Asked about the fight situation at the
present time, Rishel continued: 'The
whole east can talk of nothing else but
the fight. In New York, as well as in
Pittsburg, Cleveland. Chicago and the
other cities where we stopped, IT was
the sole topic of talk so far as anything
In sports was concerned. And the best
part Of the talk was that everywhere the
feeling was strong for Salt Lake.
Salt Lake is being talked of more
than any other city in the country Just
now. The fans say that it is the logical
center for the fight Business men say
that with the fight i'm Salt Lake, instead
of on the coast, it will save them three
days time and they want to come here.
You would be surprised to learn of the
advertising Salt Lake is getting. People
are asking about our city all the time,
and especially what is it that is making

that @ few years ago it was Chicago.

Lake is being added when the west is
talked of.
IF I had one, I had a hundred say:

game, and gone after the fight Salt Lake
certainly is a live one
The Best Bids.
'As to how Richard came to get the
fight, it was simply the question of the
best bid. Both Jeffries and Johnson went
into all the bids carefully, and selected
Richards because they thought it would
bring them the most money. Aside from
the 100000 purse, it was the picture clause
that got them. Johnson has had expert
ence in d share in the pictures before}
and says that he has a lot of money
coming yet. Now the three, Richard.
Jeffries and Johnson, have one-third in
the pictures, which, OF course, gives the
fighters the control. The picture deal
started all the talk of private agreements
which. aside from the division of the pic
ture receipts, as | have stated, had moth
ing further to do with the fight itself
or to change the articles as originally
drawn up.

AS soon as Root had taken his
oath Of office he would have been

NELSON TACKLES
VIADUCT PUZZLE

Peter Nelson, the new council
man from the Fifth ward, although
not strongly in evidence in discus
sions last night, showed up well.
He was the author of resolution
that a committee of three be ap-
pointed to confer with railroads on
viaduct matters. This passed, and
Mr.. Nelson, Councilman Gray and
Ostrander were appointed.
The purpose of this committee is
to discuss any questions which may
come up as to change of tracks or
changes in the original plans. 1t
will seek to have the railroads bear
the bulk of the cost, II not all.
The railroads interested have al
ready verbally promised to stand
all the expense, but opposition to
steel In favor of concrete has
arisen lately, and the railroads may
retaliate by dropping the viaduct
matter altogether.
Mr.. Nelson evidently foresees
some such a proposition, and is
prepared with a committee, which
may set to work any time a demon
stration is made by the railroads
or others. A committee at this
time is a good thing. In the case
of the bridge discussions, the COM
mittee was appointed after all TIE
trouble was done. therefore it's Ell

FOR
MORE POLICE:

A new ordinance was introduced
last night for the appropriation OF
$4,000 to pay the wages of the 10
additional policemen the counc
authorized several weeks ago. Al
though the cart had been placed
before the horse and therefore the
whole rig was useless, the matter
will soon be Strengthened out.

them. The new appropriation

&raceful situation which should be
distributed.
A1f Root is satisfied to allow the
matter to rest where 1t is there n
little probability, that the legisla.
ture will see fit to take any action.
Prominent lawyers In both
branches are anxious that the case
be dropped and forgotten as soon
as possible, and they have numer-
GUS reasons, more or less vehe-
mently expressed. for their atti-
tude. But had Root wanted to 60

HAS RING FROM
JOHN SMITH
RELIC OF FOUNDER OF JAMES
TOWN AND POCOHONTAS IN
POSSESSION OF DESCEND.
ANT LIVING IN SPOKANE.

Mrs. Fanny ]. Turfey of Spokane
has gold ring with a topaz set
ting which she says John Smith,
founder of the jamestown colony
in Virginia, presented to the Indian
princess Pocohontas, daughter of
Chief Powhattan, as a reward for
her services in saving him from
death at the hands of the Indians.
Mrs. Turfey has made a sworn
statement as to the history of the
ring, in which she traces her
genealogy direct to. Pocohontas.
The ring has been handed down
from one family to another of the
descendants of the Indian heroine
until it was given to Mrs. Turfey
by her father years ago.
Mrs. Trufey is past 60 years of
age, and has resided in Spokane
county for over so years, making
her home until few years ago on
Peone prairie She is descended
from the Boiling and Gay families
of Virginia, her father being viii
liam Gay, and her mother Cassan,
dri Desdamonia Jackson, a cousin
of President Andrew Jackson. The
Bollings, the records show, are de-
scendants of Pocahontas, as the
one child of Pocahontas (who mar
ried Thomas Rolfe) married a man
named Boiling.
John Smith, who was soldier
of fortune, received the ring from
an Austrian army commander un-
der whom he had fought against
the Turks. One corner of the set
is knocked off, which is claimed to
be due to blow on the hand re-
ceived by Smith in a hand to hand
fight between French and Spanish
ships while Smith was a passenger
on the French vessel. The ring
has been placed by Mrs. Turfey
with Edwin j. Apple, 0626 Monroe
street.
