Ho flatter's himself. 1don’t requiro it. Ihave baen before the American public for eoleven years. He calls meo ‘that man Mitchell’ and says L don’t want to tight. Not to copy him, I say that Old Woman Sullivan has to do is to put his name to the articles that the Olympio club forwards him, The pleasure it would giz:» him to thrash me, ac- cording to his own accounts, ought, to be tisfaction enough, outside of the financial enefits derived thereb, It seews incredi- Ule that a purse of ,009 is not enough to satisfy this man, who tried to gull the Americans by saying that [ am such an easy mark for him. It is he himself who requires free advertising for, from all accounts, & rotten show. T want this to be final, for' I require no nowspaper talk. To lu-an that I am no bluffor, I hers state that will fight for the purse offered by the Olympic Athletio club and will conform to their rules. I will put up $2,500 deposi that 1 will forfeit to the club if I do notappear on the night they fix for the contest. [ will also bet $,500 more that I am proclaimed victor. I do not want any one to fix up challenges ond then beat apout the bush when a straightforward reply comes. I believe that what | have herein stated will meet with the aprroyal of fair minded and sport-loving public of America. I will oconcede to Sullivan his choice of rules. Yours truly, “CrarLES MITCHELL."

A Rroater contrast could hardly be imagined than that which exists between the summer Sunday in South Omaha and the same day in winter. In warm weather it is almost an irpossibility for a lady to walk down N or Twenty-fourth streets. The sidewalks are lined with a miscellaneous congregation ot loafers who loiter in front of the saloons be- tween drinks avd stare at every woman who passes, Insulting remarks are made, not loud enough to constituto a breach of the peace, but just loud enough to be heard by those who are passing. In winter we are al- st ontirely free from this nuisance, which esuits from the weekly visits of the fra- lll‘!rl\flrby of bummers from Omaha and Council s, ome measures should be taken this spring to prevent tho respectable people of the city from being annoyed this eummer as they have been in the past. It is nonsense for the . city authoritios to say that it cannot be helped. Thnero is nn on why a crowd of loafers from other towns should bo allowed to take possession of our principal streets every Sunday and render it impos- sible for decent people to traverse them with- out insult, South Omaha has become rospectable to a sufficient dogreo that the municipal officers will find that public senti- meat wiil uphola them in a crusade against this nuisance.”” They Went Slelghing, There was snow enough ou the ‘paved streets yesterday for fair sieighing, and the South.

His assor- tion that he stood me off twice and extracted a forfeit on both ocoasions from me is untrue as the records of the contest can prove, Theso men have hounded me ever since Mr. Harrison and myself formed our partnership, They came here full of blow and vombast, professing to have pleuty of money to back either or both to fight me, knowing my hands were tied, but on beiug callud by Charlos Johnson of Brookiyn, who deposited $2,500 with the New York Herald, they were found wanting.

Thatis a manufactured story out of whole cloth, and, in my conviction, i3 simply un effort on the part of Mitchell to ovade the issue. Mr. Sullivan himself was the author of the challenge. This can bo proven beyond peradventure of doubt.” Mr. Harrison, after speaking of Slavin's avowed willingness to fight said: “It i rather peculiar that Slavin, upon Sultivan’s arrival in San Franciszo from Australia, made a mateh with Jackson, a man whom ho professed to ignore, thus placing tn obstacle in the way of his meeling Sullivan, A ““To summarize the whoie matter, Sullivau has called their bluff and thoy know it thoroughly and they aro offering all sorts of excuses o avoid the issue.

Dr. McGlllyeuddy Tells of One of His Pine Ridge Rarm Crry, S, D, March 4.—To the Editor of Tur Ber: Iquoto as follows from an ar ticlo in vour issuc of March 8, headed ‘A Fraud Exposed” (Washineton special, Fen ruary 24), in whick I am taken to task for having employed ono William A. Coflield, an ox-rebel soldier, during niy tecm as agont at Pine Ridge agency: ‘It appears that Cofinld was appointed farmer at Pine Ridge in Janu- ary, 1855, upon the recommondation of Agent MeGillycuday, who will now have an oppor. tuoity o explain his action." Presuming from this public notice that it will be allowablo to encroach on your space, and in as briof a manner as possible, will en- deavor to obtain absolution for this crimo committed in by-gone years: When in 18570 Tassumed charwe of Plne Ridge agency northwestern Nebraska and southwestern Dakota was an unorganized region, devoid of soldiers or towns, and ward cuucases and political conventions wero a thing of the re- mote future, and my employes were solected for their nerve, courage and experionco in dealing with the Indisus and white border ruffans, aud not from thelr past or pros pective sorvices as political strikers. In fact, Pine Ridge was not managed asa po- litical agency or muchine, with the exception that as agent I was appomted asa revub lican, had always been one, anda trust that | will average pretty woll as'such today. In 1850 Mr. Coffield, recently dischargoed us a soldier from tho regular army at Fort Robinson, Neb,, for disability, apolied to me tor n position. He was honorably discharged with a good record for conrage aud abilivy. He was given the position of telograph operator and assistant chief of police. From that time until my dismissal from the Indian service by the democracy for “insubordina- tion" in 1886, Mr. Coffleld renaered long and faithful service on tho reservation in many capacities and, to his credit, 1 never found him lacking in courage or tact when placed in the most trying position. He was largoly instramental in bringing the Pine Ridge Indian police to their ac- knowledged high state of discipline and efticiency 1n those years by his ability as a drillmaster, and his leadership in dangerous performance of their duty. He was ono of the brave and faithful employos who stood by me in August, i882, when the surround- ing country was ina panio by reason of threatened ~outbreak oun the part of Red Cloud, when the troops in western Nobraska and Dakota were held in readiness to movo on Pine Ridge, but which affair, thanks to the courage of a fow white employes ana residents, wad the faithful Indian policoe, re- suited in the arrest of Red Cloud withoutthe intervention or presence of the military. Mr, Coflield was given employment as an ex-soldier of the regular army and not as an ex-rebel, and it is to his credit that he stood by his convictions when he lived in tho south, and fought as a_ soldier in the rebel army, and is more entitled to rospect than the skulking copperhend of the north who 1a many instances has become a galvanized ro- publican. It was bad taste to have referred to his sorvico as a rebel in seoking appolntment wuader the Cloveland administration, but not remarkablo on the wholo considoring the fact that the then sccretary of the intorior, L. Q. C. Lamar, was an ex-rebel and tho heads of the Indiun bureau of that depart- meunt, Commissioner Atkins and Assistant Commssioner Upham were appointed #s ox colonel and adjutant respectively of a rebel regiment. Mr. Coffield aud the old employes of Pino Ridge for 157910 1836 neod have no fear but that the rd of the management of the agency during that time will always compuro favorably for efliciency, honosty and progress in tne advancement of the Indian, with any past, present or future one, If'in the aatumn of 1500, ‘on the inception of the so-called Sioux “‘outbrenk,” thero had been fewer political strikers av' Pine Ridge, and more mwen of tho Cottield stripe, there would not have been such a display of abject cowardice and call for {roops at the threat- ened materialization of the *Messiah,” and many lives aud heavy expenditures of money would have been saved. 1 venture to say that 1f the fellow who indited the above referred to special was ever in action, his position was where tho oullets wero thickest, i. e., in the raar under an ammuoition wagon. I should be asked something more dificult to explain. Yours truly. T. McGILLYCUDDY. sxpress Matter Missing.
