BOXED FOR THE TROPHY,
A Spirited Four-Round Contest at 'he
Acme Athletic Club,
Oakland.

The Acme Athletic Club of Oakland
gave an excellent exhibition OF wrestling
and boxing last evening, which marked
the last entertainment under the old board
of directors. The attendance was large
and the contests spirited several of them
showing considerable science.
The boxing preliminaries consisted OF
three-round contests between James FOX
of the AGNES and Louis Paine of the
Sacramento Athletic Club; Edward Sulli-
van and George Curtis, both of the Olym-
pic Club Eugene Kelly and Frank Raphael
OF the San Francisco Athletic Club; George
Bates of the San Francisco Athletic Club
and Frank Gilbert of the Acme ;.Joe Fields
and James Come, both Acme men; IL.
Vaccine of the Olympic and Morris Lea
(unattached); William Hughs of the Acme
and George Van Buskirk of the Olympic;
Charles Tie and L. Stamberg, both OF the
Acme.
J. III. Mcmahon of the Olympic Club and
J. f. Delaney of the Acmes, both entering
the ring at 124 pounds, were then intro
duced. Jack Kitchen ofsthe AGNES acted
as referee, and Frank Cerrine of the Rell-
ance Club and ]. NJ. Pendergast OF the
Olympics were announced as judges.
The boxers used six-ounce gloves, and
the contest was to be of four rounds, with
no draw. The first round resulted de-
cidedly In McMahon's favor.
In the second round Delaney succeeded
in landing quite frequently on face and
neck, much to the delight of his admirers.
He retired to his corner with victory how
ering like shadow over him.
The Olympic boy came to the center at
the beginning of the third round in con-
fdent attitude and chased his opponent
around the ring, landing telling blows

The fourth round was even more his
than the preceding one. He fought rap
idly, and punished his opponent severely,
despite his catlike agility, and when time
was called the judges decided in his favor,
awarding him the S75 trophy.

Il REDLANDs FORGER.
He Is Captured at Stockton after Long
Pursuit.

He Is Captured at Stockton after a Long
Pursuit.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Aug. 15.-W.
S. Hadley was arrested in Stockton yester-
day for cashing draft OF 5000 at the First
National Bank of Redlands in May last
The draft was drawn on a clearinghouse
at Hillsdale, Mich. The draft itself was
all right,-but it had been stolen. 1t is
charged that Hadley forged the indorse-
ment on the draft and succeeded in getting
it cashed at the Redlands bank.
Hadley has been followed from place to
place by Sheriff Holconb since June Z,
when a complaint was sworn to by Z. z.
Morrison, and III the mean time a warrant
was issued for his arrest. He had been To-
Gated in the mountain towns along the
Sierra Nevada as far north as Placeryille,
but always dropped out of sight before the
arrest could be made, until yesterday, when
he was captured at Stockton.
Hadley represents himself as an ex-bank
clerk and came to Redlands several weeks
before the draft was presented for pay
ment. He is a man probably SO or 40 years
. of age and appears to be in rather poor
health. Whether an ex-bank employee or
not he had sufficient knowledge of banking
to ingratiate himself with bank people in
Redlands. When the foundation was laid
he presented the draft on the Hillsdale
bank, which was paid and sent East for
collection, but few DAYS later the draft
was returned, with the statement that the
Endorsement was forgery and asking for
Hadley's arrest. He had disappeared and
the case was turned over to the Sheriff.

OLYMPIC CLUB POLITICS,
The Opposition. Ticket VIII
Be in the Field in a
Few Days.
STRUGGLE OF THE CANDIDATES.
a Fight to Be Made Because Alex
Forsyth Was Turned Down
by the Regulars.

Tho action of Messrs. McComb and
Rntts Of the nominating committee of the
Olvmnic Club in Withdrawing from that
bodv for the purpose of putting up an OPP
nosition ticket has dashed the hopes of
those club members who were looking for
ward to a peaceful election for the first
time in wears. and the air is full of rumors
of combinations that will make the hight
more determined than ever.
A veteran member stated yesterday that
even had the programme, as originally
MANNED. been carried through, an opposi-
tion ticket would have been placed III the
field. as a great many old members were
incensed at the action of the committee In
not stating Alex Forsyth for secretary.
"The club never had better man i'll that
position" he said land his name VIII ap-
pear on another ticket in connection with
those of a number OF other gentlemen VINO
were turned down for no other reason than
that they were not friendly to the power
behind the throne. 1t is quite likely that
the majority of the names on the new
ticket will be those who are on the regular,
for most of them are those of men who are
popular. and who will be quite sure to work
for the best interests of tue club.
Mr. Crocker, who has been rendered the
nomination for president by the regulars,
was asked yesterday regarding the rumor
that he would not run unless the name OF
Alex Forsyth was put up for secretary.
az don't exactly like to be placed in that
position" he said, "but [ would certainly
prefer to have Mr.. Forsyth on the same
ticket on which my name appears. | have
served with INN before and know his capa-
bilities and business methods. l have
confidence in him, and in position in
volving so many responsibilities it is quite
natural that 1 should prefer some one who
has shown what he is capable of doing.
AS | understand it there are three candi-
dates for the secretaryship--Mr Forsyth,
Mr. Pennell and Mr.. Leighton. Mr.. Pen
nell, understand, says that he does not
want the Office, and l don't know Mr..
Leighton personally.
$50 you can easily see why Mr.. Forsyth
is my choice. The ticket proposed is,
with few exceptions. good one, but
perhaps that of the opposition will be
better"
The opposition will get together soon
and put out a ticket which is expected to
contain the names of Joseph p. Kelly for
vice-president, Alexander Forsyth for Sec
rotary, Leonard Gill for captain and Frank
O'Kane for director.
1t is said that William Greer Harrison,
the ex-president of the club is taking an
active interest in the coming election and
doing considerable work for favorite can
didatec

