District Court.

The May term of the District Court
Is now being held in this city, Hon.
C. Webb Bertram on the bench, and
j. D. Matteson as deputy clerk, Mr..
johnson being too sick to be in at
tendance. The docket is made up of
nlnety-four cases, three of them being
criminal, tifty-two foreclosure or con-
firmation, two divorce, and the bal
ance made up of various causes of act
ion. One of the criminal cases, for
trespass has been dismissed and the
costs taxed to the county. The Whis-
key cases of Geo. Dill and Max Fro
muth, have been continued, the coun-
ty attorney being autOrizedt o issue
warrant at his pleasure, and bail fix
ed at =, 800. This practically means
a dismissal of the cases, much to the
regret of a large portion of our citi-
zens. The HERALD hoped these cases
would be pushed to conviction, and
cannot see why one at least was not,
as the defendent is known to be in
this neighborhood.
In the case of Bedford VS.. State In
surance Company, the jury rendered
a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
1925.

COLORADO DESERT.
MAJOR POWELL EXPLAINS THE
PHENOMENAL OVERFLOW.
Evidence that the Colorado River Eas
Filled the Basin at Various
Times-The Evaporation.
Special to the REcoRD-UN1oS.

Special TO the RECoRD-UNIoS.
New YORK, July 2l.-Major John w.
Powell, Director of the United States
Geological Survey, believes that the new
lake which has been growing in Colo
RADIO Valley is the overflow of the Colo
RADIO River through newly made mouth.
he says the traditions of the Indians are
by no means the only evidence that the
basin has been filled wholly or partially
before. Since the delta was formed that
portion of the Gulf of California was cut
off and left to evaporate under the ter
rife heat of the sun.
The Colorado has been playing pranks
of this sort on several occasions, he says.
Along the hills which form the sides of
this basin there are shore marks which
indicate that at different times the basin
has been flooded to different nights, and
then when the river cut back through its
old channel evaporation has again
changed the lake to a parched desert
The indications are that the valley has
been inundated within fifty years.
There is no Immediate danger of the
basin being filled, because it requires a
large volume of water to fill it to the
river level, and the evaporation is some-
thing wonderful. The waters of the
Colorado are saline, for the river flows
through beds of rock salt at places MANY
miles up from its mouth, and the success
sive deposits from the waters of this
river as they have flooded the valley and
then dried mp have added largely to the
original deposit.

HALL AND FITZSIMMONS.
GOVERNOR MERRIAM SAYS HE HAS
NO RIGHT TO INTERFERE.
The Authorities Are, However, Called
Upon to Enforce the Law-Fitz-
simmons is Arrested.
Special 10 the REcoRD-UN1os.

ST. PAUL, July 2l.-In the pugilistic
world this city is the center Of attraction
tonight.
There have been rumors without end
to-day of warrants and arrests, and much
excitement prevailed.
The first move this morning of the op-
ponents of the Hall-Fitzsimmons fight
was a continuation of last nights mass
meeting. Over 800 men and women
called on Governor Merriam early with
statement that the law was about to be
violated; that they, as citizens, were un-
able to prevent it, and calling on the
Governor to see that the laws were en-
forced.
Archbishop Ireland, ex-Chief Justice
Mcmillan, and others spoke. Governor
Merriam responded that a consultation
with legal authority had shown him that
he had no authority TO interfere, but he
said he would do what was in his power.
The Attorney-G General had informed him
thae ne could issue a proclamation, and
this the Governor did this afternoon. 1t
recites that it had been called to his at
tention that prize fight is to be fought;
sets forth the law on the subject, and ex-
pressly enjoins all officers whose duty
relates to the prevention of said offense to
iditnAully execute the law, ana apprehend
any person engaged in a violation of the
same.
Sheriff Bean this evening said he would
consult with his attorney, and whatever
he told him was his legal duty he would
do.
The warrants issued yesterday for the
arrest of pugilist Fitzsimmons and his
trainers, Smith and Carroll, were served
late this afternoon. They were at once
taken before Judge Cory. and FitZsim-
mons gave bond of $500 to keep the
peace. Carroll and Smith were released
on bail, their cases being continued until
Friday.
Jim Hall arrived to-day, but has not
been arrested.
Notwithstanding the organized and
strong opposition to the fight, the club
people feel certain tonight that it will
come off. The principals will undoubt-
edly be arrested when they appear in the
ring, but viii give bonds, and the fight
will proceed.

