4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1897. GOVERNOR SADLER WILL SURELY SIGN Glove-Contest Bill Passes the Legislature of Nevada. Opposition of Ministers Killed by Speedy Action of the Senate. Carson Is Jubilant and Assumss ‘a Busy Air—Work to B:gin on the Big Pavilion. , Jan in tbe Senate chamber ntest bill was placed on rning. It was gener- ally believed t before that the bill was doomed, but members who had been clerk’s des tide was tur patches were heavy taxpayers. There was a sce e of suppressed excite- ment as the roll was called and when two doubtful wkheeled in line the vote stood 9 to 6 and the news spread rap- men were was hardly a dissenting T becom the bill. in the m their flocks. While they were thus engaged the President of the Senate had hsmmered the desk with his- gavel and announced the passage of the bill. The parsons, who were about to spring theic petition on the Senate, were met by the crowd coming out announcing that the measure was passed. They made an attempt to get it recon- sidered, but could find no one to make the motion, and to-night the bill is being enrolled for the Governor’s signature. The Governor is a hard-headed German, who bhas no Puritanical ideas on tie proposition. He believes that the matches if properly conducted will bring thousands of people to Nevada who otherwise would | not come, and they will be brougnt in contact with the great natural resources of the Staté, Besides this, nine-tenths of the people of Nevada are in favor of the bill, and there is no doubt that he wilt" sign it to-morrow. The bill calls for $1000 to be paid by the managers for each fight, that if there is to be any fi be properly handled. It also the Cheap John fighters who have become a nuisance in Nevada. Up to to-day there has been a stringent law here against pugilistic encounters, but it has never been enforced and no Grand Jury ever pays the slightest at tion to its violators. W. K. Wheelock, the agent of evening that he had no authority from Mr. Stuart to say where the fight would come off; Mr. Stuart weas the proper per- son to make the announcement. There is no doubt, however, that the fight will come off at the Carson racetrack at the time set and.in & pavilion that will hold at least 15,000 people. Already the San Francisco sporting men are telegraphing for accommodations at the hotels, and it is régarded in San Fran- cisco that the matter is now definitely settled. Another good feature to them is the certainty of no interference, which enables those who to see the great- est contest of the pastquarter of a cen- tury to make their plans. To-day telegrams were pouring in from all over the United States from newspa- pers hungry for news of the affair. The plans for the big pavilion aie expected bere in afew days and every idle man hereabout will be put to work. e e e dng DAN STUART TALKS. Pleased With the dction of Nevada and States His Plans. DALLAS, Texas, Jan. 28.—Dan Stuart to-night informed the correspondent of the United Associated Presses thatCorbett and Fitzsimmons will fight in Nevada on March 17. Mr. Stuart said: “I am gratified at the liberal shown toward athletic sports by the Leg islature and Governor of Nevada. It ha not originally been my intention to have Corbett ang Fitzsimmons meet in thatState after signing them for a second time; but things have so shaped themselves that Nevada is the most desirable location in sight. I shall start for Nevada within the next four or five days, to devote my time to the details of making the battleas céss as a high-class sporting event. 1 shall try to get one more first-class attraction for the 17th of Mareh, and pre- fer Peter Maher to be one of the partici pants. I shall intrust the making of this match to Al Smith, who knows all the men of the country worth mentioning. “The railroad -companies will meet in San Francisco to-morrow to arrange the transportation end of the fight. As to the selection of the town where the tistic car- nival will take place I shall be governed by the public’s convenience and my best business interests.” e TEN ROUNGS AND A DRAW.

Exc, Jan. 28.—The match between Dick Burge and Eddie Connolly, formerly of St. Jobn, New Brunswick, and later of Boston, for £1000 a side, took place before the Oiympic Sporting Club here to-night, and resulted in a draw.

Burge fought at 143 rounds and Con- nolly at138. During the afternoon Burge was a strong favorite in the betiing, the odds on him being 2 to 1. Goode, Hyams, Cook and Howe were in Burge’s corner, and Kelly, Rose, Brierley and Finley acted as seconds tor Connolly. The fighting was very fierce from the start. Connolly led in, the hitting, start- ing off at a terrible pace, but was stopped 23.—There was | Dan | ¢ Stuart, stated to THE CALL reporter this | repeatedly by blows on the face. After five rounds, in which the exchanges were about even, Burge landed a crushing blow on Connolly’s neck, knocking him down. The latter, bowever, was on his feet again in eight seconds, and Burge was just g2ing | in to finish the fight when time was called. Connolly recovered with marvelous rapidity from the effects of the blow which had come so near knocking him out, and in the next round be had Burge groggs. The spectators were wild with excite- ment when they saw the favorite in this condition. At the end of the ninth round both men were weak, but game. In the midale of the tenth round the management declined to allow the fight to proceed further, and | the referee then stopped the fight and an- ced it a draw. - COURSING A1 SACEAMENTO.

