Victim Sinks to His Death Before Lifeboat Can Reach Him. Special Dispatch to The Call. PORT TOWNSEND, April L—After a tempestuous voyage, during which she lost an apprentice boy by falling over- board and at the expiration of which she found that her valuable charter had been canceled, the British ship Whittlieburn, Captain Bartlett, arrived here to-day, 124 days from Table Bay. The Whittlieburn sailed from Ta#ble Bay on November 23 and everything went well until December 12, when Charles Oliver Hardy, an appren- tice and the 18-year-old son of a wealthy Engilish family residing at Yorkshire, feil from the foreyard into the sea. Therc was a moderate breeze and the sea was comparatively calm. The ship was put about and a boat lowered, but rescue was impossible. For several days before the accident a large number of albatross had been fiy- ing after the vessel. . As soon as Hardy struck the water the birds attacked him and caused his death. He was an expert swimmer and only a few minutes elapsed after he struck the water before a life- boat was on the spot, but he had gone to | the bottom. RUNAWAY BOY COMES HOME AFTER SIX YEARS Adventurous San Jose Youth Makes a Trip Around the Globe. SAN JOSE, April 1.—After. an absence of six years Percy Smith, who ran away from his home when 15 years old, has re- turned. His relatives. had believed him dead. After two years he was heard from in South Africa, and then all trace of him was lost until he walked in upon his fam- ily yesterday. Six years ago Smith tired of school life and decided to see the wosld. Leaving here in March, 1895, he went to San Fran- cisco and shipped on a vessel to South After several months in the Transvaal he shipped for Adelaide, South Australia. He mined there and in New South Wales and thence went to Manila. Smith left Manila in February for Seattle and then came home. Three times in this | trip around the world Smith was on ves- sels that had been given up as lost. A singular incident in connection with Smith's return was his recognition by a kitten he had when he left home a‘boy. Although six years had passed the cat ran down the walk to greet him and | seemed wild with joy at meeting its old master. —_——— Recent Boxer Outrages. VICTORIA, B.

Says He Is Pursued by Man Whom He Wounded Years Ago. Speclal Dispateh to The Call. REDDING, April lL—Justice of the Peace Herzinger of this city relates a tale of a man whd¥either is mentally affected, although he appears perfectly rational, or is, as he claims, the intended victim of an avenger, who has relentlessly followed him for fifteen years, and whom he asks the Judge to put under heavy bonds to keep the peace. s The man gives the name of Smith. He says-that in Kansas fifteen years ago he shot Jacob Adams in self-defense and was acquitted by a2 jury. He came to Califor- nia. Soon he learned that Adams had re- covered and was on his trail, swearing vengeance. He moved from place to place and succeeded in evading his pursuer for many years. Finally he went into Trinity Count and _thought he had =lost his enemy. Recently he learned that Adams was in Trinity after him. He came to Redding. He was astounded, he says, to see his persistent follower om the street. He says Adams was disguised, but that he recognized him, Smith feels that he .cannot stand. the strain much longer, and he wants his pur- guer put upon his good behavior. Judge Herzinger was forced to refuse the re- quest of the frightened man. ———— OTTO FEUDNER A WINNER AT THE PIGEON TRATS Three Californian Wing Shots Xill Twelve Straight at the Kansas City Tournament. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 1—There were 419 entries in the nitro-powder han- dicap in the Grand American live bird tournament to-day.

Californian Forwards His Ul- timatum to Eastern ' Organization. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, April 1.—Bob Fitzsim- mons and his manager, Percy Williams, met representatives of the Charleston Athletic Club to-day. The Australian practically accepted the offer to hold the battle between himself and Jeffries in Charleston.” John C. Jounod and John McLaughlin of Charleston, representing” both club and exposition, made the fol- lowing offer: Seventy-five per cent of the gross re- ceipts, with a guarantee that Fitzsim- mons’ and Jeffries’ share will be not less than $26,000, this amount to be deposited in any bank the boxers may select one ‘week before the bout. The bout is to take place.between May 15 and June 1, with the probable date May 80. The fight is to be decided in the after- noon and the boxers are to have all picture privileges. Jeffries and Fitzsim- mons are to provide any referee they may choose. The club will pay him $500. Jouncd and McLaughlin posted §3000 to- day to show the foregoing proposition is made in good faith. Fitzsimmons wired the Century Athletic Club of Los An- geles asking if they wpuld raise their bid for the battle. If théy refuse Fitzsim- mons accepts_. the Charleston Athletic Club’s offer. Jeffries was also wired ask- ing for his decision in the matter. S ANGELES, April 1.