Albuquerque Anthony Arrive.
a gentleman from the Wash Your
Own Diggln's" mine, over the California
boundary. who dropped into Reno to-day
to look things over. declared over the
rim of an unspoiled Mamie Taylor that
he didn't think 1t was safe to waIk
around with so many prize fighters on
the streets. Who knows; some OF then,
might go mad with the heat and then
there would be a call for the ambulance.
One visitor who is not averse to having
a little publicity attached to his name.
is Mr. Albuquerque Anthony. colored.
Of Chicago. Mr.. Anthony stopped the
first man he saw coming cut OF the front
door of the Golden Hotel this morning
and asked him If he were a newspaper
writer. Mr.. Anthony's aim had been IN
erring, there are over a hundred such in
Reno at present and more coming by
every train.
Well, If you write for the newspa-
pers, you might put in the fact that I
nave arrived. said Mr.. Anthony with
lhe air OF ore comforting a distinct ia
Yor. am a graduate chiropodist. and
while Mr.. Johnson was IN Chicago I
took care of his feet. I have come away
out 70 Reno to get Mr.. Johnson's feet
IN shape for the fight. Here is my card"
Col. scuIIy Owns the Town.
Another newcomer whose fame IS re-
stricted to Nevada, but fresh as an alfalfa
patch in that province, is Col. Mike
seully. Of Kimberly. Col Mike owns the
whole town, water, newspaper, bank. and
saloon; they say that IL you want 10 wear
high hat In Kimberly you have 10 see
Col. Mike about it. This is a story they
tell Of him.
When he first came 10 Nevada Il was
across the old Placerville stage road from
California before the railroad over the
Sierra had been linked up. When Col
Sculiy hit Virginia City ne was sore all
over. He stopped az the only eating
house in town and looked over the bin of
fare printed on the wall-it was never
changed.
What's sage hem grunted the new
arrival The waitress, who was one Of
the few women in Virginia City, told the
colonel that a sage hen was bird that
lived in the sagebrush. Well, has it got
wings?'
8 Sure, the sage hen has wings
None Of that in mine roared the
colonel. I won't eat any bird that's got
wings and is fool enough not TO fly out OF
this God-forsaken Territory"
Food Prices Go Up.
With the increasing food of migration
toward Reno a general hosting move
ment Of the price Of living is under way.
The restaurant keepers, who a week ago
raised the price Of mountain trout from
80 cents to IS cents, even though YOU
can see the raw product swimming under
the bridge in the heart OF the town, had
not the daring imagination Of a San
Francisco syndicate, which Is now pro-
viding quarters de luxe for the incoming
guests. This enterprising company has
been quietly leasing all Of the vacant
stores and rooms above stores in business
blocks, and there they are installing a
carload of cots which arrived from San
Francisco to-day. For the higher taste.
a cast iron washstand and piece OF pet
rified soap is thrown in with the cot.
A fine large loft over pickle factory.
which contains only six cots, may be had
for the aggregate price Of SIS a day. Any
single room in one OF the houses along
what Is known as Divorces Row may be
had for from 50 70 $ a day, and the guest
washes himself
A sporting character from Terre Eaute,
Ind. burst into the barroom OF the
Golden Hotel at an early hour this morn
ing and invited any of those who were
standing about the roulette wheels TO
come upstairs in the lodging house next
door and take a look AZ the stall wherein
he was stabbed.
You stand on the bed 10 take OF your
pants" he said. and then after try
ing the mattress YOU decide that you
would rather go 10 sleep like a horse,
standing up. with one shoulder against
the door and the other one out the win
dow. That might be all right il there
wasn't chimney within two feet OF
the window and the cook down stairs
had just set fire 70 his doughnuts They
ease you s. a night for that, and what
is more, just as I was getting ready
10 turn over and pound my other ear a
fellow started to pick the lock on my
door. When I asked him what he wanted
he yelled at me: What is the matter with
you, anyway? Go on and go 10 sleep"
Railroad Companies Getting Ready.
II Will not be long before the railroad
company begins TO house its hundreds
in Pullman cars. Down al the town OF
Sparks. which is the end Of q division
and only about four miles from Reno,
there is a network OF side-uicks, and
there, 1t is said, that Il necessary 1000
cars could be taken care OF for the three
days, including the Fourth. H. ". Sheri-
dan, superintendent of the Sacramento
division of the Southern Pacific Railroad
and P J Kindelen. who is special traffic
superintendent appointed TO solve the
knotty railroad problems centering about
ss,. 81
said to-day that although there are only
fifty frst-class Pullmans at present avail
able on the Pacific Coast, cars that would
be brought from the East every day and
before the fight. there ought to be sixty
five or seventy Pullmans and second-class
sleeping-cars sidetracked at Sparks and
Reno for the accommodation OF the over
land passengers.
It Is going 10 be a problem 10 land in
Reno the great crowd expected both
from the East and the West on the day
preceding the tight, and TO get the same
crowd out again in good season, but
these railroad officials believe that the
town can be filled up In three days, and
that the specials, both East and West,
can all be dispatched within twenty-four
hours after the knockout blow on July l.
VIII Have Deputy Referee.
An interesting piece of sporting gossip
passed around town to-day. 1t was that
Richard intended TO take an unusual pro-
cedure 10 insure against the fights being
left without referee because of some
unexpected accident 70 himself while pre-
siding in the ringside. He said to-day
that he was going TO urge upon the prin-
cipals and their managers a matter which
had been talked of casually a month ago;
that of providing a deputy or vice ref
cree to serve in case Referee Richard
should get a blow on the chin which was
not designed for him. Richard added TO
the unique character Of this proposition
by saying that he was going 10 urge upon
the fighters the availability OF Jack Glea-
son for this Office. II did not seem TO
occur 10 the promoter that the fact that