Clubhouses, Observatories, Boulevards and Landscape Gardening 400 Feet Above the Ocean. SAN DIEGO, CAL, Jan. 28.—The reports sent out from this city last night of a Vanderbilt project to build a railroad from Salt Lake to this city and also foreshadow- ing steamship connections are absolutely without foundation. As outlined in these dispatches Edward P. Rambo of S8an Francisco purchased 120 acres of land at Point Loma for patk pur- poses. In connection with C. A. Griscom Jr. of New York Mr. Rambo has been here for two weeks in the interest of a score of New York capitalists, who will themselves be here February 10 for the pur- vose of laying the cornerstone of a mag- nificent stone clubhouse to be erected on the tract purchased by Rambo, 1o cost ,000.

Next week the building of & frame clubhouse, 120x200 feet, to cost §12,000, will bgin. It is intended to spend upward of $150,000 in the improvements, making this one of the finest private parks in America. The land fronts the ocean, is 400 feet above sea level, and is an ideal place as regards picturescue surroundings. One mile distant stands an old lizhthouse, be- sides which the park commands views of the ocean, the bay, mountains and fifty milesof country inland.

Class Teams Elect Their Respective Cap- tains—Engineering Clubs to Arrange a Match. STANFORD UN1VERSITY, CAL, Jan. —At the !ast meeting of the student body athletic committee a vote of thanks was tendered th> University Club of San Francisco for their interest in the local affairs of the two universities. The latest indication of their kindly feeling was ghe presentation of a silver cup for intercol- legiste competition. The baseball team which wins the championship for two successive years will be given the capasa sonvenir of the event. With the exception of the freshman class the baseball men have elecied tbeir Tespective captains for the coming season, The seniors chose H. Hazzard, a well- known baseball enthusiast, although he has never been an aspirant for Varsity bonors. A. 8. Jeffs will captain the junior team. He has played on_the Varsity baseball as well as on the football team every year since his entrance to the university. Louis Kreeman, the tennis champion, Wi | marshal tie sophomore team. It is thought that the juniors and fresh- men will put out the sirongest nines this year. A baseba!l game will probably be ar- ranged between thé civil and either the mechanical or electrical engineers this year. At tbe last meeting of tue civil engineers club A. H. Toll was elected baseball .capgain. He was instructed to challenge the other two engineering clubs. el IMPORTANT LAND DECISION. A Timber Patent on the Parry Mining Property Obtained by False Representations. CHICO, CAL., Jan. 28.—One of the most important land cases that has been tried in the Superior Court for years was yes- terday decided by Jydge John Gray, after a nine days’ legal battle between the parties to the action—M. L. Merry and George Parry, plaintiffs, and Lincoln Brodt, defendant—in an action to quiet title to the property known as the Parry mine. The plaintiffs have been working the ground for a number of years, hold- ing it by virtue of location and by deed from locarors and having expended the sum of $22,000 for machinery and labor. TUpon applying for a patent the plaintiffs were surprised to find that the defendant had received a timber patent to the said land, whereupon they brought the action to quiet title, Judge Gray decided in favor of the plaintiffs, adjudging that the defendant held the real estate subject to said action as trustee for plaintiffs and that he be re- quired within ten days after the decree is entered by good and valid deed to con- vey to plaintiffs all his interest in and to said property subject to said action. Colonel Park Henshaw and Richard ‘White were attorneys for the plaintiffs, This case has occasioned much interest in mining circles all over the State, as the defendant has been indicted by the Fed- eral Grand Jury for swearing falsely to obtain the timber patent. st DIEGO AS A TERMINTUS, Une End of the Pacific Cable Will Be Located Here, BAN DIEGO, CaAr, Jan. 28.—[t was given out this afternoon that Edward Rambo, and C. A. Griscom of New York, who purchased 120 acres of land in Point Loma last week and leit here Monday, were advance representatives of the Pacific Cable Company of New York, Which proposes to lay a cable from San Diego to Yokohama via Honolulu. Plans are now in the architect’s hands here, for the erection of a big stone building on the point, to be used as the American terminus of the cable. Surveyors went over the Point to-day. The site selected commands a grand view of the mountains and ocean. - The hydro- graphic survey made four years ago shows that the land falls away very rapidly from the shore leaving little surf and no cur- rents. A private wire to-day says that Griscom has gone to Honolulu to secure land there for a cable station. A subsidy proposition is now before Congress. Fuil particulars will be known in a few days. SAN S THE BLIGHTING CIGAREITE, Interesting Developments in Rosa’s High School, SANTA ROSA, CaL., Jan. 28.—A very strong argument against the use of cigarettes was brought to light in the Santa Rosa High School to-day. Pro- fessor Cox, while engaged in marking the standings of the young men in his de- partment, found that those who indulged in cigarettes did not stand well 1n their classes. Itis the custom to mark those who average well with a capital “E,” which signifies excellgnce, and a careful canvass of the cigarette-smokers of the entire school reveals the astounding fact that not one of the tobacco-users has the ““E” after his name, As the boys of the High School are familiar with the stand- ing of each of their fellows, as well as their habits in the smoking line, the moral will be easily d!:wn and a falling off in trade may be looked for by the tobacco-venders of this city. Santa gl BAN RAFAEL ARREST, Young John Kellly Held for Attempted Highway Kobbery. BAN RAFAEL, Jan. 28.—A second man believed to have been one of A. B.

