GLOVES AND FISTS.
The PaStime Amateur Club En-.
tertainment.

The Pastime Amateur Club gave its third
monthly entertainment last evening on
Stevenson street. The gymnasium was
crowded with the lovers OF athletics when
the contest began. After an excellent pro-
grsmme OF events had been carried out, the
master of ceremonies announced the event
Of the evening, which consisted OF two ten
round bouts between local amateurs. The
first was a contest between King and
Pinkus, which was a rafting good exhibit
ton up to the third round, when Pinkus
concluded thar he had enough for one even
ing, and, on falling to the floor without
being hit. he remained down until counted
out. 1t was a clear case OF quit on his part.
The final event was a ten-round go be-
tween the Juveniles G. Fowler and Pretty"
Whalen. The latter did very we'll at the
beginning and looked a very promising can
didate for first place. Fowler. although
having received the majority of hard
knocks, stuck to his game, and he made mat
tiers so decidedly interesting for Pretty
toward the end of the contest that his stock
was in the ascend ent when Pretty" showed
the white feather by quitting in the ninth
round without having received enough pun
ish4 ent to make baby cry.
The club would do well in future to ig-
more any boxer who has not proven that he
has had some experience in boxing. These
very young and inexperienced lads never
give satisfaction.
The next entertainment promises to be
first class.
The souvenirs given out last evening
were PROFESSIONALLY far superior to any
thing of the kind ever seen at any OF the
clubs In this city.
The Occidental Club selected Danny Need
ham to referee the La Blanche and Greg
gains fight in place of Billy Jordan, who
had refused to have anything to do with the
contest Martin Murphy and Greggains'
brother will look after Greggans, and A.
?. Butler will act for George La Blanche.

FLOWING BY NIGHT.
A Plan Adopted by the Farmers of Colusa
In Raat Tfnne.

A Plan Adopted by the Farmers OF Colusa
to Beat Time.
1--WE have device at Colusa," said Jesse
Pound stone, State Secretary Of the Farmers
Alliance, yesterday, "by means OF which
our fall glowing is greatly accelerated.
ssIt is steam pillow and can be run day
and night over the level farms at the rate Of
eight miles an hour. 1t has a traction en-
CINE, and tears up the ground in strips
twenty-one feet wide, doing its work much
more evenly and thoroughly than the old
horse plows. The same appliances are used
for combined haryesters and thrashers in
the proper season.
''fhe engine is ecu ipped with locomotive
headlights for night work, and they throw
a light in the path in front of the machine.
Additional lights throw their rays on the
plows, which are placed in row obliquely
from the direction of progress and enabling
the machine to turn sharp corners.
Ordinarily an engineer, q fireman and a
man to look after the pillow can operate this
labor-saving device, which plows about 100
acres day, running continuously, at a cost
of $50 per day, including wear and tear OF
machinery. Team-plowing could not be
carried on for less than IS cents an acre.
"The ability to work at night enables
farmer to rusn his work when he is pressed
for time. The main objection to running at
night is the difficulty encountered in having
two different crews TO run the machine. one
by dav and the other by night. If anything
goes wrong during the day the night en-
gineer usually falls heir to the difficulty,
which the other frequently neglects and
makes no effort to repair the damage. We
are working sixteen hours day with one
crew. and with TWO sets of mechanics could
continue the work through the night until
the mOruing shift. ~

NOT FISHERMEN,
Identification of the Drowned Off
the Cliff House.

