 OLD DUTCH TOOK A WHIRL.- Dutch" Deevus is in town after an absence of several years. and he brought his rabbits foot along with him. Dutch was a well known gam bier and sport of the elder days when Phoenix was a wide open town, and along with the rest of them he had his ups and downs. It is said he lost $15.00G once here at a single sitting went broke, borrowed a few dollars Cor a new stake and won his money all back again before he went to be1 file drifted into Phoenix a few days ago to shake hands with the old tim CTS, being then on his way to Reno to see the battle of the century. But Phoenix looked so familiar he hated to leave. It is said he had six hun dred piastres in his pocket, but he figured that by the time he deducted his expenses to Reno he wouldn't have as much capital left as a sport of his calibre needed, so he decided to stick around here and pick up easy money M mentioned above, he had his rab- bits foot with him, so the lucre all went up on Johnson. and Dutch IS glad he didn't go to Reno.
 MORE HARD LUCK.-Beside los ing the white championship and the hose race at Bisbee yesterday, about a thousand Phoenix people suffered further distress when they learned that the big house warming and birth day celebration-and joy contest sched- ulcd to take place at Tom Whitney s new home had been called off for the present. There was no interference on the part of the governor and there was no law found that could prevent such a joy contest. The trouble lay with Mir. Whitney himself. He said that almost at the last minute his partner went to California. leaving him in charge of the business, and he does not believe in mixing too much pleasure with business. When he gives a party he wants to give one that is worth while; one that will make ones hair curl. so to speak, and he don't want to have any business on hand that can possibly interfere with it. He said Dad had the proper hunch when he made the announce ment the other day, but he pulled the string a little too quick. The big do ings will happen some time in August when Mir Easterling returns home and lifts the weight of business worry off his partners furrowed brow
 
 A GAME SPORT-There is one col ored man in town, well known and employed as a porter, who had an abiding faith in the hope of the black race" and the gameness to back his convictions. He had saved up and borrowed a total of something over two hundred dollars, and one by one as the ten to six fellows came along he picked up whatever was offered. His money was all up a couple of days ago. It then occurred to him that his wife who was in another state. had couple of hundred, more or less. of her own money, and he knew that she was watching this prize fight from the same viewpoint he was. He was overcome by the thought of what an appalling calamity it would be if she got excited and put up her money. too. and the white man won. It wouldn't do for them both to go broke at once, so he wired her: Honey, don't bet your money on Johnson, for mine is all up" In a few minutes he got back this message: "Fse done put up my money. too" The message, instead of disheartening him, only braccd his nerve. He told his friends that he had planned to leave here. but that if the fight went the way most people said it was going to. he was done peoned in this town for the next six months anyway, and he might just as well let the tail go with the hide" Yesterday morning before the fight he had a single dol lar left and found a place for it at two to one. Then. he bet his short against a new one and sat down to wait for MT Jeffries to hit him in his financial jaw. He feels now that Jim Jeffries is the best friend he ever had.
