IT is now disclosed that the report
that the Pacific Mail has settled its diff
ferences with the Panama railroad and
will resume control of the isthmus route
is without the slightest foundation. 1t
was apparently given to the public for
the sole purpose of shaking confidence in
the North American Steamship company
and making it difficult for the new line
to secure contracts with shippers. 1t is
evident that the transcontinental roads
are ready to resort to desperate measures
to break down the formidable opposition
arrayed against them.

A PRIZE FIGHT ON THE QUIET.
Also About the Shortest on
Record.
Jack Frazer Of This City and Patter-
son of San Francisco Meet.
Tho Local Man Too Much for the North
erner-Patterson Knocked Out In
So Soconds-stroDg In
fighting Did 1t.

About the shortest prize fight on rec
ord was fought in this city yesterday
morning between l and 2 O'Clock. The
Knockout blow, which was about the
fifth one exchanged during the fight,
was delivered in 58 seconds.
The contestants were Jack Frazer OF
this city and fellow hailing from San
Francisco named Patterson. The local
man was the victor in short order. Pat
terson was also called Raymond. but
was known by the former name to the
majority of the crowd.
The fight took place in vacant brick
store back Of Joe Soto's old athletic es-
tablishment on Buena Vista street, in
Sonoratown. The place was fenced in,
and had the police been onto the mill
and been inclined to have raided the
scene Of the battle, almost every one of
the spectators and participants would
have been nabbed.
AS it was, everything passed along
smoothly for all, with the probable ex-
ception of Mr.. Patterson, or Raymond,
LAS you please.)
There were about rs persons present,
including, besides liberal number of
the sporting element of the city. a fair
sprinkling Of men about town and lovers
of the noble art, etc.
Mr.. Tommy Smith OF local fame acted
as referee. Tom McGuiley held time for
Patterson and George Arbuckle for Fra
zer. Two-and-a-h half.ounce gloves were
used. The spectators were soon COL
leGted, and Frazer and Patterson stripped
and got to work.
Both seemed to be in good condition
and went at in decidedly lively style.
Patterson was taller than his opponent
and had longer reach. Frazer, how
ever, was strong and confident. The To-
cal man is shifty, clever pugilist, and
his abilities as an infghter are unusu-
ally good.
From the first Patterson rushed his
man, ladding heavily on Frazer's face,
staggering him somewhat. The Los An
geles man rallied Immediately, however,
and sailed in, forcing in fighting. Within
the twinkling of an eye Patterson was
hoored by stiff upper cut. He pulled
himself together and went at it again,
but was floored second time. When
he arose after the second fall he was
rather groggy. Finally Frazer stepped
away and landed strong right handler
on Patterso-'s chin, ending the fight.
1t was clean knock out, and the Los
Angeles man was warmly congratulated.
The fight is thought to have been the
outcome of previous quarrel between
the two men.

"ABoUT THE NEWS"

Few Words About q Boastful Con-
temporary's Deception.
The silly SEASON is here, for the First
street contemporary OF yesterday bore
unmistakable signs of its advent. 1t
claimed in the issue referred to that it's
local department had really chronicled
some scoops being initiative Of the
HrRALD's feature q weekly noting its
extensive news features. =
1t is just as wen to, Be hones in the
newspaper business as ia others. and
the HERALD in its claims has always
been straightforward, truthful, and made
no attempt to be evasive,. wrigghng or
abusive. The statement published in
the First-street contemporary yesterday
partakes of all these qualities.
For example, it says that on Wednes-
day, July 18th (sic9, it published an &C.
count of the meeting of the Pacific
branch of the Woman's Foreign Mission
ary society. It did not print any such
item on that day and date, because the
18th was Saturday. But on Thursday,
the 18th, it did print an account of the
meeting named, and the HERALD did
likewise, under the following heading:
Missionary Misunderstanding Of the Pa
ci6c Branch of the Foreign Society.
So much for that false claim.
But not content with one baseless as
sertion, the ofense is repeated for the
claim Is made that on July IA, the First
street contemporary bad an exclusive
account of a collision between the
steamer Santa Rosa with the steamer
Governor Ames at Redondo.
To put it politely the Times in that
claim asserts what is not true.
The HERALD of the same day had
statement of the affair from the Re-
donda correspondent.
So much for that false claim.
The same Disregard for cold facts ap-
pears in another claim for the date Of
Wednesday, July Is (sic), in an item in
reference to the final decree in the
Gable road cases, in which it stated that
Frank J. Thomas had been named as
commissioner.
The item in question appeared on
Thursday, July 18th, and was incor-
rect in that Mr.. Thomas was not named
commissioners until the next day. The
HERALD OF the 18th contained all the
facts of the case.
The HERALD of Sunday contained an
honest bonafide list of 18 scoops which
had been secured during the week of
great importance, including such news
as Comptroller Eckles' permission to
the Southern California bank to reopen,
the farewell ceremonies to General Nc
Cook, an interview with Governor Mark
ham on his arrival from Chicago, the
plans for the normal school new build

