THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1896. PUT OUT IN THE SEVENTH ROUND, “Bright Eyes” No Match for the Rushing Joe Walcott. WAS BADLY PUNISHED There Was a Material Shorten- ing of the Proposed Length of the Battle. FREQUENTLY SENT TO EARTH. Scott Collins Was Clearly Out of His Class When He Tackled the Favorite. LONG ISLAND CITY, L. 1., March 16.— The Eureka Athletic Club, formerly well known as the Puritan Athletic Club, was opened to-night with a 20-round bout be- tween Joe Walcott, the colored wonder, and Scott Collins, better known in pugilis- tic circles as ‘‘Bright Eyes,” for the pre- mier attraction. The clubhouse has been entirely renovated. Notwithstanding the bad weather there was a fair crowd pres- ent. Among the well-known lights in the fistic world who were present at the open- ing was Dan Stuart. The Walcott-Bright Eyes battle was to have been decided at Stuart’s memorable El Paso carnival. After an argument be- tween Tommy West of California and William Quinn of Hatfield, Pa., in. which the latter was given the decision, the stars of the evening were announced. Walcott was a favorite at 100 to 40 on. The bout was announced as a twenty-round en- counter, which was five rounds shorter than was advertised for. Time was called at 10:40 p. >t Round 1—After a lot of sparring Walcott landed a right hand swing on the body. “Bright Eyes” uppercut Joe with the left, and ‘Walcott landed a left swing on the shoulder. They mixed it up, and Joe swung his left ‘wice on the nose, drawing blood. They were clinched when the bell rang. Round 2—Light sparring. Walcott swung his right and caught “Bright Eyes” on the face. “Bright Eyes” swung and Joe ducked, the Texan overbalanced and slipped anfl Joe rushed and sent in his left hard on the jaw, forcing “Bright Eyes” head down. /Walcott fell short and “Bright Eyes” landed a corking right on the neck. Joe landed twice lightly on the chest and followed. his man with a “water- melon grin,” when the bell rang. Round 4—Walcott pasted his man right and Jeft on the face. *Bright Eyes” put his right twice on Joe's jaw, but Waicott retaliated with both hands on Collins’ face, nearly pushing him through the ropes. “Bright Eyes” jabbed his man with the left and uppercut him with the right, Joe shot both hanas on “Bright Eyes'” face and the southerner went down. A hot rally followed. Round 4—Walcott jabbed hisman three times with the left on the face and sent & hard right on the body. He kept after him and landed rightand left, but “Bright Eyes” evened up withon corking right on the jaw. Just before the gong sounded Joe pounded his man twice with the left on the jaw. The pell was sound- ng as Joe landed again and there were cries Round 5—Walcott forced his man to his knees. “Bright Eves” swung a hard right on ’s head. Hard fighting followed. They ned and the referee stepped between them. While the referee was between them Joe swung hifs Teft hard on the neck, and the house rose to a foul, but 1t was not allowed. Round 6—Joe rushed at his man and floored him six times in succession with rightand left swings on the jaw. The bell sounded and raved “Bright Eyes” from a count out. He was on the floor when the bell rang. Round 7—“Bright Eyes” was groggy but game. Joe landed a right on the jaw, and the Texan went to his knees. “Bright Eyes” got up with a last despairing effort and planted his right on Joe's neck. It was only a flash in the pan. Walcott came back at him like a wildcat. Five times Joe swung fearful rights and lefts on *‘Bright Eyes'” neck, sending him down, and each time he got wup groggier than before. At last Walcott measured the dis- tance carefully, and with a fearful left-hand swing on the jaw floored the Texan. “Bright Eves” fell on his back and turned completely over. He put hisface on his hands and lay there with his limbs twitching. Before the referee could count him out his backers threw up the sponge. The last round lasted two min- utes and fifty-five seconds.