The officer is confident that he has sufficient proof to prove the serious charge. Reilly was taken befors Justice Gardner, who fixed his bail at $4000, and set the preliminary examina- tion for to-morrow.

Sensational Evidence of Two of His Accomplices in the Dastardly Crime. Murder Wou'd Have Been Committed but for the Interf:remce of One f Them. REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Jan. 28, —After a tnal lasting two days, a jury late yes- terday afternoon rendered a verdict of guilty of burglary in the first degree sgainst Asa O. Boyce. During the prog- ress of the trial evidence was produced which showed that the crime committed was one of the most ourageous and despicable ever committed in this county. Though the crime for which the defendant was tried was technically that of burglary, yet the testimony showed it to be one of burglary, arcon, and, but for the inter- ference of one of the parties implicated, one that might have be- n murder. Three parties were implicated in the commission of the dged, cne of whom turned State’s evidence and the other pleaded guilty. Both of the latter took the stand against the defendant and minutely described every step in the dia- bolical plot. Boyce, who is 64 years of age and who has served one term in San Quentin, lives in the mountainous Alpine District in this county, where he has a homestead claim on 160 acres of Govern- ment land. His neighbors are few and far between, one of whom is Frank Shumet, an old Frenchman, who has a claim which immediately adjoins his own. Another of his neighbors is one Baptista Bordi. On the 18th day ot December, 1896, Shu- met was living alone in the Bordi house, an eight-reom cottage. What occurred on that night appeared in evidence on the trial and is best told by these iwo boys, by name Green and Tann, who were im- plicated in the erime. Tann, whbo had worked with defendant about three years 2go on the latter's place, and Green came from Boulder Creekon the 18th of Decem- ber last to the cabin of defendant, where they arrived about 8 o'clock in the morn- in-. Tann was greeted by the old man with a “Hello, I thought you were huneg long ego.” He asked the boys if they were looking for work and told them that if they were he nad a job for them. The job referred to was the commission of this offense for which probably all three will spend some time in durance vile. During the day their plans wers dis. cussed and firearms cleaned and loaded for the work they proposed to do that night. What those plans were is best told by what actually took place as testified to by the boys. Between 7and 8 o'clock, they testified, the three left the house and started for the Bordi house, in which Shemet was living, distant about a mile and half, and where they arrived between 9 and 10 o’clock. Tann, who had black- «ned his face in order to conceal his iden- tity, went to the door of the cottage and knockea, while Boyceand Green concealed themselves within sight of the door, the former having a shotgun loaded with slugs. Shumet, who was in bed, responded to the knock, and as soon as he opened the door was confronted with a loaded re- volver and told to throw up his hands, which he did without further urging, He asked what was wanted and said he did not have much, but if money or plunder was what was desired they were welcome to what he had. To this Tann replied that he #as not after money, but that he was going to burn up the house. Tann then made the old man come out and called Green ana told him to geta rope and tie the old man’s hands behind him. After doing so and blindfolding him they led him to a well close by, where he was made to lie down. Taun then said to him: *“You— I am going to kill you and throw you in this well. Do you want to pray ?” To this Green objected and perhaps saved the old maun’s life. Boyce and Green then went into the house and stripped it of almost everything portable, while Tann led the Frenchman away about 200 yards, where he tied him to a tree. After ransacking the house it was sat on fire. They then returned to whe the old man was and removed the blind, inviting him to enjo; leaving it was sugges rope around the old man’s neck just tight enough to strangle him by slow