Yesterday, Gim mett pawned his watcb to Slaughter for 75 cents, and this morning, while under the influence of liquor; he wanted Slaughter to giv. him back his watch. This Slaughter refused to do until Gimmett paid the 75 cents. Gimmett swore that be would kill Slaughter. He went away, and inan hour met Slaughter on Main street, in front of Ferguson’s restau “rant, and deliberately shot him, the bullet entering about an inch above the heart. Gimmett then coolly walked two blocks north and untied a saddle horse, hitched to a post, mounted and rode rapidly westward. Slaughter lingered until 2 o'clock this afternoon, and died in great agony. A posse of men went in pursuit of Gimmett, but he eluded them. Word reached here this afternoon about 4 o'clock that Gimmett was captured in Burne, twelve miles south of this place. Officers were immediately sent after him. Gimmett came to this place about six weeks ago. He had just completed a term of fifteen years in the penitentiary. Slaughter was a well disposed young man, and was well liked, and was not quarrel. some. A stimulant is often needed to nourish and strengthen the roote and to keep the bair a natural color.

San Francisco, Cal., Dec 17 —The fight between Sharkey and Fitzsim- mons for the $10,000 purse tied up by the latter, was suddenly ended yesterday when Judge Sanderson dissolved the injunction restraining the Anglo Californian bank from cashing the check. The judge held that the California law prohibited “boxing contests” as well as priza fighting, and said Fitz and Sharkey were both indictable. Neither Sharkey nor Lynch, his backer, pre- sented the check for payment to the Anglo Californian bank this after- noon. Manager Lilienthal of the bank stated that he would decline to cash the check pending the disposi- tion of several writs of garvishment against the amount of the purse. Tke reports were current subse- quent to the decision that Sharkey and Fitzsimmons, with their backers | and seconds, as well as Groom and| Gibbs, the two proprietors of the} national club, had been arrested. No/| one applied for warrants for the | fighters or their associates, however | and chief of police Crowley said he! had taker no action looking to the) arrest of the pugilists. from Belton, Texas, says: What is) supposed to have been a plot to! blow up the handsome new opera | house was discovered here yester | day.