DRUMMOND'S PRESS.
HE APPEARS TO HAVE USED IT As
SECURITY ONCE TOO OFTEN,
The Antelope Valley Newspaper Man
Z" ~ Held to Answer on a Serious
Charge-The Allegations
In the Affair.

"They were in politics and couldn't
afford to press me. l considered it in
the light OF a contribution and never
had the faintest idea of paying them"
s. A. Drummond, the author of the
above remark, appears to be remark
ably slick individual.
In December, 1890, he was editing the
Antelope Valley News at Lancaster.
Mr.. Drummond, at that time was in
need OF funds, and being a man of re-
source he went to Gen. E. P. Johnson
and Mai. d. W. Field and asked them
to 20 on his note for 5000.
As security he gave them.a mortgage on
couple Of prin ting presses, valued at
about $1100.
Unfortunately, it appears that the
printing presses did not belong to Mr.
Drummond. but were only leased to him
by Palmer & Rey of San Francisco.
Yesterday Mr.. S.. A. Drummond was
examined by Justice Seaman on a
charge of felony and held over in
bonds of $500 to await trial.
1t appeared from the evidence that
when the note came due Messrs. John.
son and Field had to pay 1T, and 1t was
then they found out that the mortgaged
property belonged to the San Francisco
peopole, and consequently could not be
realized upon. IstsA
The matter was put in the hands Of
Attorney G. B. Lsdd, who endesvored
to collect the 5000, but only met with
remarks similar TO the above.
But General Johnson and Major Field
were not the only sufferers by the crafty
editor. After mortgaging the press to
them it is claimed that he sold it to G.
S. Ladd, promising to keep up the pay
ments due to Messrs. Palmer & Rey,
who sold him the property on terms OF
$50 q month payments.
Laid gave him $500, but then Drum
moEtlss payments ceased, land Palmer &
Rey swooped down on the Antelope Val.
ley News and carried off their press.
Naturally all three gentlemen feel
aggrieved, and Ladd swore to o COM
plsint of felony against Mr.. s. A. Drum.
mond, with the result that that gentle
man was held for trial, as already
stated. sa S. ,-fAt7 ~.

TIE SUPERVISORS TREAT 1T WITH
REMARKABLE LENIENCY.
Its Assessment Raised But Very Small
Amount-Result of tho Ses-
sions as Board OF
- Equalization.

BY dint of hard work the board of
supervisors late yesterday afternoon
finished up it's labors as board Of
equalization Of County Assessor Gray's
work.
The complaints made to the board
were about 200 in number and were
nearly all upon small holdings Of real
estate. The work of equalization re.
suited in the raising of some assess
ments made by the county assessor and
the reduction of others.
While the totals have not been made
it is the opinion OF both Chairman Cook
and Assessor Gray that the aggregate
amount of the assessment as equalized
will not vary more than $4,000 from
that made by the assessor.
The assessment made by Mr.. Gray
upon the real and personal property of
the county amounted to $74, ,736, ,067,
which was an increase Of 1901 ,205 over
the assessment OF last year. An in
crease or reduction of 10000 will not
make much of hole in this aggregate
hnOuuG.
The board decided to raise the assess
ment on the Sunset Telephone and Tel.
egraph company, although they did not
comply to any great extent with the re-
quest OF the district attorney to raise
them to 1908, 600. What they did do was
to assess the franchise OF the company
for $4,000, and allowed the figures OF
the county assessor upon the property
of the company to remain as they were.
In conversation with Mr.. Gray, he in
formed HERALD reporter that he was
very much surprised that the number
Of complaints were go small. He also
said that there had been only one or
two kicks from corporations. He did
not think the boards work would, In
fact, make difference of $4,000 in the
aggregate, although he could only guess
at il until the totals were made.

