The Stanford men, it appears, counted
the people present and found that there
were just thirty-ive more people than
tickets accounted for, but they forgot

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, April ~
The Victor Reservoir Company has sold
its property to the Columbia Colonization
COMPANY of Chicago. c. H. Howard OF
the Farm, Field and Fireside, and his
brother, General O. o. Howard, came here
recently with a civil engineer and carefully
examined Victor reservoir-site and made
favorable report, which resulted IN the
sale. The deeds are being made out and
will be placed on record next week.
1t is proposed that the reservoir will con-
tain when full to the 145-foot level 49,
III, 4O4, 900 standard gallons Of water, sutfl-
cient to irrigate 100000 acres of land, sup
plying one inch of water under four-inch
pressure to five acres of land. This reser-
voir-site lies near Victor, Cal, on the north
side of the mountains. surrounded ON all
sides by large bodies of Government land
susceptible of high state of productive
ness with the application of water. The
lands are biseeted by the land of the Santa
Fe Railroad.
The new company proposes to begin the
construction of dam at once. 1t will be
100 feet in height and 800 feet in length.
This will impound lake of water nine
miles long and five miles wide, and will be
fed by the Mojave River, having water
shed of over $50 square miles of area. The
watershed lies on the north side of the
San Bernardino Mountains, and snow falls
on it every winter to great depth, making
a total rainfall of from 40 to 100 inches,
according to the season. This enterprise is
the greatest of its kind ever inaugurated in
Southern California, far surprising in mag
nitude the Bear Valley dam, which repre-
scented capitalized stock of 100000.

WON BY FARMER BURNS,
Stranger Lewis BeSted in the
Wrestling Match at
Chicago.
Five Hotly Contested Bouts, in
Which Both Men Do Some
Clever Work.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 20.-The wrestling
match for the worlds championship be-
tween Evan Lewis and Martin (known as
'Farmer") Burns, was won by Burns.
Lewis won the first fall in Is minutes, but
lost the second in 25; Lewis the third in %
min. s Sec. Burns the fourth in l minute,
and Burns the fifth and the match in 10
min. 10 sec.
The match was scatch-as- catch can, best
three out of five falls. Burns, who weighed
161 pounds, was in splendid condition,
while Lewis, who tipped the scales at 200,
was as fat as prize pig. Time was called
at S:45 o'clock.
Burns started on the defensive, and
throughout the first bout Lewis did nearly
all the work. The greater part Of the time
Burns was on his hands and knees, with
Lewis trying to turn him. Burns cleverly
broke a hammer lock, twisted out OF
hahn elson two minutes later and then
went down with hammer lock.
Both men started in easy for the second
fab, Lewis particularly SO. Lewis was the
first to assume the aggressive, but could
accomplish nothing and then went to the
defensive Burns seemed then to be able

a hold on Burns leg, but the latter pulled
away. Lewis then got half-Nelson,
which Burns broke and by quick turn
threw Lewis over his head. He lifted
Lewis bodily several times and finally
dropped him on his back, where after
few minutes work he won the fall with
hammer-lock The crowd went wild with
delight.
Burns started in on the aggressive in the
third, but Lewis broke his holds as quickly
as he found them. Lewis rushed Burns
several times to the ropes, and once had
him nearly down, but Burns grabbed the
rope and broke away. Lewis assumed the
aggressive and downed Burns with body
hold with flying fall. The fall was fair
and square, but the crowd objected so
strenuously that the referee, Charles
Duplessis of Chicago, felt called upon to
make a speech in his own defense.
On the fourth fall Burns tented for a leg
hold, rushed and threw his man like a
fash with half-Nelson. Time, minute.
In the last bout Lewis got his hands
tightly drawn across Burns mouth and
nose, choking him badly. Burns broke
way, but was caught again, Lewis squeez-
ing him so hard that the blood was forced
out of the farmers" nose. Burns, after
three minutes tugging, worked loose and
then went at Lewis like cyclone. He
had Lewis with one shoulder on the floor
with a body hold, and when Lewis
broke that Burns lifted him clear off the
floor, trying to drop him ON his back. He
twice had Lewis with his head to the floor
and his feet in the air. The second time
he dropped quickly and in twinkling had
Lewis half turned with hammer lock.
The champion struggled like wild man,
but it did him no good. Burns turned him
slowly inch by incif and finally downed
him amid deafening yells from the spec
tators. Parson Davies. on behalf of Dan

for SIcearing Falsely.
SAN JOSE, CAL, April 2O.-The ex-
animation of Arthur Spencer, the Chinese
interpreter, on charge of perjury, took
place before Justice Gass this afternoon
and the defendant Was held to the Superior
Court with bonds fixed at $1,000.
Spencer, who has been employed as an
interpreter in the courts, was arrested a
month ago for forgery, it having been dis
covered that he had affixed the signatures
of Justices Gass and Dwyer to bills alleged
to be due him for services in Chinese cases.
By this means he obtained about 500.
On his examination for forgery the evil
dence was not sufficient to convict and the
case was dismissed. Justice Dwyer imme-
diately swore to complaint charging
Spencer with perjury, as to have the
claims allowed by the Supervisors Spencer
had to swear that the Justices had signed
the bills.
