Wins ia the Tenth Round at the Santa
. Monica Canyon Pavilion.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 1.-The
fight TO finish between Fred Began and
W. H. Rapp, feather-weights. came off ac-
cordIng to programme last night in the
pavilion at Santa Monica Canyon. Both
men were in splendid condition, and the
fight was hot one from start to finish.
There was large crowd in attendance,
the greater portion of which went from
Los Angeles, during the evening.
Began was the fayorite from the start.
He showed great improvement in form
over two weeks ago, and justified the faith
of his hackers by putting Rapp TO sleep in
tie tenth round. Fred Monahan officiated
as referee, and gave general satisfaction,
his. decisions being fair and impartial,
while he enforced the rules.
Began is now looking for a match with
any man of his weight IN the.country. He
is in condition and able to make. satis-
factory showing, so he believes, against all
comers. He will probably go to San Fran
cisco in few days.

FREsNOa UNLUcKI MONTH.
Thirteen ImqUests Conducted by tn,
Coronsr in July.

Thirteen InQGests Conducted by the
Coronsr in July.
FRESNO, CAL, Aug. 1.-The number of
fatalities during the month of July was
unprecedented in Fresno's history. Coro-
ner Long held thirteen inquests during
the month. In July, 1894, Coroner
Stephens had eleven cases, and this record
was at the head of the list of Coroners'
reports until this year. 1t appears that
fatalities have always been more numer-
GUS during July than in other months.
The sawmills in the mountains and the
harvesting machines always supply their
regular quota during that month.
In his report to the Board of Supervis-
ors to-day, County Health Officer Adair
sayssthat almost all dairymen have re-
formed their methods of carrying on bust
ness, and that as a result the city is sup
piled, with one or two exceptions, with
pure and unadulterated milk. DR.. Adair
considers this a great improvement over
what has been the case. All dairies, with
the exception OF that of J. B. Hill, who
was complained against a few days ago,
have cleaned up their premises and in
other ways made improvements conduc-
i've to the health of consumers of milk.

HEAVY DAMAGES, DEMANDED.
Papers in Sensational Suit Filed
in the Superior
Court.

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. IL. A. Rich
ards, through his attorneys, James a.
Louttit OF this city and Van R. Paterson
ofySan Francisco to-day filed in the Supe-
rior Court a sensational suit against P. B.
Fraser, D. s. Rosen baum and D. A. Guern-
seyf three of the most prominent men in
financial circles in this city. The suit al
leges all sorts of frauds and deception, and
1t will without doubt bring about hard
fought legal contest.
The complaint alleges that the plaintiff
and the three defendants entered into an
agreement in Decemb ber, 1891, by which
they were to engage in the purchase of
farming lands in this county on partner
ship basis. The transaction that caused
all the trouble was the purchase of 5000
acres of land from ]. f. Mosely, the de-
faulting County Recorder and Auditor,
who is now sojourning IN Europe on the
money that he took with him from this
country and from Central America,
whittier he went after he had tired of the
pleasures of life in Stockton.
The complaint recites the fact that none
of the property was conveyed at the time
to Richards, but that a half-interest was
Fraser and the remaining fourth to Guern-
sey, and that the trio entered into con-
splracy with Moseley, the County Re-
corder, at the time. 1t declares that the
defendants ''fraudulently designed and
schemed to entice said Richards" into the
partnership for the purpose of fleeing
him, and that all three "conspired with J.
F. Moseley to keep secret the actual agree
nent between the seller OF the lands nd
the purchasers as to the price paid. ;"
This, he claims, was done for the purpose
of defrauding him, as the price paid did
not exceed $40 an acre, while the defend
ants represented to him that they paid SIS
an acre for the land. and made him pay
for his proportion of it at that rate. AS
Moseley was the seller and also the County
Recorder, Richards claims there was no
difficulty in arranging to keep the actual
price secret.
Richards claims to have made two pay
ments of S6250 and $S240, in cash, and to
have given Rosen baum his note for sos, 900
for the. balance of the purchase price. He
now wants heavy damages.

Los ANGELES OFFICE OF The CALL,
32S SOUTH BROADWAY.

Los ANGELES, CAL, Aug. IL
Republicans of this section turned out
in large numbers tonight to attend the
opening of the new quarters of the Young
Mems Republican League OF the Sixth
Congressional District. The league has
taken the former quarters OF the Los An
geles Athletic Club on South Spring street,
and has ample room at it's disposal for
similar crowds which will gather in the
rooms during the campaign.
ALL of the speakers favored the gold
standard and were opposed to the free
coinage OF silver as proposed by the oppo-
sition. Republicans were urged to stand
loyal to the party and not to go after the
will-o'-the-wisp of Bryan. Mention Of
Mckinley brought forth loud applause.
In addition to members of the Superior
courts, various city and county officials
and other prominent Los Angeles Repub-
ilcans, delegations were present from Pasa-
dena, Pomona, Orange, Redlands, San
Bernardino and the surrounding towns.
Previous to the speaking, general re-
ception was held in the rooms OF the club,
fruit being served to the guests. The re-
ception committee consisted OF w. o.
Dow, W. A. Blakely, F. P. Frost, l. ?.
Harrison and A. Waldie. A. w. Kinney,
president of the league, called the meet
ing to order, and referred to the remark

Ex-Governor H. III. Markham was in

The vital issue, however, was, he declared,
protection to American labor.

promises, and now it had started out in

never fulfilled any of the promises it bad

to see 1t some day used as an extensive cir

J. r. Newberry treated of the financial
issue, principally, and spoke from the
standpoint OF business man. The COM

clared, to the present situation and had
closely drawn the lines between the two
standards of money. The commercial

no less than 30 per cent were in favor OF