Twenty Thousand Salvationists Turn Out at a Mesting to See the Booth-Tuckers Depart. LONDON, Exg., March 16, — Twenty thousand persons to-day attended 2 meeling of the Salvation Army, held in the Crystal Palace, for the purpose of welcoming General Booth, the commander of the army, who returned a few days ago from India, and bidding God-speed to Mr. and Mrs. Booth- Tucker, who will sail shortly for New York to assume the command of the Sal- vation Army in the United States. The principal feature of the meeting was an address delivered by General Booth, after which Mr. and Mrs. Booth-Tucker were called to the front of the plfluc{rm. Two ofticers then lifted a large American and Salvation Army flag over their heads, which was followed by a remarkable, unanimous outburst of cheering and clap- ping of hands. General Booth then grasped the hands of his son-in-law and daughter and in a few thrilling words dedicated them to their new work. BOSTON, Mass., March 16.—When seen to-day regarding the announcement from New York that he had become a leader in the Salvation Army, Dr. Clark of the United Society of Christian Endeavor said : “I have not joined the army as anactive worker—simply as an auxiliary member, as lots of other Christian people have aone. I simply paid a certain amount which made such a member. I thor- oughly believe in the work, as the army reaches a class of people which no other organization can.” To Increase the Rates.

Attorney-General Fitzgerald Says the ZTaxes Must Be Paid. Attorney-General Fitzgerald, when seen last evening, was busy preparing his argu- ment to be presented in the railroad case in the United States court to-day, but he delayed his work long enough to say: “The dispatch from Washington an- nouncing the decision in relation to the tax case is too meager to enable me to make any extended statement as to the merits of the decision, but it means this: The railroads will have to pay their taxes to the State. It means that they will have to pay about $1,000,000 into the State treasury, and it means that this is an end to all quibbles about Federal franchises and the like. This decision also means that in the future the railroads will have to pay their taxes.” LAUNCHING OF THE IOWA. Governor Drake’s Daughter Will Christen the Battleship.

DENVER, Covo., March 16.—Broker Randall successfully cleared at the Colo- rado Mining-stock Exchange to-day, and as no other broker failed to meet his obli- gations at the Clearing-house further trou- ble over the attempted Bluejay corner has apparently been averted. - Many complica- tions, however, remain unsettled between various brokers and their clients. A num- ber of customers had left stock with bro- kers to be sold at stated prices. Owing to the failure of three brokers to clear Satur- day the other brokers trading in Blueja; were forcea to liquidate as best they could, and they are now attempting to settle with their respective customers accordingly. The board of directors have decided to hold an investigation upon the Bluejay deal.- It is stated that a conspiracy to de- fraud, and not a corner, was atiempted, and that interesting developments a%fect— ing not only Brokers Randall and Royer, but the Lincoln Boy and the Bluejay Com- pany will be disclosed. However, the gen- eral opinion prevails.that Randall and Royer schemed to make a corner on_Blue- jay. and when in the excitement of Friday {er lost his head Randali protected him- self to the disaster of his associate. The Mining Exchange has decided to make a new List of stocks t6 be called, and throw out all companies that cannot pass a rigid inquiry. Opposed for His Criticism. WASHINGTON, D.