—Joseph Egan this evening sent a telegram to New York on behalf of Champion Jim Jeffries stating the conditions under which the Charleston offer will be accepted. Jeffries stipulates that the Charleston club shail post the entire purse of $26,000 in cash in the hands of a stakeholder t6 be mutually agreed upon. In the event of the Charles- ton club failing to bring off the fight be- cause of interference by the authoritics or otherwise Jeffries insists that the $26,- 000 shall be forfeited to the fighters. Should the Charleston people fail to meet these conditions the champlon wishes to know at once whether the offer of the Los Angeles club will be accepted by Fitzsimmons, as it is understood the club is still in the fleld willing to handle the fight. Late to-night the Century Club tele- graphed to Robert Fitzsimmons an en- tirely new bid for the Jeffries-Fitzsim- mons championship battle, as follows: LOS ANGELES, Aoril 1.—To Robert- Fitz- simmons, New York: We bid‘faithfully on March 15 as per agreement with contestants and won. Since you have postponed bids until this date we submit the following: Will give 77 per cent of gross receipts, or purse of thirty thousand dollars, or 75 per cent with guarantee of twenty-five thousand dollars per your request. This is final. _Answer. CENTURY ATHLETIC CLUB. As this is far better than any other bid thus far submitted, it is asserted by the club officials that if Fitzsimmons refuses to come to terms it is because he does not want to fight. LOS ANGELES, April 1.—The Century Club met here to-night and offered a thirty thousand dollar purse or 77 per cent of the gross receipts, or 75 per cent of the gross receipts with a guarantee of $25,000. Since Fitz postponed final acceptance +* HILE the track ‘at Oakland was sloppy yesterday, it was in no'way responsible for the downfall of the three favor- ites .that weré toppled over. Axminster was badly messed about b his rider, Flick; Hagerdon had to cry quits through being raced to a s ter Jeanie, and Quadra met e in the closing race. The star long-shot performer turned up in Mike v's colt Sir Tom Tiddler, which regis- tered first at odds of 30 to 1, after having numerous occasions in the past. With a number of horses scratched from the opening seven-furlong seliing event, School for Scandal closed a 2 to 5 favorite. The mare outciassed her com- pany -and won off by herself. Away poorly, Marineuse got up in ample time to beat Onyx out for the place. Because of the sloppy footing, the price against W. O'B. Macdonough’s Or- monde filly Honiton went back from 3 to $ to 11 to 10. Ransch had the leg up, and she led from the start, scoring in hollow a 6 to 1 chot. The Forum made a good ruh from. the rear division, taking the show from Es- garola. Sir Tom Tiddler, a 30 to 1 shot, piloted by Larry Daly, captured the five and a half furlong run from-a bunch of nine cheap platers. He was praetically un- backed, and won all the way. Flick, on Axminster, the favorite, lodged a_ claim of foul against the winrer, which wa not allowed by the judges. ran third behind Axminster. Lee Jackson scored his only win of the afternoon on Larry Wilt in the mile sell- ing event. The brown colt closedl equal favorite with Black Dick, and, after 1ac- ing Satan into submission, went on and won by a couple of lengths at the wire. Both Black Dick and Silver Fizz were away from the barrier poorly and had @ world of lost ground to make up. In a hard drive the former horse got the place by a neck. There were six starters in the Shattuck Handicap at seven furlongs, with Hager- don, the top weight, going to the post {avorite. Walter Jennings did not think his fllly Sister Jeanie would take to the juicy going, and this fact kept many from backing her. She fooled them. by going out, with Winslette on her back, and, after racing the favorite off his legs, beat Constellator a length. The last named starter was 15 to 1 in the 1ing. Neither Sweet Tooth nor Varro showed to any advantage, though both reccived support. Quadra, a ninety-one pounder, pilcted by “Bill” Knapp, had first call in the betting on the last race. The filly chased out in front with Free Lance until when within a furlong of the stand both were all out. Ransch then dropped along with Ei Mido, downing Quadra less than a length without any great effort. Free Lance was third. Track Notes. - J. Ransch’ seems to have struck his winning gait ggain, for he rode in excel- lent form yesterday, landing three win- ners. Bookmaker Caesar Young encouraged the good work already begun yesterday by giving $250 for a “Milroy Day” single admission ticket.

