TWEEDIE DEFEATED | BY RUFE TURNER Referee Fox of the Opinion That the Australian Worked in a Fake. 1 STOCKTON, July 3—Rufe Turner, the who is seeking hon- lightweight class, knocked | Cocker Tweedle of Australia cold in the | elghth round of what was to have been a twenty-round fight. It was a hard fight from the very start, with Tweedie out- pointing the colored boy in boxing in every round, so that there is no doubt that the deciston would have been his had both stayed the limit. The knockout | blow was on the back of the left Juwbone and almost under the ear, and was tho | fourth swing which Turner had made at | Tweedic's Jaw, three of them being suc- | cessfully blocked. | Tiweedie turned half around and fell | with the glove still at the point of his chin, showing that he had not placed it back far enough by about five inches to catch and block the force’of the blow. | The referee, James Fox of the Reliance Club of Oakland, counted Tweedle out and declared Turner the winner. | Later, in conversation with Tnstructor | Eckert of the Stockton Athletic Club, he | declared that he thought Tweedle faked | the fall and the fight on his own part. to declare all bets off, and so it was | hoised about, but as he had left the ring when he made the second part of his de- cision bets stand. Fox declared that Tur- ner was not a party to the fake, but that at the ringside agree with Fox that there was no necessity for Tweedle going out, while others are as strongly of the opinion that the knock-out was clean and legitimate.

Specifical- 1y he charged that the money for one claim had been drawn from the treasury last April and the money had not been paid over to the firm to whom it was due until last Tuesday. Schulte declined to make public the name of the firm, but after the Trustees adjourned Lamborn supplied the information. The Clerk claims that the charges are an attempt to “knock” him because he would not stand in on certain schemes of some of the Trustees which he did not think to be square. He gives an apparently perfect explanation of the transaction upon which the charges are made. The trouble grows out of the purchase of supplies for the last city election, After the routine busi- ness of the meeting had been disposed of the Mr. Schulte dropped his bombsheil. “I wish to call the attention of board to the impairment of the city’s credit,” said the Trustee. ‘“The larger houses have been having difficulty collect- ing thelr money.

Because her husband seemed determined to go to Stockton against her wishes, Mrs. George Maxfield, residing at 535 Park ave- nue, East Oakland, attempted to commit suicide this morning by swallowing car- bolic acid. Mr. Maxfield had been ordered by his employers in San Francisco to make a hurried business trip to Stockton, and when he advised his wife of his intentlon to comply she protested and grew hyster- jeal. She immediately secured a small bottle of carbolic acid, and before her husband could intercede she had swal- lowed enough of the deadly poison to make her unconscious. Dr. Dodge was promptly summoned, and after two hours of hard work Mrs. Max- | field was resuscitated® When she regained consciousness and realized what she had done she expressed her regrets and was glad that her life had been saved. Mrs. Maxfleld was formerly Miss Stella She is 18 years of age and be- came -the wife of George Maxfleld less than a year ago.

The railroad | people have stood out for separate bridges, claiming that it would work a reat hardship if they were forced to ove their tracks to the site of the pro- posed combination bridge, and besides that, it would be dangerous to allow horses and railroad trains to travel over the same structure. When this argument was being used the railrcad_had but one track crossing lhe‘} canal. Now it has two widely separated, and it proposes to force the Government to build bridges for both or leave the tidal | canal in its present unfinished condition. | The second track which has sprung into; prominence in the last few days has not | | been in use for ten years. It was lost sight of in a luxuriant growth of weeds. Rust has left little of the ralls, and the el Mt have disposed of most of the road- | bed. ck runs from what used to! tation to High street, and part of the original Alamed County Rail- road, built and operated by the late A.

No pass are carried. The train starts from !)u-i he same where and apparently goes to t place. It comes over from Oakland every afternoon a little past 3 o’clock, and after } Zoing through the formality of running over the old track continues on through | ‘Alameda. This has been going on for | several days, and it is stated it will con- | tinue as long as Mr. Huntington has an | object in view. The track crosses the line | of the canal about 300 yard: t of ths track that has been regularly used. announced that the ~Southern Company will claim that the old tr: | nec ry in the conduct of its bu inaes | and will insist that the Government bulld | a bridge for it when the canal is cut through.
