New YoRK, Aug. 22.-Madison Square
garden was jammed tonight with .
crowd eager to witness several boxing
exhibitions. Dixon and Plimmer were
of course the drawing card. Among
other bouts was one between Con Cough
lin, Irish heavyweight, and Con Riordan
of San Francisco. Riordan knocked
Coughlin out in 6S seconds. Joe Wal
cott Of Boston laid Jack Hall of Aus.
tralia out in Is seconds.
Then came the event Of the night.
Dixon went at his man vigorously, but
found Plimmer on deck right along.
In the second round Plimmsr kept
jabbing his left in Dixon's face and
forced the colored boy to keep q sharp
look out. Dixon did not appear to be
able to land, though he made some Wig
orous left-hand swings, while Plummer
kept smashing him where he pleased.
In the third round, Plimmer kept up
his clever work and got away from Dix
on's smashes with astonishing facility.
Every time Dixon led, Plimmer not
only avoided the blow, but went back at
him, blow for blow. setting the audience
wild.
In the fourth round Plimmer gave
Dixon the best fight he has had since he
met Cal Mccarthy. He fought Dixon
all over the ring and when the bout was
finished, the crowd was In state OF
frenzy. When the referee gave the de-
cision to Plimmer, pandemoDium broke
looee and Plimmer was carried on the
shoulders of the crowd around the hall.

REDDING, CAL, Aug. 22.-About l
O'Clock today, Mrs. ]. J. Kameen, wife
of the superintendent Of the Hidden
Treasure mine, near Iron mountain, was
returning from. Shasta, whore she had
been to get money which she expected,
but did not receive. When in sight OF
the mine tramp jumped ont from the
bushes, stopped her horse and seized
her. dragging her out Of the buggy and
demanding the money. She resisted,
and quite an encounter took place. Mrs.
Kameen is . large, fine-looking woman,
but proved no match for the robber, who
hit her with his fists and almost tore
her clothes from her body,
severely iniuring her. He then
took what money she had,
also gold watch, and, leaving her pros.
trate, got into the buggy and drove to-
ward Shasta short distance, then un-
hitched the horse and rode to the Welsh
place, two miles from Shasta, where he
tied the horse and took to the brush.
Mrs. Kameen managed to get to the
mine, where her story was told, and .
tolopnOno message was sent here for
medical assistance. Sheriff Ross and
Constable Sebring Immediately went out
in search of the robber. In fact, the
woods are full OF miners, and II be es-
capes 1t will be wonder. The officers
have good description of him, but II
the miners catch him be will possibly 70

by lion not long ago while riding home

From later reports it appears that the
assault on Mrs. Kameey was not for the
purpose OF robbery, but that the villain
tried to ravish her, pulling her clothes
almost off and beating her. Being a
large, powerful woman, she succeeded
In frustrating his purpose. When he
left her she ran two miles to water
tank near the mine, where che fainted..
Those at the mine seeing her at dis
tance, came to her relief. The man is
supposed to be q fellow who tried to get
work at the mine few days before, but
failed. Great excitement prevails, and
il be is caught he will certainly be
lynched.

a Good Outlook for Antelope Valley
Farmers.
Lancaster Gazette: About 130 car
loads Of wheat have been shipped from
here this season thus far. We estimate
that the close OF the season will show
shipment of about 450 carloads. A car
averages about 275 sacks and each sack
averages about 100 pounds. There is q
little cutting to be done yet in the ex-
treme western part of the valley. but
most OF it is done and the teams are
started to hauling. There are now about
about. 200 head of horses and mules
daily drawing grain to Lancaster. In a
general way each horse or mule pulls
from ten to twelve sacks. From az far
out as Beucler's, grain is being hauled
at 81. 80 per ton, but from the extreme
west end $4 per ton is being charged.
The price OF grain is extremely low.
II takes a good quality OF grain to bring
80 cents a central. Two years ago it
was worth 81. 40 to $3.50. ALI feel that
the price is sure to go up; many are
storing their wheat, but many more are
Obliged to cell for what they can get to
meet their obligations. A good crop
with low price puts the farmers in q
better condition than good prices and

