TED AND TOM.

Ted and Tom were brothers, born in the same
old farmhouse,
Played in the same green meadows, tished In
the same wild stream
Both chased the same red woodchuck, both
shirked in the same cornfeld,
Made love to the same schoolgirl, and dreamed
the same sweet dream.
Ted wandered of at twenty, passed the worlds
misty mountains,
And traced historic rivers through legendary
lands;
He sailed tempestuous oceans, by trailing
tropic islands,
Basked in irrguous vslleys and toiled through
desert sands.
Tom lived at home till eighty, moved the ances-
trail hayflelds,
And reaped his annual harvests, and watched
bis hens and bees
He toiled on in his birthplace until the mourn
ers bore him
To th hereditary graveyard beneath the maple
trees.
But Ted, he lived In dreamland and everywhere
he wandered
He saw the old green meadows, the waving
fields Of corn,
The big rock by the pine woods the buckle.
The red house in the valley-the house where he
was born.
Tom also lived in dreamland, and trod in misty
frances,
Through visionary mountains, and though leg.
ehdary lands;
He sailed through odorous oceans and passed
palm.fronded islands,
And heard the sounding surf.wash that broke
on savage strands.
Thus Ted and Tom were brothers, and lived Of
life companions,
Though evermore divided by sundering lands
and seas
Both roamed the earth together, both titled tn
ancestral acres,
Until both slept together beneath tn maple
trees.

TURNER AGAIN VICTORIOUS
He Defeats Hall in Twelve Rounds-A
Good Contest

He Defeats Hall i'll Twelve Rounds-A
Good Contest.
The much talked-of glove-contest be-
tween Charles Turner of Stockton and
William Hall of this city took place last
evening at the Clunie Opera House in the
presence of an immense crowd
The private boxes and stage seats were
occupied by members of the Legislature,
and with those who were scattered
through the auditorium, made up a full
quorum Of both houses
AS predicted the contest was one of the
cleverest and hardest-fought seen in Sac
ramento in many a day. The manage
ment and arrangements We're unusually
good, and there was no rOwdyiSm among
the spectators.
Prior to the main event of the evening
there were numerous clever set-tos be-
tween local and imported boxers, and
referee Dave Eiseman announced that the
winner of the TurnerHall contest would
be matched against the celebrated ''Blacl1
Pearr' of Minneapolis.
Hall and Turner appeared on the stage
ut 10 O'Clock with their seconds Little
time was lost in getting ready, and the
men were soon aiming their padded fists
at each others faces and bodies. In the
first round both men were cautious. but
IL.
round ended i'll his favor. The second
round was a repetition of the first.
The third round, however. was one of
the most exciting in the contest. and like
the first two, was in favor of Hall. After
two or three sharp exchanges at long
range, the men closed in and some des-
perate work was done at close rance
Turner was forced on the ropes and was
pretty well used up when time was called.
When the fourth round opened, Hall
essayed to follow up his advantage, and
rushed into close quarters again. and
some more desperate punching took place.
At the close OF the round both men were
groggy and distressed, and neither
seemed to have the advantage.
In the fifth round Turner seemed to
have entirely recovered, and for the first
time in the contest he began to use his
old-time tactics and science. He wasted
no more blows from now on, and every
one told severely upon his opponent. He
rushed Hall repeatedly, and in the sixth
round had him almost at his mercy. In
tie seventh, eighth and ninth rounds
both men fought at long range, and little
damage was done to either.
In the tenth round Hall woke
up, and for a time gave Turner
a severe drubbing. But the pace was too
much for him and he was soon on the
ropes again. 1t was evident in the elev-
eiltH IouLu tnaC dall was gone, but he
was game to the last and managed to get
in II few telling blows. Turner, however,
had matters his own way.
The twelfth and last round was charac-
terlzed by some hard hitting-wild on
Halls part, but telling on Turner's. Hall
tried hard to stay it out, but Turner kept
at him and finally put him out with a
blow on the side followed by another on
the jaw.
This is the second time Hall has been
defeated by Turner.

DANGEROUS PLACE.
A Deep Hole of Quicksand on the Riv.
erSile Road.

A Deep Hole of Qulcksand on the Riv-
erSile Road.
There is spot on the Riverside road
between this city and Sutterville that is
dangerous to life, and the utmost care
must be observed by persons travelling
that thoroughfare. The place has become
so soft from the rains and sipage water
that horses and vehicles go right through
into quicksand deposit.
Yesterday afternoon George Buck
man was riding on horseback
along the road, en- route from his
farm. when his horse went into the
quiclSsand up to his body and Buchanan
had great difficulty in getting him out.
man travelling in a buggy drawn by
a single horse got into the same hole, and
the horse disappeared until only his head
was visible. Some men were working on
the levee in the vicinity, but refused to
lond the traveller helping hand to save his
horse and buggy until he had paid them
several dollars.
The place should be bs3rcaded so that
men or horses should not lose their lives
by walking into it, or travel on the road

William Meyers, a brother of the de-
fendant, swore that the pistol with which
the shooting was done belonged to him.
He stated that it was his brother Louis
who was out hunting at noon time, and
not Cyrus.
Lonis Meyers swore that he went out to
shoot few loads out of his shotgun at
noon time on Friday. Cyrus was at
school.
III. f. Dillman and Assistant District
Attorney Buckley were called to the wit
ness stand by tho defense to prove the
REPUTATION OF FRANCISCO REYES
For honesty and veracity. They both
swore that it was exceedingly bad. At
torney Buckley had known him about
Ionr years and said that Reyes bore
a bad reputation.
Josie Meyers swore that ON Friday af-
ternoon her brother Cyrus came into the
house and went into the bedroom. He
returned in about an hour, and again
went into the bedroom. She presumed,
alter hearing of the shooting, that he got
the pistol when he went intoithe room.
Cyrus Meyers, the defendant, was
sworn as witness and told TO state how
the accident happened. He said he took
pistol from his house on Friday after
noon and went out TO shoot mud hens.
There We're five cartridges in it, and he
dischargedloDo of them at Fourteenth and
and fired second shot at a mudhen,
After discharging the third cartridge he
saw 11opa Sesma approaching.l They
talked together for a few minutes and a
fourth shot was fired at the ground. Cy-
rus then took the empty shells from the
chamber and threw them down. The
Sesma. boy wanted to try the pistol
and asked Cyrus to let him shoot at
mudhen. He was STOPPING to pick up
the empty shells when Cyrus reached out
to hand him the weapon. AT the same
instant 1t was discharged and Ylopa fell
to the ground. Cyrus then ran away,
and was so badly frightened that he was
| afraid to tell his sister what had hap
pened.
The witness stated that he and the
SeSma boy had always been friends and
were in the habit of playing together
every afternoon after school hours. The
shooting, he claimed, was purely acci-
dental, and he was very sorry it had hap
pened.
JUDGE CRAvENs' VIEWS.
The case was submitted without argu-
ment, by both sides, ard Judge Cravens
ordered that the defendant be discharged.
The Judge said he believed the shooting
was purely accidental and the result OF
carelessness. He could not give any
weight to the testimony Of the Spaniard,
Francisco Reyes, because it was very
conflicting throughout, and, he thought,
unreliable. AT best, it was an unfortu-
nate affair, and the only testimony there
was, inculpating the boy Meyers, was his
own statement.
Coroner Clark accounts for the verdict
OF the jury at the inquest, from the fact
that the Meyers boy was not allowed to
testify by his attorney, and there was but
little SAID concerning his confession, and
1t was overlooked.
