CHICO (Butte Co.), November 12 - A cutting affray that
might have resulted in a cold-blooded murder was stopped just in time in a
local saloon here at 1:30 Sunday morning by Deputy Sheriff C.A. HENRY. Jake McDANIELS, for many years a resident of
this city, and W.T. MATHESON, an employe of the Diamond Match Company at
Barber, engaged in a drunken brawl in the rear room of the Cabinet saloon on
Main Street early yesterday morning. In the course of the quarrel MATHESON, a
young man about 25 years of age, whipped out a large pocket-knife and made
several slashes at McDANIEL, cutting a long gash across the fingers of one
hand, and making a rent in his coat over his heart and across his back just below the shoulder
blade.
He was getting the better of McDANIEL when Deputy
Sheriff C.A. HENRY
appeared on the scene through a back door. HENRY
attempted to grab MATHESON,
but the latter made a lunge at him with his open
knife. The Deputy Sheriff then grabbed a stick of wood and struck MATHESON a
terrible blow on the head, putting him out of commission for the time, and
cutting a deep gash across his head.
Both combatants were then lodged in the City Jail.
McDANIEL was charged with battery, while a charge of assault with a deadly
weapon was entered against MATHESON. Later in the day both were released on
only $20 bail each. The most injured of
the two was MATHESON, who required the services of a physician to take several
stitches in his scalp to close the wound made by the blow from the stick of
wood.
Seek Right of Way Over Berry’s Ranch
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 12 - In the
condemnation proceedings of the
Western Pacific Railway Company vs. Rufus BERRY and
James BERRY, for a right
of way over defendants’ lands in Sutter County, the
following have been
accepted as jurors: G.W. BARNES, E.T. BARRETT, A.F.
BRADFORD, H.B. SPILLMAN,
D.C. POOL, Arthur COATS, Grant DAVIS, J.D. TIPPIN,
R.A. CARPENTER, E.A.
BOYNTON, J.R. CATLETT and John ENEMAN. Stipulations have been entered into which
leave to this jury but one question to decide - the damage to the land adjacent
to the right of way and the incidental damage by operation of the railroad.
Each side is limited to eight witnesses on the point. Thus far the figures on
the several witnesses vary from $3000 to $6000. It is understood the BERRYs
have been holding out for more than the last-named sum.
Pay Extra License
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 12 - Of thirty saloons
in Marysville affected by the recent raise in the night saloon license from $20
per month to $40 only four have thus far decided that it does not pay them to
keep their places of business open after 12 o’clock midnight. Three of these
are in out-of-the-way places where traffic after the midnight hour never did
pay a profit.
Oroville, Officers Say
CHICO (Butte Co.), November 12 - Coroner Sol PETITT
held an inquest Saturday afternoon over the remains of Carrol N. CHAPMAN, who,
as told in the second edition of The Saturday Bee, committed suicide some time
during Friday night in the cabin opposite the Northern Electric car barns on
Park Avenue, by shooting himself through the head with a 38-caliber pistol,
despondency being the cause of the act.
The testimony offered at the inquest showed that the
deceased was about 50 years of age and came to this city about four months ago
from Cottonwood, Shasta County, where he has two daughters and one son. He also
has a wife and one daughter in either Marysville or Oroville. He was afflicted
with extreme nervousness.
The last seen of CHAPMAN alive was on Friday night
when he was complaining of illness. Saturday morning Willie McKEE, a
14-year-old lad, entered the cabin to secure middlings for feeding a cow, and
found the old man lying on his back with a pistol still tightly gripped with
both hands. A ghastly hole was seen in his forehead. Neighbors were quickly
notified of the deed and the following letter was found pinned to a telescope,
marked ‘Look Inside’ on the envelope:
‘December 9, 1906: to ho it Ma concern I don this My self not abel to work and
haven’t ben for 4 years. C.N. CHAPMAN.?
Friends of the deceased at
Cottonwood were notified of the death and they will probably take charge
of the remains.
OROVILLE (Butte Co.), November 12 - A hack driven by
Charles VOORHEES was
struck by the 10:30 train last evening on its arrival
from Marysville, and a fatal accident was narrowly averted.
VOORHEES and a companion were thrown from the seat and
both quite badly bruised. The tongue of the vehicle was torn out, and one of
the horses quite badly cut. It is little short of a miracle that both men and
the horses were not killed.
The driver and his companion say the locomotive had no
headlight, and that no whistle was sounded to announce the train’s arrival.
Away With $2000 in Cash
CHICO (Butte Co.), November 12 - Later telegrams
received in this city by
Mrs. Sadie BERKEBILE, whose mother, Mrs. William
STAUFFER, a widow 60 years
of age, was foully murdered at Lambertville, Pa., at 3
o’clock Friday morning, as told in The Bee, give more details of the terrible
crime. Telegrams received Saturday state
that BERKEBILE, the son-in-law and husband of Mrs. Sadie BERKEBILE, of this
city, cannot be found by the officers, despite the fact that several searching
parties are out after him. The murder
was a most atrocious one. Some unknown masked man entered the house at 3
o?clock Friday morning and killed the aged Mrs. STAUFFER by striking her on the
head with a hatchet. Two grandchildren were in the house at the time, a boy and
a girl. The girl was chloroformed into insensibility, but the boy escaped. Both
saw the murderer and believe they can identify him.
Immediately after murdering Mrs. STAUFFER the man left
the house, but soon returned with a lighted lantern, searched the house and
secured $2000 in cash.
The house, when reached by neighbors summoned by the
boy, presented a terrible sight. Everything was covered with blood, and this
fact may lead to the location of the murderer, as his clothing was undoubtedly
splashed with the blood also.
The robbery was undoubtedly contemplated by the murderer
for some time. A man previous to the crime appeared at the Court House and
examined the will of Mrs. STAUFFER, and also inquired whether she had money on
deposit at the banks.
RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), November 12 - Elmer
MONTGOMERY, employed as a car
repairer in the Southern Pacific railroad yards here,
had a narrow escape from instant death about 3:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon,
while working underneath a freight-car near the depot. Something was wrong with
the draw-head and he thought he could remedy the defect in a few moments, so
neglected to place a red flag on the car. The switch engine backed into the car
with MONTGOMERY at the other end and bruised him severely. He was injured about
the head and received painful bruises to his chest. The engineer did not know
that anyone was working under the car and could not hear MONTGOMERY as he
shouted for the yardman to be careful.
Federated Clubs Elect Officials
WILLOWS (Glenn Co.), November 12 - The Federation of
Women’s Clubs of Superior California, which was in convention here, adjourned
Saturday at noon, and the visitors returned to their homes on the afternoon
trains. A two-days? session was held, commencing on Friday afternoon. That
evening a public entertainment was given, and on Saturday morning an election
of officers was held.
The following officers were elected: President of
Northern District, Mrs.
B.F. WALTON, of the Bogue Wednesday Club, Yuba City;
Vice-President, Mrs. Mary BOSTWICK, of

