A Pierce 1'rlr.o Fight.
A liolly contested prinu light took
place in this oily itt IXH curly hour yester
day morning between Junk Nugent , n
notorious until nhnnt ( own , mid Mutt
Keith , n rub driver. Tlie light was nit
impromptu nd'nii and \viis the outcome
of dilllciillics which arose over a loan of
nionuy by Keith to Nugent , Tlio two men
met In lliggiim' saloon about 6 o'cloek
yesterday morning iind Keith asked Nu
gent to rottirn him his money. Nugent
refused to do It , and 1ml words cubtied.
Keith finally offered to light it out and
INngunl agreed. ' 1'hey left the miloon ,
intending to light on tlio street ,
but Ollieer llellnmy put In an appear
ance and tlio men desisted. Keith then
mounted his cub , which stood near Ilig-
giiiH' , and told Nugent to get in and ac
company him. Nugent complied , and
an accommodating gambler who was
prese.nt went with them to .see fair play.
The men drove to the head of St.
Mary's avenue , where they left the cab
and proei.ede.d to u Held near by. A ring
WIIH marked out on the ground and the
iirrungemenlH compleled for tin ; contest.
It wus agreed that the tight should be tea
a lin'iHli , and if Keith WIIH bested IK ;
HhouJd rellniiiifdi | all claims on Nugent.
The gambler who accompanied them
acted us Nugent'a .second , Keith allirni-
ing thai he could take care of himself.
The men , notwithstanding thu cold ,
stripped to tlie waist and faced
each other. When time wa.s called
both began spurring cautiously. Keith ,
however , noon warmed up 1,1 his work
and began to push Nugent. The latter
defended himself as best he could , but
Keith succeeded in getting in a savage
blow on his neck , which seemed to rultle
him. lie ecus-ed _ oll'ensive operations ,
and from then till the elo.se thu light
was .simply < lefensive on the part of Nu
gent. Hlows wore planted all over his
\iody \ l > y Keith , who only received a few
1.ght . tups in return. As"the round progressed
grossed Keith pressed Nugent closely ,
and owing to tlio hitter's poor guard ,
wicoceded in planting several sledge
hammer blows on his head and face ,
knocking him down time and again. Nti-
cenl managed to regain his feet and eon-
tmuo the lighting until a vicious left
hander took him in the car , fairly lifting
liim from the ground. Hi ! fell in an in-
scumble cond.tion , am although efforts
\vero made to restore him to conscious
ness lie failed to respond when time was
culled for the second round The light
was therefore conceded to Keith.
Nugent soon recovered consciousness ,
but was completely used up , it being
necessary to assist him to the cub. Thu
men then drove to the city , whnre a
doctor wa.s summoned and Nngent ! | > luc d
in hifl euro. Thu physieial reported his
injuries not serious , and after proper
remedies had been applied , he was aide
to appear on the streets , but in a sadly
disfigured condition.
When the resiilt of the fight was an
nounced , cousiderab o surprise was ex-
preHsed in sporting circles , where both of
thu men are well known. Nugent is of
muscular build and quite heavy , while
Keith is small and light. The latter ,
however , is the more active of tlio two ,
and displayed more science. Every blow
ho delivered counted , and Nugent suc
ceeded in retaliating with a clean hit
only once or twice.
It is probable that no arrests will bo
made for the mill , as there were no wit
nesses to enter a complaint. The two
principals , having settled their diller-
cnecs , arc again on friendly terms.

