[ Special Telegram to the Uns.1 A brutal prbe- flght took place near this city to-dny between Jack Hlrllng , a local hitter , und James Hush , who claims to bo the mlddle-wclghtchnmplon of California. The fight has been eagerly looked forward to by Cheyenne sporting men for several weeks , and several hundred were present to witness the battle , which took place In Colorado , close to the Wyo ming line. The flght was under the London prize-ring rules , with skin-tight gloves , and for a purse of 300. Hush , who weighed 145 pounds , was outmatched by the Cheyenne man , who wcigned 157. Tlio first round opened with liVcly work , both men getting In heavy face blows. The Callfornian , however , was second best nucl came out of the round with a closed right eye , which ho failed to open again through out the flght. In the second round both men fought with caution and both favored the tactics of the Mitchell and Sullivon fight. The round ended with n rush and fall , with the Cheyenne man on top. In the third round Bush was severely slugged , and when it ended his face and body were covered with blood from a nufuber of terrible blows , while the Cheyenne man was uninjured. The remainder of the flght was n pitlablo exhibition of how much pounding n man can endure. For sU more rounds the Callfornian was unmercifully slugged and finally knocked out of time by being dosheu to the giound with such terrific- force that lie lay as though killed , and his second threw up the sponge. It required half un hour's rigorous work to bring the defeated man lo consciousness , nnd his physician states to-night that his injuries nro extremely dangerous and way prove fatal.

Wo crossed a stream of running water at least fifty feet wide and six lo eight inches deep , and , in fact , spent twenty two hours traveling in the cave without reaching any end except the one wo entered at. It is in u part of country filled with rough and beautiful scenery , nnd but u few miles from the Iron Mountain inilroad. I think it would make a line summer i osort , for the stream comes out fiom under the mountain , boiling up in a huge bowl , then flowing away to n line fall of borne thirty feet.

A large number of cattle were cd in this vicinity the past winter , and hough the season has not been profitable to ho average feeder , those hero have lost no nonoy although they have not. nuiac as mueli as they should. Most of the cattle from here invo been marketed In Omaha nt from $4 to M.IJO , made their expenses very light , whllo hey were receiving the top prices. The > ast few days have been warm and pleasant , unking everyone feel like going to work in earnest. Kearney has been considerably interested n the visit of General Whcaton and two or hrcc other oflicors who were supposed to bo icro looking over the locality for n drill ; round for the soldiers of the Department of too Plattc. The matter was given in charge of Mr. .lunn Hoyle , who is reputed to have n very extensive acquaintance ninong the reg- irmy olllccrs , and also enjoys the reputation of being an adept in the mixing of iced and fancy beverages taken for the stomach's sake. The two banquets given were very se ed and confined to those only who could tip- irccinte the delights of a Washington cock- ail. It had been given out , with a great deal of irusto , that Generals Crook and Morrow would be here , but , these gentlemen failed to recognize the honors and wines which the "mmaeulato Juan had so generously provided , .hrough a citizens' subscription list , nnd iienco the occasion lost some of its cntuusi- ism. The G. A. II. post hero had arranged o give Generals Crook ana Morrow n recep tion , and were much disappointed at their not coming.

Tins will be a gala day for the old soldiers of the county. Political questions do not seem to interest the people yet. The exceptions are a few who nt the proper time will be invited to give way to the choice of the people , who have shown on more than one occasion that no convention can force down their throats the willing tools of a trumped up convention. No republican club has yet been organiicd , nor ! > it neccss.iry one should be , as , with proper candidates , the county will go repub lican. The general opinion is that lion , G. W. E.

' Thcso funny animals have n theater of their own in Vienna , and' ' , are as much a fea ture of the amusements of that city as any of the companies of human players. It is said by able and judicious critics that many an actor might profitably learn bomolhing of value to his art by observing the&o intelligent quadru peds , and many curious and in teresting stories are told of their antics on and off the stage. The monkeys all have their own proper names , in addition to the names of lead ing actors and actresses with which they may have been christened by some of their admirers.