Woodland; Auditor, Mrs. H.E. COSSENS, Thursday Club, Fairoaks; Member of State
Nominating Committee, Mrs. Lewis H.
THOMPSON, Maywood.
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 12 - Word was received
from Wheatland at an
early hour this morning that the store of the Wheatland
Rochdale Company was visited by burglars at 2 a.m. and the safe blown open and
relieved of $400 in coin and paper money.
Aside from suspecting a tall man and a short man who
were prowling about the town yesterday, the officers have no clue to lead to
the identity of the safecrackers.
A running fight occurred between the robbers and the
night watchman. The latter was at the depot when the explosion took place and
at once hastened toward the store. The burglars opened fine and he returned the
shots but the men got away. The store room
was badly wrecked and between $400 and $500 taken.

CHICO
(Butte Co.), November 12 - Burglars Sunday night entered the Post Office
located in the store of O.W. NELSON at Durham, a little town six miles south of
Chico, on the Southern Pacific line, and after taking $2.20 in silver from the
Post Office till, stole about $35 worth of merchandise, consisting of knives,
razors, a pistol, No. 2 shotgun and some tobacco and made good their escape.
Entrance
to the store was gained through a rear window and the robbery occurred some
time after 11 o’clock Sunday night as the proprietors of the store did not
leave the building until that hour. A considerable amount of stamps in the Post
Office till were undisturbed. The thieves evidently took their time in ransacking
the place, as the proprietors found merchandise scattered over the floor when
they came in the store yesterday morning. The officers were promptly notified,
but to date have no clew to the perpetrators of the robbery.
CHICO
(Butte Co.), November 13 - Roland FINCHLEY, an electrician employed by the