The ''Black Peari'' Defeats the Ex-
Amateur Champion.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 31.-Joe Ellings-
worth Of New York, eX-amateur middle
weight champion of America, and Harris
Martin, better known as the "BIack
PEARL" of Minneapolis, fought to finish
tonight under the auspices of the Twin
City Athletic Club, before a large crowd
OF spectators. The fight was for a purse
OF p, 900. Four-ounce gloves were used
and each contestant weighed a fraction
less than 150 pounds. Henry Seeley was
referee.
In the first round both men SPARED for
an opening, and Ellingsworth got in a
couple of good body blows as time was
called
In the second Ellingsworth led ont
with his right and left, nearly sending
the Pearl to the ground. After an ex-
change Of half Il dozen smart blows the
Pearl drew first blood from E1lings-
worth's neck, sending him to the ground.
The third round was vicious. An upper
cut, followed with a left lunge, sent FL
lingsworth on his back A blow behind
the left ear sent him down again. After
an exchange of face and body blows, a
stomach blow sent him down again. and
before the end of the round he was fioored
fourth, this time by a right-hander.
Inc New YORKER was hardly able to
keep his feet in the fourth round.
Throw up the SPONGE" Don't murder
the man." cried the audience, but he was
game. The Pearl rained blow after blow
upon his face and body, sending him to
his corner four times in as many seconds.
The fifth was repetition Of the preced-
ing round, Ellingsworth making but an
infants resistance, while the blood
flowed from his face. An upper cut sent
him reeling across the ring. He tried to
rise, but fell back just as his seconds
threw up the sponge
The BLACK PearP' was practically un-
touched. while Ellingsworth was badly
punished.

Destructive Fires in Chico-Lebanon,

CHICO, July 21.-This place was visited
by two fires last evening. The first was
frame dwelling-house, owned by A. HI.
Crew. The fire department had just sue
ceeded in quenching the flames when a
general alarm was sent in from the large
business block on Second street, in the
heart of the town. The fire started in the
rear of the drugstore owned by J. r.
Knox, and three or four neigh boring
business houses We're soon in flames 1t
required the united efforts of the fire de-
partment and the citizens for three hours
to prevent great confiagration.
The following business places suffered
and in the main were badly burned and
damaged by fire and water All were
brick dwellings,: Mrs. w. II. Fuller
Dorn's building and the Noonan build
ing. They were occupied by A. C. Broy-
les and J. Il. Knox, and the upper
stories were used by roomers, profess
sional men and others. 1t is impossible
at this time TO state the loss, but it is esti-
mated at $4,000 or $4,000.
n large grain fire occurred on the
ranches of c. NJ. Bryant, r. McEnespy
and Tom Patrick, near here last event ng.
The fire started from friction in the
harvesting machine. The loss is about
$4,000; insurance, 81, 800.
LEBANON orr, July 21.-About 1880
o'clock last night fire began in the back
OF the grocery store of L. G. PEBBLES 1t

the store OF 5. p. Bach, on the corner, the
Posto1fice, the harness shop of j. C. Frey,
the office of Dr. Druckett and the meat
market building. were completely de-
stroyed. PEBBLES stock of groceries was
worth $1,000 and WAS insured for 81 600.
Bach estimates his loss at from $4,000 to
$1,000, insured for 81, 300 About 500
worth of stock was taken out of his store
and saved. The buildings belonged to
Dr. J. ii. Courtney, and were valued at
$1,000, with an insurance of Sl,700.
The Postoffice building, fixtures and
most of the mail We're burned. About
$50 was in the safe, which cannot be
opened for some time. The fixtures We're
valued at 50 900, and there was no insur-
ance. Judge Miller, the Postmaster, will
lose about 5000 if the Government holds
him responsible for the postage lost. He
also lost his law library, valued at $3.50.
The fire was supposed to have been
caused by a defective flue in PEBBLES
store. The total loss is estimated at SIO,-

Special to the REooRD-US1oS.

