THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1900. CHARGE OF MURDER AGAINST BERGEROT Citizens of San Jose, Because of the Tragedy, Object to the Holding of Sunday Picnics. | | i BELVEDERE COUPLE DROP COMPLETELY OUT OF SIGHT Miss Bessie Warren and Tobias J. Kelly Start in a Catboat to See Yacht Race Sunday and Have Not Returned. ELVEDERE, July 16 — Almost crazed with grief and suspense and tortured by the uncertainty of the fate of his only daughter Bessie, | Charles" A. Warren, the wealthy San Francisco contractor, scoured the river and bay from 4 o'clock this morning till | late to-night in a vain effort to find some | trace of the frail craft in which there is now every reason to believe the girl and Tobias J. Kelly, a young merchant of San Francisco, met their death during the heavy seas that prevailed off Angel Island yesterday afternoon. In the Hotel Belvedere Mrs. Charles Werren, almost prostrated with grief, is wderly cared for by friends who g to keep from her the almost certainty of her daughter's absolute death. At the time of the accident Mrs. and Miss Warren had been for two weeks | Rgople known to have seen Kelly and Miss B e e S S S S SR the guests of Miss Ilene Day, who, to- gether with Miss A. Smith, Mrs. War- ren’s sister, is now caring for the grief- stricken motber. At 6 o'clock to-night the fog rolled in thick and precluded all possibility of the search continuing before early to-morrow morning, when the launches C. MacNefll, Norwood and Jennie C. and the yawl | Kittiwake will again start out In the | hunt.

The fact that troops can now be liber- cers ated is of course explained by the mas- | sacre of all foreigners in Peking, for need no longer exists to keep large bodles of men in the capital. 3 The gravity of the situation cannot be exaggerated. Many of the generals in command in Yangtse district are Tartars and Manchus and are in full sympathy with the northern rioters. Advices from Newchwang report that serious fighting is imminent there.

It was a hurri- ond’s let up except when one of the con- testants was lying on the floor of the ring. McGovern used the tactics he said he would. He rushed in on Erne at the very beginning, and sent left and right in such | quick succession that Erne, fast as he is was nonplused. Erne undoubtedly is th cleverer of the two, but his cleverness availed him naught against the bulldog rushes and fiery attacks of the little featherweight champion. Erne of course trained far below his usual weight, as he had agreed to meet McGovern at 128 pounds, which is five pounds below the lightweight limit: In doing this many believed that the strainu would be too much for the Buffalo man, and that McGovern, who is rugged and tenacious, would surely beat him down. Many of the wise ones compared Erne’s reduction of weight to that of Joe Wal-| cott when the latter trained down some years ago to 131 pounds in order to meet Kid Lavigne in the lightweight class. Walcott made a mistake on that occasion, for Lavigne cut him to pieces. To-night Erne sald that he weighed on- ly 126% pounds, but declared that he was in excellent condition. The betting at the ringside was 100 to 60 on McGovern. Erne was in excellent condition and was as strong as ever. McGovern was at about his best fighting weight, 123 pounds, and he wi never in better condition in In_the first round, when Erne | knocked McGovern down with a blow on the head, and the little fellow took the | count before he got up, the Erne rooters | believed that their man would win. They | belleved that McGovern would lose his head from this knockdown, but they were sadly mistaken, as the result proved. and sailed right in with terrific force. He played sad havoc with Erne’s body and | sume hostilitie: | ing their man | up the sponge blows, but Terry landed three blows to Erne’s two. In clinches, which were fre- quent, both men were guilty of holding, but McGovern was the only one to be cautioned by the referee. Toward the | close of the round Terry put a hard one over Erne’s heart and a stiff right lower on the body, which weakened Erne. In the third round, which proved to be the last, Terry fought faster than ever. He was up to his man all the time, grin- ning when he got a punch as_well as when he was sending one in. When he floored Erne for the first time it looked as if the latter would not be able to re- but he rose to_his feet fairly strong and tmled to offset Me- Govern's advantage. It was a futile a:- tempt, however, as McGovern soon had him in trouble again, as he floored him once more with a blow on the jaw and left over the heart. Erne got up on his knees and rested on his right hand. With his mouth wide open he gasped for breath and tried hard to regain his feet. His mouth and nose were bleeding profusely and in addition to his struggle for wind the blood was running down his throat and partly choking him. By almost sup human efforts Erne got to his feet, he was in sore distress. It was but now evident that Erne was a beaten man and Ter: landed McGovern started in to finish him. a smash to the face which | on Erne’s nose and with a couple of blows the little fellow paved way for knockout swing, but Erne’s seconds, s i already enough, threw nd saved the Swiss boxer trom a knockout In the early betting McGovern was an even-money chance, but he w: e made a favorite at 10 to 7. When men left the ring to go to their respective dressing-rooms they were escorted by a score_of policemen, who had to fight the crowd in order to make a passage way. When Erne returned to the dressing-room it was found that his nose was badly smashed and his mouth cut, but no other marks were visible on his body. As for a ft and crossed his lead and then mixed at close range and exchanged lefts and r on head and body. Terry sent left to head Erne crossed his right to Govern, fic him.

Thirty-filve hun- dred persons saw this afternoon’s events and remained till the end, although no race was decided tiil after 6 o'clock, and the last heat of the day was trotted at 7:16.