Miner
Who Slashed Frank T. Smith In Court Once More, But Case Drags Waiting On
Selection Of Jury WEAVERVILLE (Trinity Co.), November 13 - Forty-four talesmen
were examined in the Superior Court yesterday and only five jurors were
obtained from the lot to sit in the trial of J.B. GRAVES, of Carrville, who is
charged with an assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder. The
regular venire being exhausted, the Court ordered a special venire made
returnable at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon, to which hour Court adjourned at
the close of the day?s session.
The
case is locally a famous one. “Jack” GRAVES is a prominent mining man of
Carrville, who is accused of slashing Frank T. SMITH at Carrville on March 9
last in a quarrel over the result of a dice game. SMITH was severely wounded
and really surprised his friends by recovering.
GRAVES has been bound over for trial three different times, the misfits
being caused by the earthquake.
The
trial brings a great crowd of witnesses to the county seat, all being forced to
make a long and tedious journey from the vicinity of Carrville.
NEVADA
CITY (Nevada Co.), November 13 - No particular change has been made in the
standing of John HOCKING, Democrat, and
A.L. GILL, Republican, for the office of County Coroner, by the official count
now under way by the Board of Supervisors. The count will not be finished
before this evening. Whether either will
ask for a recount is a problem, as the position does not pay enough to really make
it worth while. Neither man has expressed himself relative to the course he
will pursue at the close of the official count.
MARYSVILLE
(Yuba Co.), November 13 - On the strength of the testimony given at the
preliminary examination of “Stiffy” McMAHON and Harry WILSON last week, already

Chico yesterday morning on a complaint that charges passing a bogus check in
Redding. McREYNOLDS, known also under the name of McFARLAND, is wanted in Santa
Rosa by Constable GILLIAM, the nature of the charge there not being known here.
On
November 4, McREYNOLDS is alleged to have offered to A. JAEGEL, a well-known
saloon man of Redding, a check for $47 signed by Rester Brothers and payable at
a Santa Rosa bank. JAEGEL cashed the check, finding later that the paper was
worthless.
The
capture of REYNOLDS was affected, innocently, through his wife. She was
employed in the Golden Eagle Hotel, but quit Sunday. She left on the night
train, purchasing a ticket for Chico. The Redding officers surmised she was
going to meet her husband. They telephoned to the Chico officers to watch for
McREYNOLDS when the train arrived. His capture was easily effected, though his
whereabouts had previously been unknown.

entertained of his recovery. ADAMS is reported to be well connected in Alabama,
from which State he came to San Francisco before the April fire.
MARKLEEVILLE
(Alpine Co.), November 13 - It now seems certain that a special election will have
to be called to settle the Judgeship fight in this county. On the unofficial
returns, HAKES and HATCH, both Democrats who ran as Independents, are a tie,
and the vote of Alpine is so small that there is little chance the official
count will change the situation. Judge

declined to be a candidate to succeed himself, stating that at the expiration
of his tem on January 1 he proposed to return to his old home in Placerville
and resume the practice of law there.

assault with intent to commit murder, in shooting at one Harry EARISTON, an
aeronaut, for alienating the affections of his wife, was dismissed in the
Superior Court yesterday at the instance of the District Attorney.
The
shooting occurred in Chico some months ago. Public sympathy appears to have
favored PENDLETON at all time. It is claimed that EARISTON has broken up more
than one home. During the time PENDLETON was incarcerated in the Chico jail, a
Tonopah mining man came to that city and proffered him any aid in his power,
alleging that EARISTON had alienated his wife?s affections and broken up his home,
also.
OROVILLE
(Butte Co.), November 13 - News reached here yesterday of the burning of the
residence of Mrs. May JONES at Feathervale, a few miles above Oroville, on
Saturday night.