SOUTH RVERSIDES GAN Barcn Harden-Hickey Gomes Into Possession of the Cerreto Estate. Intends to Make His Country Home One of the Most Beautiful in California. LOS ANGELES, CArL., March 16.—The Daily Journal says Baron Harden-Hickey, otherwise known as James I, reigning monarch of the island of Trinidad, has possessed himself of another principality, the title to which Great Britain or other foreign nations cannot dispute. The baron has, through L. L. Bowen of this city, purchased of R. B. Taylor the beauti- ful Cerreto ranch at South Riverside. The property consists of 130 acres under the excellent irrigation system of the South Rivarside Colony. "The land is smooth and Iies on a gentle sloping mesa, being nearly level except for a butte that rises to a commanding height near the center of the property. On this eminence are a large houste, barn and reservoir, There are 11,000 vigorous lemon trees, be- sides 7000 of other varieties and many ornamental trees and shrubs. The place is bordered by eucalyptus trees. Experts estimate that the product of the ranch will pay the purchase price in four years. Baron Harden-Hickey is reported to be very enthusiastic over the purchase. He bas announced that he will improve the property to a high degree, and he expects to have a country home that will not only rival but eclipse the famous Smiley AMERICANS TO BE ARRESTED, Canada Will Protect the Herschell Island Trade. PROMPT ACTION LIKELY. San Francisco Whalers Said to Be Infringing in Hudson Bay Territory. CUTTERS MAY BE SENT NORTH. Collector Milne Charges That the Amer- ican Schooner Fleet Is Abusing Its Privileges. VICTORIA, B. C., March 16.—Through representations made to the Dominion Government by Collector Milne steps are shortly to be taken for the better protec- tion of Caradian interests at Herschell Island, where, according to the latest re- ports, they are being infringed upon. As a result of Milne's report the Government will at once begin a systematic campaign against the American fleet in Arctic waters, and it is not unlikely that revenue cutters will soon be dispatched to the nortkern island to lie in wait for any rea- sonable excuse upon which to make ar- rests. Herschell Island is situated in Macken- zie Bay, at the mouth of Mackenzie River, and affords the best winler quarters for shipping in the whole of the Artic region. It is, in fact, the only safe sheltering place known east of Point Barrow. In the snug little harbor, in the southern portion of the island, whalers have long been known to rendezvous in winter, but, it is claimed, Americans have abused their privileges, and the Dominion Government proposes to cause them trouble. What method will be employed has not yet been definitely decided on, but it will be done effectnally. Seventeen whaling vessels—all American and nearly every one hailing from San Francisco—have this season wintered at Herschell Island with damaging results to the Hudson Bay Company’s trade at Fort Ferguson and the demorolization of the Indians. This latter subject has been brought to the attention of the officials by letters received from the Right Rev. Bishop Reeves and Rev. J. O. String er both missionaries in Northern Alaska. It is claimed that the effect of the bad in- fluences of unscrupulous whites is tending rapidly to the extinction of the natives. The Hudson Bay Company’s trade, car- ried on overland from Edmonton, has been seriously injured by the competition of whalers, which, instead of fitting out annually, as was their custom until quite recently, are now in the habit of equipping for expeditions of three or even more years, their supplies being replenished by two steamers from the south, which go north every year. Whisky and other goods, particularly fancy articles, and principally of worthless description, are bartered off among the Indians, who in return pay handsomely in furs. It is estimated that 700 people passed this winter at Herschell Island, THE NEWS OF SAN JOSE. Edward Andrew Barron’s Claim to Be Passed Upon by a Jury. Ellen Sheehan’s Mother Compelled to Distribute the Sullivan Estate. SAN JOSE, CaL., March 16.— Judge Reynolds to-day set the trial of the suit of Edward Andrew Barron, the mulatto claimant to the Edward Barron estate, for May 5. By consent the case is transferred to the court of Judge Lorigan, who tried the Barron will contest. The trial will be before a jury, and the question at issue will be, *‘Has the plaintiff any heirship in the estate at all?” In reviewing the case Judge Reynolds says there can be no distribution of the estate until the will contest inaugurated by George E. Barron is settled, but that the matter can be expedited by submitting the questior: at issue to trial at the time named. The other questions involved in the case will be tried by the courtat a date yet to be fixed. J. C. McKinstry, counsel for the San Francisco Protestant Asylum, to-day filed a notice that on March 23 he would ask the court to quash and set aside the original citation issued on April 10, 1894, in the contest of Edward Barron’s will, in- augurated by George E. Barron, in which the persons interested were required to show cause why the probate of the wili should not be revoked. The ground on which the motion will be made is that the citation was never served on the officers of the San Francisco Protestant Orphan Asy- jum and that it was returned without being served. J. F. Devlin, attorney for Mary F. Bar- ron and her minor ildren‘ to-day filed an answer to the mulatto boy’s complaint, in which it is denied that Edward Barron, deceased, ever recognized the mulatto as his child and contributed to his support. st ALAMEDA SELECTED. Will Entertain the Next State Council of the Boys’ Brigade. SAN JOSE, Car., March 16.—The State Council of the Boys' Brigade to-day chose Alameda as the place for holding the next annual meeting.

