John Becker Ends His Life While on 8
Spree.
The body of John Becker was found by
some small boys in vacant lot at the cor
ner of Sixth avenue and Lake street
yesterday shortly after noon. The Coro.
ner was notified and the body removed to
the Morgue.
Becker had been clerk in the grocery.
store of d. Becker & Co., at the corner OF
Suffer and Leavenworth streets. He had
been drinking for some time and finally
went to the Home of the Inebriates, which
he left about a week ago, though DIR.
Potter thought he should have remained
longer. He continued drinking and be-
came very respondent.
Mr.. Becker lived at 71S Leavenworth
street. He has brother, John Henry
Becker, grocer, who lives at 624 Taylor
street. Deceased was 35 years of age and
unmarried.
He left no word of his intention of tax
ing his life. But at his side was soda
bottle from which the contents had been
drained. 1t is thought that he took poison
and used the soda to wash the drug down.
A post-mortem examination will be held
to find the exact cause of death.

BOXING AT COLMA.
Why Fistic Sport Is Knocked on the
Head in San MateO


The Board of Supervisors of San Mateo
County has put it's foot down upon any
further boxing contests being held in San
Mateo County under the auspices of the
San Mateo Athletic Club. eIt appears that
young man named Young Mitchell was
DESTROYS of introducing second boxing
club, and as the people of San Mateo
County objected to an invasion of tistic
contests the attention of the Supervisors
of the county was attracted to what
promised to be a prize-fghting settlement.
Owing to Mr.. Mitchell's interference it
is now announced that there will be no
more sport of that character either at
Colma or in any other part OF this county.
The Board of Supervisors of San Francisco
County have intimated that it will remove
its official sanction to the exhibitions that
are periodically held at Colma.
There is county ordinance in exist
ence which provides for the holding of ex-
hibitions of skill or endurance, but some
of the Supervisors maintain that recent
set-tos at Colma have been clearly in vio-
lation of the law.
Sheriff McEvoy, who officially referees
the Colma fights, has endeavored to draw
the line between prize-hghting and harm
less sparring, and an error in judgment on
one side has frequently exposed him to the
contempt of either the sporting element
or the law-abiding citizens.
Consequently, Mr.. McEvoy is anxious to
give up the job. Three of the Supervisors
have expressed themselves in favor of re-
scinding the glove contest law. The mat
ter will be heard probably next Monday.

with the lead for little over half a mile,
when J o c and Colonel Weightman

struggle took place to the wire. Over the

Hennessy sat down hard on the Elkton
jumper. and responding gamely, hung on,
and the pair passed the wire so close to-
gether that the judges were unable to
separate them, declaring it a dead heat.

.GREENWALD DISAPPEARED.
He Was Charged With Embezzle.
ment by the Columbia
Mills.
His Relatives Say He Took Passage for
Europe on Ship Last
Monday.

+. Greenwald, the travelling agent for
the Columbia mills, who was arrested
three weeks ago on the charge of embezzle-
mcnt, has disappeared.
After his arrest and arraignment before
Judge Joachimsen he was given his liberty
on his own recognizance. Since then his
friends have not been idle. They have
labored zealously in his behalf, and one of
the results may be found in the circum-
stance of his disappearance. He had no
money and owed every one who would
trust him, and it would have been impos-
sible for him to leave the City without
assistance.
The crime of which he is charged is of
doubtful character, so far as the capabil-
ity OF his accusers to prove their allega-
tions is concerned. The alleged embezzle-
ment consisted of his selling his commu-
tation ticket. in order to get money on
which to travel and pay the hotel and
other bills incurred while discharging his
duties as travelling salesman for the Co.
lumbia mills.
The company claims that he had fixed
amount of money to defray all the ex-
penses of his trip. He says he was very
short; in fact, to use the commercial trav-
eler's term, strapped, and had to resort to
VIC LednS illployeu 70 get ouG OI LIE tOWu
where the transaction took place.
That Greenwald has disappeared is
known to all his friends and acquaintance,
but his relatives and closest friends only
are aware af the manner OF his going. He
boarded a ship bound for some European
port week ago yesterday, SO his brother
in-law. Mr.. Shoenwasser Of the firm of
Shoenwasser, Davis & Co., says. 1t is
obvious he is travelling on the funds which
his friends provided, as he was known to
have nothing. His wife and two children
are provided for by relatives.
Mr.. Shoenwasser, the absent travelling
mans brother-in-law, said yesterday that
Greenwaid had no cause to flee from the
wrath of Justice. "The charge of embez-
ELEMENT" he said, "could not have been
proved, and the only reason that can as
cribe for his course is that ne did not want
to stay and face his numerous creditors
after the public disgrace of his arrest. But
the whole trouble originated in the mig
gardly salary allowed him by his employ
ers. They did not give him enough to en-
able him to dress respectfully, let alone to
pay the expenses OF maintaining his do
mestic establishment"

An Insane Freak.

Last Sunday afternoon passenger
named Thomas T.. Way developed q
freak Of insanity and jumped from the
train about six miles west OF town and
took to the valley. 1t appears that the
engine pulling No. 4, passenger train had
become disabled and an engine WAS sent
out from Needlen to pull the train into
Peach Springs. While the train was
lying near Yucca a number OF Pueblo
Indians in charge of Charles Lummis,
who were on their way home from the
Fiesta de Los Angeles, got off the cars
and we're having high old time yelling
and dancing around over the country,
themselves generally as do Indians.
Way looked on and suddenly become
imbued with the idea that the Indians
wished to kill him. He waited until the
train got in rapid motion and then
jumped off and ran away as fast as his
legs conld carry him. Conductor Shale
reported the matter to Sheriff Rosborougb
on the arrival Of the train at this pla ce
and ladian Hardy was sent out to trail
the man down. He overlook the poor
unfortunate near Maguire's ranch and
brought him into town. He was lodged
in all and mis- people 10 Pittsburg COM

was askei to take the man on TO his
home in Pittsburg and all his ex oense,

left for the east on the Overland We'd.

The Valley Of the Colorado.

Gazing into the valley of the Colorado
from the summit of Union Pass one is
impressed with the beauty and grandeur
Of the scene. On either side is high
castellated cliffs OF porphyry and granite,
in shades OF red, brown, yellow and
white, while away to the west, like a
ribbon of silver, flows the tnrbid waters
Of the mighty Colorado. From the
mountain range to the river the descent
is rapid. For miles to the south the
land along the river bank is as level as
floor and with proper irrigation can be
made 10 produce anything grown in a
semi-tropical climate. A number OF
men are now engaged in clearing the
land and preparing the ground for a
crop between old HardyvilIe and Fort
Mohave. The men have the utmost con-
fidence in the country and expect to
make fortunes from their lands.
Parties are now in Albuqurque trying
to obtain right of way over The railrosd
lands and as soon as the matter is adjusted
II is thought work on the Bulls Head
canal will be commenced. With this