family had retired for the night, leaving a coal oil lamp turned down low,
burning in the sitting room. Some time
afterward they were awakened by the roaring of the flames and had barely time
to secure a few articles of clothing and flee from the burning structure.
It
is supposed the blaze was caused by the explosion of the lamp. The building was
a new two-story frame structure, valued at $3000, and was insured for about
two-thirds of its value.
Hunter
Meets Death While In Forest Alone, Accidental Discharge Of Gun Putting End To
This Life LAMOINE (Shasta Co.), November 13 - Giovanni PALFINI, an Italian
lumber piler who had worked for the Lamoine Lumber Company for three years, was
found dead by a trail a mile and a half east of Lamoine at * o’clock yesterday
morning by a party of friends who had gone in search of him. It is thought he
shot himself accidentally.
He
left his wife and family of four children early Sunday morning saying that he
would go hunting across the river. Not returning at night, his wife was greatly
alarmed. So friends started yesterday morning in search of him. His body was found beside the trail, where he
had probably seated himself to rest after a hard climb up the hill. He had
removed his shoes and his cartridge belt and his lunch was spread out before
him. The body was already badly swollen,
giving rise at first to the theory that he had been struck by a rattlesnake and
had died from the poison. But pools of blood revealed that he had accidentally
shot himself with his rifle that lay by his side.
The
friends made a litter and carried the body to Lamoine down the mountain,
reaching town at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, after a hard task. Coroner BASSETT was called from Redding to
hold an inquest. The verdict was one of accidental death.

during the afternoon he appeared at the Sheriff?s office in an intoxicated
condition and requested to be locked up. He was taken before the Court and
Judge (not legible) sentenced him to pay a fine of $150 and be confined in the
County Jail for a period of three days. POOLE is a farmer, whose home is near
Knights Landing. A few months ago he was fined $10 by Judge MAHON for being
tardy in Court.

out with the descriptions of the robbers. The officers here are of the opinion
that the two men were in Marysville Sunday.
Nitro-glycerin was the very effective explosive they used on the
Wheatland safe.

custody of the Sheriff of Sutter County.
SILVERS
is suspected of burning cannery property in other parts of California, where he
was employed.
MARYSVILLE
(Yuba Co.), November 15 - A fine of $150 was imposed by Judge RAISH last
evening in the case of Lloyd TOAL, the owner of the Cliff House saloon, who
permitted liquor to be sold at his resort on election day. The Court stated
that his reason for demanding this sum was two-fold: First, the crime was a
serious one, and secondly, a light fine might have the effect of arousing the
ire of the City Council to the end that TOAL?s license would be revoked. TOAL
made no defense, entering a plea of guilty on the advice of his attorney, W.H.
CARLIN.
Wed

WINTERS

REDDING
(Shasta Co.), November 15 - The Coroner?s jury in the inquest held at Lamoine
over the body of Giovanni PALFINI returned a verdict finding that PALFINI came
to his death by a gunshot wound inflicted by ?party or parties unknown.? No
evidence pointing to the murderer or murderers could be found. No suspicion attaches to the 19-year-old boy
who started out with PALFINI Sunday morning at 7:15. The boy returned at 8:45
complaining that his boots hurt his feet, and he could not continue farther.
PALFINI
was killed with a soft-nosed bullet of the U.C.M. make. PALFINI?s cartridge
belt contained only hard-nosed bullets in Winchester cartridges. The Italian was unquestionably murdered.
His
countrymen are of the belief that he was slain by the Black Hand of the Mafia,
though no one can surmise why he should be marked for vengeance. PALFINI was at peace with himself and the
world so far as any one at Lamoine knows. His widow says that she can not
recall that he had an enemy anywhere.
The body was taken to Sisson for burial in the Italian Cemetery. Deputy

STOCKTON
(San Joaquin Co.), November 17 - The Grand Jury has brought in two indictments
for murder against the boy Robert BENSON, who shot two boys named RAGGIO last
week, claiming it was an accident. The RAGGIO boys, John and Louis, were
sitting on a fence alongside the roadway. Young BENSON was traveling with a
shotgun over his shoulder. The boys had some bantering words and BENSON blazed
away at the RAGGIOs, thinking he had a
blank cartridge in his gun, he says. Both RAGGIO boys received shot in their
heads and they died in a hospital here a few days later. BENSON has been in
custody since the shooting.
Swallowed
Small Object Many Months Ago, But Felt No Ill Effects Until Recently WILLOWS
(Glenn Co.), November 17 - About ten months ago Tote SMITH, the chief operator
of the Sunset Telephone Company?s switchboard of this place, swallowed a pin
that measured at least two inches and had on its blunt end a small black
ornament. She felt no ill effects from it until about a month ago, when she
commenced having hemorrhages of the throat and violent coughing spells. After
these hemorrhages and coughing spells had continued for about one month she
became much alarmed and thought that she was contracting the dread disease
consumption.
She
went to work as usual yesterday and after having been on duty about two hours
was taken with a severe coughing spell, and was very much surprised to see that
she had coughed up the pin that she had swallowed about ten months ago. It was
all corroded and certainly is a mystery. The young woman says that the pin had
not given her the least of pain during its long stay in her throat until just lately. She feels very much relieved to think that
she is not afflicted with the dread disease that she thought she was and is now
wondering where the pin has been located in her throat during all these long
days.
WEAVERVILLE
(Trinity Co.), November 17 - The trial of J.B. GRAVES, of Carrville, which has