ANGLERS FOR WILY TROUT ENJOY SPLENDID SPORT ON OPENING DAY Paper Mill Creek, Marin County, Yields the - Greatest Returns in the History of the Stream, Furnishing Many Full Creels APER MILL CREEK, from Point Reyes to Lagunitas, afforded sen- sational sport to a large number of anglers vesterday, the opening day of the trout fishing season. One hundred and fifty men each caught from thirty to 172 trout, weighing from a quarter of a pounfl to ten pounds for steéelheads. Many half-pound fish were taken. Each angler returned with a full basket, and the comment in every direction was to the effect that it is many years since a’ season opened so brilliantly. Rain fell in torrents _throughout the morning, but it neither dampened the ar- dor of the anglers nor impaired the sport. The majority of the men were on the stream before the rain set in and braved out the storm, returning to luncheon dripping wet, but with well filled creels. The afternoon cleared up and the an- glers sallied forth under the bluest of blue skies, flecked here and there with a dash of white. The stream remained clear and the sport was not injured in the slightest. It was the consensus of opinion among the men familiar with the stream that there were moré trout there than in many years. Three steelheads, weighing nearly ten pounds each, werg taken from the ‘White House pool, one by H. Battu, an- other by a friend of his and the third by M. J. Geary. The majority of the anglers used a small spoon, Wilson or Lafarge spinner or Wi s, the famillar “barnyard hackle.” Some flies, the brown hackle and midgets were used_successfully near Point Reyes by C. R. Kenniff and others. Leon Jessu day, 172 trout. One weighed six pounds, while a twenty-four inch fish weighed four pounds. Jessu fished the Paper Mill from Tocaloma to the schoolhouse and back. p T. C. Kierulff took eighty-five from the creek near Camp Taylor. He wis fishing toward a pool, where he knew from indi- cations he would get good returns, when it commenced to rain heavily. He sought shelter under a tree and, much to his cha- grin, another angler came along . and pulled trout out of the pool he had in view until he grew tired of the pastime. Mr. Kierulff could not “cut in” again without violating angling ethics. T. Rothschild caught 65, W. Stevens 65 and R. Haas 35, all good sized fish. dd the star basket of the | A. T. Dobson secured 50, F. Kaiser 3§, S. F. Murphy 20, including a big one. L. 8. Peterson }\ad‘TB{ while M. C. Post d out a_cheice lot. m(cleNFA Breidenstein, Charles Precht and Bert Spring each had full creels. Up at Point Reyes H. C. Wyman and wife, John Butler, Frank Marcus, Jeff Wells, H. Battu, J. B. Kenniff, C. B. Ken- niff, Raiph Briggs, M. J. Geary, W. J. Savage of Ohio and Louls Bouteiller each secured from forty, to fifty fish during the heavy rain of the morfing. They were all out again in the afterncon and were, it anything, more successful. They were so enamored of the sport that the majority of them remained over to try again to- ay. “Shorty” Briggs, who is nearly six and a half feet tall, was out in all the rain and was wet through. When he returned to the hotel John Gallagher and others furnished him a complete outfit. Any Howard-street tailor would lose all his | customers if he sent Briggs out with such tight-fitting garments as those in which he appeared. When it came to shoes the | resources of the house were exhausted and Briggs had to walt until his own dried out. The afternoon found him down at the sand spit, near the bridge, as en- thusiastic as ever. For a time he posed as the champion “hard mouth” or | “sucker’’ catcher. He landed six of these useless fish in aimost as many minutes, when his luck changed and the trout came his way. It was just like shooting them the way Jeft Wells took them out of the riffles be- tween the bridge and the te House pool. At the latter place seven ten-pound steelheads were hooked, but only three were landed. The others made off with a variety of tackle, Battu alone losing three fish. Frank Maskey passed Point Reyes yes+ terday en route to Salmon Creek. On the previous day Achille Roos, Sam Heller and Dave Sachs went on to the Gualala, where they will try for steelheads for sev~ eral days. ‘When the anglers who were so fortunate as to be out on the opening day commence to circulate among their friends and tell them what they accomplished and what they saw there will be many acute cases of angling fever developed throughout the city. There is only one treatment will allay the disease—a day on some near! trout stream. It is expectes turday will witness an exodus of anglers, who will scatter over Marin, Alameda and Santa Cruz counties. L e o o ] ] HOME-SEEKERS RAGE FOR LAND San Jacinto Reserve Is Thrown Open to Settlers. LOS ANGELES, April 1.—The San Ja- cinto forest reserve land in Riverside County was opened to entry at 9 o'clock this morning. But seven claimants ap- peared at the land office in this city, and these had been waliting for two weeks. At midnight, or nine hours previous to the hour named in the proclamation, a crowd of men in wagons, on horseback and on foot made a wild rush on the land from the reservation borders, Those who registered at the loeal land officer also had “rushers” at the reservation. It is expected that when the land office opens to-morrow morning the ‘‘sooners’ will arrive, prepared to flle upon lands where they squatted early to-day. This procedure will bring on the real contest for the land. B Stanford Athletes to Travel. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April 1.— A fleld day has been arranged by Captain McCaughern of the varsity track team to take place between the Occidental College athletes and a team picked from the two Stanford underclass teams. The meet will be held at Santa Monifa April 12. Preparations are being made for the varsity track team to take a trip through Oregon and Washington. It is probable Stanford will meet Washington at Seattle on May 2. A field day will also be ar- ranged with Pacific Cfenlverslt and with the University of gon. ’ghe varsity nine will meet the San Francisco League ball tossers for the second time on Thurs. day. The last game was a walkover for the leaguers, As the varsity men have haq little practice since then the professionals should score an easy victory.
