thOrltes were unable to prove the charge
until morning. Several large errors were
discovered. but Sivey persisted that every
thing would be right when the bank opened
in the morning.

shows total shortage Of S7100. He was
under $4,000 bonds TO the Postmaster, his
mother ia Chicago and a prominent bust

FOUL FIGHTING.
Exciting Finish of Contest Between
MOrriSey and Mahan.

SACRAMENTO. Feb. Billy Mahan Of
San Francisco and Jimmy Morrisey of this
city fought here tonight at Armory Ball.
II was fierce fight from the moment the
men toed the scratch. Morrisey had the
best of 1t up to the sixth round, when he
nearly had Mahan out, getting in three
blows to Mahan's one.
After that Morrsey began to get tired.
Still Mahsn could not put him out. In the
eighth round Morrisey led for MahaD, who
ducked and caught his weak opponent on
the shoulder aud then raised up straight
and threw Morrisey over his head.
Morrisey fell heavily on his head and
shoulders and had the breath knocked out
of him so he could not rise. The crowd
yelled foul" and broke into the ring. and
had il not been for the police Mahan and
his seconds would probably have been
driven out. Tom Norton, the referee, gave
the fight to MahaD. but one of Morrisey's
seconds declared the referee had money
bet on MahaB. The result created great
excitement, and but very few persons were
found who upheld either Mahan's style OF
fighting or the referees decision.