Inquiries along the city front among the
fishermen yesterday revealed that the vic
TINS OF the boat accident off the Cliff House
on Thursday morning were not fishermen,
but men who had gone out for a days fish
Ing off Bar Rock. They were BENZ amin
johnson, Swede, aged Is years. and Peter
Engstrom, about % years old.
johnson was an old resident of this city,
and was formerly a seaman, but for several
years had worked as stevedore on the
Oceanic Wharf. Engstrom is a recent ar
rival from Colusa County, where he worked
on a land dredger. Both roomed at the
Scandinavian House, 80 Clay street About
two months ago johnson purchased the
skin from which he was drowned and had
made several fishing excursions in her
Inc two became acquainted at the board
lng-house, and as both had no work a
fishing trip out to the heads was proposed
by johnson and agreed to by his COM
panion They left the house on Thursday
morning, taking little lunch with them,
and said they would be back by shutdown.
After reaching the heads no doubt they be-
were being swept out to sea by the strong
ebb tide, and in their efforts to reach a
place OF safety the boat capsiZed.
Theodore johnson, the bar-keeper at the
Scandinavian House, said thatiJ Ohnson had
considerable money in the bank and also
bad snug sum with him. He was de-
Scribed as very quiet man not addicted to
drink, and had been stopping in the house
for four years. He was dressed in dark
sack suit, somewhat the worse for wear
His companion is Described as short, stout
man, and, like johnson, wore dark suit Of
clothing Both were single, and so far as
known have no relatives living in this city.

TROUBLE AHEAD.
Local Democrats Are GETTING
Badly Mixed Up.
The Iroquois Club Refuses to Father a Report
Of the Late General Committee on
Reorganization.

A goodly number of Iroquois braves met
last evening at the Sutter-street Wigwam
| and tried to extricate themselves from the
| subtle web woven by the Reorganization
| Committee, appointed nearly year ago TO
manufacture hitter for the local Democ-
| racy.
| Instead of devoting their time to the lat
! ter duty the members of this committee
| have Eeen engaged in making a net, with
which they hope to drag the Iroquos Club
| whlthersoever the bosses may dictate.
1t Is badly mixed up affair all around,
| and upon the issues raised the club will
| probably split before many moons. In fact
| 1t may be said to have split already, and a
| good many designations may be looked for
| In the near future.
Nearly year ago committee was ap-
| pointed by the club to reorganize the Demo-
| cratic party. OF San Francisco. This COM
mittee multiplied AMI took unto itself the
| name of The General Committee of Reor-
| ganiZation of the Democratic Party of San
| francisco. 1t was not nourshed by the
| parent organization, which now refuses to
| recognize lis own offspring But it -four
! ished Just the same, and few days since
| submitted plan of reorganization and rec
| commended platform bristlng with alleged
reform.
This was generally looked upon as the
| report IF the original committee, but it now
transpires that the original committee has
made no report, but Will submit one at the
next meeting Of the club.
In anticipation of this report President j.
Y. Ruddock offered a resolution last evening
dlscialmlng any intention on the part of the
Iroquo5 Club to medde in local politics,
ana asking that the report when received
be flied without act ton and the committee
discharged. The resolution was referred to
the Standing Committee on Resolutions,
and In submitting it Mr.. Ruddock init
mated that the report referred to in the
resolutions might cause the club great
trouble.
c. l.. Weller strongly denounced the
action OF Mr.. Ruddock and charged him
win attempting TO dictate to the committee
as to how it should report.
From the discussion, it is evident that
there exists division on the question of re-
organization. Many of the members are in
favor of killing" the forthcoming report,
as the resolution proves, while others want
reorganization and desire to see the club a
prime factor in this move
Inc following nominations were made for
the annual election, which will be held at
the next meeting: President, c. L. Weller;
FIRST Vice President, L. V. Merle; Second
Vice-PresIdent, w. F Sawyer; Recording

A Plea of Once in Jeopardy Put in for
Him.
Judge Slack of the Superior Court has
taken under advisement for one week mo-
ton to set aside the information charging
George A. Johnson with grand larceny, also
a demurrer to the same.
johnson was shell-game manipulation
and known as "1ron-foot" johnson be-
cause of a metal extension of one of his
pedal eXtremities. He was originally
charged with having embeZZled $40 so from
John wilkins, tried. convicted ana sem
fenced to ten years Imprisonment after
which the Supreme Court set aside the
Judgment because the crime was not embez-
element but grand larceny.
A new Information charging Johnson
with grand larceny has now been fled, and
his attorney pleads to the same that having
once been in jeopardy his client cannot Ie
gally be tried again for the same offense.
