CCMES TO LIFE WHILE COFFIN IS BEING BROUGHT Shasta County Citizen Postpones His Burial and Is Restored to Health. REDDING, Jan. 26.—A remarkable es- cape from being buried alive was that of O. H. Crabtree, who lives near Bart- lett. Two weeks ago/he had a severe at- tack of heart troublé and on Wednesday he apparently expired. His relatives were summoned, and preparations for his bur- ial were begun. A coffin was sent for and had almost reached the house when suddenly Crabtree sat up, opened his eyes and asked what all the fuss was about. From that time his recovery was rapid, and to-day he is fully restored to heaith. DAY, JANUARY 27, 1902. RIFLEMEN AND LEASHMEN ROOT AND GARDNER PREPARING o | EARNESTLY FOR THEIR MEETING Rival Middleweight Boxers Are Already in Splendid Physical Condition for Their Twenty-Round Bout Next Friday Night wED Lov HouseEMAN For A "STEAM . Jack Roors "FUGT NwHEN HETL """ AHoT onE " " TiPPED" Jack mooT S ON CLINCHED - tou * ousEmAan *SwWELLED UF \WHEN HE Sany Jacwe ACK ROOT and George Gardner, the rival middleweight boxers, are leav- ing nothing undone that will place them in the best of conditlon for their meeting next Friday night in Mechanics’ Pavilion. Gardner requires only light work to fit him for competition, as he fought Carter the last week in December. He has en- gaged in four important ring battles since last July. He defeated Moffatt, lost to Walcott and defeated Carter decisively twice. In Root he will face a much cley- erer boxer than Carter, and one who can hit equally hard. Gardner’s showing in his last fight with Carter was so impressive, however. that he will undoubtedly have a strong call in the betting over Root. The Lowell man looks much larger all over than Root, but when the tape measure is passed over the, latter the men are found to be almost of a size. Gardner has a longer spread of arms, but this, apparently, does not count for much, especially with these men, as they will do much of their work at close range. Both are clever infighters. Gardner will hardly do such execution at this style of fighting with Root as he did with Car- a study of protecting himself in the break- away and will be no easy mark to reach. Owing to Gardner's advanced condition, he did no work yesterday, while Root went through his various forms of exer- cise. Both men are most persistent work- ers in_the gymnasium, and if anything are Inclined to overdo matters. Root went eight miles on the road in the morning, alternating between walking, jogging and sprinting. In_the afternoon he punched the bag for long-continued periods and boxed four fast rounds with Ed Holly un- til each of their faces were flecked with bleod. Root then skipped the rope, boxed with dumbbells and punched a heavy sand bag, the latter being intended as a wrist- strengthening device. He perspired freely, much to the satisfaction of his friends. as it was an indication that he was in good physical condition. While trainins for Carter he would not perspire and did not consider himself in good condition at the time. Lou Houseman, the well-known Chicago sporting authority, who is Root's mana- ger, expressed himself as satisfied with Root's condition after seeing him go through his long gx‘osramme of work without breathing hard. “Western” Al Smith, a strong supporter of Root, was also an interested spectator. “Billy” De- laney, Champlon Jeffries’ astute manager, dropped over from Oakland for a chat with the Chicago contingent.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call. JOLIET, Mont., Jan. 26—An unusual prize fight occurred here last night before a large crowd in the largest hall in town. It was scheduled to go to afinish, but lasted only five rounds. The stake was a 3-year-old boy and the contestants were a man and his wife. The latter won. The couple were legally man and wife, but by common consent strangers except when they chanced to meet on the street after the husband had been indulging in liquor. On these occasions there invaria- bly would be a fistic encourfter. Through- out the strife the woman managed to re- main in possession of her son, to the sat- isfaction of the population. She is a hard- working, honest creature and the man is a “rounder” of the worst sort. Finally it was decided that the man and his wife should enter a ring and fight to a finish to determine which should keep the boy. The fight came off in Gilbert Hall, with a citizen as referee. The boy was locked up. in a room below the hall, ready for instant delivery to the victor. For three rounds the combat was inter- esting, with honors evenly divided. The chivairous sports of the town, however, wanted the woman to win, and between the rounds her husband was given coplous “bracers” of Jiquor. After the third round a few jolts on the chin made him groggy, and in the fifth he was knocked out. The referee officlally gave the decision and the boy to the woman. This adjustment of the trouble may not be strictly according to law, but it is safe to say that the de- cision will hold. Suicide Follows His Arrest. LONDON, Jan. 27.—According to the So- fla correspondent of the Dalily Express Dike Joseph, a politician and lawyer and the director of the newspaper Svet, com- mitted suicide after his arrest in connec- tion with a series of thefts of postage stamps from the Government printing de- partment. The thefts involve a loss to the state of $80,000. el Child Drowned in a Pool.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call. HELENA, Mont., Jan. 2.—A forty-twd pound gold nugget, worth upwards of $10,- 000, is reported to have been found in Cal- iformia Guich, one of the tributaries of the famous Alder Gulch, in Madison County. The nugget is sald to be the largest of three found at the same time by Thomas Ramon and Joseph Lefebre. Ramon deposited at the United States assay office at Helena two weeks ago a gold nugget weighing' 84.48 ounces and worth $1440. This nugget was about the size of a man’s fist and was solid gold, containing only 5 per cent waste. At the time this nugget was deposited at the as- say office a syndicate of Helena men, among them Assayer Tatem, was or- ganized to purchase the nugget and use it for exhibition at the.world’s fair at St. Louis. Although Ramon was willing to take $1350 for it, $90 less than the nugget was actually worth in gold, the syndicate did not take it, there being some question as to Ramon's title to the nugget.

