the Philadelphia batter never seemed to get enough. and though stunE
time and time again with rights AMI lens. he continued to bore in and
ask for more, taking all Pal had TO offer without showing any signs
of distress. At the finish Hahn was on his feet fighting hard. but could
not overcome Pals experience as a ringman and the Cleverness OF the
local boy.

Fsaed that he unmtentonaly butted Hahn, while Nate Lewis. Pals
manager, said that ii was a left uppercut that did the work. Hahn was
almost blinded by the blood that flowed from the wound but gamly
stuck to his guns, fighting with only one good eye and apparently never
getting enough, Moore several times landed on the bleeding wound
with hard lefts, but Hahn never hoisted the distress signal. and fought
the remainder of the mill without showing any signs OF grogginess.
In the seventh Moore started a fusnade of wallops that sent Hahn
Keeling to his corner, almost off his feet, Hahn quickly recovered and
again tore into Moore, rushing the local bantam around the ring and

EUREKA & PALISADE RAILWAY
CERTAINLY HAS HARD LUCK

The Eureka & Palisade railroad
was put out of business completely
last week when Pine creek, in Pine
valley, overflowed its banks and COW
cred the tracks in places. Several
bridges were washed out and stock
men in Pine valley were forced to
move their cattle out of the valley to
high ground. A heavy rain storm fol-
lowing an unusually heavy fall of
snow was the cause Of the flood. AS
a result of the havoc wrought upon
the railroad track, Eureka and other
sections along the line of the road
were cut off from the greater part of
the world. The Eureka & Palisade
road suffered similar damage a few
years ago, and it was two years be-
fore the railroad was again operating.

OLD.TIME WAY OF
SETTLING DISPUTES

The death of princess Stagliano
Colonna in Italy last Friday, record
ed in an Associated Press dispatch,
recalls to the minds of many old
Nevadans the last visit of the hand
some step-daughter of John w. Mae
kay to Nevada something like thirty
five years ago.
Contrary to the statement in the
dispatch. Princess Colonna was not
born in Nevada, but was a native of
Downieville, Calf, where her father
was a physician. Her grandfather on
her mothers side, Colonel Daniel y.
Hungerford, was a barber in Downie-
vile, "and a good one. too" accord
ing to old-timers. Her father, DR..
Bryant, died in the early COS and is
buried in Hog canyon, near Downie-
vile.
In 1867 the widow of DR.. Bryant
married John w. Mackay on the Com
stock, and after residing there for a
few years while Mr.. Mackay piled up
a great fortune, she departed for
Paris, where she lived most of the
time. She never returned to Virginia
City, although Prince and Princess
Colonna and Colonel H~ungerford and
Mr.. Mackay paid a visit to Nevada
about 1880.
Colonel Hungerford first came into
Nevada at the head of a volunteer
regiment organized at Downieville TO
assist the Neyadans in suppressing
the Indian uprising in 1860 which re
suited in the death of several Nevada
volunteers in a battle at Pyramid
Lake. After his stepson became one
of the wealthiest men in the country
Colonel H~ungerford went to Paris
and became Count Hungerford. a title
purchased for him by Mr.. Mackay.
In connection with early Downie-
Vile history an interesting account
of the n of handling disputes
is told by n who was there in the
early days. A long hitching rail stood
on the principal street, where the
miners would throw their packs or
tie their horses. If two men had a
dispute the matter would be argued
before a large crowd of miners asked
to decide. The litigants would choose
sides of the rail and the miners would
line up on either side of it. The liti-
CANT having the most men on his side
of the rail would be declared the win
ner-and the matter was settled.
This simple means of settling an
argument prevailed for many years
until John Mackay and Tom Freehill
mad a dispute. Mackay won and Free
hill broke the old rule by bringing a
This ended the services of
the old rail as a court of justice.
Freehill was a prominent resident
of Reno, owning the Byington block
at Second and Virginia streets and
other property here.-[Reno Gazette.
