A Real Fight in the Chamion’s Training Quarters Near Carson. NEVADA TO OFFER A SILVER BELT. Will Add a Trophy to Its Sanction of Contests in the Ropad Arena. CARSON, Nev., Feb. beaped upon Nevada because of the enact- ment of the boxing bill has not haa the effect of causing the Sagebrush State to yegret what it has done. The fact of the matter is Nevada intends to jump into the sporting world with both fest, so to speak. Not only it is going to sanction the big vhysical cultu'e contest for the world’s pugilistic championshbip, Lut there is a movement now on foot to give'the winner of the heavy-weizht contest a belt made The abuse entirely. of Nevada silver emblematic of | d to and of the | the title the v or isentit fact that the champions Nevada. i will mince no_more worde. the story ina nutshell: islature is now in session. Assemblyman Timothy Dempsey, who, by the way,1s one of the most popular members of that body and one of the most ardent sup- porters of the boxing bill, is going to ir troduce a bil! .in the Legislature withjn the next few days asking for an. appropr ation of $3000 for. the purpose of having made a gorgeous belf of silver, with dia- mond studding, to be presented to either Corbett or Fitzsimmons, whichever chances to be wirner of the great battle. The bill is being drawn up at the - pres- ent time, and it provides' that the Secre- tary of State shall deliver the belt on the 18th of March, along with a certificate and affidavit notifying the world of the sigrifi- was’ won in Here is The Nevada Leg- | not promise- that it will be exclusive, either, as I will not be ashamed to have the whole world know what I do.” I learned this afternoon of a littlé inci- dent that will. no doubt greatly interest the friends of Jim Corbett. It appears | that since the arrival of Jeifries, the Los | Angeles giant, who is to act as one of Cor- | bett’s eparring partriers, both he and the | big San Franciscan have been somewhut | shy of eacii other. Jeifries is a savage | fighter and has taken seriously Corbétt’s | command that in their practice work he lay on as thongh he meant it. Inconse- | | quence James ‘J. has had to do his level | best to keep from getting into trouble with the. youngster, and their collisions -have been the rarest of treats. This alternoon Corbett and Jeffries went over (o the handball court for a quiet little go, and denied admission to the usual crowd of viutors. This bout was a ‘‘corker,” and. it was attended with a sen- sational finish. Corbett, remembering his experience yesterday with the Los Angeles Goliah, sailed in to make a spectacular al- fair of it, and bie succeeded. Straight lefts were exchanged after about five minutes of dancing and shifting and | then they clinched. In the breakaway Corbett caught Jeffries with a beautiful clip on the right ear. .This riled" the lad from.the citrus belt and he dashed into Corbett Jike a tiger, He landed with kis left full on the champion’s forehead and sent-him with a crash against the side of the building. Corbett was forthie moment | dazed, but he shook himsélf together in time to slip away from Jeffries &s the latter came in again. Then Jeffries found out what it was to monkey with the buzz-saw. .He followed the Iad with the pompadour out-into-the center of the court.and essayed "to throw | in another left similaf - to_the one which { sent the champion against the wail. This | time Jim was on the alert, He ducked | the biow, and, quick as a flash;- skot hiy | right_out for a cross-counter. - The.blow | cauglit Jeffries flush on the jaw and in: | stantly his eyes rolled" and he rank to his | knees. He was curling npon the floor | when Corbett and Trainer Charley Wkite ran to his assistance and ‘got him to his | feer. The young fellow reécovered in about three minutes and confessed that he had been in a trance. - 2 | Then they went at it again, with Jeffries | more savage than ever, probably feeling that he had a score to wipe cut. He| hustled Corbett around in".great shape until the Jatter for self-protection, let fly a.| hook that connected” with -the Los An- geles athlete’s chin and sent him reeling away. “‘That’s the second stemwinder,” said Jeffries when he had got his wits | back again, ‘'so you ought to be satistied for the day.” “You are all right, my boy,” said Cor- bett, patting his trainer on ihe back; *‘you | gave me the greatest crowding I ever had | |in my life. You have notsing to be | ashamed of. 1am proud of you and pro- | | pose to see you go away. up the ladder.” | | All was quiet and. rest out at the Fitz- | simmons camp to-day. The Cornishman did not work at all, it being his custom to lay off on the Sabbath. .He did not go to | church, however, and in this respect Cor- bett had the best of him. Jim came into town_early in the morning - with his | brother Joe 2nd William A. Brady and at- | tended the services at the Carson Catholic | chazeh. | Forthe first timesinceall the fighters | glory or disgrace, and they have agreed to abide by his interpretation of the rules under which they will contest. Governor Sadler and Sheriff Kinney have been quietly gathering about them trusted deputies who are placed on tbe pay roll as fast uas their_services are re- quired. The tax-payersare not grumbling over