San Francisco, Decemhsr 1.-THE fight
between Sharkey and Fitzsimmons for the
possession of the $40 900 purse was con-
cluded today when Judge Sanderson OF the
superior court dissolved the injunction re-
straining the Anglo California bank from
cashing the check. Counsel for Sharkey
called attention of the court to the State
law forb.dding prize lighting, between
which and glove contest" he maintained
there was no difference and nc therefore
argued that a case involving the posses
sion of purse tor prize fighting had no
standing in the court. The judge concurred
in this view and said he would have term
mated the proceedings earlier had that
point been called TO his judicial attention.
The court held that under the California
statute the civic board of supervisors had
no more power to legalize a prize fight
than to sanction a duel.
The decision concluded as follows.
There is no question in my mind that
the parties in this engagement or exhibit

today:
GALVESTON. HARRISBURG AND SAN

r. M1CHALAKE; application for a writ
of error In case from Colorado county,
Fourth district.--Refused.
We are OF the opinion that the applica-
tion for the writ of error In this case
should be refused. In upholding, however,
the ruling OF the court of civil appeals. that
the first charge requested by the plaintin
and given by the court wag not error, We
deem It proper to say that we do not ques-
ton the right of railway company as a
general rule to erect the structures neces-
sary for the prosecution of it's business
and ~ leave standing cars upon its side
tracks. near a street or road crossing But
we think that the circumstances of case
may be such that. as matter of fact, IL
mag be negligence to do so. 1t has been so
held by this court. az $. w. 331. There
was evidence In this case from which in
our opinion the jury were authorized to in
fer negligence. We do not understand the
court of civil appeals to differ with rs. with
reference to this question; but their opinion
does not point out the circumstances in
evidence, which take the case out OF the
general rule. We think 1t best to say this
much in order TO prevent a misconcepticn

GOOD GOVERNMENT ~ TIE KIND
OF yINDICATs0N WANTED.

The Democratic CouRcilmen who meet
In caucus tomorrow (Monday) evening.
10 nominate officials that the charter OF
the city empowers the Councils to elect,
will. no doubt, be impressed with the
fact that they were elected under the
unquestioned impression on the part OF
the voters who cast the Democratic ball
lots. thai they would secure for the city
GOOD GOVERNMENT They must
also be impressed with, and the fac: tina,
but for the confidence the people re-
posed in them, 10 v!ndicate the goodname
and good cepute OF the city so shame
fully wronged under the auspices OF
former Democratic administrations. as
controlled by the vicious elements that
were Democrats for "spons and protec-
ton" the people would not have elected
them.
Democratic success in the last election
was secured only by the implicit faith
of the people that good government
would follow. This faith and reliance
should be honestly and conscientiously
respected. No consideration, however
strong, should for a moment turn a
Councilman-elect from a straight and
resolute discharge of duty along this
ling. Personal Friendship or personal
vindications have no right to enter into
the matter. The issue in the recent
contest was GOOD GOVERNMENT.
This IS the vindication the people want.
This Isl what they voted for, and it would
be glaring and shameful violation of a
peoples confidence if any other policy
was persued.
The Councilmen-electc comprise a body
of men, whose character and standing
as whole has not been surpassed by
any similar body OF men who have rep
resented Norfolk in dts municipal legis-
lature. The virginlan has faith that
they will carry out the pledges made
to;fhe people for GOOD GOVERN
MENr. On them rests the respons!-
biisty.
