AT THE RINGsIDE.

/ p. IN. The arena already contains
about one thousand sports who have
made the journey from the city to the
fair grounds in boats, street cars, car.
rlages and every other kind of con-
veyance. Neither Of the principals has
yet arrived but the managers do NOT
entertain the slightest fear of inter.
ference. Corbett is hot favorite, but
the betting has practically been brought
to a close.
A large force Of city police is or
hand, but there are no military men
in sight, Notwithstanding the cut rate
offered to the visiting rinemen by the
club. The assemblage is remarkably
quiet and erpectant.
1I5 p. m. The platform is of the
regular pattern, the inside of the stakes
through which the ropes run being
heavily padded. On the edge of the
platform, and at distance of about
three feet from the ring is a strong
barbed wire fence. Workmen are busy
making arrangements for lighting the
enclosure with gasoline. should the con-
test be prolonged. Only about one-half
of tn eenclosure is rooted. and unless
the rain, which has been falling all
morning, ceases, the majority of the
spectators will be drenched
1870 p. m. One of the spectators with
a Strong western accent arose in his
place and shouted that a gentleman
here wanted to bet herd of 1000 cat
tie against $4,000 that Corbett will win.
Instantly some one shouted from the

cattle!' There was a shout of laugh
ter and the first speaker subsidized. The
crowd is now pouring in, and the at
tendance bids fair to be very large.

THE MEN APPEAR.

A carriage has just driven up and
the excitement is at fever heat. Here
is Corbett.
The spectators arose as one man and
greeted him with tremendous applause
as he stepped on the platform and
shook hands with Billy Madden. He
is 'enveloped in a bath robe, and walk
ed around the platform, evidently test
ing its frmness. Madden announced
the names of the seconds in a very low
tone to the newspaper men.
2:15 p. m Mitchell has just arrived
His reception was almost equal to that
extended to Corbett. He smiled as he
entered the ring, and eyed his oppo'
nent curiously. Both men are burnt
brown by the southern sun, and lool'
tanned to perfection. Referee Kelly

SEVERAL AMENDMENTS LOST

Associated Press.

Washington. Jan. 25.-The democratic
opponents of the income tax, who be-
lieve the internal revenue bill will be
offered as an amendment to the tariff
bill, are determined to make a fight
against 1t. So when the house CON
vened this morning and the journal
was read, Cochran, OF New York, made
the point that there was no quorum.
On the roll call the democrats who
were opposed to the income tax de-
clined to answer to their names but
the quorum appeared nevertheless. The
house went into committee Of the whole
on the tariff. Wilson moved to close
the debate on the amendments rela-
tive to the free cotton machinery.
Cochran filibustered but the motion
prevailed,
Large numbers OF democrats in the
house believe that the adoption of the
income tax as part of the tariff bill
will result in the defeat of the entire
measure.
Terry's amendment placing agricul-
tural implements on the free list was
lost. IS to 1O5.
The house committee on Indian af-
fairs was addressed today by Thomas
Donaldson special agent Of the census
bureau, who recommends the abolition

ArTEMpTED BURGLARY.
How John Henrickson Left a Mark on
Thiefs Hand.


Monday morning between and
o'clock an unsuccessful attempt was
made to burglarize the saloon of Olof
and John Henrickson, on the extension
of Chenamus street, near the Gilmore
cannery The propnetors had been
robbed once before, and they were on
the lookout for the thief, who now
carries an unpleasant reminder Of Vthe
consequences of his cupidity. About
the hour named, John Henrickson
heard some one insert a key in the
door, but having the lock secured
with "catch," he remained quiet and
waited developments Several keys
were tried, when the would-be robber
kicked In panel and pushed his arm
Through in AN effort TO reach the
"catch." This was the opportunity
the PROPRIETOR wanted Standing near
the door with stout poker raised
over his shoulder, he struck a powerful
blow across the intruder's knuckles.
The hand was withdrawn and a groan
announced that If arrested identifica'
tion of the burglar would be made
pretty certain. The Henrickson Broth
ers then sent a couple of friends up
town to learn IL anyone called at the
Offices Of the physicians for surgical
aid, and their shrewdness was reward
ed by the discovery that DR.. M. NJ
Walker had been called about 3 O'Clock
by man who wanted badly crushed
hand repaired. They believe they know
the man, and that he is the same party
who on o previous occasion robbed
their saloon Of $40. II Is probable that
an arrest will be made today.

