LIKELY To WIN.
Mrs. Baldwin's Damage Claim Again st
the Mexican Government


Copyright 1885, by the California associated Pressl
WASHINGTON, January 23d-Mrs. Janet
NJ. Baldwin, of San Francisco, whose hus-
band, Leon Baldwin, was murdered last
year by Mexicans near Ventinas, in the
State of Durango, has arrived in Washing
ton to press her claim for damages against
the Mexican Government The story of
Baldwin's assassination while in the en-
ploy of Carroll &c Co., as mining engineer,
has been published at length in the Cali
fornia papers. Congressman Morrow
brought the case to the attention of the
State Department last fall, and at the re-
quest of Secretary Bayard the American
Consul at Durango made an investigation
OF the case. His report, when received at
the State Department, was brought to the
attention of the Mexican Minister at Wash
lngton, and claim for indemnity has been
made.
Mrs. Baldwin asks $25, 600, and the prob
ability Is that she will either receive the
full amount or large portion of it. To-
day, accompanied by Morrow, she visited
the State Department, and was introduced
to Secretary Bayard and First Assistant
Secretary Rives. She was fortunate to meet
there General Bragg, of Wisconsin, the
newly-appointed Minister to Mexico. To
these gentlemen she told her story, and its
recital created an impression upon those
who heard it. She showed that appeals for
protection had been made by Carroll & Co.
to the Mexican Government repeatedly,
and promise of protection was given but
never fulfilled. Minister Bragg will press
the Baldwin claim upon the Mexican Gov
ernment to the best of his ability as soon
as he arrives at his post

Indian Territory the Scene Of a Sensa-

LIMESTONE. January 23d.-Four masked
men, all heavily armed entered the Citi-
zens' Bank on Saturday and presented
pistol at the head of Cashier VIM. Rey-
nolds and demanded that he hand over the
cash. While pretending to comply, Rey-
nolds slammed the door of the safe to and
turned the lock. He was at once laid out
by bullet from the pistol of one of the
desperadoes, and which killed him in
stantly.
The bank was then ransacked and all
the money in the cash drawer, some S., 200
taken.
An attempt was made to open the SAFE
but in this the robbers were foiled. As the
sound of the pistol shots were heard sew
eral people came rushing towards the bank
and in few minutes the town was aroused
and twenty or thirty armed men hurried to
the bank. The robbers were just mount
ing their horses and hot fire started, in
which one of the robbers, Thomas Evans,
ranchman living near town, was killed.
In the melee four of the citizens were
wounded but not fatally. The surviving
robbers rode away with the booty, fol-
lowed by a posse, which, after hours of
chase, caught the desperadoes and took
them back to Limestone. The leader was
found guilty of murder and strung up.
The other two were placed in charge of a
strong guard and started for Fort Washita
where they were turned over to the United
States authorities The stolen money was
recovered.

SPIDER AND BANTAM.
Ike Weir Puts Tommy Miller to Sleep in
Short Order.

MINNEAPOLIS, January 23d-The fight
between Ike Weir, the " Belfast Spider"
and Tommy Miller, the" Omaha Bantam"
took place at Washington Rink tonight.
Weir weighed 119l pounds and Miller 1921!
There was considerable wrangling over
this, Weir claiming the forfeit money. as
the articles said the men must weigh under
100 pounds. The dispute was finally left
to the fOrfeit-holder. The fight was for
twenty rounds, Queensberry rules, two
ounce gloves, the winner to take seventy
five and the loser twenty-five per cent. of
the gate receipts. The men were both in
good condition. Weir was seconded by
John Donaldson and Jerry Murphy, while
Ed Roherty and Pat Killan stood behind
Miller. Hank Seleye was made referee.
The entertainment began with what was
to have been a contest between D. W.
Webb and Charley Gleason for 800 a side.
Gleason, however, struck the only blow,
and this landed OF the iugular, Webb be-
ing knocked out in FIVE seconds after time
was called.
Both fought shy, and considerable spar
ring was INDUCED in, when Weir caught
Miller on the chin with his right. Miller
made several hard passes, but v as short.
The round closed with good fighting on
both sides.
Round 2d.-Weir got in three hits, the
first on Miller's nose, which brought
blood. First blood allowed for Weir.
Round 3d.-Weir caught Miller on the
cheek with his left, when they clinched,
and Weir got in his'right four times The
round was circus for Weir. He kept the
crowd IN a roar with his funny antics.
Round 4th.-Weir landed one with his
left on Miller's nose, and the latter fol-
lowed with his right on Weir's cheek,
when both clinched. Miller got in another
on Weir's face, and Weir followed with
three terrific body blows. They were fight
ing hard when time was called.
Round 5!h.-Miller fought game, but
was groggy and was about used up at the
end of the round, which was mostly of
clinches.
Round 6th-Weir came up fresh, while
Miller was unable to guard Weir's light
ming blows. Miller, to avoid punishment,
dropped to his knees, and Weir pounded
him as he pleased and was not hit himself
Round 7th.-Weir played with Miller
when he gave him terrific right-hander
knocking him against the ropes. He again
gave Miller an upper-cut, knocking him
clear into the ropes. and completely OUT
Miller was carried from the stage to his
dressing-room. He fought gamely, but he
was no match for the deceiving little

Celifornians Working to Secure the
Democratic National Convention.
TCopwig1t, 1855, By the California associated Press
WASHINGTON, January 23d.-The sta,
says: Representatives Thompson and
Biggs and Messrs. Edward Curtis, L. L.
Bullock, General Rosecrans, Tate Mont
gomery and Frank Sullivan have been ap-
pointed committee by the Democratic
State Club of California to urge the claims
OF San Francisco as Il suitable place fOI
holding the National Democratic Conven-
ton this year. AS California never does
anything by halves, the Democrats of that
State offer to defray the expenses of all
delegates to and from San Francisco, and
to pay their hotel bills while there
Another argument they use is that, as
there is no contest over the Presidential
nomination-Mr. Cleveland's nomination
being assured-the trip to California will
be simply pleasure jaunt, which will give
the leading Democrats OF the nation an op-
portunity of seeing the glories of the
golden State and to partake of the I'M
bounded hospitality of her people They
say number of national assemblages have
already been held in San Francisco. The
Triennial Conclave of knights Templar
met there three years ago; the Grand Army
of the Republic met there in 1886, and the
National Young Mems Christian Associa
ton met in San Francisco last year. All
of these organizations, they say, were more
than pleased that they did.