OGDEN, Utah, Jan. 26.—Mayor William Glasmann is preparing to make truck gar- deners of the firemen of Ogden as soon as the spring season opens. The Mayor is of the opinion that the firemen might just as well put in their time to good advan- tage while they are waliting for con- flagrations to demand their attention, and he has_formulated a plan to keep them from idleness. The city of Ogden owns some vacant property near the heart of the city, and part of it is near the fire stations.’ The ayor says that the firemen, Instead of spending their time playing checkers and reading novels, must put in the spring and summer hoeing, planting, cultivating and harvesting. He intends to have them raise vegetables. The crops will be marketed and the proceeds will go to the city treas- he Mayor has other scheémes to kee; the firemen busy. He prop(g:ls that me?, shall look after the sanitary inspection, each crew taking a certain district in the immediate vicinity of the engine-house. Other firemen, he ~declares, shall be obliged to help out in the clerical work of the different city departments. For ex- ample, one man will look after the records of the health department, such as births, deaths and burial permits. Another scheme is designed to utilize the vacant ground on the City Hall square. The City Hall occuples the cen- ter of a big block, and the Mayor declared to-day that he would endeavor to have the vacant space leased for a period of twenty years to persons who would erect buildings upon the ground. Mayor Glasmann is sald to be framing a plan to give some additional work to the police. He is of the opinion that they constitute an idle class, and he does not intend that the police officers shall have any time to court domestics at the back doors or watch faro games. He has not et announced the details of his scheme, but he promises that he will keep them usy. Noted Pathfinder Reported Dying. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 26.—“Uncle” George Rea, the noted guide and pathfind- er, is dying in a lone cabin on Snake Riv- er.

Collier and Crowell Will Meet Smith Brothers in the Finals. The Davis cups tennis doubles tourna- ment played on the California Club courts ! vesterday resulted in some of the best handicap matches of the season. As a result of the day’s play two of the nine teams that took part are left to play in the finals. These teams are the Smith brothers and Collier and Crowell. The la}- ter played a desperate up-hill game in their semi-final match, ana with the ald of considerable luck, won. Only one match was played in the pre- liminary round, between W. B. Collier and H. W. Crowell and Drummond MacGavin and James Code. The latter received odds of “fifteen,” which were sumicient had not | all the bails been played to Code. Mac- Gavin did not handle enough to keep warm. The score was 8-6, 6-2. In the first round Will Aiien and Frank Stringham received a handicap of “half- fifteen”’ from Dick Adams and Frank | Mitchell and won in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5. The match in which Collier and Crowell beat Herbert Schmidt and Jack Gibson was one of the longest of the day. The | latter, with “thirty,” almost defeated the scratch men. The score in ravor of Collier and Crowell was 6-2, 6-8, 6-4. Sidney Salisbury and George Whipple allowed Charles” Kuehn and Leonard | Wood odds of “fifteen” and won; 6-4, 3-6, | Chet and Grant Smith gave Clyde Beal and Al Kenyon a handicap of “‘thirty, axd after losing the first set, won the next two. The score was 5-7, 6-3, 6-3. The semi-final match between Collier and Crowell and Allen Stringham was the longest and closest of the day. Allowing odds of “fifteen,” Collier and Crowell won, 6-2, 2-6, 9-7. In the last set the losers, with the score 6-5 and “forty love” in their favor, were unable to win the lone point that meant victory. | In the other half the Smith brothers had | an easy time with Whipple and Salisbury. | The liberal handicap of “half-thirty” was | allowed the latter, but they were not steady enough to win out. The score in favor of Smith and Smith was 6-1. 6-4. The finals between Collier and Crowell and Smith and Smith will be played next Sunday. The fact that these teams lead | in the race for ‘the cups, and also that they have never met before, will add to the’ interest in the match. Collier and Crowell have won the cups three times | and the Smith brothers twice. The latter will receive a handicap of "‘half-fifteen’ from their opponents, and as young Smith is playing almost as well as either of the others, the match should be close. “Pete’” Smith, Kenneth Hamilton and Frank Hooper played a round robin yes- | terday morning. Hamilton, who beat both | his opponents, won, while Smith, who beat Hooper, was second. The scores were: Smith beat Hooper, 6-4;: Hamilton beat | Smith, 6-0, and Hooper, 6-4. The 'following matches were played on the park courts: Farrell and Gunst tied, 6-0, 3-6; Edward tied Baer, 9-7, 7-9; La Garde beat Taylor, 6-1; O. Beyfuss beat A. Beyfuss, 6-3, 6-3; Irving tled Strelitz, 6-3, 3-6; Hall beat Strelitz, 6-3; Baker and Lea beat <amp and Lytton, 6-3, 6-3: Routh and Bozart beat Gardner and Mayer, 6-0. There will be a class singles tournament on the park courts next Sunday. Reports gathered by a leading news- paper show that only 441 persons in the whole Japanese empire have amassed fortunes amounting to $250,000 or over. The population is about 41,000,000.
