ent cities may be brought together under
one roof, thus preventing Califo rnia fruit
from competing with itself through the
fruit being sold in several places and under
different arrangements.
1t is contended that this system of con-
solidation, in connection with a bureau OF
information for the growers, will result in
securing much better values than were
obtained under the old method. The real
fight is centered on New York City, where
two large associations have refused to con-
slider the proposition of consolidation.
Resolutions were passed by the growers
last night denouncing those who are doing
business with these rival concerns.

A Big Railroad Battle Said to
Be Pending in This
State.
STRANGE CASE OF INSANITY.
Suffer County In Favor of the
establishment of Union
Auctio n-Rooms.

ANGELS CAMP, CAL, July 12.-As a
result of the duel yesterday between Chris
Held and Peter Moro, which occurred
three miles this side of San Andreas, both
men are in a precarious condition. One of
the three balls which struck Moro pene-
trated his lung, and his death is almost
certain. Heid's most dangerous wound is
in the shoulder. Although probed for, the
bullet cannot be located, and the physi-
clans fear it has entered the chest cavity.
AS to the circumstances of the duel, the
versions of the men vary. Both were
headed this way with their tishwagons,
Held in the lead Moro whipped up his
horses with the intention of oyertaking his
rival for the purpose of having it out with
him or else passing him. He claims that

pull him off his seat, at the same time

pistol. which was beside him on the seat,
and began firing.
Held, however, AYERS that after some
words he told Moro that If he would get
down he would whip him, and that Moro,
without warning, began firing. However
that may be, as'soon as the latter nred ne
jumped to the ground and perfect
fusillade ragged between them at close
range. As soon as their revolvers we're
emptied Moro retreated. His condition
will not permit of his removal from the
saloon near by to his home at San An
dreas. Held is with friends at that place.
Young Moro's parents reside near San
Andreas. His half-brother, Robert Leon
ard, is a prominent citizen there, and
formerly published the Citizen. Moro had
the reputation of being game fighter. ="
Held was also a man of nerve. He
owned land on the Moquelemos grant at
the time the militia elected settlers in be-
half OF the Southern Pacific Company. He
barred his breast and dared the soldiers to
fire, at the same time threatening to kill
the first man who put foot on the prop
erty he claimed. His daughter has the
distinction of conducting barber-shop at
Stockton.

The recent experience of Mrs. Volney
Spalding of San Francisco in tn noun
tains of Colorado, occurred in this county
this week.
Lester Perdew, barber about % years
of age, went to Bear Valley in the San
Bernardino Mountains last Wednesday 10
camp with some friends. The valley is
thi rty- five miles from this city, and the
altitude is over 5000 feet.
During the night he became very rest
less, and the next morning was violently
insane. He threatened to kill himself and
his friends. and yesterday it was determ-
ined to bring him to the valley. His
hands were bound behind him and he was
taken over the trail on burros, friends rid
ing close to him before and behind to pre-
vent him throwing himself over preci-
pice. When half way down he was turned
over to the stage-driver. He managed to
loosen the bands which held him, and the
driver and a companion had a desperate
struggle to subdue him.
When the valley level was reached at
Redlands, Perdew had quieted down and
seemed to be quite rational. He was
turned over to his friends, and to-day his
mental equilibrium appears to be restored.

wrest the championship from Jimmy
Barry of Chicago at Union Park Hall next
Monday night, was given tryout by George
Dixon, the worlds feather-weight cham
pion, at Faulkner, where Ross is being

The trial was made in the presence OF
Tom O'Rourke and several well-known
sports. 1t was four rounds, and Dixon did
not let up bit on Ross, but fought him
as if he was contesting to retain his own
title. Ross surprised the sporting men by
his showing, and they say he never did
such clever work as he did against Dixon.
The colored champion received some stiff
blows from Ross and the latter received
many from Dixon, but never show ed any
signs of weakening. The sports were so
impressed with Ross work that they are
going to bet on him against Barry.

Health and Strength are Within
Your Grasp.
DIR. Greene's Nervura Makes
You Strong and Well.
1t is the Great Restorative Of
Brains and Nerves.

Oh those nerves of ours, how they do
bother us! Weak, tired and nervous is the
complaint everywhere. We overwork, dis
sipate, weaken our bodies, ruin our health,
and finally break down. SleepleSsness and
indigestion are early symptoms. for the
nerves are too exhausted and irritable to
: permit rest, and the stomach too weak to
digest food
1t is nerve and brain exhaustion which
makes the brain tired, and the arm nerve
less, the limbs trembling, the muscles weak
and the whole body without strength,
energy or ambition. 1t is loss of nerve and
vital power which is slowly but surely sap
ping the very life itself, and unless help is
sought from the right source the end will
be shattered nerves, insanity. with soften
ing of the brain, nervous prostration. heart
failure. paralysis or premature death.
Beware of such symptoms! A well-known
druggist, Charles W. Eggleston, Esq, 329
Park avenue, Worcester Mass, suffered
from nervous prostration and all it's terrible
symptoms. He writes the following letter.
telling what he knows is the best way to
get we'll.
Some time ago 1 was taken with nervous
prostration, l suffered terribly with my
nerves and could get no sleep at all. be-
came fearfully exhausted, my stomach was
in terrible condition from dyspepsia, and
could eat hardly anything.
II used several medicines, but without
benefit. Being in the drug business myself,
and having had many customers speak in
the highest terms of DR.. Greenes Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, / determined to
try it. After taking only one-half bottle
began to feel much better
Il slept soundly at night, and my appetite
| was splendid. After taking three bottles, 1
| ate three square meals day, and had not
| the slightest distress. My nerves were per-
| fectly strong, and 1 felt like a new man.,
| being completely cured Of all my troubles.
| "Out of the respect / bear the manufac-
| turers of DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
| nerve remedy, and my desire to have the
| sick and suffering made well and strong, 1
| heartily recommend it to people who are
| sick. / most certainly recommend it to peo-
| pie who are the same as 1 was, nervous
! and inclined toward dyspepsia and indiges-
| ton. and suffering from not being able to
| sleep well at night
| AS this letter is from dealer in medicine,
| his word is authority such matters.
| Everybody knows that DR.. Greene's Ner-
| vura blood and nerve remedy is the great
| leading medicine of the age Take it and
| you will be made strong, healthy and Wig
orous. Doctors recommend it because it is
