For all that he was won derful fighter, and l refused a meetin. with him on the grounds that had never been mixed up in scandal of any kind whatsoever and knew the minute l signed articles l would he accused and called as guilty as him.
 A Meeting Demanded.
 Finally tue entire coterie of sport writers the country over came out and demanded a meeting etween Cans and myself. claiming that Cans as well as 1 had beaten all the light weights iu the country, and it was up ,sto him and me to settle for once and all tp question as to who was the real bdisputed light weight champion of Sthe world.
 Upon this demand nnaIly consent- cd to meeting.
 This meeting of ours was srectac- ular in more ways than one. had 1ust spent two weeks hUnting and fish
  piloted over the country by Hegewisch Anderson. one of the pioneers of Utah. l had a grand two weeks season of hunting and fishing. then went to Salt Lake City, where engaged in an exhibition bout of three rounds with Willard Bean. the Mormon pneiistie minister.
 Just about this time Goldtield. Nev.. was in the height of it's boom. and naturally was interested. One day l picked up Goldfeld Sun. which stat, ed that Jack Clifford had arrived on the scene and challenged the entire camp, and the club promoters were ad- vertising for an opponent for Clifford for Labor day. As had enjoyed a good rest and was just aching for a fight, sent telegram to the Sun in- right would come and meet Clifford. a4A The Match Is Made.
 In the course of an hours time l re- 4celved all answer asking me what my terms were to meet Clifford. wired back would accept a $5,000 guarantee 4s p~ to finish.
 Evidently the Golddcld sporting blood was aroused to bigger game. as they sent me the following answer:
 Your proposition of $:,.3j9 guarantee ard 5000 side bet accepted. but would prefer meeting between yourself and Cans We VII! give Si5,o0o for same.

 In less than all hours time l re ceivcd the following telegram iron Rickard:

Therefore l don think we should be criticised. What good for the goose ought to be goo' for the gander."
 Fight Advertised Widely.
 This fight was given more publiclt, than any other contest in the histor of pugilism, including such great bat ties as the Fitzsimmons-Demp am

The widespread interest in the tight attracted hordes of sporting people from all over tue universe Goldfeld at that time had . population of less than 2,50o people To get to Goldfeld you had to ride thirteen hours straight out on the desert from the main line and only one train a day on regular schedule.
 Every newspaper in tue United States that could afford it had rep Eesentatfve there to report the fight. We met in specially constructed are na. which cost the promoters $15,O00 to build.

Tribute Of Respect.

It is with a heart full Of love
and sympathy that I seek to pay
a simple tribute to MI. Barney G..
Triplett, who departed this life on
November Sd, 1909.
The death of this honorable and
faithful man was a shock to every
one as he was only i'll for a few
hours. On the morning of Nov
ember Sd, 1909 he was taken dan
gerously i'll, and about 8 O'Clock
his spirit passed gently to that
brighter world bepOnd.
He was born in Charleston,
South Carolina, in 1851, and when
only a lad 8 years Of age, moved
with his parents, to this state
where he spent the remainder of
his life. In the year 1876 MI.
Triplett was united in marriage to
Miss Margaret Scholar, with
whom he has lived sharing tOgeth-
er the pleasures and sorrows of
life in their quiet home five miles
northwest of Mashulaville.
For about twenty years he has
been a devoted member of the
Baptist church, and spent the re-
mainder of his life as a faithful
member.
He leaves a wife, six sons and
two daughters to mourn his loss.
His remains were inferred in the
Yellow Creek cemetery. There to
await the resurrection mourn.
/ would say weep not dear ones,
though he is gone, but so live that
when the last summons comes
calling thee to thy peaceful rest,
you Will find father standing at
the pearly gate, "beckoning to
come"
Oh! may there be a reunion in
heaven without one link missing.
IT'S hard to break the tender
cord,
When love has bound the heart,
IT'S hard; so hard, to speak the
word,
eve must forever part.N
Dearest loved ones, we must lay
thee
In the peaceful graves embrace
But thy memory will be cheer
ished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
A FRIEND.
