ANAPPAIROFEONOR ,
A Misunderstanding Between
Two Actors Settled in

Five Rounds Fought and the
Contest Declared a
Draw.
Business and Not Buncombe
the Order of the Day.
Sunday morning rumors of an
ncounter , which was to take place
uring the day between two wel
: nown theatrical men of this city ,
were widely circulated and excited
much curiosity on the part of the
porting fraternity in general and th
eportorial corps in particular.
epresentative of THE BEE had ihi
good fortune to drop on the item and
as a preliminary to a mon
borough appreciation of th
engagement at arms , he inquired o :
a friend of the parties' what the csus
of the intended contest was. It ap
pears that the trouble originated ovc :
professional dispute which occurre
on Friday. The parties who had ar
ranged to figure in the arena were J
W. Dalton , stage manager at the St.
Elmo , and Hugh McNanny , a jig
dancer. Some misunderstanding
had arisen between the two
and on Friday night McNanny miascd
term to dp the jig , for w iich , ac
cording to the rule of the establish
ment , he was fined , but was let off
with $2 instead of $5 , the customary
amount. This an ored McNanny
who proceeded to go for Dalton and
Saturday evening ran him off the stage
into an adjoining room. Dalton ap
pealed to Manager Nugent , who told
McNanny that If ho couldn't
stand the thin2 he bad better close
with him and McNanny agreed there
and then to close his engagement.
Dalion however told him that if ho
was so anxious to fight ho would give
him a chance at any time and place
agreeable to him. The proposition
met with favor and it was agreed to
meet at 2 p. m. Sunday and
drive to a retired spot
in the suburbs and there
test the question of who was the best
man by a fight a la Heenau and Say-
ers. Pursuant to this agreement the
parties met ac the St. Elmo at 2 o'clock
Sunday afternoon , and having se
cured a hack the principals entered
taking their seconds and referee with
them , and drove rapidly to a spot
the vicinity of the White Lead works.
On the way their friends tried to rec
oncile the difficulty and got the
pair to make it up , but it was no go.
Arriving at the location selected , an
open space in the midst of the brush
and about three blocks froai the Nail
Works , the party alighted. It includ
ed , beside Dalton and McNanny
Jack Nugent , who was chosen RS second
end by the former , and Billy McCuno
by the latter , and Jim Connolly , se
lected to act as referee.
The quintette haslenenod from the
carriage to the site picked out for the
contest , and stripping the combat
ants made ready for business.
THEY FIGHT FIVE HOUNDS.
The parties wore both inexperienc
ed in the science of the noble att , but
caiuc to time looking well , and eager
fcr the fray. They again declined to
adjust their difficulties by arbitration
and after shaking hands they opened :
out on the first round. This round
did not last Ions before McNanny
knocked Dalton down , and got the
first blood.
On the second round Dalton got in
a well-directed blow on his opponent
knocking McNanuy off his pins.
The latter , however , did not fall , but
caught himself , and after shaking
hands time was called for the
Third Round. This time McNanny
got one in on Dillon's left optic and
put it in mourning. Dalton got in
blow on McNanny's ribs and put his
thumb out of joint and sprained his
hand. He fought all the same , how
ever , and this round lasted 14 min
utes , and was the best of the five.
The fourth round only lasted about
four minutes and McNanny came out
best.
_ The fifth round begun and was con
tinued -vigorously for about five min
utes when a hack hove in s'ght ' and It
was suspicioued that it contained
pease of police. The combatants were
separated and made to re
treat into a secluded spot where their
clothes were brought and they were
assisted to drees , the fight being de
clared off.
The whole affair lasted less than
three quarters of an hour and was
draw fight , although Dalton got a lit
tle the ivorat punished , on account of
his hand and eye. McNauny hit Dal
ton in the ribs once and tore hia
thumb nail off down to the quick.
Both were pretty well punished for a
scrub fight. They shook hands every
round and when they quit shook
again , culled it square and took a
drink together.
01T THE TRACK.
A good many who got wind of the
affair in the morning tried Jn vain to
ascertain where it was to take place
but every ono located it differently
and the consequence was no ono was
present at the outset except the prin
cipals , seconds , referree and hack
driver , and the latter was off about
ono hundred yards from the affair
when it took place , not relishing that
kind of fun , and declining the invita
tion to take n front seat.
The noise of the blows attracted the
attention of passers-by first and about
forty gathered around at a respectful
distance. They say the blows were
heard at the wagon road , sounding
like pistol shots. The hack which
drove up and stopped the fight con
tained some friends of the parties.
The police were on the lookout for the
affair but didn't go out until 3 o'clock
p. in. , when the light was all over.