the additional’ burden thus placed upon them, and the householders dispense la‘ch keys with reckless liberality and un- bounded confidence in their guests. F¥rom the half-completed plans of ‘the arena now on exhibition, 1200 tickets have already been soid, and a number of sec- tions yet remain untouched. These sections will be reserved for special excursion parties from the East and- elsewhere which have already be- spoken accommodations. Ring patrons in distant cities thus stand an equal show of getting seats.with-those who are near the ground.. , E i Visitors “are beginning to shed their overshoes. The roads are a.little deep with mud, but the sandy loam rapidly absorbs the water, and bicycles are being oiled for service. Quarters were reserved to-day for John L. Sullivan, who will describe tne fight for the ‘New York World; Wyatt Earp, who his a similar_engagement; and Professor Donaldson, Corbetts old sparring partner and warm friend, I weigh 165 pounds stripped,” declared Corbett this afternoon. *‘That is the lightest I have been since I entered the professional ranks. The boys say they will put a few more pounds on my frame, bur I hardly think I need them. "1f Fitz is as light as they claim I don’t believe I ought to pack around any more flesh than is necessary.” - - ; The Cornishman posed for visitors oc- casionally to-doy, but kept to his room most of ‘the.time and caught upon his correspondence. He did -just enough work to relax his- muscles. Whén joked about Lis olnck eye he smiled and mum- | bied out something to the effect that even boxers needed alittle encouragement ROw and then, and it was not his style to re- strain his sparring variners and make monkeys out of them that the public might think nobody could hit him “Man mustlearn to take blows.as well as to give them,” was his fogic. *‘Corbett won’t allow any of his men to Jay a glove on him for fear peopls might think he is not. the marvel iie believes nimself. T'll show him that he can' be hit just like the rest of us when we get togetner.’” - Women Hill Be Admitted. CARSON, Nev., Feb. 28—Dan Stuart has decided thar women shall be ad- mitted to all of the glove contests held under ‘his direction. In an announce- ment to the press to-day he states that | women will be comfortably provided for and protected from anything bordering on ruffianism. DESERTED- FROM VANCOUVER, Soldiers af the Barracks Belisve That ‘Murderer Butler Once Lived . Among Them. VANCOUVER, Wasi, Feb. 28.—The many stories concerning the identity and record of Frank Butler, alias Ashe, alias Newman, the alleged Australian mur- derer, have been read with particular in- terest by a few citizens of this place who were here during the eighties, when -the | Twenty-first Infantry was stationed ati Vancouver. barracks. It is believed by them, from the descriptions given of But- ler, that he spent a few months during 1883 at Vancouver barracks as a member | of the Twenty-first Infantry band under the nameof James Hartdnd then deserted. Michael Boyhan ol this place is of the belief that Butler and Hart are the same person. He says that, as nearly as he can recoliect, Hart came and enlisted as a cor- cance of the trophy. [: is intended 10 | have gone into training I drove out to Em. | net player in the band in September, 1883. have on the belt-a reproduction of the offi- cial seal of Nevada and a fac-simile of Governor Sadler's signature to and -ap- proval of the measure. “I have been thinking this matter over for several days,’ said Representative Dempsey, during aconversation this after- noon, “‘and I am now satisfied that no more fitting and appropriate thing could be done by the State of Nevada than to follow up its sanction of boxing by pre- senting the winner of the big battle with a belt, an official recognition of the title he has won. Itis my intention to ask for an sppropriation sufficiently large to turn otit a belt that the real champion of the world will not be ashamed of—something he can exhibit all over the wor The State of Neyada hes gone into this affair «ith its eyes wide: open and realizing just what she isdoing. We have no fear that we will corrupt the morals of the rest of the world. “The effete East has jbeen tolerating glove contests under the title of physical culture contests for years and is doing so to-day. In Nevada we have prohibitea exhibitions of this kind for a Jong time, but we finally woke up to the fact that we were not only shutting ourselves eut of many financial advantages enjoyéd by the Eastern States, but were depriving our | citizens of the pleasure of enjoying a class | of sport that they most dasired. But now, when we open our gates, we are abused and ridiculed by the very States that pre- tend not to tolerate boxing, but permit the bloodiest battles on the continent. “We intend to be open and above board. ‘We not only intend to sanction boxing contests outright, but we will foster them to the extent of presenting an official championship belt, emblematic of the world’s championship, to the winner of the Corbett - Fitzsimmons contest. The bill calling for the necessary sppropria- tion is now being drawn up and’I am to introduce it ‘myself. I have been talking to the members of both brancues of the Legisiature and they approve of my project in every particular. 