The State CORNING (Tehama Co.), November 17 - W.H. HANNAN, the third oldest man
in California, died yesterday afternoon at his home here at the advanced age of
105 years. HANNAH was a native of Ireland. He came to California in March,
1852, and has resided in the State since. He has made Corning his home since
1872. He spent most of his life in California, in Butte, Sierra and Tehama
counties.
Two
years ago, when he was at the advanced age of 103 years, HANNAN went to the
polls and cast his last vote. He was unable to vote this year, because he had
neglected to get registered owing to his feeble condition. For the past twenty years he had been more or
less feeble, and has not been able to do much. During the past year at times he
has been so weak that he could scarcely recognize his own relatives.
He
leaves a daughter, Mrs. T.H. HAYES, who resides at 1730 N Street, Sacramento.
The
funeral will probably take place Sunday.

Clifford Victor in Fight With Cordell
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 19 - With a terrific
right arm swing which landed under the ear of his opponent and over the jugular
vein, Jack CLIFFORD, of Grass Valley, put Jack CORDELL, of Oakland, to sleep in
the seventh round of what was intended for a 20-round contest Saturday
night. A thousand spectators had
assembled in Hopkins’ Hall to witness the ?go?
which was under the management of Barney VAN BUSKIRK, of the Phoenix
Athletic Club. These are about equally divided as to whether it was a chance
blow or one well directed by the game CLIFFORD, that ended the contest. It was CLIFFORD who forced the fighting from
the start. He showed a marked improvement since his last appearance here, and
CORDELL was content to fall back on his usual cleer blocking in the hope of
winning on points. The preliminaries
were between Mike MATTHEWS, of Chico, and “Iron Man Dunn” of San Francisco, and
Jack WALLACE, of Yuba City, and Ed MOORE, of this city. The first was stopped by the police on
account of the “ginger” which the Chico man introduced in lieu of science, and
the second was concluded when WALLACE’s trainer?s threw up the sponge because
of the lack of both science and ginger in their corner.

Catholic Cemetery. The same pallbearers acted as at the funeral of the husband.
Mr. and Mrs. WARD had been married forty-eight years, and the serious illness
of his aged wife caused by paralysis, was the primary cause of Mr. Ward?s
death. Mrs. WARD was not informed that
her life partner had passed away and died in the belief that he was ill in
another room of their beautiful home. The couple had resided continuously in
this city for two decades and had many friends throughout the county.

FEET TO TERRIBLE DEATH

Awful Fate OROVILLE (Butte Co.), November 28 - At what is known as Sumsion Camp
No. 1, on the Western Pacific, Thomas COLLISON, a concrete contractor, was
instantly killed yesterday by falling from a concrete wall forty feet
high. He was directing the construction
of the wall when he slipped and fell over the edge, death resulting
instantaneously.
The dean man
was about 50 years of age, and had a family residing in Grass Valley, where the
remains will be shipped for interment.
NEWS AT
GRASS VALLEY OF DEATH OF COLLISON
GRASS VALLEY
(Nevada Co.), November 28 - Word reached here late yesterday that Thomas
COLLISON, whose family resides here, had fallen from a forty-foot stone wall in
the Feather River Canyon, breaking his neck and crushing his skull. Death was
instantaneous. This morning his body was removed to Oroville, where an inquest
was held. It will be shipped here for burial.
COLLISON,
for many years a highly esteemed resident of this place, had been in the employ
of the Western Pacific for several months, carrying out concrete contracts. He
had undertaken to erect a high stone wall in the canyon of the Feather, fourteen
miles from Oroville, and had it reared to a hight of forty feet. Yesterday
morning, as he stood on top of the wall, he suddenly lost his balance or became
dizzy and plunged downward headforemost to the hard, rocky ground before a hand
could be stretched out to save him. At 1
o’clock this morning The Bee correspondent at this city received the
information that as far as was known at Oroville, the body was still at
Sumsion?s Camp, where the fatality occurred, but that the Coroner had long
since departed for the scene.

leaves a wife and a large family. They are heartbroken over the sad news, which
has cast a gloom over the community as he was a man who enjoyed a wide
friendship, and was held in the highest esteem. He was aged about 50 years.

