Boxinf Contest

The boxing contest pulled off
here last night was a good clean
10 round go. The contest was be-
tween Jess Boche, of Lauder and
Young Martin, of Encampment,
with 81. l.. Groninger as referee.
The contest was fast in the begin
ing and closing rounds and was
we'll worth the price of admission
Referee Groninger decided it a
draw and it met with satisfaction
to the crowd.
A preliminary 3 round 20 was
put on by Joe Harden and Kid
Curtis and was much appreciated
by those present. Referee Harvey
called it a draw. The main event
was only allowed to go 10 rounds
instead of the Is as advertised as
it had to be staged at the Fair
Grounds and the weather was 80
cold that all we're anxious to get
it over. They were compelled to
take fight out of the corporate
limits of the town on account of
injuring the morals of Saratoga.
W. @. carp, who had charge of
the affair, states he will back Mr..
Buche against Martin for any
number of rounds. A return con-
test between these boys would
bring out a good crowd.

and Dalton WAS in his dressing
gown, 30 about 8 o'clock in the

Herald Suspends Publication.

With the issue of Dec. 9th, the
Encampment Herald suspended
publication indefinitely. Editor
Drury going to the Cheyenne Daily
Leader as its business manager.
He says in his farewell article that
the main reason was in the fact
that the business was no longer
paying and as that is an essential
factor in any business he preferred
taking another position to remain
ing and running behind.
The Herald has been established
for a number of years and was
always a we'll printed and edited
paper although not always may
be in accord with our views. Mr..
states that he expects that
some one will reopen the work in
the near future as soon as the con-
ditions will permit. The owner
ship of the paper is in litigation
and there is at this time no head

The Judge was one of the best
men we ever had ON the bench and
highly esteemed by all who knew
him. He was a man above re-
|proach in every respect and COM
manded the respect of all who
came in contact with him. He
was elected to the bench in 1902
and reelected in 1908 and his term
expired in 1914. He died of brights
disease which took him rather sud-
denly while holding court at Cas-
per. Common words of praise are
insufficient in holding forth to the
world the work of.such a man as he
was. Deliberate, honest, square,
and upright in all his dealings
with men in both public and pri-
vate life. Few men have passed
this way that were his equal. His
untlmely end has not only brought
sorrow to his friends and family,
but to the entire state. His death
is a loss to the people and to the
Republican party of which he was
always a staunch arm of right and
Justice. Judge Carpenter was one

CALIFORNIA LETTER.

Oakland, Calf, Dec. 90, 1915
Editor Sun:
When l look out on the roofs Of
the houses this morning 1 beheld
them as white as snow with frost
The children were wild with de.
light and hustled on their clothes
to go out and play in it. They
scraped enough together to make
small snow balls and had a battle
amid shreiks of delight. Snow il
as much.of a novelty to the chill
dren here as palm trees would be
to the children of Saratoga. You
would think that vegetation would
wither after such a frost, bat il
dosen't, it just goes on blooming
and growing serenity, defying all
laws of freeze and frost. 1t is now
10 o'clock and all is smiling and
serene once more, with the sun
shining thru a smoky, hazy atmos-
phere that gives everything a yell
lowish tinge.
Christmas is over and something
like a million or two toy horses,
automobiles, and other like me-
chanical contrivances, are now out
of commission. The streets were
just alive with children Christmas
morning, each one trying out some
new tricycle., roller skates, play
ing with the generous gifts of
Santa Claus. The street is the
play ground for the children here.
and they have fine times, for the
lawn, cement side-walks and as
phalt roadways are as fine as could
be for that purpose. In SO far as
Oakland and her dependencies,
such as Berkerley, Alameda and
others, are concerned, Christmas
was a very pleasant social time and
many were the social functions and
entertainments given. Down in
the lower part of town, where the
lower elements of humanity collect
as naturally as drift wood finds
the shore, the celebration of the
great day was more of a drunken
debauch than a celebration. With
that class of people fun means get
ting tipsy, and having a good
time" means getting out in the
street and ranting up and down like
Comanches. There was enough
of that kind of work here and to
spare, if you want to see debauch-
cry in all its glory you should see
San Francisco go on a tear. Talk
about a wide open" town Dur
ing the Christmas just past the lid
was off and there was something
in the way of singh old
with about two-thirds of the
city. Everything "went." The
the pimps, the demi-
monde, all the riff-raf and crimi-
nal element, which swarms in a
great city, and especially in such
a one as San Francisco, came out
of the holes, and cracks and cor
ners and hiding places, where it
sinks away during ordinary times,
and floats on the surface, rioting
in its freedom; swilling, euzzling,
screaming, shouting, committing
every excess and making life mis-
cradle for decent folks on all the
main streets. OF course the police
were conveniently blind for at least
twenty-four hours, both before and
after Christmas, and every body
did just as he pleased. The boats
and suburban trains, as we'll as the
street cars, were loaded with a
crowd that was bent on having a
good time and each went after il
in his own way. Judging by what
| saw Christmas l think San Fran.
cisco will be a red hot old town
during the Fair all right.

