There has been deal of worrvin.
about the fact that the young women
of this country prefer single to mar

not so much to blame after all. There
are 3,00O,W0 men over thirty years of

never married, and as man proposes
the preference of so many men for
bachelor life has much to do with the

THE JURY DISAGREED.
LEAVING THE MYSTERY OF A
MEXICAN'S DEATH UNSOLVED.
A Peculiar Death which Recently o.
Icurred Near Gorman's Station.
Another Inquest to Be
Held.

Coroner Gates yesterday received
word from Justice of the Peace o. L.
Livesey at Paramount that he had a
very important case upon his hands, be-
ing nothing less than the investigation
into the mysterious death of Juan Cap
istrsno, near Germans station, several
days ago.
Capistrano and two other Mexicans
known as Juan and Francisco Milo.
were out together at Germans station,
being employed upon the La Libre
ranch as yaqueros. They we're drinking
considerably.
The Mexican was found dead on
Thureday. That morning Cspistrano
and the Milo brothers called at the
ranch OF w. f. Skinner, and. while
there, quarreled. Mr.. Skinner succeed
cd in persuading the mon to shake
hands and be friends again. Shortly
afterward they left together, all being
more or less under the influence of
liquor.
That evening the Milo brothers re-
turned to Mr.. SINNERS With Capistra-
NOS horse. and told him that Oapistra-
no had fallen from his horse and was
dying. Mr.. Skinner and another man
went to the scene and found the in
lured man in an unconscious condition.
He died next day.
Justice Livesey held an inquest but
the jury failed to agree as to the cause
OF death. some thinking that the
absence of the Milo brothers led
to the suspicion that they might
have injured Capistrano, for his
head was swollen and bruised. There
were no visible cuts or anything show
ing that he had been stabbed or shot.
The Milo brothers will be subp@naed
for further inquest to be held on June
Goth.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
A CALIFORNIA BOY.
Something of the PugiIistio Victories G
Joe Choynskf.

Something of the Pugilistto Victories of
Joe Cheynski.
Since Joe Choynski, the young Cali
fornia pugilist, made such a good fight
against Bob Fitzsimmons as Boston,
Tuesday night, brief interview with
him will be read with interest.
Choynski and Corbstt dawned upon
the pusiIistic world about the same
time, the battles between them being
the means of bringing both into prom
inence.
The story told by Choynski OF the first
meeting with Corbett 10 an interesting
one. He told it the other day to Boe
ton Herald man, just before he went
away to train. He admitted that he
was not away up in boxing at the time.
Oorbstt was older, taller, heavier and
longer In reach.
Choynski was told it was to be a
friendly bout for points, and he believed
it until he got a staggering blow in the
jaw which nearly put him out, and then
he sailed into the present champion and
pummelled him so good and hard and
strong that Corbett tottered to his chair
when the gong was sounded in about a
minute and half, instead of three min
utes, and it was all his seconds could do
to bring him around in time for the next
refund.
81 knew" said Joe, shat my only
hope was TO punch him hard. He came
at me and liked to have knocked my
head of at the outset, and l shut my
eyes, ran into him and beat him in the
short ribs with both hands until they
pulled me AWAY from him. | was puff
ing like locomotive. but it took two
men to assist Corbett to his corner.
II jumped ever the ropes and went to
the dressing room, and just as l reached
the top of the stairs the two men half
carried, half dragged Jim up the steps
with them, and that ie the way Corbett
beat me the first time we met with the
gloves.
They would render no dscision-if
they had they could have given it but
one way, and they did not want to give
it that way, as Corbett was boxing in
structor of the Olympic club at the
time"
The question as to whether Cboynski
and Fitzsimmons ever met has been
asked frequently of late. "Parson" Ds-
vies said that they put on the gloves
once in San Francisco when Fitzsim-
mons was training. 1t was supposed to
be friendly bout, but Bob showed
disposition to make it otherwise, and
they had it hot and heavy.
II did not see it," said Davies, "but
have been told that Choynski got ell
over him. and was by far the harder
hitter. They met another time in o
friently set.to in New Orleans"