Landmark
Gone
ALTURAS
(Modoc Co.), November 28 - A very familiar landmark in the center of Alturas
has just been demolished and removed. Ever since the destruction of the Nichols
building, on the corner of Modoc and Main Streets, its thick stone vault has
stood as a monument. The structure was sold this week and the stone removed to
the sidewalk of the lot to be used for curbing. The old vault had an
interesting history, having served for many years as the county Treasurer?s
strong box. Afterward it was utilized by the Post Office and for many years
protected the stamps and property of Uncle Sam.
FOUGHT FOR
WIFE AS WELL AS PURSE
Had Choynski
Defeated Him, Kane Wound Have Lost The Girl Who Wedded Him At Auburn Yesterday
AUBURN (Placer Co.), November 28 - William R. KANE, a young Grass Valley
pugilist participated in a ring contest in that city on Monday, but the
spectators were not aware that the young man was fighting for more than mere
stakes of money. KANE thought but little of the pecuniary benefit of the
contest, and nothing but a knock-out blow could have caused him to give up the
fight, which, by the way was declared a draw.
KANE was
fighting for the hand of the woman he loves, as she had placed a condition upon
the contest, and that was that to win her he must not go down in defeat.
KANE had
already agreed to the match before his lady love knew anything of the affair
and on hearing it she made strong objections, declaring she would never marry
him if he entered the ring. But the young pugilist?s word had been given to
meet CHOYNSKI and he could not cancel his obligation. So he pleaded with the
young woman, showing her how impossible it would be to decline to enter the
ring, after he had agreed to do so. For a time she was obdurate. To marry a pugilist was not to her liking.
However, she could find it in her heart to love a victorious pugilist, but a
defeated one, never. So the young woman made this the essence of her promise
and William must not be among the fallen, else he could not lead her to the
altar. As the contest was a draw, the
young man claimed his bride, who is Miss Delia M. BORLACE, of Nevada City, and
yesterday the young couple, accompanied by KANE?s mother, arrived in this city
and were married by Justice Henry McCANN. Mrs. KANE, the groom’s mother, filed
her written consent to the marriage, her son being but 19 years of age. The
bride gave her age as 18.
After the
ceremony and happy congratulations among the Court House officials the young
couple left for their home in Grass Valley. While the groom did not meet defeat
in his ring contest, he bore evidence of considerable punishment. A blackened
optic was one of the prominent marks of his opponent.
KANE-CHOYNSKI
FIGHT WAKES UP PUGILISTS
GRASS VALLEY
(Nevada Co.), November 28 - Since the KANE-CHOYNSKI fight on Monday evening all
the boxers in town have caught the fever the worst way. Jack CLIFFORD challenges KANE and CHOYNSKI
for the same night, declaring he will knock them both out in twenty rounds,
taking CHOYNSKI on first. CLIFFORD
recently knocked out LUNDY and CORDELL, but there are many who doubt if he
could put these two husky lads away in eh same night, as they would both merely
fight on the defensive, though CHOYNSKI, before leaving said he was willing to
meet CLIFFORD himself for twenty rounds. CLIFFORD has the offer to fight Adam RYAN, the
crack Eastern lightweight, at Tonopah on New Year’s Day, as the main
preliminary to the GANS-HERMAN go. This
he will accept.
?Fighting
Dick? TROUNCE has also challenged KANE and CHOYNSKI. KANE gave CHOYNSKI the surprise of his life.
He not only stayed the required ten rounds, but made the San Francisco boy
fight his fastest all the way. At the end neither was in distress, though KANE
was getting weak in the legs. This is his first real fight, as hitherto he has
never met any but local lads, who have been easy picking.

Joaquin Co.), November 28 - The marriage of Elmer A. HUMPHREY and Miss Ruth W.
