NO CONTEST.
The Kemmick-Peckham Fight De-
clared Fake.


clared a Fake.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-The much
talked-of welter-weight fight between
Charlie kemfniek of Minneapolis and
Peckham of Bradford, Pa, drew a large
crowd to the quarters of the Pacific Club
tonight. 1t had been announced that the
winner would be matched against the
winner of the Ryan-N eedham contest for
the welter-weight championship of
America, and the long list of victories of
each man added further interest to the
event tonight. The men were matched
at al pounds, with limit of two pounds
additional, but it is understood that they
weighed in at las pounds each. Betting
shortly before the fight was at odds of $50
TO S14, with Kemmick the favorite.
Billy Smith Of Australia and Dick
Graham seconded Kemmick. Tim Me-
Grath, Billy Smith of Boston and George
Lavigane seconded Peckham. The purse
was 81 $780, Time was called at 9:l0.
Some light sparring was done in the
first round, followed by Peckham drop
ping on his hands couple of times near
the ropes in evading Kemmick's right.
In the second round Peckham landed
both hands on Kemmick's head, who
stood with his hands down. Peckham
Rugged the ropes, but made a number Of
left leads for kemmick's chest. KEN
mick scored his left in the wind and on
the point of the jaw, Peckham slipping.
In the third round Kemmick dropped
Peckham with left in the wind, and
then threw him. In the clinch Peckham
made number of wild leads, and sud
denly caught a left on the Jaw that
dropped him. He lay nine seconds.
When he rose Kimmick again drove his
left on the jaw, and the Bradford man
again went down on his face and staid
until counted out. He was dragged to
his chair by his seconds amid the hooting
of the audience.
President Dougherty took the stage and
announced that the club was satisfied that
the fight had been put up." Referee
Sullivan'S announcement that he declared
the fight no contest was greeted with
cheers.
Drs. O'Donnell and Taylor, upon re-
quest of President Dougherty, made an
examination of Peckham while the crowd
waited. They reported Peckham in per-
feet condition and announced to the club
that they had no hesitation in saying that
the fight was faxed on the latter's part.
Kemnnick was seen in the dressing room,
and said that he would meet Peckham for
anything the club would give. He ex-
pressed himself as disguised with the
outcome of his matches in San Francisco,
and claimed this was the second one that
he had been jobbed out of. Kemmick
was previously matched TO meet McCann
at the California Club, but the match was
declared off, Mccain being too much
over weight. President Dougherty stated
in an interview later, that he would not
give either man another match or any
thing of the purse.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-Meager news of a
terrible disaster in the North Sea, by

Forest Queen came into collision off
Marlborough, on the North Sea, the For

rushed through the breaches made in her

to settle, and in very short time plunged
to the bottom. So quickly did the Forest

chance to save their lives, and all hands,
with the single exception of the Captain,

D. 0. Mills, the leading stakeholder in
the concern, has contemplated an extern
sion of the line for several years. 1t is
believed that he has been led to finally
decide upon the important step because
of the strong indication that another COM
pany-the Rio Grande Western-would
reach down through Nevada and connect
with the Southern Pacific. He will fore
stall this by building the road himself,
and will be first in the field, as it would
take long time for the Rio Grande
Western to reach California. The Carson
and Colorado Railroad runs from point
on the line of the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad known as Mound House, and
the line is over one-half in Nevada and
the rest in this State.
The company has had very prosper
GUS year, and 1t is in better condition than
ever to extend its line to Mojave.