lively rate , u man suddenly appeared at

over tlio dashboard by thu drivur.
Placing the mu//.lu of a revolver against

the car and deliver over the cash. Huing
in fear of his life , tliu driver complied ,
surrendering the box and its ontiru con
tents. The robber then jumped from the
car and disappeared in the darkness. As
soon as he could recover his presence of
mind Woudrich drove into thu city ami
reported his loss at thu otlico of the com
pany. Hu could give no duliuitu de
scription of thu robber , but an ell or I will
be madu to capture him , Tlie amount
Jest by the street cur compuuy was $10
in cash and ' ' worth of tickets.
Tlio Ooniourntlo
Thu political pot is beginning to sim
mer vigorously. Present prospects uru
that thu coiniiigcumpuign will buonu of
thu hottest ( jvcr known in Douglas coun
ty. The republicans have met in con
vention and put up a hard-to-beat ticket ,
first-class in every respect. Thin week
the democrats will meet in convention
and make a desperate attempt to do
likuwl.se. Right heru it may bo said that
thu most onthiiMUntio democrat is a trillo
dismayed at the excellent ticket of thu
republicans , anji admits with commendable -
able candor that lliu contest will bu a
very close ouu.
As was thu cast ) among the republi
cans * tliu great fight in the dninocratiu
ru111 > 6 is going to center on thu candi
dacy for thu olllcu of sherill' . Theru uru
already a number of announced seekers
for thu candidacy , and It is possible that
new ones will couic to light before the
convention meets ,
Patrick Ford , as every man. woman
nnd child In the city of Omuhu knows by
this time , is seeking the honor , lie is
making a warm light , and will put forth
every endeavor to get there.
( Jeorgu Uuy is likewise n candidate for
the olliee , having already served two
terms in the capacity of sherlir. His
friend ! ) claim thut he is the dark horse.
Constable Snowdcn has also announced
himself as a candidate for the olllce. Hu
claims that if nominated he will secure a
large clnnu'iit of the O. A. R. vote which
would otherwise bo given to Coburn.
Pat OToole and Pat Lynch , both well-
known democrats , are said to be seeking
the olliee. ( jeorge Cunliuld , whoso iiiuno
has been quite often mentioned in con
nection with the candidacy for the shriev
alty , announces positively that he will
not run. Altogether this part culur portion
tion of the tight promises to bu a warm
one.
J'or county judge there are few can
didates us yet announced. Judgu Me-
Culloeh has made a good reputation in
his career as chief of this tribunal , and
it now seems us though ho would huvu a
walk-awuy so fur us any democratic op
position is concerned. 'Mr. T. F. Mo-
rlarity , a well known young attorney ,
will probably be the nominee of the con
vention on butnrduy.
For comity commissioner there seems
to be but one seeker ut'ter I lie nomination ,
Richtml O'Keefe , the present member
and chairman of the board. Air. O'Kcefo
is wejl known in Douglas county , and
in his career has displayed the strictest
integrity as well capability.
The nomination for the ollieeof county
clerk will be sought by thu present in
cumbent , Judge Hciicko. His principal
opponent , so far as can be ascertained
now , will bu JeirMegeuth.
1'ortho county treasurshlp there aru
several candidates. AI > - . Charles Good
rich , councilman from the Fourth ward ,
is making a warm canvass. It is probable
also , that the name of H. F Aladseu will
bis placed before tlie convention , as can
didate for this ollicu.
It is rumored that Air. J. 12. Riley , ex <
member of the state legislature , may
conclude to announce himself as desiring
the candidacy.
John Divv.l seems to bo about the
only candidate for thu oliieo of coroner.
For justice of thu peace in thu first
district P. A. Gavin , thu newspaper man ,
and Charles Hrundcs and Philip Andres ,
present incumbents , seek a rouominu-
lion. In the second district August Weiss
appears to have a clean sweep , while in
tlie third J. AI. Rogers is about the only
seeker for tliu nomination. It is said
that Justice Hartlett will also make an
independent rim for thu olliee in this
district. _

corner of Thirteenth and Douglas streets
yesterday which resulted in the arrest of
William McCuuley and Jell'O'Neil' , both
expressmen.
From the story told by the former ,
McCunloy , it would appear that ho was
about to take a trip to tliu depot , when
O'Neill , who was slightly intoxicated ,
stepped In front of the mare and held her
firmly. AleCuuluy whipped his animal
thinking that O'Neill would hucqnipcllcd
to release his hold. O'Neill refused to
do so immediately however , but when
AlcCuuley commenced to belabor him
souldly he jumped Into the wugon and
assaulted Him. I'lio two were haying a
rough and tumblu fight of it in this way
when a policeman camu up and arrested
AlcCuuley. O'Neill was nabbed teen
afterwards.

A BANKER'S DREAM.
A Eitrnnuo Prediction of Financial
Disaster Confirmed.
Now York Times : Wall gstreet men
huvu been brightening up u go.d ) many
reminiscences siucu Henry N. Smith , thu
big bear , failed l\w \ other day. Anec
dotes of Black Friday days buvo been
abandoned , and entertaining stones
have gone the rounds portraying old
Uncle Dun Drew , Commodore Vanderbilt -
derbilt , Jacob Little , Russell Sago.
Jay Gould , Fisk , Bulden , and all
the rest of thu distinguished gen
tlemen who huvo been with and
against him in his various tips and downs
of fortune. One morning , just before
the gold corner of IdiJi ) , a number of the
Smith-Gould coterie spent some hours in
luyiiig pliius to effect u slaughter of the
lambs. Smith himself did not arrive
until late. When ho did comu ho wa.s
"all of a tremble , " and bis face was
ghastly , lie threw himself into a
chair , and , while his intimates ex
pressed their astonishment , lie u.u le no
answer , until , finally , with an emphasis
that increased their uma/.emc'it , he
made u , bitter onslaught upon them all ,
not sparing even himself. "There is
only puo trouble to come out of all this , "
he cried. "You uru doomed to pay dearly
for all these plots. We muyswim fora
whilu ; but in thu end every ouu of us
will go to the bottom. Don't let us fool
ourselves. Lust night 1 hud a dream
more horrible than 1 can hint at ; and in
it you , and you , and you" the
bony linger of tliu speculator
pointed to lirst ouu and then another
of his copartners' in stock rigging "and
I wastheru , too. There weru flames
there , and there _ wuru wild beasts and
madmen with knives and stones. It was
horrible , horrible ! " Thu speaker sud
denly relapsed into silence and re
muined mule for nuurly an hour.
His friends went out with no appre
hension of the real meaning of the
strange scenu. Somu even thought
that over-uxcitcmunt from business
cures had ull'cctcd his bruin.
They didn't see him for days. When hu
did appear he still wore u look that wa.s
haggard. It wus all the effect of u sin
gle dream thut hud disturbed his sleep.
Within a month Black Friday came. Jay
Gould stands alone of all the company
to-day ; murder , social dishonor or finan
cial disaster has come to all thu rust
from Jim Fisk to Henry Smith.

When thoroughly uroused the broncho

Thu broncho is what the cowboys call
