vember 26th, articles of agreement were
signed by 7. G. Morris OF this city and
James Quirk of Brantford, Canada, Tor
match footrace for rs yards, the same to
be run over the Santa Ana track, Decem-
ber 10th. Mr.. Quirk's hackers, j. l..
Black and G. Yandorf, deposited $4,000
check with J. G. Hickey as forfeit, the
same to be covered by like amount by
Morris hackers. Yesterday word was
received from I. H. Hunt of kedlands
that he wished the stakeholder changed
to the First National bank. j. l.. Black
and C. Yandorf were telegraphed in re-
gard to the change, which they readily
agreed to. They, accompanied by Mr..
Quirk, came down from Los Angeles on
the afternoon train and met Morris at
the Brunswick hotel last evening and
made the transfer of stakeholder. A
special agreement was drawn up, stating
that the referees decision was final and
the money must be paid over to the
winner upon his order. There was a
report circulated upon the street yester-
day afternoon that the race had fallen
through, as Mr.. Quirk had decided
to not run in Santa Ana, as he
did not think he would get
q fair deal, but upon inquiry
it was found to be a canard. The match
is made and will be run as agreed. Mr..
Quirk informed the HERALD correspond
ent that he was fully satisfied that he
would be treated as fair in the future
as he had been in the past. He said he
was almost carried away with Southern
California, and only hoped he could
win this race, go he would be enabled
to locate here.
UNDOUBTEDLY STOLEN.
Last evening James Brown, trackman
at the Santa Fe depot, saw two men
breaking open large valise to get at
the contents. Suspecting something was
wrong, he stepped over where the vags
were at work, but did not get chance
to talk with them, as they had vanished,
leaving the grip. He brought the valise
and its contents to the marshal's Office,
who, upon a careful examination, found
o number of ladies' dresses of very fine
quality, besides splendid wardrobe
in underwear, hose, silk dress goods,
etc. The tramps had undoubtedly
stolen the articles and had not had
time to rifle the contents OF the grip.
