the fight be held and rumOrs had II
that the engagement would take
place at Richburg. Miss, a small town
iO3 miles from New Orleans. Trains
left New Orleans early on the morn
ing Of July s. 1889. and those who
were able. secured seats. The trains
were filled with pan-handlers and
many got free rides. so jamIned were
the cars.
The fighters and their parties ar

many who had gained admission

rushed out OF the inclosure by armed
guards and policemen pressed into
service.
The REhters had made their toilets

his colors. Two minutes later and

John Murphy as a mighty cheer burst

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. 10.
Joseph A. Smith, president of the
Mormon church. died here today after
a long illness following a paralytic
stroke suffered last April. He was
eighty years old.
Ever since he suffered the stroke

been confined 10 MS home, except on
one occasion when he addressed a
church conference.
Joseph F. Smith was a nephew of
Joseph Smith, the original Mormon
prophet He crossed the plains in an
OK team and settled in the valley of
the Salt Lake in 184S.

had held many important posts in
the church organization, including
that of missionary to Great Britain.

Some of the lines OF the song are
quite poetical One verse runs:
Il watched a sweet rose droop and die
For want of rain, ard wondered why.
The raindrops when at last they came
Could not restore its bloom again.
You're like the rose; I'm like the rain
You wanted me and called in vain"
And then follows the music which
seems to be really catchy:
