out in a highly entertaining manner,
at the close of which Santa Claus put
in an appearance, to the great delight
and mystifeation of the smaller chill
dren. One of the pleasing features of
the entertainment was the solo by Miss
Dorothy Parker, appropriate to the oe
casion. which came in the nature of a
delightful surprise to the audience, not
having been down on the published
program.
The tree was loaded down with many
valuable gifts, nearly all the presents
made in town being conveyed through
this channel Each Sunday school
scholar was remembered with box Of
candy, in addition to present Of 4
more substantial character.
Nor did the Sunday school children
overlook their pastor, as they present

NEW COIN RECEIVED BY
FIRST NATIONAL BANK

Thursday the First National bank
received from the San Francisco mint
supply of the new $3.50 gold pieces.
On one side Of the coin is the old
fashioned Indian head used on the cens
piece, above which is the word Glib
erty,o and below the date l90S.' On
the right are seven stars and ON the
left six, representing the thirteen orig
ina states. On the reverse side is an
American eagle, standing in repose,
above which are the words United
States of America on the left " Il
Pluribus Unum," ON the right "ln
God We Trust" and below "2ta
Dollars.o
The coin lacks whole lot of being
IN artistic masterpiece. The large In
ian head is out of all proportion to
the size of the coin, the eagle resem-
bles a buzzard and there is enough
reading matter on the piece for a $40
coin, giving it crowded appearance.
However, it is not likely that they
will be refused by anyone.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
FOR ALL

The Christmas holiday was spent ii
rather quiet manner by the citizens
of Winnemucca. The weather was pro.
pitious, the sky being bright and clear,
resembling an Indian summer rather
than a midwinter day.
While there is no grinding poverty
in our midst, such as is experienced in
the larger cities, our business men took
no chances on any child in town being
overlooked, and accordingly subscribed
a generous fund with which presents
of confections and of more substan-
tial character were provided for the
children.
All classes of population were al
forded entertainment, and for the
stranger within our gates the hotels
and restaurants provided turkey din
ner, which included all the good things
that go to delight the palate of the
modern epicure.
The cafes and saloons all observed
the occasion, Thomas and jeremiah be-
ing in evidence in nearly all the resorts.
Z. l.. Wilson, of the Up-to Date, made
a special effort by serving turkey
lunch and presenting each patron with
TEDDY Bear souvenir
The Palace, Elite, New Reception,
Fashion and Magnolia down town, and
johnson & Becker, Lafayette, Kren-
Is, Busch and Railroad, up town,
kept open house all day long, and no
one was allowed to depart hungry or
thirsty.