If the Baron carries out his ‘intentions he will ereate a show place that people will go miles to see. The price paid was $77,000. By the terms of the deal R. B. Taylor takes in exch-nfio @ piece of property ad- 'fiining Senator Jones’ residence at Santa onica and the Baron's residence on Mag- nolia avenue in this clg. The people of South Riverside are pleased over the purchase by the Baron, especiall: as it is hoped that the fnlherp:;: th{ Baroness, Henry M. Flagler, the Standard Oil magnate, may invest some of his millions in Southern California as_he has in Florida. larly, and making pastors of churches in which com panies are organized ex-officio members of the company council. A resolution was also adopted making the California Sentinel, a_paper about to be published by General J. H. Russell, the official organ of the Boys’ Brigade. The council finished its business this afternoon nolds to-day decided the suit of Ellen Sheehan against Margaret Sullivan and others, an action involving about $80,000 worth of property, in favor of the plaintiff. The suit was brought by Ellen Sheehan, who is a daughter of Margaret Sullivan, to havea deed executed by her father, Michael Sullivan, in September, 1887, whereby he transferred alarge tract of land and $45,000 worth of personal property to his wife, de- clared a trust deed and for a distribution of her share. 3 Judge Reynolds held that the evidence showed that the deed was a trust deed, and that it was only intended that Mrs. Sulli- van should hold the property during her life, and that upon the death of Mrs. Sulli- ‘van the firo erty would revert to the es- tate of M lcgnel Sullivan, deceased, and then be distributed to his heirs. g RATE WAR TO END. Rival Steamship Companies Will Adjust Their Differences. TACOMA, WasH., March 16.—Among shipping men it is believed that the whole- sale rate-cutting between Puget Sound and San Francisco and Portland and San Francisco in steamship fares is about to cease. Itis generally understood that C. J. Smith, general manager of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, who has gone to San Francisco to remonstrate with Goodall, Perkins & Co.. general agents of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, will be able to accomplish some- thing in the way of readjusting the pres- ent demoralized rates. aregse Healdsburg Factory Closed. HEALDSBURG, CaL., March 16,—The cream tartar factery closed down to-day after a continuous run of five months, during which time 5000 tons of pomace was used in the manufacture of tartar. Before the next season opens the plant is to be materially improved and enlarged, so that all the pomace in Napa and So- noma counties can be handled. MILLWOODLANDCONTEST Boyles, Lyfords and Defenbachs Fail to Oust Casper Gardner. The “Squatter” Completes His Fence Around the Seven-Acre Tract in Dispute. MILL VALLEY, Car., March 16.—Cas- per Gardner has completed hisfence round the disputed seven-acre tract near Mill- ‘wood, on which he ‘‘squatted,” and which is claimed by the Defenbach heirs. Mean- time the arrests of prominént men and ‘women—owners of land abutting on this peculiarly located property—continue, but Gardner still holds the fort. The Defenbach heirs, claimants to the disputed land, will bring suit through their guardian, Dr. Lyford, in the Superior Court of Marin County, for possession of the seven acres, and will also sue the bonds- men of the constable who arrested the women and men who tore down the fence that Casper Gardner was erecting. The constable made the arrests without a war- rant, and the women claim .that he acted without authority. They intend to suefor damages. The constable, Eugene E. Gray, says ihat it was not necessary to have a war- rant, as the fence-destroyers constituted an unlawful assembly. The property in dispute is under water half the time because of its proximity to the marsh. The cabin_ built by Casper Gardner rests upon stilts, and the salt water flows underneath. From a stand- point of valne, the land is worth very lit- tie, but the Boyles, the Lyfords and the Defenbachs are indignant that Casper Gardner should bave ‘'squatted” upon the tract, and they intend to fight the matter to the bitter end. Justice Fothell is kept busy issuing warrants of arrest which have no effect. When the arrests are made bail is immediately put up and the women go back to pull up the fence again. SONOMA LOSES A VALUED MAN. Isaac de Turk Passes Away at His Santa Rosa Home. HAD LONG BEEN AILING. His Death a Blow to the Viti cultural Interests of the State. OWNER OF VAST VINEYARDS. He Built the Largest Winery in the World on His Guillicose Valley Ranch. SANTA ROSA, CaL., March 16.