tion at the opera house Tuesday evening
botweon DuCrny, of Lincoln, nnd Oui
mettc, of this city, tho latter was given
the decision by Rcferco Trout nnd this
decision met tho npproval of the two

DuCray was tho aggressor in a majori
ty of tho rounds and proved to bo very
shifty on his feet, but he had neither
tho arm reach nor science of Ouimettc
nnd tho pokes which reached. his oppo
nent seemed to lack steam. Ouimettc
reached his man often, especially on
undercuts. DuCrny stood his punish
mnt well, but twico took tho count to
riso from the floor when borne thero by
his opponent in tho clinches. Ho re
ceived a poke on the nose In one of the
early rounds which drew tho claret, and
this had somo effect on his wind. Du
Cray is n trim fighter, but ho is out
classed by Ouimettc.
Tho preliminary was a five round go
between Collins of Sidney and Heckler,

The Fighting Parson.
W. F. Mann presents William Win
tcrhofT, nnd a carefully selected cast of
players in the beautiful four act melo
drama,, .The Fighting Parson," at Tho
Keith Thursday evening, December 30.
This play deals with a phase of real
life applicable to every community
where Christianity has planted its
standard and depicts the up-hill efforts
of a young minister, who is earnest in
his desire to do good, but who is hedged
around by conventionalities and fogy
ism of. the elders of, tho church, who
are too narrow in their views to place
the proper interpretation upon tho gos
pels of Faith, Hopo and Charity. Tho
play abounds in thrilling climaxes,
beautiful scenery nnd effects and tho
entire production is so pleasing that
the management have no hesitancy in
guaranteeing the attraction to its pat
rons as being first clnss in ovory par
ticular. Plans of the U P.
Dispatches from Wheatland, Wyo
say that theic is no doubt as to the in-
tcntions of the Union Pucific to build (
up the nnue river to a connection wun
the main line nt Aieuicine uow. worn
is being pushed on this line, which was
started at Nortli Platto two years ago
and recently reached Northport. Repre
sentatives of tho company have been
securing right of way through North
port, Morrill, nlso ScottsblufF nnd Gor
ing to u point opposite Mitchell, Nob.
The North Platte line will connect with
the old main line at Medicine Bow, thus
forming a second lino between North
Platte anu Medlcino Uow. It will be a
low grade line. S ate Journal.
