TURNER AND sHARKEY.
War to the Knife Is Declared Between
the White and Black Pugilists.

War to the Knife Is Declared Between
the White and Black Pugilists.
Charley Turner, the colored champion
pugilist of Stockton, who was at one time
regarded by the sporting fraternity as I" a
coming man" is now in this City, and, ac-
cording 10 rumor, carries a gun.
Turner used to say in the halcyon days
of pugilism that pugilst who packed a
gun was a coward, and mo good" as a
fighter. But times, pugilistically, have
changed, and so have the ideas of the once
pride of the Stockton sports as regards the
etiquette OF the so-called manly art of self
defense.
Turner, who has grievance, states that
he Will not rest in peace until he RECEIVERS
his lost sweetheart-a white woman who,
firing of the colored fighters attentions,
flew from him to the protecting arms of
the heavyweight gladiator-Tom Sharkey,
alias the demon puncher of the American
navy.
y love that girl, said Turner to friend
last evening, "and you can bet that when
| meet Sharkey face to face thar will be
feathers flying in the air See?
''Sharkey may be a good rough-aIld-
tumble fighter, but when he fools around
Charley Turner's sweetheart then it's time
for ne to declare war.
~ will show this big white man what a
scientific pugilist can do with fellow who
swings his arms Ike a windmill and does
not know where his fists are going to land.
''Sharkey will be punching big holes in
the air when he is trying to knock the top
OF my head off.
Il carry gun because he may have the
same thing, too, but if he will stick to his
fists will stay with him until he licks me
or l lick him.
Il want no purse, it's the girl l am after,
and if Sharkey can whip me on the square
he can have my darling. / am training
hard for this meeting, and you can bet
that old Charley Turner will make the
fight OF his life the first chance he has of
putting his dark bunch of fives on the
jaw of Sailor Sharkey. love that girl. I
do, and you know when a man fights for
love he fights town. No foolishness this
time, honey, with Charley Turner |
mean biz. and Sharkey will find out what
stuff l am maze of when he runs across
nay path, see?'
1T was rumored yesterday that Sharkey
was making preparations for qnick Jour
ney to Los Angeles with his confiscated
sweetheart, but sporting men who are well
acquainted with the heavyweight sIogger
stated that he will remain in this City
some time yet, as he has been offered an
engagement which he cannot very well
afford to cancel in these rather dull times.

Railroad Case Postponed.

The argument in the case of the Southern
Pacific to enjoin the Railroad Commission
from putting its grain rate reduction resolu-
ton into effect has again been postponed by
United States Circuit Judge McKenna, this
tine to about February 10 or II, though the
date has not been definitely set. The reason
Tor this is that the United States Circuit Court
OF Appeals will meet on Monday and will re-
main In session some time. There is no court
room left for the railroad case TO go on in and
the session OF the Court OF Appeals cannot be
interfered with.

Tobacco is the staple crop Of North Car

Hltle less than an average of 9 cents a
pound AT this price there was fair
profit The tobacco manufacturers Of the
state used nearly half of the product, their
output being about S7e9o@0 worth. This
year there is a good prospect for larger
crop. The industry IS universal in Inc
