Courtland Witnesses Sparring Match Courtiand, Jan, 19. Courtland, which is causing 80 much excitement in the mining world at present is rapidly aesuming metropolitan airs and a few days ago was regaled with an exhibition of a boxing match that caused more excitement than the location of the townsite. The principals in the affair were Jim Corbett, the champion middleweight of Tombstone, and Kid Chan, colored, middle weight champion of E. Paso.

Both weighed in at 158 pounds and from the tap of the gong until the fourth round things were about even; It is claimed that about this time it was discovered by the village that the darkey had a borseehoe in his glove and Referee Chas Roberta stopped the contest. The darkey claimed he had placed the horseshoe there just for luck. The succeed ing round was a hot one. Corbett putting the darkey down three times, the last time proving nearly a knockout, as nine seconde had been counted be fore Chan recovered his feet. The eixth round, which ended the exhibi tion was uneventful, both contestante breaking about even.

On account of the stringent law against prize fights in Arizona no decision was rendered by the referee, but the epectators seemed to think that Cori ett had the best of it. XXX. S. P. May Build Into There seeme to be no doubt but that the corps of surveyors now at Pearce are in the employ of the Southern Pacific and that that company i is making active preparations to build into the Leadville district.

From parties that came in from Gleason thie morning it is learned that a surveying party at work running a line into that district, the general impression there seems to be that the S. P. is endeavoring to build into Gleason. From the mouth of the canyon going into Gleason it would be easy to build a branch into Courtland, the distance being only about two miles, with but very little grade. Another incident that lends color to thie view is the fact that Mr.

Chas. Reppy, the right-of-way agent of the S. P. and Attorney Eugene Ivee, attorney of the same road, arrived in Tombstone today, and although both gentlemen disclaim all knowledge of any intent on the part of their comnaDy to build in.o Courtland, rumor is persistent here that this is the real object of their visit. Mr Reppy claims to be looking after some land deals his company is involved in near Bowie.

while Mr. Ives says be here in the interest of the Land company and would return 'to Tucson tonight. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Croup 104 Wheoning Conga. From Monday's Daily. To Cure a Cold in One Day in Cures Two Grip Days.

Parties who were in Fearce and saw the equipment state that from what they saw of the outfit that there is no doubt but what it is a party of S.

P. engineers, and that they are fully prepared to set the grade stakes for A railroad from Pearce on toward Gleason and Courtland. A part of the crew was in Gleason yesterday inspecting a number of ways about the camp but were not engaged in the actual work of running lines They refused to state the object of their visit to that section.