A Pathetic Tear-Stained
Document Fulminated for
the Sake of Harmony ,
v
And Endorsed by Gould's
Dragoons of Every Bank
and Station.
Whereas , Wo have vainly appealed
to the republican county central com
mittee , for the sake of harmony and
success , to retrace their stops and
abandon the unholy scheme that in
fringes upon the divine right of Jay
Gould to control the nominations of
the republican party in Douglas
county , and ,
Whereas , It cannot bo claimed for
a moment that the central committee
can arrogate to itself the power to ap
point judges and clerks of election
and thus deprive us of our inafienable
right to appoint such judges by a rab
ble of repeaters , tramps , democratic
bummers , section hands , gravel-trail
men and bulldozed laborers from the
U. P. yards ; and ,
Whereas , The committee has no
power to deprive Pete Murphy's dem
ocratic gang of their right to vote a' '
the fifth ward republican poll as roanj
times as they see fit to do so , much
less cm such committee put the col
ored waiters at Markel's Dillouvill
hotel on the black list as non-real
dents , thus making it possible for th
scoundrels who oppose Jay Gould I
perpetuate themselves in power in th
central committee ; and ,
Whereas , The exercise of such arbi
trary power would destroy our chances
to send a delegation to the next legislature
laturo from Douglas county that wilde
do Jay Gould's bidding and servo the
interests of the Union Pacific railroad
and ,
llliereas , The last legislature , after
it was lubricated with U. P. passes
and other valuable favors , did , by the
kind advice of that pure and patriotic
statesman , John M. Thurston , exempt
our depots , depot grounds , machine
shops , headquarters buildings , and
? other valuable property , from local
taxation ; and ,
Whereas , The outrageous registra
- tion plot concocted by that scheming
Bohemian Roaewatcr , seriously
threatens us with a repeal of these tax
, exemption laws which would disrupt
and rend asunder all the ties that
. bind us to the great republican parly
therefore , we most emphatically pro
test and remonstrate against thip
. villainous scheme and wo denounce
the said Rosewater as a public enemy
,
who should bo fired out of the repub
lican camp for the sake of harmony
, which is so desirable in Una crisis.

The U. P.Band Excursion.
Saturday morning at nine o'clock
twelve passenger coaches , loaded down
with pleasure seekers , pulled out from
the U. P. depot with flying colora and
amid the inspiring strains discoursed
by the TJ. P. band. Arriving itil
a Horth Bond about noon , a general
stampede was made for hotels. Such :
as brought lunches along repaired at
once to the grove. Our reporter who
was fortunate enough to fall into the
hospital arms of Al. Norris , the sen-
tlemanlv proprietor of the North Bend
hotel , did ample justice to a meal that
a would tickle the palate of the must
fastidious epicurean in the land.
After dinner the 3.a
grove presented 3.f a
very animated appearance. Every
body Bccmed to be "out
for fun. " A very noticeable
feature of this picnic was the absence
of the rougher element usually ac
companying excursions of this char
acter. Everything passed oft' pleas
antly , and between the delightful
music , the "dreamy wallzo" and the
exciting physical contests , ono could
Idf.
not very well help enjoying oneself.
f.ro
, These trials of strength and skill were
, very interesting. In the long roe
there were sovcn entries. Chns. Kruj
was the fleet individual whoboroaway
the prize an elegant gold chain.
There were four entries in the sack
race. The prize , a set of gold studs
was won by M. Connolly.
In the thrco legged race five pair ol
contestants toed the mark. The ro
suit was a tie , and the prize , a pair o
silver goblets , was divided between
Messrs. White and Arnold and Coa
and Pflaeging.
The wheelbarrow race was next it
order ; six entries were made , and the
diamond pin awarded to M. McKiii
. ney.Tho
The excitement finally centered or
the vaulting match with polo. There
were ten contestants for the watch :
chain , and some wonderful vaulting
was done. The prize was awarded tc
Tom.'Meldrum.
At 5 o'clock the conductor's "All
aboard ! " caused a rush for the train
and ten minutes later seven hundred
tired but well pleased picnickers were
being hurled homeward.