LONDON, July 21.-The intimation made
by Balfour in the Commons yesterday, tc
the effect that local government bill fol
Ireland, based on the same lines as the
English and Scotch Acts, will be intro
duced by the Government at the next
session of Parliament, is founded on fact,
and such measure will certainly become
part of the Government programme foI
the next session.
The discussion of estimates in Parlia-
ment has been made the occasion for long
reviews in the press, in which the inn
proved condition of Ireland, the fact that
crime is dileinished, trade increased, evic-
tions lessened in number, boycotting al
most ceased, the plan of campaign is almost
extinct, and emigration ceased, are con-
siderably touched upon. During the past
week five principal banking corporations
of ireland have held annual meetings and
declared dividends of 10 per cent.
The Standard, in referring to this inn
provement OF condition, says: Ireland
asserts that the discontinuance of subsi-
dies received from the United States is
largely responsible for the Improvement.
The tenants, the Standard adds bribed bv
American dollars, will persist in their
dishonest and unlawful conspiracy; but,
left to face unaided the consequence OF
their criminal mistake, first in one place
and then in another, they have found il
necessary, while humiliating. The col
lapse OF the plan of campaign has given
warning as to the worth of the solemn
pledges of the agitatorS. Gladstone has
already stated that it is Indispensable that
the Conservatives i'll some respects have a
great advantage in undertaking home
rule legislation, for when the Tories pro-
pose radical legislation the Lords growl,
but they bear it, In the meanwhile, the
most remarkable feature is the curious
reapproachment between Balfour and the
Irish members. The Irish see that their
arch-opponent is, after all, human, and
that he has qualities of sincerity and
courage not inferior to their own. The
change has been on both sides, and Bal
four has perhaps learned the most.

The Senator, in part, said that all the

In the sixth round Greggains fouled
Mccarthy for the third time, and when

came up behind and knocked Mccarthy
down. The latter was in great distress
and became sick ut his stomach.
The referee refused TO allow the foul,
and after an examination of Mccarthy by
doctor, ordered the fight to continue

They first went to Alaska two years

This year they were to go east and west,
reaching an entirely unknown region on
the first trip. They discovered rich
mineral deposits, and the great object of
this years expedition was to find a trail
by which pack horses might be take into

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The Star saws:
IL is learned through reliable sources
mere that Secretary Blaine is gradually
preparing to resume charge of the State
department affairs. He now has his
Private Secretary with him, and is
getting together the loose ends of his
work, which he let drop so suddenly
when he was first taken sick.
IL can hardly be said that he is actually
at work yet, and the most he will under
take for some time, if his health con-
tinues to improve, viii be merely in an
advisory capacity. But ne is beginning
TO inform himself about the affairs of the
Administration, and to test his capacity
for work.
Some time ago when he first began to
ieel better he sent for his Private Secre-
tary to come to Bar Harbor. but Mrs.
Blaine and his doctors opposed his
burdening his mind with official cares
even TO limited extent, and the Private
Secretary did not remain more than one
day.
little less than week ago Mr.. Dent
was sent for again, and he has been with
Mr. Blaine ever since.
The reawakening of interest in his
WORK mas not, 1t Is said, retarded his re-
coVery, but, on the contrary, seems to be
beneficial to him. This being the case. il
Is believed that he will be able To resume
his former position in the Administration
in full.
Some of Mr.. Blaine's friends declare.
ana the President, it is said, has become
convinced, that the Maine statesman has
abandoned any idea he may have had of
being candidate in 1892 Some of his
friends believe that the newspapers
friendly TO Mr.. Harrison have piyen too
ready credence to the alarming reports of
his severe illness, and this, especially
With the knowledge of his own nervous
ness on that point, would make him the
first to take alarm
Mrs. Blaine Is opposed to his being a
candidate, and he would not run any
very great risk to his health for the
honor. 1t is said that he has given evil
dence OF disinclination to permit the
use of his name in connection with the
Presidency.
1t is believed that Mr.. Blaine has told
the President in so many words that he
will not be a candidate. At all events.
Harrison is said to be satisfied that
Blaine will not oppose him.
harrlSon's understanding of the situa-
ton is that Blaine would be better satis-
ned to be permitted to continue for an
other four years in the State Department.

horses consigned to Chicago passed there
on the 10th.
The man in charge of the ranch was
lost with the horses, and his absence
made it easy for the thieves to drive
horses from the ranch without detection.