4 “There is n6-quesiion ‘about the bill passing. In fact, I really expect to see an amendent introduced ‘which will- change my bill s0 as to provide world’s champion- ship belts for the winners of each of the three batties which are to be fouzhi on March 16 and 17. As I understand it, Dan Stuart has announced that the winner of the Green-Smith contest will be pro- claimed the champion welter-weight of the world, and that either Hawkins or Flah- erty will be beralded as the champion feather-weight. Of course, everybody knows that the fight- between Corbett and Fitzslmmons is for the title of champion of all champions. I would approve of an amendment of this kind and vote for it; but I consider that by introducing a bill to provide a belt for the conqueror of the big contest I am doing well enough for a starter.”’ It is understood that, in addition to a majority of the members of the Legisla- ture signifying their willingness to vote for the bill, Governor Sadler has already riven his consent to sign the act if it passes. The Governor will not admit this to outsiders, giving as an explanation that he never signs a bill of any kind until he | has seen and read it througnh thoroughly; but in his usua! characteristic and droll manner he says he aporoves of the idea of a Nevada champion: “Why not?” echoed the Governor when Ispoke to bim this afternoon, “Nevada approves of the world's championship contest, and why should we not present the winner with something which he can show to the world as proof that the title belongs to kim? Now I hope you will excuse me from talking too much on the subject at this early period, for I have pot seen the bill as yet, neither do Lknow that such a measure will ‘be passed. In the event that it is presented to me, however, I will give you an interview, and 1 wiu‘ | pire to-day to see how George Green and | Dal Hawkins were getting along in their | preparatory work for their mills respec- tively with ‘“Mysterious” Billy Smith and Martin Flaherty. My candid opinion is that they have picked out far better train- | ing quarters than have either Corbett or | Fitzsimmons. They are located at the Wiggins roadside house, and have the use of a farge dance hall for a gymnasium, a i steam bath and fine roads for outdoor | 'work. More. than this the Carson River ripples along vast the place scarce 100 yards away, and this affords them an op- portunity for swimming and boating. The | latter are advantages that neitlier Corbett | nor Fitzsimmons enjoys. Green is in | magnificent shape. He was weighed in my presence to-day and tipped the beam, | stripped, at just-147 pounds. He says he | expects to go into the ring weighing about 145 or 146. i “I realize that I have a big contract on my Lands,” saia Georze, as he stopped for a moment’s breath during his bag-punch- | ing exercise. "*It is not that I have any | apprebension of Smith’s ability to whip | me, but because I know him to be one of | tne foulest fighters that ever got into a | ring. If ne is hit hard he grabs bis op- | ponent around the legs and begins to blows. I don’t think he means to do it, but he loses his | head when he is struck and conducts him- | self like a wild steer. | “Ifeel thatit will bs a savage fight, but | Lintend to win. [ propose to give him a | dose of his own medicine. I don’t want | to fight foul, but L'll give him the rough- | est reception ke ever ot in the ring.” Hawkins 1s looking well, too. He weighed 130 pounds this afternoon, and 'was as strong as a little lion.. Under the articfes of agreement he must mest Flah- erty at 128 pounds, so he has only two poundas to-reduce. He and Green put up some rattling bouts togethei and contin- ually try to “do” each other. “Spider” Kelly, who is acting as Haw: kins’ chief trainer has not had the gloves on as yet with Green, but they bave an engagement to mect to-morrow morning. These lads are-a little shy of each other. They once fought for blood and Green won, thus putting himself in direct line for the welter-weight championship. | Keily has been going up the ladder, too, bis latest .and most important achieve- ment being the aefeat of Lon Agnew, the phenomenal Eastern boxer. It is quite natural therefore that these two ‘lads should be a litile delicate about getting at each other again with their respective feelings o! envy, but they have shaken hands and agreed to work together until | the 17th of Marcn. After that, should Green beat 8mith, Kelly will challenge | the San Franciscan, and the latier has promised to accept right off the reel. Dan Stuart did not leave Carson for San Francisco this evening, as was expected. He was strong enough to walk around his room, but bis physiciansadvised him that it would be dancerous for him to venture out, so his trip had to be postponed until Tuesday. J. G.

CARSON, Nev., Feb. 28.—The close of the month finds the preparations for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight and other contests of less magnitude well in hand. All monetary arrangements are complete and satisfactory. The princi- pals have demonstrated that they are fit 10 battle for their lives even now. Stuart’s mammoth coliseum is half finished and the weather has moderated sufficiently to please everybody.