WIFE NO. 1 IN COURT.
Testimony Given by the De-
PENDANTS Two Mothers
j.. in-LaW.
PLACED UNDER HEAVY BONDS.
Several Letters Exhibited in Which
Wife No. 2 Is lmplored to
- Have Mercy.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. ia. M.
Lorenzo de Ferrer, who is charged with
bigamy, was examined before Justice
Dwyer to-day and held to answer before
the Superior Court. Bail was fixed at
stay in Jail.
The first Mrs. de Ferrer was present in
the court with their baby.
His two mothers-in-law, Mrs. Mary Nc
Donald of Berkeley and Mrs. Katie Patten
of Santa Cruz, were put on the stand and
they both identified him as their son-in-
law.
Mrs. Mcdonald testified that De Ferrer
and her daughter were married in Sacred
Heart Church in North Tesmecal on July
20, 1893, and that a few months later he
had deserted her. De Ferrer visited her
daughter for the last time in May, 1894,
shortly after the baby was born. The wit
ness said her daughters name was Con-
stancia Alma Mcdonald.
Mrs Patten of Santa Cruz exhibited
several letters from De Ferrer IN which he
addressed her daughter as my dear wife. !"
Several of the letters were written after his
arrest and in them he implored wife No. 2
to have mercy upon him and reminded her
of how he had sacrificed his freedom for
her love.
De Ferrer's second marriage was by con-
tract, and Attorney o. o. Felkner took the
stand and said he had drawn up the con-
tract for the parties. The contract was
also introduced as evidence.
Mrs Lorenzo de Fernandez, sister of
the defendant, was the only witness for the
defense. She said she knew Mrs. de Ferrer
No. 1, and had often seen Miss Patten, or
wife No. 2, with her brother. She said her
brother and Miss Patten lived together as
husband and wife, but her brother had
never introduced Miss Patten to her as his
wife, but had told her as soon as he could
get divorce he was going to marry Miss
Patten.
Rev. Father Serda, who had married De
Ferrer and his first wife, identified the de-
PENDANT as the man he had married to Miss
Mcdonald.

SLACK MAY NOT RETIRE.
An Arrangement by Which Everybody
Makes and Saves Money.

1t is not probable that Judge Slack, upon
taking his new position as dean of the
faculty of the. Hastings Law College, will
resign his position on the bench, even
though the directors of that institution
complained because Judge MeKinstry,
when dean, did not devote his whole time
to the place.
There has been an arrangement made
by which the new chair is given two assist
ants instead of one, which was the lot of
former deans, and the salary account, SO
far as the instructors are concerned, will be
reduced $500.
Under the old regime. Judge McKinstry
received 5000 year; Judge Slack, his as
sistant, received $2700-a total of $77OO in
instructors salaries. 1t is now proposed to
give Judge Slack, as dean, $1,000 year-a
raise of $500 over his former salary-and
give each of his two assistants, who have
not yet been appointed, $1,000 each. This
arrangement Will make total salary ac-
count of $50Uo-a big saving over the old
expense. Judge Stacks present salary
upon the Superior bench is $4,000, and as
will be allowed to retain this, his income
will reach $1,000 year.
The word scold was formerly applied to
quarrelsome person of either sex, but as
women are notoriously more given to
scolding than men, it has come to be lin
tied to the fairer and more hnguistically
gifted half of the human race.

PORT. TOWNSEND ARRESTS.


The Gunner and Captain of the Bark
Atacama Sued for Damages.
PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Aug. 15.-
Managing owner D. nj. Mclean and Cap
tain j. Jensen of the Chilean bark Alta
CANA, recently arrived from Iquique, were
to-day taken into custody as the result OF
an action brought for damages by col
ored sailor.
The complainant became insubordinate
soon after the vessel left Chile, attacking
one OF the mates, who with the captains
assistance finally succeeded in subduing
the belligerent. After being handcuffed
the negro was confined in the lazaretto,
where he tried to butt his way to freedom.
Failing in this the enraged negro attempt
ed to break the irons, which cut into the
flesh, leaving his hands and forearms
badly lacerated, and lack of proper care.
greatly aggravated the wounds.
Both the prisoners were at once released
on 10000 bonds. Mclean is member OF
the leading shipping firm of Chile, and
asserts he will not only fight the matter to
the bitter end but will also take the negro
back to Valparaiso where he shipped for
the round voyage, to answer the charge OF
INSTRUMENTATION on the high seas.

Proposition to Dcprire COntraJGnds of
Their Queues.
I SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 15.--Arrests of
Cinnamon in the country without registra-
ton certificates are becoming frequent,
there being scarcely a day when one or
more is not found without the necessary
papers, or with forged certificates, manu-
featured by the wholesale in British CO.
lumbia
The Chinese inspectors here say the
presence of so many contraband Chinese is
due to the fact that those in British CO.
lumbia are anxious to return to China.
Times in the neighboring province have
been getting harder and harder for these
people and they wish to return to China
before the stock of money they have accu-
mulated is entirely exhausted. Therefore
they make their way into the United
States, either with forged certificate or
without any. Arrest means deportation
and their object is attained.
The local Government officials now pro-
pose to cut the queue off every Chinaman
ordered deported They feel that if this is
done fewer Cinnamon will enter the coun-
try without certificates, but the question
will be raised by the Chinese residents
here, who are indignant at the proposal.
Have the Government officials authority
to strip Chinaman of his pigtail before
deporting him?
