ald, at the request of the defense,
continued the hearing until this after
noon at 4 o'clock. It is expected that
two or three witnesses then will be
introduced in behalf of Lyons. Whcth
er Lyons will be asked to take the
stand has not jet been determined by
his counsel.
Carl Stone and Jack Benson were
examined for the defenso the last
thing yesterday afternoon, but their
testimony was not relevent. Neither
had seen a gun. Benson had assist
ed in lifting Marron from where he
lay in the street. Stone had simply
passed by about the time of the- af
fair. John Twomey and M. J
Brown had also been summoned by
tho defense, but they knew nothlnt
about the case.
For the prosecution, Thomas Mar
ron and JJ. Holland, the two com
plaining witnesses, were first to be
examined. They said that up to Sun
day night they had never spoken to
Lyons, and that they did not speak to
him then until 'confronted by him,
when he asked them "if they were
looking for anyjhlng." Holland re
plied "no." and Marron, standing in
front of Lyons with his hands in his
trousers pockets, asked, "what do you
want?"
, Both witnesses say that Lyons then
-whipped out his six-shooter and, after
pointing it at Marron, dropped the
gun to his side and using it as a bludg
eon struck Marron a terrific blow In
the face. Marron fell, unconscious,
in the street, and. Holland says, Lv
6ns then struck him on the head with
the gun, felling him to the street.
James T. Smith, miner, testified that,
he had known Lyons for a year, but
that he does not know either of the
complainants. He saw Lyons knock
Marron down with his six-shooter and
saw him strike Holland over the head
with the same gun.
After Marron was lying unconscious
in the street Smith saw- Lyons kick
the prostrate man in the face two or
three times. Lyons only struck Hoi-

DETAILS ARRANGED
WITH MUCH SECRECY.
TimeX Rlace!oPBattle Not De
cided Upon Both Said to Be
Confident of Winning Con
test at 148 Pounds.
After fixing challenges back and
forth for several weeks, Joe Strinker
'and Jack McKeever bave finally
agreed on the terms of a fight to be
pulled off betwen them In this part
ot the country within the near future.
Interested parties and the princi
pals met in one of the rear rooms of
a Main street saloon a few nlg'jts i'go,
and there discussed the details of the
match, finally agreeing on a side bet
of $ 100 and a division of the gate re
ceipts. When it was suggested that the
number of rounds be limited, both
fighters said that it would suit them
better to have the contest go to a
finish, and without delay an agree
ment to that effect was made.
The side bet of $100 Is now posted
and in the hands of the stakeholder.
Sevral other bets are said to have
been made with Strinker the favorite
in hs wagering because of tho suc
cess he has had in the past in dis
posing ot his opponents.
It is reported that the men will
meet at 14S pounds, though it is pos
sible for McKeever to make a light
weight as well as for Strinker to do
still better If forced in order to make
the match.
The two men are said to already
Ue. in, training for the go. Each is
determined to be In the best possible
qndl'Jon. To each of them It means
more than the money put up, the riv
alry between the two being bitter be
cause of former charges and counter
charges that have been made by each.
Just when or where the men will
meet has not been determined.
Whether the battle is to be on United
States or Mexican soil will be known
only to a few until the date of the
fight, and then to only a limited
number.

The two men were pulled apart, cov
ered with blood, by Officers Wllmoth
and Johnbon about 4 o'clock yester
day morning, while engaged in a
fierce battle on the floor of the Red
light saloon.
Baco claims that a man named Fo

part in the fight, used a knife on him.
He stated yesterday morning that he
would swear to a complaint against
Fogarty, but failed to do -so.
When the men were arrested they
presented a sorry spectacle. Each
had several cuts from which the blood
flowed. It was thought at first that
they might have been badly hurt, but
their wounds were superficial.

front rank of scrappers.
It has not been decided whether
or not there will be any preliminaries.
It is probable that everything but the

before going that he could not mako
a weight low enough for a match with
Strinker. McClung is said to be still
eager for another match in -ibis city,

caused a number of the sports to
doubt whether he has a chance with
either Strinker, McKeever or Barney.