degrees, but here the better instincts of one of the trio prevailed and they merely tied him as thev supposed secarely and left him. He remained in_this position some two hours, when he finally worked the ropes on his arms loose and liberated himselr. Saturday morning he notified the officers by telepbone of what had taken place, and accused these three parties of the acts, On the following Wednesday the Sheriff visited the Boyce cabin and made & thor- ough search for the stolen goods, but none were found. Green and Tann were on that day arrested. On Friday the officers again visited the place and found Boyce at home alone. They again made search and found in and about the cabin and brush immediately surrounding the same many articles taken from Shumet, all of which he positively identified as his own. Informations were filed against all three, and the result of the trial of Boyce hi ready been seen. Another and sep- arate charge, that of arson, still remains 10 be disposed of, but it is thought that on account of the conviction on the burglary charge, and considering the age of the old man, it will not be pressed. He will be sentenced to-morrow. BIGAMIST SMITH CAPTURED. Found by Constable Gross of Pacific Grove Living Quite Happily With Wife No. 2. PACIFIC GROVE, Oav, Jan, 28 —~Word was received here to-night that Constable E. B. Gross had captured T M the man wanted in thls ity for d his wife. They will arrive to-morraw from Los Angeles, where Gross and Sheriff Landell captured Smith. Thue story of Smith’s desertion was not known to his first wife until her visit to this city some few months ago. She then learned that Smith bad been here and brought with him Mrs. Smith No, 2. The friends of the first Mrs. Smith when the second lady arrived supposed that he had been divorced. Smith and his first wife lived in this city & few years ago, but, un- fortunately, he became infatuated with another woman and the two eloped to the south, going overland in a buggy. They purchased a small ranch near Santa Ana and wqfls to housekeeping on a small scale, where thay have lived ever since. The pair were soon located and Con- stable Gross went down south Tuesday morning and, together with Deputy Sher- iff hn‘ell. proceeded out to the Smith they arrived there they < found Skith plowing in the field. They soon lolghim whnat was wanted, but he flatly denled the charge, claiming he was innocent. | When the bluff would not work be asked the officers two days in which to w;nd up his business affairs, but he could not be allowed this time and is now oa his way to this city to an- swer to the charge of aduitery. Mrs. Smith No. 2. remains on the ranch. When the fuii facts in this case can be brougnt to light it will undoubtedly ve out of the ordinery line of scandals, as all parties are of prominence and the parti- cipants’ history iy interesting. pith Wromnivhisy LOS ANGELES DAMAGE SUIT. An 0dd Case in Which the Puliman Com- pany Is Sued for the Value of Stolen Clothing. LOS ANGELES, Cax., Jan. 28.—The trial of the damave suit of Cbaries E. Anthony vs. The Pullman Palace Car Company begun this morning before Superior Judge Allen and a jury. The case is quite an odd one, and, al- though the damages ssked for are only $275, there are a gocd many nice points involved, and the company is resisting the suit with great energy. The circumstances of the case were that on~the night of November 13, 1394, the plaintiff and his son were passengers i Pullman car of the Southern California Railroad Company. During the night in question the cloth- ing of the son was stolen while he vas asleep, so that when he reached Los An- geles, in the language of the complainy, “the said son was whollv without c.othing. and practically naked” and the father was “compelled to take his said son out of the said car without suflicient clothing to present a dscent, reputable appearance, and with insufficient clotbing to protect bim from the inclemency of the season.” Itis alleged that the boy wes injured by the exposure and was put to shame, con- tumely and reproach, the amount ot dam- age being estimated at $200. This, with the value of tbe clothing stolen, makes the amount $275 for which judgment is asked. e EEIN'S 30NS KUY THE FAIK.