A little later.it was noticed that Hartap- peared to become yneasy and to be suspi- cious of every oneé about him, and it came to be the generil belief that the rumors had reached his ears. g Under these citcumstance$ Hart’s sud- den disappearance on the evening of the second payday after his enlistment created no surprise among ‘those who knew him, and only confirmed them in their belief in the desertion story. According to Boyhan’s story; Hart spent a year or so in and. about Sprague, Wash., afier his-desertion from the Tiwen- ty-first-Infantry. There he was employed as a musician in'a private theater.- Hart was in this city a few hours one day in theé latter part of 1894 or early in 1895, and inquired for Boyhan, but did not see 0. After that he was lost traceof here. He is supposed' to have béen on hjs way to San Francisco at thattime, . Boyhan says that the descriptions given of Batler taliy perfectly with Hart as he remembers him. SN e IDAHO'S LEGISLATIKE SCANDAL. Witness Beard Justifies Regarding the Buying of Voles for Senator- Elect Hertfeld. ‘BOISE, Ipawo; Feb. 28.—The committee appointed by the Legislature to 1nvesti- gate the'charges of bribery against Senator Heitfeld, sits’behind closed doors and although it has examined a number of witnesses, it is difficult to ascertain what has been discovered. W.J. Beard was regarded as the most important witness, and he testified that he overheard a con- versation to the cff2ct that Representative Perkins had $15,000 to buy votes for Heitfeld, and he afterward heard that Perkins haa paid Representative Joines $150 and that Representative Fuller bad also pai¢ Joines money for his vote, The witness said he taxed Joines with having received the money and Joines at first denied it, butv afterward admitted that such was the case. That was long before Joines made the affidayvit declaring that he had been paid money for his vote, [t was elicited that Heitfeld knew of the | charges before he left for Washington and that Governor Steunenberg had shown him Joines’ affidavit. Representa- tive Fuiler, who accompanied Heitfeld to Washington as private secretary, has been ielegraphed to by his friends here to come back and face the charges. ‘The defense is proceeding on the theory that Joines was bribed to make the atfi- davit, and evidence is being collected o present to the committee, tending to show that Joines.approached different members of the Legislature, saying there was money in it for them if they would make affidavit that they were bribed to vote for Heitfeld. £ it e San Diego Nominees.

Brandeth, who called at the police station alittle over a month ago and asked to be locked up while suffering from the de- lirium tremens, was discharged from the City Prison yesterday morning thor- oughly curea of the drink habit. Bran- deth had resolved to kill himself, but at the {ast moment he listened to the advice of a friend, and asked the police to pro- tect him from self-viclence. He was charged with drunkenness and given a thirty-day sentence by Judge Goss. While in jail he was treated by the City Pnysi- cian, nd when he wae released yesterday morning he announced that he was cured and would never touch liquor again. Brandeth: claims to be the son of a Sing Sing, N. Y., millionaire. Heis a typical prodigal son and has been around the world seven times. He came to Califor- nia-about six months ago from Japan. At that time he had jewelry and money in plenty, but after a few months’ dissipa- tion in San Francisco these were gone. It was when he was penniless'that he .came to San Jose and resolved to kill himself. Brandeth is bright and intelligent, and during his stay in jail Chief of Police Kid- ward became interested in him. Yester- day Chief Kidward procured for him a position at one of th:e hotels. e BEIRAYED BY A CONFEDERATE. John Kelly Arrested for Muli- la'ing Show- Windows. SAN JOSE, Car., Feb. 23.—John Kelly, avagrant, who mutilated six large show- windows in Hale's store on Bouth Second street with a diamond last August, was arrested at Mountain View yesterday by Constable Martin. He was brought to the County Jail by Deputy Sheriff Black late last night and wiil probably be prosecuted on a more serious charge, as it is beliaved he had a hand in some of the burglaries perpetrated lately. : At the time the windows were cut in Hale's store Frank Osborne, another vagrant, was with Kelly. A few days afterward Osburne surrendered to the police, confessed the offense and pleaded guilty to a charge of malicious mischief. He was sentenced to 180 days in the County Jail. At the time he told the police he had a partuer, but gave no defi- nite description of him. Osborne’s term expired Monday, and on his release he met Kelly. The men en- tered into a plan to enter Kocher’s jew- elry-store on So Flrv. treet Thursiay night. On Thursday f&iternoou the men were drinking tozether and got into a fizht, in which Osborne received a terrible beating. He then went to Deputy Sheriff ‘Black and_‘‘squealed” about Kelly being implicated in the mutitation of Hale's window and the plan to rob Kocher's store. Fagrant e FINE FRUIT EXHIRITS.

