The mob| worked its way into the jail as far as the steel doors by breaking down the‘ wooden doors, but were met with a stern refusal by the jallkeepers to turn | over the prisoner, and finally gave up. | When apprebended the murderer gave his name as Lawrence Leberg. Many believe him to be insane. | { e | CLAIM STRIKE 1S BROKEN SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. 26.—Local | Southern Pacific officials claim that the | Brotherhood of Firemen's strike on this | division of this system is broken, that all freigth and passenger trains are | | moving along with full crews and that they have more firemen than they have engineers.

It is difficult to make persons interested in boxing un- derstand that Gans walks around when out of training weighing about 136 pounds. The impregsion Is allowed to go abroad that he 1s a welterweight, and this always creates a lot of talk when he has to go In at the lightweight limit.

Gans boxed fifteen fast rounds with Kid Sims, his speedy featherweight boxing partner, and with Lew Powell. Among his| guests were Miss Constance Crawley, | the actress, and the members of her| company. Gans Is to witness their per-| formance of “The Taming of the Shrew" tomorrow night. Miss Crawley has ar- ranged to witness the training work of Herman today, and also expects to see the fight. Herman's brother, after see- ing him train, said that he seemed fast- er and stronger than he had ever seen him. He looks for the “Kid” to win in that Gans can stand his rushes and in- fighting. How he reaches this con- clusion is hard to see, as Gans has been | able to stand off Joe Walcott and other noted rushers. . Manager Jim Cofiroth, representing | the fight trust, has applied to the police committee of the Board of Supervisors for a special permit for a fight to be held in January. The trust goes out of existence officially with the pass- ing of this month, but the members | are out nearly $800 expense money | on the contest they failed to promote | this month. They brought Willie Fitz- | gerald across the continent to fight they sent to Ogden for Cyclone Thomp- son. He arrived too laté to be avail, able for the date. As both the boxers are on the ground and the match is a promising one from a spectator’s point of view, there is a general desire to see it held. - There is a precedent for the issuance of a special permit, 80 the promoters are hopeful that their application will be acted upon favorably. If it is, the bout will be put on at Dreamland Pa- vilion on January 18. &0 ey From present appearances Jack Johnson the colored heavywelight boxer, will be the first man to put the cham- pionship aspirations of Bill Squires, the Australian to the test. Johnson, accom- panied by A. A. McLean, his manager, will sail for the antipodes tomorrow on the Oceanic Company's liner Sonoma. for Sydney. The colored boxer has | been Buaranteed two fights by the Na- tional Sporting Club of the latter city. Johnson is sure that one of his op- ponents will be Peter Felix, a colored man, and expects the other will be Squires. His contract with the club reads that he is to meet any two men the club officials may select. "If Squires is pitted against Johnson it will give skill as a boxer is well known here. 1f Johnson is successful in his boxing pilgrimage to the southern seas he will return here and endeavor to force Jef- fries to give him a match. He will want to go down the line with all the heavyweights. Jack O'Brien was the first to get into line, s he promised to meet Johnson if the latter wins in Australia. Manager MacLean, who . knows Squires, says he is built on the same lines as Tom Sharkey. He weighs about 190 pounds and is about 28 years of age. Jack Cox, an Australian friend of Squitres, is authority. for the state- ment that Squires will not meet Jef- fries.

MAKES GOMPLAINT OF SHORT LINE WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Governor Gooding ¢f Idaho his written to Frank- lin K. Lane of the Interstate Commerce Commission charging the Oregon Short Line Railroad, a Harriman company, with full responsibility for the coal famine in that State. Governor Good- ing classifies it as a company which cares only' for dividends and states that he “has been strongly inclined to resort to drastic measures” for relief of the publi¢’s distress. The nature of the step contemplated by Governor Gooding: is not known here, but it is assumed that he thinks | of seizing the railroads and operating them in behalf of the suffering people. The Interstate Commerce Commission has no authority to take any action, but the information offered by Gover- nor Gooding will find a place in the | report which the commission will make either to the President or Eongress on the car shortage situation. In his let- ter to Commissioner Lane, which was written subsequently to that to the| Oregon Short Line, the Governor said he had a promise from the company to do its best to improve conditions and he hoped they would be bettered. —_— BANNER YEAR IN RALROAD WORK CHICAGO, Dec. 26.—More miles of railway were constructed in the United States during the last year than have been built during any year since 1883, according tb the Railway Age. Since January 1 last 6067 miles of track have been laid on 388 lines in forty-four States and Territories, making the country's total mileage 223,139, The largest amount of railway build- ing during the yeéar was done in Texas, where 701 miles were laid. Louisiana and South Dakota were almost tied for second place, with 381 and 389 miles, respectively. e el U TAKE FIREMAN FROM CAB Masked Men Make Off With a Strike Breaker - NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 26.—George Goldreax, a Southern Paclfic locomotive fireman, walked into Opelousas, La., today, having been taken from his engine by masked men twenty-two miles outside of town and after having tramped the larger ‘part of the night to reach town. Four masked and armed men boarded the engine during a stop, and despite the fact that Goldreax hid himself they found and dragged him off the englne. No violence was offéred to him and he was released as soon as his train was too far fway to be overtaken. Except for this Incident, General Superintendent E. B. Cushing said the firemen’s strike has caused no serious trouble on this end of the Southern Pa- | cific's Atlantic division. Two guards are carried on ‘every engine and all passenger and local freight trains have moved nearly on time. EXPERT TO GO TO PORTO RICO WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Upon rec- ommendation of the Interstate Com- merce Commission Governor Winthrop of Porto Rico has secured James Pea- body of Chicago as a railway expert to advise and_assist the Government of that island’ fn adjusting its railroad rates upon a fair and reasonable basis and to revise the freight classification now in use. greatest fights of recent times. Prac- tically unknown when he arrived at Totopah to begin training, “Kia” Her- man has made thousands of friends. He 1§ training harder than he ever did in his life, and when exercising at his training quarters works like a Trojan. He occasionally visits the mining &mps around Tonopah, for, being such a glutton for work, his trainers are a little afraid of his getting stale, and find that the change does him a world of good. When last -in Goldfield he was questioned as to the outcome of the fight. “I'm going to try real hard, s was the reply. That was enough, .as the way he said it showed his confi- dence. He seems to have no doubt as to'the outcome of the fight, and he is said to have imparted some of this con- dence to the miners in Tonopah.