LOS ANGELES, CaL., Jan. 238.—Rands- burg society is said to be greatly shocked. Society ia that lively mining camp is ex- clusive and intensely sensitive, and when social etiquette is disregarded by a mem- ber of the smart set there isthe greatest commotion. An event has occurred that has created a sensation not only in upper circles, but all along the line, Ttie'said that Bdwara Reddy, young, gifted, handsome and & great beau, has eloped with a Mrs. Everett, the belle of Randsburg. That's why Eandsburg so- ciety is all torn up. It is further reported that the couple had_between them several thousand dollars. The woman in the c: it is said, is the wife of a miner, and the couple had lived together comparatively happy until handsome young Reddy ap- peared, and then the husband appeared in the wife's eyes very plain, uncouth and ignorant. But society is often hasty and it is just possible that Mr. Keddy's and Mrs, Ever- ett’s disappearance are not equivalent to an elopement by any manner of means. Young Reddy isa nephew of Hon. Pat- riek Reday, the well-known San Francisco attorney. b THE UNEMPLOXED PROBLEM. Park Commissioners Suggest a Method of Relieving Distress.

A Man Who S:w Wootton Drivs Away From H:s Ranch With the D.f:ndant FRESNO, CAL., Jan. 28.—To-day was a bad day for Professor W. A. Eander'p in his trial before a jury in Judge Wn‘;b 's court for forging William Wootton's name. Some very damaging testimony was intro- duced against him. Robert Anderson, who had beea a cell- mate of the aefendant, testified regarding the alleged attempt Professor Sanders had made to get hiza to find two witnesses to give fatiicated test mony. The defense succeeded in proving the unenviable char- acter of the witness, but the fabricated which was written by Sanders for the two testimony witnesses to make affidavit to was introduced and corroborated Ander- son’s testimony. The handwriting in this case is unquestionably that of Sanders. The other witness examined during the day was Cbarles Rohloff, who was work- ing at Wootton’'s ranch when he dis- appeared. Rohloff saw the aged rancher drive away from bis home with the de- fendant, since which no trace of. Wootton has ever been found. The witness’ testi- mony pointed seriously to the guilt of Sanders. The attorneys were more careful yester- day to have the witnesses speak loud so that their answers could be beard by J. M. Rose, the juror who is partially deaf. A. R. Anderson testified that he is at present living in Los Angeles. While he was confined in the County Jail here, pena- ing his trial for stabbing a man at Kings- burg, he had been a cellmate of Professor Sanders. They had several conversations regarding bis (Sanders’) case, the profes- sor having broached the subject first. The witness had offered the defendant no inducements to get him to make any state- ments. Anderson said that the defendant wanied him to get two witnesses to testify for him. Sanders wrote out some papers— siatements the two witnesses were to make. The witness was to take these and go to Los Angeles and employ two men who wounld swear to them. Whatever Anderson should agree to pay these two men would be satisfactory to 8anders, who was to bear all cost and expenses. The smount it was estimated, would range from $500 to $1000. District Attorney Snow then read the statements which Sanders bad intended for fabricated testimony. The witnesses were to swear ip substance that they had seen- Wootton in Los Angeles and also at the Midwinter Fair in San Francisco after he disappeared from his ranch. At both plac:s he was accompanied by the “‘myth- ical” John Knauseh and R. L. Graves. HERE ARE MANY MEN WHO now and then suffer from nervous twitching of the eye and other paris When the facial nerves twitch there is certain to be an irritation at their centers in the brain. These facial nerves origi- nate in the brain and end in the muscles of the face. It is then true that these twitchings show a decline of the nerve force of man. This deciine will give a lack of nerve life, and may develop into nervous debility and then into nervous prostration. The nerves of a man are delicate and he should indeed be very careful not to barass them, not to abuse them, not to gnarl or knot them. It is those who subject tiie nerves to these fear- ful strains that bring on nervous debility and melancholia. American men live rapid lives; they do everything overmuch. They rob the body of blood in their ex- cesses and their indulgences. They are never content to live in moderation, and the result is, and it is a pity, too, pre- meaturity. Prematurity shows decay, and decay means, of course, decline of power. When you are in this condition the abso- lute cure is the great “HUDYAN'' cure. “HUDYAN” cures nervous debility, ner- vous prostration, melancholia and sper- matorrhea. If you are suffering consult the physicians of the Hudson Medical In- stitute. If you cannot come to their fif teen offices write for circulars and testi- monials. BLOOD POISON.