coats of slime and stranded debris
on which gulls and ducks feed in
great numbers. Then, again, it is
high tide, aud the water creeps up
and covers all the low lands and
reaches out into all the cracks and
~depressions, until it covers up
every thing with a smooth, deep,
swelling tide of water, that creeps
up, and up, and up, with a steady
and relentless sway that makes one
wonder what rules this ebb and
flow of the ocean, that it comes
and goes with such regularity and
with resistless force. For nothing
can escape the tide, it has no
mercy. 1t knows no law but it's
own mighty forceful coming and
going. You stand and watch the
breakers come rolling in, until the
tops of the waves curls over and
breaks into a white spray, dashing
itself onto the beach in a frothy
foam, that spreads out with less
force until by the time it reaches
your feet it is but a thin sheet of
foam lees than an inch in depth.
AS l stood on the beach the other
day, watching the waves roll in,
l was startled to behold a big
steam ship running parallel with
the shore apparently only about
two hundred yards out. 1t was one
Of the coast steamers that ply be-
tween Seattle, Portland, San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles. 1t stood
up SO high that it seemed to be
riding along on a ridge of water
I could not understand for u while
why it was 30 close in shore, until
l took note of the people on deck.
They were no larger than matches
and then l realized that The ship
must be at least a mile from shore.
In crossing the bay the other
-dayI beheld four of Uncle Sans
fighting ships riding at anchor in
the harbor, the Colorado, the Cali
%fornia, the Maryland and South
Dakota. Great, big gray, low
lying objects, with the smoke gent
ly rising out of their moustrous
tunnels, they gave one the impress
sion of war and of tremendous tu-
multi, like the storm and stress of
battle. 1t is impossible to convey
the feeling of strength and mass
iveness one gets from a sight of
one of those monsters, as it lazily
floats and gently heaves at its an
Choir chains. The monster guns
that frown on you, ever from a
distance, seems to say: Beware
how you approach this vessel, for
we will suffer no intrusion" These
ships came up from San Diego
bay a short time ago for coal. One,
the Colorado, will return to that
station, while the Maryland, the
California and the South Dakota
have gone to Mares Island for
some slight repairs.
On the Southern Pacific freight
pier last week I saw a four.masted
sailing vessel, the "Champneu,"
lying along side the warf, discharg-
ing cargo. 1t was a French vessel
and she had come from Rotterdam
with a mixed load of sand, fertil-
izer and coke. Her French sailors,
bearded and tanned almost black
by ocean breezes, lay around IN
deck in the sun, smoking and max
ing remarks about what was to be
seen in this foreign land, not the
least of which was seen in the man
who looked them over SO carefully
and found in them as much of in

The Champneu was from Nan