RAMIsH,s EGGS.
A Supreme Court Decision in tho
Case.

A Supreme Court Decision in tho
Case.
An opinion was received yesterday for
filing from the supreme court by Deputy
Clerk Sesnon in the case Of A. Rsmish,
respondents, vs.. Kirschbaum & Sons,
reversing the Judgment and order of the
superior court of Los Angeles county.
This 10 the second time the case has been
to the supreme court, and the second
time the superior court has been re-
versed.
The plaintiff, Mr.. Ramish, purchased
a carload Of eggs from defendants in
Omaha, to be delivered in Los Angeles.
They arrived ] Juiy 9Th, but owing, as it
WAS claimed, to- the negligence Of the
defendants, the plaintiff was unable to
secure possession of them until July
18th. In the meantime the price OF
eggs dropped. and the action was
brought to recover damages upon fail
ure to deliver on the 9Th Of July.
Upon the question as to the measure
of damages, the trial court instructed
the jury as follows:
-lU.lf your verdict be for the plaintiff,
you should then, of course, estimate the
amount OF damages, and in estimating
the amout OF damages, the rule should
be the difference between what the eggs
cost plaintiff by the terms of the con.
tract and the value of the eggs to him
at time and place where they ought to
have been delivered by the terms OF the
contract. The value to him at that
time and place was the market value at
that time and place.
The supreme court in it's opinion SAYS
that this instruction did not state the
true rule of damages in case OF this
character. The cost price of the eggs
was an immaterial element in the case.
II that be the correct rule, then the
value of the eggs at the time they were
actually received by the plaintiff would
be an immsterial element and the evil
dence to that inquiry not within the
issue. aaz sa gf1 s.sfs :. N s-s,,si.
But the court holds that the contrary
is the fact, and dissemination as to
the value on July 14th, the day when
the eggs were actually received, is alb
solutely necessary in order that the
plaintiffs damages might bs properly
estimated. They might have been of a
greater value July 14th than Jufy 9th,
and then the plaintiff would not have
suffered any damage, but. would have
been greatly benefited by the delay in
delivery; yet under the instructions Of
the court, he might have been entitled
to the amount OF damages awarded by
the jury. N The Judgment and order are
reversed and the cause remanded for q
new trial.

special plea by an attorney, and the
others were OF little Importance.
The HERALD Gid not go out of the way
to draw insidious comparisons and
stated simply the facts. The public can
draw Its own conclusions.ss
The real trouble with the Times is its
behindtlmes qualities. The hERALD's
editorial columns of the issue of the
18th instant pictured the condition OF
that paper as follows:
1t goes greatly against our Grain to
suggest anything that might make the
Times lose its conceit as q news gath
erer. Probably the readers of the HER
AID noticed in yesterday mornings
issue the full and complete account of
the banquet given to General McCook
and his staff at the Hotel Redondo,
Monday night. OF this elegant affair
there was not word in our contempo-
rary, the Los Angeles Times, of yester-
day. Instead occurred the extraor-
dinary announcement: "The farewell
banquet to General McCook at
the Hotel Redondo this evening
wilt be largely attended from this
CITY," What has struck our esteemed
contemporary Is it paresis or
structural degeneration, or what? 1t is
to be hoped that very few of its read
ers started down to Redondo Tuesday
evening to attend banquet that came
off Monday night, and which was 30 fully
reported in the HERALD of Tuesday
morning. People who care to know
what's what will probably consider that
If they wish the news of the day they
would do we'll to seek it in the columns
OF the Los Angeles HERALD, journal
which announces banqnet to distin-
guished man as coming off Tuesday night
that really came off the night before will
probably not be regarded as very valu-
able orgsf, of social or news intelligence.
Our sympathy with our contemporary is
so great that we could half wish that the
banquet could be held over again, 30
that 1t might not be found guilty of dis
courtesy to General McCook and his gal
laut associates. The departure from our
midst OF such specially acceptable peo-
pie should not remain uncommemor-
atad
