Speaking of the death in Nevada recently of Michael Cullen, an early of last evening says: John Judd Sr. was sinking a shaft somewhere in the vicinity of Allison Ranch and was using a horse and whim to hoist the dirt. Cullen went to Judd and offered to bet him that he (Cullen) could hoist a heavier load out of the shaft with a windlass with his bare hands than the horse could pull out of the shaft. Judd would not avcept the bet. & Cullen was a dauntless fighter, and his combative nature involved him in many’ serious difficulties. Passing
along the streets of Grass Valley one day he sawa friend involved ina row, surrounded. by fighting men. A glance was: sufficient. He dashed into the areles, picked up his friend, threw pias out of the crowd with the remark,: “ away now, Iam good for the lot of sa and peace was soon declared. He had a terrible fight with “Gill” Mead, a colored barber, who was like himself a Mead’s shop, then on Mill street, just below where H. Uphoff now keeps. The fight lasted over half an hour and resulted in a draw, suve that Mead had part of his nose either bitten or gouged off. Mead was @ well-known jumper and could do 42 feet in three jumps either forward or backward. He used to be a partner of J obnson, the barber, then in Downieville. Old timers wi}}j remember the terrible rough and tumble fight he had at Allison Ranch in which he beat his antagonist to death. He was saved from the gallows by the {inmates of the “Star,” then a famous . resort, It took a long life to wear Cullen out. He never avoided a danger in his life and all he ever .asked for was a place to stand and use his eyes and other It would be hard to find another just such man, \ Magufcent Combination forthe Pemle 89999099 A Popular Line of Latest Spring Attractions G6999S89S An unlimited variety in ev We are offering these inducements with the best and handsomest Spring Goods you ever saw. -QUALITIES AS YOU LIKE THED1.
