AETANO ALEOTO, an Italian fisher- whose home was in Vallejo, found dead in the cabin of his fishing smack near Fishermen's wharf at half-past 6 o'clock yester- day morning. Carlo Quartarra, an- other fisherman, went on board to awaken Aleoto. He found the hatch closed and the little cabin stifilng with the fumes from a small charcoal furnace used to warm the cabin. Aleoto was dead. He had lighted the fire and had closed the hatch on the evening previous for the purpose of keeping out the cold. Quar- tarra found that the fire had burned out, and so had the life of Aleoto. The dead man was ony 21 years old and ‘was unmarried. re will | The WM T MINERAL LANDS - | PUGILISTS IN TOWN. i “Cocker” Has Returned | From Australin—La Fontaine Tweedie and Tye Matched. ‘ | ; “Cocker” Tweedie, the Australian | | lightweight pugil who was defeated | at c of the Olympic Club entertain- | nents by Jimmy Lawlor, returned yes- from the land of the g en . s opportunity of proving to the i . | e oothe Association. gilistically than ma ng n S was throv 3 | be, s wnieped by 13,000,000 ACRES INVOLVED, y man of his weight in G i a limited contest or a con- | ALL NOW CLASSED AS “AGRI- signed > clever pugil of the CULTURAL.” ub of Oakland, and La Fon- | nch-Canadian figh who - | this recently box i in terday in discussing the the measure now pending in Congress, STt is th esire of the mining men of | . sald he, ‘‘that the Govern- te a commis: of competent men to classify our lands that are now in dispute and that the decision of such commission should be final.

While this bickering is going on among the officers of the law the wily Mongolian smiles. Peace reigns at present, but it is only because the highbinders are not ready to strike.
