1877.
In October 1877, a mob of 400
armed Mexicans had possession of
El Paso and threatened to massa-
cre all the white citizens, and all th<
Americans who could get away fled
to La Metilla and other points up
the river. The trouble grew out of
a man named Zimmerman coming
into possession of the salt lakes in
ihe vicinity, and forbidding any
one taking out salt without permi*
sion. These salt lakes had been
common property for years. Zim-
merman’s agent, Howard, had t<>
flee for his life-From the Deni-
son News of Oct. 9: “Born, Sun
dav, October 7, at 2 p. m., to Mr.
and Mrs. J. Wood McMillin, a
boy.”---In October, 1877, Mr. L
Yeidel severed his business connec
lion with Louis Lebrecht and asso
ciated himself with Louis Libbe.
The arrangement did not long con-
tinue, probably owing to incompat-
ibility as they express it in divorc>
proceedings —„..In October, 1S77

“Upon a maxim.”

“Correct But suppose that

The greatest prize-fight In the his-
tory of the ring was undoubtedly the few Coods Exchanged for Old
one at Carson City, Nevada, in which
Robert Fitzsimmons unexpectedly
wrested the championship of the world
from James J. Corbett. Journalists of
note and even distinguished politicians
have published accounts of that famous
fistic battle, but no word description
could be given that would present to
the mind the animated picture thiat
was seen by the spectators of the event.
The eye alone can appreciate an oc-
currence of this nature. The triumph
of aclence in Invention now enables,
for the first time, those who were not
present at the Carson City mill to wit-
ness the great tight in all of Its de-
tails. Indeed, the veriacope gives a
more complete, representation of the
contest than was seen by the observers
on the ground at the time of Its occur-
rence, because It recorded a perfect
and faithful picture of every move-
ment, and many of them were so
quickly made as not to be detected by
the naked eye?
Efforts to make a photographic his-
tory of a championship fist fight began
shortly after Corbett defeated Mitchell
at Jacksonville, In 1894, for the cham-
pionship of the world. A sort of trial
trip was made In September of that
year, when Corbett knocked out Peter
Courtney In front of a machine that
had been set up in a New Jersey labo-
ratory.
But this was successful only in a

limited way. The photographing ap-
paratus was so delicate that a specially
prepared background waa needed, and
therefore it waa lmpoesible to carry
on a battle so that It should be visible
alike to a throng of spectators and to
the camera. But Improvements were
making rapidly.
When Peter Maher, having received
the championship of the world as a
gift from Corbett, fought Fltsstmmons
pear Langtry, Texas, on Feb. 21, 1898,
a photoghraphic machine was In read-
iness at the ringside. But the heavens
opened and the rain fell and beat upon
that machine, and the result was that
no picture could be taken of the battle.
The veriacope had not been developed.
When Fitzsimmons and Corbett
were at last matched to determine who
was the best fighting man In all the
world, preparations were made to take
pictures of their battle with the verl-
scope.