The court held that while such facts , if proved , might sub ject the principal to liability In n civil action , it could not hold to responsibility to n crim inal suit. In oilier Words , that unless it could bo shown that such sales were mndo by his orders , itnuxvlngly in violation of law , ho was not responsible. The court hold that n man's criminal responsibility was limited only by his own nets. Ho might bo llnblo in n civil action for damages for anything which an agent of his did , but ho could not be pun ished in a criminal suit nnd sent to prison because his clerk , acting without his orders or knowledge , should have violated the prohibitory law. The temperance people ple claim that this decision of ,1ml go Kavanngh Is in conflict with n recent decision of the supreme court. The court held in the case of a druggist that ho or his agents must know when selling liquors that , they were to bo used for purposes allowed by law. or wore to go to persons who were allowed by law to purchase. That decision hold that It was no defense for a druggist to say that ho did not know that a man who purchased liquor of him was an habitual drunkard , or that ho was under twenty-one , or that he did not intend to use it for legitimate pur poses. But those were cases in civil action and affected simply the dealer's rcsponsibll ity as under the pharmacy law. They were not cases of criminal prosecution , and were not intended to subject the defendant to criminal punishment if found guilty. Judge ICavivnagh's decision is plain , therefore , to bo not in conflict with the supreme court , and to lay down n line of responsibility somewhat different from any that has heictoforo been noted. WHAT IT ESCAPED DOINO. The legislature has been gone long enough for the people to review its notions nnd to begin to put some estimate on the result. There .seems to bo a general feeling of relief throughout the state that the period of sus pense nnd peril is past. When the work of the session Is summed up it will be seen that after all the legislature did not do very much that was positively pernicious , but what It really did do that was bad was very little in comparison to what it threatened to do. Hardly one of the large business interests of the state did not feel that it was exposed to peculiar peril as long as the legislature wns in session. Ono of thu prominent insurance men of this city remarked , after the session had closed , that if the legislalurc had passcU Iho bills affecting insurance companies that were proposed it would have closed every company in this city and mnue it abso lutely impossible for them to do business in Iowa. What was true of the insurance com panies was true of many other business in terests. A great deal of harm was threat ened , but comparatively little was done. The important measures tliat wore passed were the railroad bill apply ing the principles of the inter-state commerce act , to state traffic ; enlarging the powers of the commissioners so that they could llx rotes and prevent discriminations ; the law making tlio railroad commission elective ; the law amending the pharmacy law , adding more stringent provisions as to the sale olluiuors ; the law prohibiting pools , trusts and other conspiracies to regulate the production of articles of common use these are about all the laws of general importance. There were some hundreds of other laws made , but they wore largolyof local interest , the majority being legalizing acts. So , for n legislature that threatened to do u great deal of mischief by hasty and extreme legislation , the result is not nearly as bad as it might be. A \MI1TU 31UTTOX CONVENTION1. A call has been issued for a state conven tion of republican clubs to be held in this city Wednesday , May ii. The work of organising clubs has gone on very rapidly , und it is esti mated that there are now between two nnd three hundred clubs in this state. It is hoped that by the time the convention meets there will be at least flvo hundred clubs in the state. The enthusiastic convention held by the Nebraska clubs will bo an inspiration to the republicans of Iowa to equal tiicm in good works. As this convention will bo repre sented by tivo delegates from each club , it is expected that there will bo n very larpo and enthusiastic meeting. Some of the best speakers in Iho state amoung the young re publicans will bo pri'scnt , and the boys pro pose to have the liveliest nnd most inspiring convention over held in Iowa. fill ! lllhK IIM. . OUTLOOK. More interest is being taken in base ball this year than ever be-fore. It is felt that the old team Is much stronger than last year and is able to cope with nnv In tlio league. H Is also conceded Hint the Western association is a good deal stronger and faster than the Northwestern league was last year. These facts conspire to increase popular interest in tlio game heie in Oes Moincs and to make It scorn probable that the marked Huc-ct-ss of the game hist year will bo repeated with larger attendance and enthusiasm this. As the team Is now constituted it has no weak spots. AVhltely , l.i'it year's center fielder , was released u few days ago , the manage ment fueling that his services wore not re quired and that ho was hardly able to keep up with the company us the team Is now constituted. The present outfield is one of the strongest , according to base ball cranks , of any in the country. Van Dyke in loft Held , Hnlliduy in router , and Orator Slmtur in righl , make n strong combliialion for the out field. The pitcher's box will bo filled with Ciishnian , Into of the Metropolitans , Wells , of last season's team , Smith , a winner frnm the Southern league , nnd Kennedy , of hist year's team. McCullough will guard shot t In place ol Davy Forc-o , and will fill the position quite as ably. Joe Quinn , the Dunlap of the West ern association , as eastern pnners call him , will bo the field captain , and take care of everything In the vicinity of second huso. The team as a whole is considerably stronger in batting , nnd somewhat stronger in fielding , than it was last year. Ho , all things consid ered , it Is in good Khajio fur the season's work Tlio high water early last wcok flooded the park and spoiled the only exhibition games that wuru t have been plnycil before the season opened , Consequently DCS Moljies will have to wait for the regular games before It will have a chance to see any sport nt Athletic park. 'Iho team meanwhile is on a short tour playIng - Ing with several clubs in the later-state league nnd getting very valuable practice. ixVBvnoATixo TIIH USIVRHSITY. The committee appointed by the legislature to Investigate the affairs of the state univer sity Is acivoly nt work. | So many reckless charges have been made against the man agement of the university during the last few years that great prejudice has been created against thoschool. A few discharged professors and seine other personal enemies of the board of resents have been talking in n very uncharitable and very severe way of the managers of the university. It has been thought by the friends of the school that the best wtly to put u quietus upon all thc o charges was to have an oftirhil Investigation , with u verdict that would bo OIICP for nil a complete answer to the reck less slanders against the school. In the little Investigation that the committee linvo al ready made they discover that a good deal of the o.\pv'ctcd evidence rests upon a soit of moral basis that is very Intangible nnd substantial. They find that n good ninny of the charges MO based upon what men think nnd not what they know. So it is going to bo pretty ( llflh-ult to meet fnco to face u square and direct issue between the complainants and those whom they accuse , llOINn SI5VKUM , nt'N'IHlKD STUON'O.
