Fined I One Dollar and CostsThe First Excitement on the Street in I Many Days Has a Happy Ending Iso I-so Par a the Victor is Concerned Con-cerned How the Chief Justice of the Second Precinct Tempered Justice With Mercy and Let Ryan Off Easy 01 Account of Its Being His First Appearance in Court For several weeks the quiet of the city has been in an undisturbed condition con-dition and nothing more harrowing than the war news from the Cuban interior or the accounts of the Morris trial have been available for the ruffling of the feelings of the dear public I appeared for a time a though there never would be any more excitement I plunged by white winged peace The record was broken yesterday however and with it a portion of the nasal organ of Sam McIntyre superintendent super-intendent of the Ajax mine Its a long story but it must be toW Mcintyre and H 11 Ryan are both stockholders in the Ajax mine at Eureka Eu-reka in tact they are directors of this wellknown corporation Some time ago a contract was let for some tunnel tun-nel work in the mine which said work was completed and payment made therefor save a balance of some 2500 Opinions differed as to whether the same had been done in accordance with the plans and specifications and this difference in opinion led to Mc Irtyre losing a portion of the life giving fluid which courses through his veins McIntyre is quoted as not favoring I fa-voring the payment of the claim and it is alleged that at the same time he told the contractors that all which prevented their being paid was Ryans I opposition but this has nothing to do with the gladiatorial contest of yesterday yes-terday Ryan met McIntyre yesterday at the corner of Main and Second South the corner where a large sign on a small building announces that the firm which changes 20 bills and performs other pecuniary business inside was established in 1S59 He Ryan accused ac-cused Samuel of attempting to make I of him a scapegoat in this matter Samuel replied in words which repled literally translated mean that one is a liar and has a part in that lake which bubbles with eternal fire and sulphur as a basis Hostilities then began Ryan swung his right on Mclntyres chest and landed him against the bank building I owned by Walker Brothers the structure struc-ture trembling with the shock The II crowd was highly interested and a self constituted referee noted that Ryan should have been entitled to first knockdown knock-down as it was evident had not Mc lntyres frame collided with the building build-ing he would have fallen McIntyre was surprised at the blow He evinced it by his actions He eyed Han and Ryan focused him in his optic with a sort of OhIwontrtoa thingtoyounexltime youngfellow expression meantime sparring like a man who wants to welt someone and cannot reach him Rah fer Ryan sang out a by stander and Go fer Mm Sam was echoed by an adherent of the superin tendent Sam started to go fer im but Ryan was waiting So McIntyre came H M hit him a soaker on the nose that brought forth a claret stream of large dimensions and then I Sam quit He didnt come after qui anv I more although Ryan informed him I that he would be only too glad to serve j him country orders promptly attended to and all that sort of thing So Ryan I was voted the victor Sam went away and washed his damaged nose and Ryan well Ryan having waltzed prepared 1I 1 pre-pared to pay the fiddler 1I I I Attorney W I Snyder of Park City who was in the immediate vicinity swore to a complaint charging Ryan with assault and battery and H J 1 was snatched Into the court of Justice Jus-tice Sommer who sat expectantly waiting wait-ing for his judicial victim The reception was a cordial one Toughey greeted Ryan and party at the door with a well isnt this a picnic pic-nic smile and Morris looked as though he hadnt had an assault and battery case in years and was just I yearning to fine some one 500 and send him up for a century In the days of yore Ryan had joshed I Sommer and made life miserable for him Fiinc iao nVio AT n t o fw1 tn I go to the Knutsford dsit around and listen to the banjo players or the I music box and look at the orett guests over the balcony but date not because of the unmerciful manner in which Ryan used the chaff him So when the accused man entered his court he said Toughey come up here beside the chudge Court is in session ses-sion chentlemen Whats the charche against this man At the words this man Ryan 10Ql dup d-up with a sort of inquiring smile but the countenance of the judge wore no look of recognition I was as implacable implac-able in appearance as that of the late county attorney when he asked Bam berger to plead I was in vain that Ryan winked one eye and then the other Sommer had no responsive quiver of the eyelid in stock for him I Toughey said Morris sharply to the dog who acted as though he believed be-lieved counsel for the defendant was a bone and he wanted to chew him be kaviet Mr Constable what is the charche against this man Again that expression this man S 4 S r I I I I I 1 t Y S RYAN AS SPARTICUS I I in Salt Lake Men quarreled on the I street at times and the crowds flocked to see a scrap but the combatants never did more than to emulate Cor bett and Fitzsimmons and talk it out The very dogs contented their be ligerent selves with simply growling at one another as they passed and the stillness of the night was seldom fractured frac-tured by the caterwaulings of ferocious fero-cious felines until the lovers of excitement ex-citement pairedof ever getting out of the rut into which they had been r What is the Semitic individual thinking I think-ing of thought Ryan hIs it possible he is going to getevenwith me for all thejoshing I have given him t Why toesnt some one answer
