Show That Beastly Fight. 9 Would it not be a good idea to cut prize fight- 9 Ing out of the r ;ular attractions of the Great , Jj West? Was that really such an edifying specta- cle at Goldfield? Was anyone made better or 9 braver by It? Was not tho whole business de- 9 grading and brutalizing. A white man and negro ' 9 battering each other out of shape for three long 9 hours. 9 And the negro proved not only that ho was a 9 better fighter but more of a man In every sense of 9 tho word. Was there a decent man In that com- 9 pany who was not ashamed as he left tho ground? 9 "But such pluck and endurance and skill, it 9 was splendid" says an enthusiast. By that rule 9 then a bull dog is entitled to even more credit, , jfl for the bull dog either wins or dies when left to jfl I gjj&HH himself in a game of that kind. The whole busi- lnHH hgbs is brutalizing and we do not believe that 'Wb Nevada will have a repetition of it within her lHHHHj borders for a long time to come. |