—Isaac de Turk, one of the leading vineyardists of the State, died in this city at 8 o’clock to- night, at the age of 62 yesrs. He had been in ill health for some time, and his death was not entirely unexpected. Mr. de Turk was a native of Pennsylva- nia and came to California about twenty- five years ago. Since taking up his resi- dence here ne has becn at the head of many viticultural and agricultural enter- prises. His famous winery in the Los Guiilicose Valley was long known as the largest in the world, until the late Senator Stanford caused to be built one of even more mammoth proportions. His vine- yards covered thousands of acres, and his Los Guillicose Valley home, fifteen miles east of Santa Rosa, was a popular retreat. Mr. de Turk was for years at the head of the State Viticultural Association and a member of the State Viticultural Commis- sion; was a prime mover in the orzaniza- tion of the San Francisco Board of Trade and of the similar body in Santa Rosa; was connected with the Sonoma County Horsebreeders’ Association and the Agri- cultural Fair Association, the former or- ganization being the original owner of the celebrated stallion Anteeo. He loved a good horse, and many animals bred at his ranch have established enviable records on trotting courses. One of his racers, Silas Skinner, 2:19, is known to all American turfmen. In Santa Rosa the deceased took an ac- tive interest in every movement for the town’s adyancement, and the Improve- ment Club had no more earnest member than -Isaac de Turk. In addition to his Guillicose Valley interests, M. de Turk was part owner in several vineyardsin other portions of Sonoma County. Mr. de Turk never married. Though possessed of an abundance of this worla’s goods, he was content to journey through life without a companion; but his home was ever open and his hospitality was un- bounded. The only relative he isknown to have in the State is William de Turk, a drug clerk at Petalum: Seattle Schooners Forfeited.

She said ‘‘that- it did seem strange that while Edison could look through a block of wood six inches in thickness, some peoble could not see the nose on their face,” and she marveled how people could take a remedy containing iodide of potassium, that produces pimples and irritates the stomach, when they can just as well use Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilia which is as pure as the noonday sun. These kind expressions were thrice , welcomed, for not only were the words glorious, the language eloquent, but the manner of conveying them was so kind and motherly that even her most extraordinary expressions sounded sweet and refreshing. Mrs. Clara H. Percy assured me that she did not improve in health until she returned to San Francisco and until she began taking Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. She mended from the first. Her stomach became a better digester, no pimples appeared on her face, no uneasiness was experienced, and, said she, “the medicine is so nice to take.” You can hardly call Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla a medicine because it is not nasty. Try some of the other Sarsaparillas—taste them—they make you sick at the stomach, and are quite likely to make you more sick if you continue taking them Taste Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla—you experience a gratifying sense immediately, The palate is pleased and the effects of the remedy, especially on the bowels, is remarkable. Taken in moderate quantities not the slightest bit of uneasiness can be felt. Why, there is nothing in the remedy to gripe you. Before leaving Mrs. Percy the good lady told me that she was happy to be able to recommend Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla, and, said she as a parting salutation, that she hoped the druggists aboug San Francisco would stop endeavoring to substitute a nasty nostrum for the native remedy, Joy’s Vegetable Sarsgparilia.
