Jefries Was Not Doped.

There is no truth in the newspaper
reports which say that Jim Jeffries was
'doped' when he faced Johnson" said
c. J. Miller, of Reno, New, at the
Shoreham last night.
1T is true that Jeffries was IN no
condition to fight the colored man, who
simply played with him, but he was not
doped There had been an understanding
that Johnson was to lay down, and that
he was to receive 100000 for it Jeffries
knew about it, and consequently did not
train as he should have done About a
week or so before the fight, Johnson
notified the Jeffries headquarters that
he was going to fight; that he was not
going to stick to the 100000 bargain.
That was the blow that killed Jefries,
who imagined he would come out the
winner When johnson entered the ring
! he paid no attention to JeffHes, but
talked to friends; but when Jenries
skipped over the ropes he leaned against
them in his corner, and never took his
eyes off Johnson. who was obIiVious to
the presence of his opponent Jefrries
knew then and there that he was a
beaten man.
There are not as many roughs in Reno
as there are in the Eastern cities We
have law and order everywhere. and II
is wrong to imagine that everybody car
ries a gun In fact, nobody carries a
pistol, with the exception possibly Of the
prospectors, who use a rifle mostly. II
will be a sad day for Reno or Nevada
when the divorce law is changed II
would mean a loss of . per cent Of our

Speaking OF politics. Gov. Mills said
that the legislature of New Mexico IS