RIVER RIPPLES ,
The Steamer Key West Severs
Capt. Porter's Cable.
A Lively Day on the River
Front.
The river front presented the live
liest appearance Sunday morning
that it has worn for many months.
The steam ferryboat "Undine , " Capt.
Cowles , began her regular trlpa to and
from the Iowa side , an easy and safe
landing having been constructed at
the foot of'Douglas street and another
opposite the smelting works. Capt.
Porter's ferry and the barge were
busy and a whole fleet of small sail
and row boats skimmed over the wa
ter like birds of passage.
At G o'clock in the morning the
Key West arrived bound down the
river. The Key West is a large stern
wheel steamer 208 feet in length and
33 feet breadth of beam. She wont
up the river in 1877 and had neverre-
turned since , having been engaged in
freighting between Bismarck and Fort
Benton. In this work aho made four
trips this season , the last one being
accomplished in nine days' time , a
distance of over 1000 miles. She Is
oQlcered as follows : Captain Maratta ;
pilotj James Smith ; engineer , John
Mirth ) .
The Key West left Yankton last
Friday morning arriving at Sioux
City , 140 miles , that evening. She
left Sioux City at 4 o'clock Saturday
morning and at 8 o'clock in the eve
ning tied up for the night at Florence.
In coming into the port here she ran
into Capt. Porter's heavy wire cable ,
cutting i ; in two like a thread and
dropping it into the water. The olfi-
; cera did not know the cable was there
and did not see it until too late to avoid
theaccidcnt. The derricks passed under
in safety , but the stacks were about a 1
foot too high and caused the accident.
No dinngo was done to the boat.
The steamer rounded to and landed
and a man was sent to measure the
height of the TJ. P. bridge above the
water. It was found to bo 53 feet ,
exactly the height of the stacks which
were thereupon lowered a few foot.
There was no freight or passengers on
board and at 9:05 : cclock the boat
y
X pulled up the river to Dodge street ,
made a graceful , sweeping curve in
. the river , headed for the channel be
tween the two west piers of the
;
bridge and sped between them like an
arrow , on her way to St. Louis , where
aho will lie up for the present.
TUB FEUIUES.
At the invitation of Capt. Cowles |
our reporter made a trip to the Iowa
,
side and back on the Undine , and
found the same very pleasant.
Her Iowa landing is made a
half a mile above Capt. Porter's Jand-
ll
ing , and exactly on a line with Broadway l-
ly
, way , in Council Bluffs. The roadway
over the sand is hard and smooth | ,
and the drive to the city just-two and
. a half miles. By the way , the Undine
would make a very pleasant excursion
boat , as she can accommodate 300
passengers , and the space around her
deck will accommodate a set any
, where ; ten to fourteen sots could be
, danced at once.
Capt. Porter's boat will bo running
. again just as soon as the cable can beget
got up and spliced This is the second
end time it has been down in tbo past
week , having just been got out of the
water Friday from its last dive.

Only three days more remain for
the registration of republicans under
regulations adopted by the county cen
tral committee. The desperate effort
which the Union Pacific managers and
their j organ are making to defeat this
reform is the best proof of ita utility
in the interest of the people. Every
republican who wants an honest ex
pression of onr party through the del
egates to the state convention and the
candidates who are to represent us in
the next legislature , should have him
self enrolled on the registration list.
Nobody can bo registered unless ho
makes a personal application to ( ho
registrars.
For the convenience of all classes
of republicans four registration offices
have been opened , viz :
At Ferguson's drug store , corner
Twelfth and Douglia ; Parr's drug
store , Tenth and Howard ; Boeder's
drugstore , corner Webster and Six
teenth ; and Titus' druij store , Thir
teenth street.
The hours of registration at all theao
places will bo from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m. ;
3 p. in. to 5 p. in. , and 7 to 9 p. m.

I am nearly a stranger in this city
having lately taken up my residence

here.But
But I have been watching your con-
troverfy with The Republican on the
subject of registration at primaries
with considerable interest.
I am in no way interested and am
not a voter , although a republican ,
nor do I wish to vote at the primar
ies , have no feelings of like or dislike ,
or leaning , or prejudice towards either
party. So I think I may safely de
clare myself wholly impartial.
Now , as an Impartial spectator , will
you allow me to express my honest
opinion on the subject , which is
this : I cannot for my life discover ,
after reading both sides carefully , any
possible object an honest man can
have in opposing a fair registration ,
such as the one in controversy.
The only object I can possibly perceive -
ceivo Is to allow acoundrelism and
villainy to triumph by getting undue
advantage over honesty and decency.
Bnd it further appears to mo that men
who oppose a juat registration are endowed
dewed with all the moral qualifica
tions and stand on a level with the
cowardly eouthcrn bulldozer.