Austrian Fedestrian Who Iatends to Visit All- the Countries of the Earth. - SALINAS, Car., Feb. 28.—A bona fide 'globe-trotter is here for a time and is an object of considerable curiosity and inter- est to those who frequent the Bardin House, where he is staying. William John Thaler is not a globe-trotter in the customary meaning of the phrase—that is, one who circles the sphere by the utilization of steam or by riding or driv- ing the various animals of burden in the countries he visits, He is walking over the worid. His itinerary is rather unique, for he intends circling each of the grand divisions of land upon the globe, and will take ship only in going irom one conti- nent to another. Thaler isa native of Trieste, Austria, and appears {0 be about 40 Jears of age. He is over 6 feet tall, and his atbleiic build bespeaks the thorough pedestrian. He is by profession an electrician, but once, while working upon a line in Mon- treal, Canada, he fell from a scaffolding and sustainel severe injuries, fracturing his skull and losing the sight of one eye. This necessitated his abandoninz his elec- trical career, and he conceived the idea of walking around the world in his own pe- culiar way. He mapped out his course, which will cover 33,322 miles, allowing himself seven years to complete the journey, and started from Montreal on May 13, 1895. Thus far he has traveied about 7000 miles in s more or less direct line irom his starting point and has consumed one vear and t.n months of the allotted time. He keeps a careful record of the incidents of this tour in a little journal he carrias with him, and has already obtained 1500 signatures in the book, which are written in twenty-two different languages. ° A notable feature of (his stuge of the journey is his trip across the Nevada ‘Wadsworth, Nev., he fired _his revolver to celebrate the fact that he Lad crossed the desert. From here he will go to Los An- zeles, thence to old Mexico, back to Texas and New Orleans, and then through the Southern States up the Atlantic coast to New York, where he will board a steamar for Europe. His route will then take him throurh Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand and then back to Portlana, Or. He expects to attend the world’s expo- sition in Faris in 1900. Thaler finds no u.fficulty in getting all the necessities and many comforts, even though he started without a penny and will not take money from any one he meets en rcute. He says everyone seems glad to supply him with food and lodging for the privilege of signing their names in his book. He wears a silver badge on his vest, upon which engraved in French and Englisb, “William John Thaler started from Montreal, Canada, to go around the world on_foot May 18, 1895. Presented by J. N. Lapres, artist, 360 Denis street, Montreal.”” He says the hobos he meets often take him for a de- tective because of the badge. Thaler speaks four languages and thinks these vl be amply sufficient for his needs dur- ing the journey. e DROWNED NEAR TILLAMOOK. Three Boys in a Rowboat Borne by the Tide Into Breakers Off the Bar. TILLAMOOK, O=., Feb. 27.—A shocking catastrophe occurred here to-aay, whereby three boys—Ernest Barnard, aged 15; Cecil Miller, aged 16, and George Leasia, aged 16—lost their lives. . In a spirit of boyish bravado the youths determined to go out in a small boat and meet the steamer Chilkat coming over the bar: The tide was much stronger than the boys snpposed and they were carried ‘rapidly out and into the breakers, where their boat was upset and the three were drowned. . & *‘The boat was inside the bar, and uear the shore, and the boys were clinging to it and screaming at the top of their voices for help,” said Captain Dunham of the steamer. I whistled the signal of dis- tress to draw the attention of some one on shore and then turned the ship about and went as near to the shore as I dared and Iuwered one of my boats, By this time the breakers had washied two of the boys off, and I saw no more of them. There was a very strong current out, and the largest boy continued to cling to the boat and drifted out of the breakers. *‘Then the stcamer Elmore arrived at the bar on her way out. I told the cap- tain what had happened and be 1mmedi- ately crossed the bar and steamed about, hunting for the boys and especially for the one clinging to the boat, but he did not find any of them. I recrossed the bar to the océan and looked about, but being unable to lind either of the boys I steamed off southward, the direction in which I thought the boy clinging to the boat had drifted. After going about halta mile [ sighted the boy on the boat abouta quar- ter of a mile further south. I steamed on toward him as rapidly as possible, but when about 300 feet away from him an unusuaily large wave upset the boat. The boy threw up his hands ‘and sank anda I saw him no more.” L ——— BUTCHER BOY A SPEEDY HOUND. Wins From Handspring in the Coursing Final at Sacramento, With Paderewski Third.
