10 FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 1897 FICATERS MOUST 60 IN 70 TIN A Draw Not a Contest Under Judge Belcher's Decision. Betters Can Recover Their Money if the Contract Is Not Completed. Sporting Men Contend That It Does Not Affect Wagers Made on the Rounds. The decision banded down by Judge Belcher on the Corbett-W erner case con- cerning the right of betters to recover moneys wagerea on fights which result in draws, is agitating the sporting fraternity, as far as round betting is concerned. = The general opinion is, and the rule has been, that where a glove contest results in a draw, the better shall recover the money placed on the result minus the percentage taken by the pool-sellers for handling the | money. Now they ask the question, will the decition also cover bets made on the number of rounds? Where two parties have signed to meet for a limited number oi rounds the biggest betting usually done, is whether or not the fizht will be won by either party inside of the number of it of the contest. The majority of betting men questioned uphbold Judge Belcher’s decision concern- ing the contests which may result in draws, but are of tke opinion tbat the im- voriant matter governing round wagers bss been overlooked, which may result in misunderstandin ¢ generally work a hardship on the sporting public who may win on the number of rounds and yet lose the bet under the decision of the court if the fight finally should be called a draw by the referee. J. Boyd, acting tor Mr. Corbett, who is at the present time in Sacramento, said: “As a general rule a case of this kind is thrown out of court; but as long as a de- c:<ion has been 1endered on Mr. Corbett’s demurrer to the Werner comupiaint, I am as anxious to see the resuit of the trial, which will go on when the answer is amended, 8s anv one else. We have al- wvs returned: ail moner, excepting percentage. to betters where :iie fight re- sulis in & draw, but In thiscase the money was returned to Werner through an authorized agent, who placed the money for Werner at the tme of the Sharkey- laher fight. This w1l all come out at trial, and I am of the opinion thatthe e :eral decision of the Judge w1l not con- with the decision of the demurrer to i A list of rules is placed in of betiers, and we are gov- ely by the decision of tue e a party makes a wager the general of a contest, which results in a draw, he is most assuredly entitled to the smount of his wager, but where a party places money on a certain number of rounds and the fight w on pasies that number the party loses his wager. It would be unjust for him to be allowed to draw down ins money, if the contest was a draw, merely because it has been decided tiata draw fizht 1s no con- test. The record is kept as such, and we must abide by thet and pay pools accord- ing to the decision of the ree.

A Movemoot That atemplates provement Throughout the ntire State. im- The executive committee of the Gooa Roads League met vesterday at the rooms of the State Board of Trade. 16 Post street, and discussed matters looking to the im- provement of roads sli over the State. The desire is to thoroughly organ- the league all over the coast, so that when the next Legisiature meets the Lody will be in a position to secure legisia- tion. favorabie to the desired ends. One of the first things to be done is to.prepare an address setting forth whatis desired to be accomplished and this address will be sent o persons who will be the most likely to give the matier serious consideration. J. Vassauit of Oukiand was selected to pre pare tue address. A committee consisting of R. M. Weich, A. P. Sianton and Charies A. Adams of San Francisco was selected to communi- cate with fifteen or twenty advocates of good roads 1n various partsof the State with the view of raising money. There was considerable discussion as to the best methods of verfecting organiza- tion. However, all thought the best plan was to create county bodies, with county organizers and then a State bodv with a State organizer and when possible hold a State convention. A resolution was passed favoring the United States Government building a fine wagon-road . into tie Yosemite Valley. This is for the purpose 0. shutting off the scheme of the ownersof the private toll- roads from selling their poorly-made earih roads to the Government for an ex- orbiiant sum of money. . GOLD IN OALIZORNIA, Fred C. Burnett Fetches Some Sumples of Ore From Fresno. Mr. Fred C. Burpett, who represents the King Alfred Consolidated Mining Com- vany of Mount Goddard, Fresno County, arrived here this morning and is stopping at 1406 Prospect street, Alameda. Mr. Burnett says that there is no neces- sity of any one going to the Kiondike for geld, as there 1s plenty of 1t in Calitornia and particularly in Fresno County. He represents nine separate claims with a company of six and tbree on outside ciaims. The country 1n the vicinity of these mines is well timbered and water is plentitui, although at this time of the year the snow lies in drifts forty feet deep.

Mrs. Mary Ann Calvert was frightfully | burned yesterday afternoon in her home, 324 Jessie street, and the probability is that she will die. | She started to light the fire in the | kitchen stove shortly after 1 o’clock to | cook the dinner. She packasd in a piece of | paper partly saturated with coal oil, put some kindling wood on tom, lit the paper and then took a small can containing coal oil and began pouring the oil on the | wood. There.was an explosion, and in an instant Mrs. Calverts tluffy hair and | her dress were on fire. The force of the | explosiun blew the bottom out of the can. | She ran screaming into her bedroom, | adjoining the kitchen, and beat her hands against her burning hair and dress. Tuen she ran back to the kitchen, turned on the faucet at the sink and allowed the | water to pour over her burning head and neck. Henry C. Logan, who lives next door, heard her screams, and looking in the di- rection of her house aw smoke issuing | > from the rear door. He jumped the fence and rushed inside. The bedroom had | caught fire from Mrs. Calvert's burning dress, and Logan soon stamped out the | flames. He ran inio the kiichen and was | horrified to see Mrs. Calvert in flames, | with her head buried in the sink. | He lifted her in his arms and carried ber into the yard and threw mats and anything elso that bhe counid get hold of nupon her to stifle the flames. He rar to the front and yelled for heip. Tom Sewell, a neighbor, got a hose and extingnished a fire that had started in the kitchen, and a lady who lives opposite procured some molasses and flour and used it 1n reliev- ing Mrs. Calvert's pain. Dr. J. D. Hay was in the neighborhood and seeing the crowd that had gathered in iront of the house went to see what was | the matter. Assoon as he saw Mrs. Cal- | vert he rang for the ambulance and had her removed to the Receiving Hospital. Dr. Bunnell found that she was severely burned on the head, face, eyes, neck, chest, arms and lege; in fact her body was a massof burns. He did everyth ng he could for her. but expressed the ovinion that she would not live. Her bhusband, James Calvert, who Is a | cook in Johuaon’s restaurant, on Mont- gomery sireet, was notified and he hur- ried to the hospital. He was aeeply af- fected when he saw his wife, and she added to his grief by saying with diffi- caity, *Jim, dear, my only prayer is that | I mignt be able to Jook in vour tace acain before I die; you have been so guod to me.” He promised not to leave bLer and sent, at her requesi, ior a clergyman of the Episcopal church. The couple were married in this City about five years ago sand two children were born io them, but both are dead. She is 36 years of age and a native of Wilt- shire, England.

A clear head is absolutely necessary and the least illness often seriously affects the correct performance of my work. For instance, I at one time suffered from a stomach trouble brought on, I suppose, by eating cold lunches hastily, as is necessary with me, and I finally felt that the. trouble would break me up. You know a disordered stomach is invariably the root of any head trouble and of all things 2 stenogn her’s head must be clear. T finally found an effective remedy in RIPANS TABULES which I saw advertised in our paper. They are magical in their effects,"and, by the way, did you ever see anything of the sort put up in such superb shape? I have found that theyseem torectify nearly every ill, for several of my friends have taken my prescription of a Tabule now and then with results for which they have heartily thanked me. The dull, heavy headaches I sometimes had are all gone now.
