WOODS THE WINNER.
The Denverite Proved to Be Too Mu,
for the Omaha Man.

The Denverite Proved to Be Too Much
for the Omaha Man.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 21. Billy
Woods, of Denver, and Jack Davis, Of
Omaha, met at the Pacific club tonight
for a $4,000 purse. The men were very
evenly matched, weighing about 40
pounds each. Davis was seconded by
Bob Fitzsimmons. Jack Dempsey was
referee.
First round-After some feinting
Woods landed left and right body blows.
Second round-Davis landed his righU
on Woods's' ear. A left drive tinged
Woods's nose with red.
Third round-Pavis several times
rushed Woods to the ropes.
Fourth round-Woods landed a good
left on Davis's cheek.
Fifth round-Davis got in a couple of
hot ones on the jaw, staggering Woods.
Sixth round-The men were now get
ting in close quarters, but not taking
chances. Woods seemed disposed to
clinch.
Seventh round-W oods landed short
lefp on the point of the jaw, staggering
Davis.
Eighth round Woods was sent to the
ground twice, with right swings, as the
round closed.
Ninth round-Opened with Davis
chasing Woods around the ring on a
run, Woods hiding his face, and Davis
landing his right on the back of his
neck. Woods suddenly retaliated wit b
his right on Davis's jaw, dazing him for
a minute. The men then slugged each
other close range until both were
groggy, hammering each other about
the head Woods with half-arm drives
and Davis upper-cutting with his right.
Woods caught him as the gong sounded
and Davis went down and was carried to
his corner.
Tenth round-Davis recovered quickly
and rushed Woods about the ring.
Eleventh round-Davis slipped to the
floor in his own corner from Woods g
two-handed drives. He was dazed and
bleeding freely from the left eye and
mouth. He appeared blinded with
blood.
Twelfth round-Woods brought blood
with ri hit hand smashes.
Thirteenth round-Woods had swell
ing of the left cheek. He caught Davis
on the head with a right smash, send
ing him to one knee. As he rose,
Woods again sent him to the ropes,
smashing his helpless opponent with
his right. Davis was unable to respond.
Fitzsimmons rushed into the ring, and a
fight was narrowly avoided between
Woods and the wrathy New Zealander,
who claimed a foul. The Denverites
sided with their man, and the ring was
soon filled with struggling, excited men.
Dempsey vainly endeavored to restore
order. The police then entered the
ring, and, Davis announcing that he
would give up the fight, the referee
declared Woods the winner.

THE RAILROADS.
A FALLING OFF IN SOUTHERN PA
CIFIC LAND SALES.
Litigation to Be Opened to Settle
ment-News Notes,

There has been great falling off oil
late in Southern Pacific land sales. The
sales by Land Agent Jerome A. Madden
for the first eighteen days of the present
month amounted to only $12, 1887 81,
which was the price paid for 2225 acres
of land, against $26, ,12S.52, the price for
3505 acres in the same period last year.
The total sales for August were only
$77S7.73 for 1918 acres, against $685.
972.87 for the same monthin 1890. This
great decrease in the revenue of the
Southern Pacific company is directly
attributable to the fact that large tracts
of railroad land in the counties of Los
Angeles and San Bernardino have been
tied up in litigation for the last year. A
recent decision of the United States
circuit court in favor of the company
gives it clear title to these Los Angeles
and San Bernardino lands, and Mr..
Madden looks for great increase in
Gales before long.

Officer Rich Charged With Partially
for Pullman Cars.

lOI ullIHdn lars.
Chief Glass and Police Commissioner
Lewis were occupied yesterday in hear
ing about the charges preferred against
Officer Rich. A Mr.. Cochran is the
complaining witness. He is the'night
watchman of the coaches at the Santa
Fe depot. He stated yesterday that he
saw Officer Rich in reclining position
on seat in Pullman. The witness
would not swear that Rich was asleep.
John O'Toole also testified that he had
seen Officer Rich coming out of the
coaches on several occasions, and once
upon time saw him in reclining po-
sition.
At police headquarters the reporter
was informed that Officer Rich was de-
tailed to enter the coaches and look out
for some thieves. The captain said that
there was nothing in the charge and that
it was piece of spite work from begin
ming to end, worked up by man who
had grudge against the officer.

fr;enda as we'll was that he was an in

temperate man. On the contrary,
Major Truman says that in all his long
relations with him, while on his mill
tary staff in Tennessee, and as his pri-
yate secretary, while president, covering
a period of six or seven years, he only
saw him twice when he could not be
said to be absolutely in possession OF his
tongue and brain. Unfortunately for
Johnson one of these occasions was on
bis inauguration, and when it is known
that he sat up greater portion of the
previous night with that prince of bon
viuants, Col. John w. Forney, who could
put dozen men of primitive habits un-
der the table at single sitting, it is to
be wondered at that he was able to APP
pear at all. There have been presidents
of the United States whom we will not
name, and who enjoy an uncommon
degree of esteem both in this country
and abroad, who drank. twenty times as
much as Johnson. The latter, however,
has come under the force of the adage,
"Give dog bad name and kill him, /"
and he suffers thus on account of his
unshakable firmness, which made him
hosts of enemies, but which saved his
country at critical stage of its ex-
istence.

SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLAR ORE
Post Mortem Livingston's Alleged Big
Find.

Post Mortem Livingston, the we'll
known searcher after the hidden riches
OF the Colorado desert, was in last Sat-
urday, and this time he has struck it,
says the Banning Herald. He brought
in rock so rich in gold that it is worthy
OF becoming circulating medium with
out the formslity of going through the
mint. A man could carry enough of
such rock, if he could get hold of it, to
buy and stock farm. P. M. doesn't pre-
tend to say that he has found an mex
haustible supply of this rich mineral,
but he does say that there is ledge of
it two inches wide and two feet deep, and
that he has uncovered it for distance
of 80 feet. The vein of pure gold runs
through the rock the whole depth and
length so far as investigated. He says
he will have no difficulty in getting a
couple of tons of ore like the specimen
he brought in, and that it will go from
$40, 900 to 100000 to the ton. He got
his mules shod, took an arastra and
started back for his rich find Saturday
evening. We hope P. M. has really
struck it. Judge Ingelow has been
grub-staking the old man, and comes in
for half of the find. This will fix the
Judge if it eventuates, and it will fill the

THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Just now our Republican contempora-
ries are quite busy in their attempts to
undervalue the importance Of the recent
vote of New York. They assume that
the Empire state is by no means reliably
Democratic, and that the result this
year does not indicate what the state
will do in the presidential year of 1892.
This is all bosh. They know in their
hearts that the action of the Empire
state on last Tuesday means the restora-
ton of the presidency to the Democracy.
Since 1s75-a period of sixteen years
the Democracy has won the gubernato-
rial election in New York, with the
single exception of the defeat OF Lucius
Robinson by Alonzo B. Cornell in 1877.
Every one knows how that was brought
about. John Kelly, Democrat and Tam
manyite, ran in that year as an Inde-
pendent, received about $4,000 votes,
and thus effected the election OF Cornell.
If it had not been for Kelly's bolt Rob-
inson would have been reelected by an
overwhelming majority. As it was,
since 1876 Tilden, Robinson, Cleveland
and Hill have been Democratic gov
errors to the one Republican governor,
Alonzo B. Cornell. David B. Hill will
have filled the Office for seven years,
when his term expires, the longest
period, with two exceptions, that office
has been filled by one man in the history
OF the Empire state. He will be sue
ceeded by Roswell P. Flower, another
Democrat. Thus. as Hill serves two
terms, as we'll as an unexpired term Of
Cleyeland's, we will have had six Demo
cratic to one Republican governor.
1t is true that twice since 1876 New
York has gone Republican for president,
but the circumstances were peculiar,
and it is not; necessary to discuss them
now. The conditions are changed, and
there is no danger OF such mishap
occurring next year. The New York
Democracy is united and invincible.
The Empire state not only casts big
vote herself, but always exerts an over
ruling influence on many other states in
presidential years. In nearly all in
stances for decades past Indiana is found
voting with New York. New Jersey
always and Connecticut of late may be
safely put in the Democratic column.
These states alone, with the solid south,
will elect the Democratic candidates,
with three electoral votes to spare.
In the light of the elections this year
the following figures have nothing Of
exapperation in the m I:

Ex-Governor Zulick Tells OF 1t an d Re-

Ex-Governor O. Weyer Zulick of Ari-
IONA, who is here, reports that
strenuous effort will be made before
congress this winter for the admission
of Arizona, says the San Francisco
Examiner:
81 do not think there is any doubt
about it's being admitted, either" said
the ex-governor. III it was Republican
IT would have been admitted before now
but as it Is it will get through all right.
The sentiment in the territory is unani-
nous. Everybody is in favor OF it, and
all are working for it; and from what is
generally understood there will be no
opposition at Washington that cannot
be readily surmounted. We now have
a population of between 10000 and
so 900, more than Idaho when it was
admitted, and more than several other
territories in recent and in earlier times.
This population is increasing in steady
and satisfactory way.
"Arizona is prosperous. The atten-
ton that is being paid tropical and
semi tropical fruits, including oranges,
lemons, figs, nuts of various kinds,
peaches, wines and raisins, is being re-
warded by good returns. Larger areas
are being devoted to these products all
the time. Three or four years ago. at
| the close of my term of office, l went
over into the Salt River valley and
| located a desert claim of $40 acres. 1t
cost me $125 an acre and today it is
worth 800 an acre. and in less than five
years it will be worth $500 an acre.
"Myself and others built the High
land canal, twenty-two miles long,
through what appeared to be the worst
desert one could see. Today it is a
smiling valley redolent with flowers and
] with grasses, vegetables and fruit every
where. The $40 acres, which l
located for $l25 an acre, is all
down in alfalfa, except a few acres
which are in fruit. Give me little Ari-

There are liable to be sensational de-