city He is quartered at the Everett.
Corbett is believed to be in town also,
but his whereabouts are kept secret.
Work on the seats at the arena is ac-
lively progressing this morning. and
everything will be in readyness at noon.
Mitchell appears in the pink of con-
dition, and there is better disposition
to back him this morning. Thirty to
100 are the figures quoted by his adj
mirlers' Corbett is still invisible, and
all sorts Of rumors are flying around as
to the cause Of his non-appearance. The
Ocala rifles remain in town, and the
club seems jubilant over the court vic
tory, and offered TO admit the militia
men to the arena at the reduced price
of $40 each for those who may present
themselves.
Corbett has just arrived. He came
from Mayport, and was accompanied
by Mrs. Cofbett, Brady, Delaney, and
Johnny Ward. In answer to an in
quiry as to Jim's condition, the cap
tain of the New York Club pronounced
the champions condition to be first
class, and declared him fit to fight the
battle Of his life. The party entered
carriages in waiting and were driven
to secluded quarters in the vicinity of
the arena. The crowd of people are
already moving toward the fair grounds

PICKED THE LOSERS.
Why Clarence w. Dunn Failed to Keep
Marriage Engagement.
Chaplain to seamen.


The Oregonian yesterday published
the following sensational story, dated
San Francisco January gath: For
several days the police have been
working on a hair-curling tale OF rob
berry told by Clarence w. Dunn,
young fellow who claims to be a pri-
vate detective and who halls from Los
Angeles. A mysterious letter found on
a street in Chinatown directed the
police to a dark room in a Chinese
gambling den. There they found the
young man handcuffed to a heavy
piece Of furniture and helpless. He
oold his rescuers he had been drugeed
in a Chinatown den, robbed of $500 and
then imprisoned where they found him.
Dunn was locked up and the chief OF
detectives finally succeeded in sweat
Ing from him confession that he had
lost $500 at the races and that he then
dropped the letter on the street, locked
himself up, put on the handouts and
concocted the wild tale of the robbery
to explain the loss Of the money. He
was to have been married Saturday
night to Miss Dora Pennington, OF AS
roria, Or, and IL was to furnish a
plausible excuse for the postponement
Of the wedding that he resorted to the
wild Chinatown escapade. Dunn proves
to be the man who was responsible
for the flight Of Mamie Smith, a little
girl, from a private school in Los
Angeles, May IS last He claimed to
be a cousin Of the girl, whose parents
live at Alpena, South Dakota. After
he had been forbidden to visit her at
the school he inveigled her away and
brought her to this city. The girl dis
appeared mysteriously and the case at
tracted a great deal Of attention.
Nothing was heard Of her until her
death in a hospital about 100 miles
from Alpena, $. d., where she went to
hide her shame"
Inquiry by an Historian reporter yes
terday developed the fac THAT but one
Dora Pennington ever resided in this
city, and her name figures in the rec
ords OF the county jail.

1t was this way: Mr.. j. H. Nc
Ginley came down from Mt. Home to
see his wife at Jenkins creek, from
whom he has been separated for some
time. He tried to induce her to re-
turn to him, SO it is said, and she re-
fused. He then took one of their
children, little boy, and bundled off
with it to Weiser to board the train
to Mt Home. Train was an hour
and half late, which gave the wo-
man, who had hustled into town after
him to try and get the child back,
time to get out warrant for his ar
rcst on the charge of threatening her
life. This prevented him from leav-
ing that day and the next morning
he appeared before Judge Coakley
and was discharged, there being no
evidence against him. That after
noon the woman, with the other child,
boarded the same train and followed
him to Mt. Home
