NOTES ABOUT BoxERs.

Tonight will tell whether Peter Maher or
| Steve O'DOnnell is the better man. Accord
| ing To Brady and Corbett, O'DunnciI, bar
| ring CorDett, is the greatest lighter ON
earth, big, little, black or white. In fact
the champion rates O'Dunnell su high that
he wanted to turn the job of whipping Fitz-
simmons over to him. No one but Corbett,
however, has yet been able tn discover what
| Steve has done in Il fighting way that
points him out as 4 worid-beater.
O'Donnelrs Nest recent iistic engage
meDts were those with Jake Kilrain and
Billy Woods. Neither of these men is
counted as a remarkable fighter at this
time. kilraiD has long since joined the ranks
of the has beens,' and good-naturetl Billy
Woods has not been looked upon as
miracle. Yet both of these men kept Steve
in very uncertain state OF mind. 1t took
him almost the limit Ia wear Kilrain out,
while Woods had him guessing for four
teen rounds.
Steve may whip Mahcr, but II he does he
will astnnish the boxing world, and prob
ably the most astonished being of the Whole
outfit will he Steve himself. By whip
ping Steve Peter will be entitled to chalk
up another win, but the performance will
hardy be counted by the pugillstic fra
tcrnity as Il wonderful one. On work done
Peter ought la wallop Steve in short or
der, and If he does not he will disappuint
all of his admirers, for they believe and
have been saying that he is by long odds
a better man now than he ever was before.
In a letter TO The Times, Hte Peckham
says Billy Woods is in line shape for his
meeting with George Godfrey at Baltimore

The advices indicate that had these mis-

was. he went the twenty nine miles at an
average pace of 2:04 for each mile. which,
as most people nowadays know, is a very
good performance for a trial at n single

Bouhours first showed speed powers last
season. and the hour figures became his
speciality. In September. at the Bordeaux

Annette is fatally wounded, and Hen

Thome has not been living at home for

In semi-drunken condition Thome ar
rived at the laundry shortly after this

their women and children across the

Marshal Cronan stopped half-breed
who had come from the reservation, and
sent him to them with message warning
them of the consequence OF further re-
sistance to the United States. and asking
whether they intended resisting the arrest
of men with them, for whom they had
warrants. In answer to this they sent
the following message:
Mr. Cronan-Why are you so scared to
come and see us? You have come to see
us and now you don't come. Don be
scared. Come with one of your men or
all, but no arms with you. We are not
going to give up our men. Wait till we
get an answer from our great father. We
wait for it day by day. Yours truly.

Cronan declined the request to go in
because they talked the matter over thor
oughly when he met them last Sunday.
A messenger sent by Agent Hall from
the reservation says that Little Shell and
a good sized band intend leaving there TO
join the af-breeds. Hitherto the reser-
vation Indians have held aloof. 1t is re-
ported that Gabriel Dumont, Reil's leu
tenant. has joined them, but this is not
confirmed. Many OF these half breeds
served under him in Northwest Canada
many years ago. Part of the deputies
have been sent back to Rolla to guard
against a raid there. Marshal Cronan has
posted sentinels here. That there has
not been bloodshed hitherto is due to the
knowledge of Marshal Cronan that an at.
tack and defeat would mean reprisal to

Durrant Out of the Clutches of
Detectives
OAKLAND'S CHIEF TRAILING
Alleged Perpetrator of the Church
Murders Granted a Privilege
The Accused Transferred From the City
Prison to the County Jaii-No New
Developments In the Great Case

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.-Theodore
Durrant has been transferred from the
city prison to the county jail. The cell to
which he has been assigned is that occu-
pied by nearly all the murderers whose
crimes have been no orious in San Fran
cisco during the past fifteen years.
In response to Durrant's daily requests
since his arrest but hitherto refused, he
was today permitted the services OF a
barber. his identification having been
made by all the prosecutions witnesses.
Adolph Oppenheim, the pawnbroker,
whose testimony created such a sensation
in the police court yesterday, said in an
interview today that he is positive as to
little diamond ring Oppenheim says
Durrant wished to sell, and which is the
one that was worn by Blanche Lamont
and subsequently returned to her aunt.
Oppenheim identifies the ring by its pc
culiar setting.
Chief of Police Schaffer OF Oakland
commenced to work last night on what
he believes may be an important clue in
the Durrant case. He says that he will
know by tonight whether he can supply
the missing link in the murder of Minnie
Williams.
The chief has ascertaned that pack
age was found in the canyon Just north
of Temesc al. on the Fish ranch road. The
package contained pair of trousers and
a vest. Schaffer believes that there is a
possible chance of these being the missing
clothes of Durrant, for which the police
have been making such determined
search. The chief thinks that the clue is
one we'll worth working up. The clothes
were neatly wrapped in newspaper, and
could have been thrown into the canyon
from the country road. 1t will be remem-
bered that on the Saturday morning after
the murder of Miss Williams the National
Guard Signal corps passed through Oak
land on their way to Mount Diabo. Dur
rant was with the party. In order to get
to Mount Diablo it was necessary to take
the Claremont road. passing to the east
and north of Temescal. 1t was near this
road that the myster ious package was
found. There is no question but that
Durrant passed over the road near the
spot where the package was picked up.
