LEIBERT JR., a l4-year- old pupil in Crocker Grammar School, is the hero of his class- mates. He is also the envied of i the majority of sportsmen who | tramped the Marin County foothills in ! quest of deef on the opening day of the season. Master Leibert accompanied his father, who is an attache of the Auditor’s office, and Dan Ostrander, a well known sports- man, on a hunting expedition. Mr. Os- trander spent several months in Marin ! County and had marked for his own a lordly buck which he had seen at a cer- tain point repeatedly before the season opened. When the hunting party went afield Master Leibert was stationed where he ~would not be subjected to any hardships in the nature of mountain climbing. His ! elders had left him but a short time when out of the underbrush walked a fine buck. The youthful nimrod was equal to the occasfon and a bullet from the 22- caliber rifle he carried soon made the prize his own. It was with mingled feelings of pride and chagrin his father and Mr. Ostran- der assisted in bringing in'the deer. Mrs. Lelbert has had the head handsomely mounted and will keep it as a trophy to commemorate the prowess of her first | orn. Colonel J. J. Tobin, grandfather of the youthful sportsman, is highly elated over the clever marksmanship displayed by his | grandson. o o e o ] GOLF EXPERTS ~ IN'COMPETITION (Mrs. R.

When Referee Eddie Smith placed his hand on the winner the loser was stag- | gering around the ring dazed and unable | to maintain his guard. Three times dur- ing the bout Thurston was saved from defeat by the timely tap of the gong. In the third round Gibbs landed a trip- hammer right on the solar plexus . that caused Thurston to drop and double up like a scissors. Nine seconds had been counted off when the gong announced the close of the round. Thurston was haul- ed to his chair by his seconds and re- cuperated rapidly. Again in the fifth round the gong rang as Gibbs was beat- ing his opponent down to what seemed a certain knockout. Trurston’s seconds climbed under the ropes in the seventh round when their man was being chased and hammered from one corner to another by the colored boy and wanted to toss up the sponge, but Referee Smith ordered them out of the ring and instructed the fighters to keep at it. Both men were then strong and unmarked. Gibbs was too clever for Thurston, and the latter landed but a few blows, and these did not worry the recipient percep- tibly. Gibbs played for his opponent’s stomach, gnd wore him out with heavy body punches. In the prellminaries Bobby Johnson and Jockey Bennett fought eight rounds to a Graw. Frank George was awarded the decision over Jack Kane in a ten-round bout. The attendance was large. g L BOXER CLIFFORD IS COMING.

The Supreme Tribunal of the Knights of Pythias has been abolished, that is, the one that will be handed down in Fythian history as the court of last re- sort in the famous Hinsey and Kennedy trials, and a new tribunal ordered con- structed by the Supreme Chancellor of the order. This was the principal legisla- ticn enacted at the session of the Su- preme Lodge yesterday morning. tention has been rife among the repre-| sentatives of the Supreme Lodge for a | lcng time over the personnel of the tribu- nal and it is partly on that account that the reconstruction is to take place. Here- tofore the tribunal has been composed of five members, but under the new statute there will be but three judges. A _resolution_aimed at the prosecutors of Hinsey and Kennedy was introduced at yesterday's session. It proposed amend the supreme statutes so that a memter, having been charged with an offence and having had a trial before his own lcdge and acquitted, could not be Lrought before the higher courts of the order for the same offense. After a de-| bate lasting several hours the resolution was lost by a vote of 69 to 43. The afternoon session was devoted to legisiative action’upon a large number of unimportant resolutions. The committee on mileage and per diem was ordered to prepare a report for adoption at the ses- sion to be held this morning. The appropriation for the biennial budget, amounting to $128,250 and cover- ing the expenses of the Supreme Lodge, was adopted. A special statute empow- ering the Board of Control of the Endow- | ment Rank to make additional invest- ments in the Lexington Hotel property at Chicago for the purpose of protecting the securities already held was enacted. The Supreme Chancellor announced the following appointments to the Supreme Tribunal, which were confirmed: John H. Alexander of Virginia, Tully Scott of Colorado and F. Hilscher of Minnesota. The evening session was devoted ex- clusively to the consideration of a re- vision of the ritualistic work of the Su- preme Lodge and of the order. It was in ihe nature of a secret convention. The business of the Supreme Lodge will be completed at the session this morn- ing.

INOFFENSIVE Luonxi IS WANTONLY MURDERED William Hammond in Xern’s Jail for a Crime Committed at Tehachapi. BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 19.—One of the most brutal murders ever committed in Tehachapi district was that of an inof- fensive Italian pamed Francisco, particu- lars of which seached here to-day. The killing took place on Sunday night and the murderer is now in the County Jail in_this city, Willlam Hammognd and his companion, ‘William Taylor, had been drinking and taking 'in the tenderloin district. At a dance hall they met two Italian laborers employed at Vance’s lime kiln. When the two Italians went out, conversing in their own language, Hammond and Tay- lor followed them. The two drunken men imagined that the foreigners were talk- ing about them, and commenced abusing them. Hammond drew his pistol and fired five shots at Francisco, two of which took effect. Francisco’s right elbow was shattered by one bullet and the other en- tered his right side, causing death. The other Italian fled and escaped uninjured.