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

Monotonous Finance Discussion-Other
Busin ess.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The financial
discussion in the house today was for
the most part rather monotonous.
The speaker laid before the house a
communication from the secretary Of the
treasury, in response to resolution of
the house asking for information rela-
tive to the purchase and coinage of silver
under the Sherman act. Ordered
printed.
~ On motion OF Loud of California, the
senate bill was passed admitting free of
duty all articles intended for exhibition
at the California midwinter international
exposition.
johnson (Dem.) of Ohio asked unani-
nous consent for the introduction of his
bill to permit the exchange of United
States bonds for treasury notes. There
was no objection, and the bill was re-
ierred to the committee on banking and
currency, with leave to report at any
time after the special order.
The silver debate was resumed and
Bricken (Dem.) of Wisconsin addressed
the house in favor of the repeal OF the
purchasing clause OF the Sherman act.
Hopkins OF Illinois favored uncondi-
tional repeal, stating that although he
came from an agricultural district, he
would oppose every free coinage amend
ment to be proposed by Bland and his
friends.
The surprise Of the day was the speech
of Hepburn. He disagreed with his
party colleagues and emphatically de-
clared against the repeal OF the Sherman
law. That law. he contended, was ben
efcisl in its effects and should not be
repealed.
Lane OF Illinois spoke in support OF
free coinage.
Newlands Of Nevada voiced the de-
mand OF his region and vigorously advo-
Gated free coinage of silver.
Bynum advocated the Wilson bill and
highly eulogized the action OF Secretary
Carlisle for his refusal to Issue bonds.
The United States could not open its
inints if the mints of all other civilized
nations were closed againet it.
Jones of Virginia opposed the uncon-
ditional repeal of the purchasing clause
and favored free coinage.
A recess till 8 p. m. was then taken.
At the evening session Ellis, Demo-

coinage.

EDITORS HERALD: The Arizona Daily
Gazette of August 18th had the follow
ing: "Some fool correspondent in
Phoenix writes to the Los Angeles
HERALD that workingmen be advised to
stay away from this city, as more men
are here now than can find employ
ment, and that many are selling their
tools in order to get money on which to
leave"
If said correspondent is fool it is be-
cauee he stated the exact facts. The
Gazette and other papers, working no
doubt in the interest Of real estate men,
have been devoting much Of their space
to publishing exaggerated accounts OF
the wonderful prosperity and progress
of Phoenix and its surroundings. The
tales told by the Gazette would lead one
to believe that we were possessed OF an
Aladin's Lamp or some other magic

erected, when, as a matter OF fact, not
more than 20 buildings OF all classes
have ever been in course of construction
in this town at one time during the
seven years that have lived here.
These articles in the Gazette simply
create disgust in the minds of the people
here. aside from the real estate man.
But the injury that was done by them is
incalculable. For months our streets
were lined with mechanics from all
quarters, who came here expecting to
find employment, which Of course they
could not do, and many of them had not
money enough to pay their way out
again, or even to buy sufficient food.
Naturally, these men worked for low
wages, because live they must and to

Bert Barnes is q jovial, good fellow
who plays the part Of linemsn for the
Sunset Telephone company in this city.
The other day he was sent to the San
Fernando valley to make repairs on the
line.
He had climed to the pinnacle Of q
telephone pole where the wind whistled
through his chin appendages like unto
a desert sandstorm. He was alone, and
never dreame of visitor like the one
that came to him.
Finishing the repairing, he started to
descend. A scream OF unusual harsh
ness, shrill and deafening, broke the
lonely air. Looking around, Mr.. Barnes
was startled to see an American eagle OF
Immense size swoop down toward him.
Dropping everything but his hold and
claw-hammer, Mr.. Barnes prepared for
the inevitable.
He stuck his "climbers" to the pole
more firmly. Securing death grip hold
upon the hammer, he awaited the giant
birds attack. The eagle darted fercely
upon him.
just az the bird was making the sec.
ond attack, Mr.. Barnes, with the agility
OF q man on terra firma, struck blow
that would have done credit to Sioux.
But he got his game. The eagle fell to
the ground wounded. and Mr.. Barnes,
who, by the way, is an Englishman, ex-
claimed:
"That's one time l got the best Of the
American eagle"
Mr.. Barnes retired from his high perch
and captured the bird. which soon re-
covered from the shock. He brought
his big game home yesterday, and now
exhibits it as living testimonial Of his

followed her and urged her to return to

he made threats against her life. Stewart
