LAND CASE DECISION.
Opinion Filed by United States Circuit
Judge Ross.

LOS ANGELES, July 27.-Judge
Ross, in the United States Circuit
Court to-day, filed an opinion in the
case Of the United States VS.. the South
err Pacific Company ct al. The suit
was instituted by the Government to
have annulled a patent to lands here
tofore granted to the railroad COM
pany. Among the defendants was c.
NJ. Wright, who alleges title in him
self to portion of the land, not only
by virtue of a deed from the railroad
company, but through conveyance from
the State of California, to which, he
alleges portion of the said land was
granted and listed by the United States
as part of the school land grant.
The court holds that whether the
States claim was valid or not, the fact
that it existed at the time of the def
mite location of the railroad excluded
the lands in controversy from the cate
CORY of public lands, to which alone the
company's grant attached, which view
is conclusive as against the contention
Of the defendant railroad company
The court holds that Wright was a
purchaser in good faith, and that the
right and title to the land purchased by
him was confirmed in him by the Act
approved March 2, 1896, and the patent
therefore cannot be annulled
The decree annuls the patent to the
railroad company to the south half of
Section IL, Township 3 south, range 9
west, and establishes it's validity as
far as defendant Wright is concerned
The decree is without prejudice to the
right of the United States to sue for
the value of the land thus confirmed

VICIOUS Fist FIGHT.
TWO YOUNG MEN IN LOVE WITH
THE SAME MAIDEN
Meet in the Ring to Settle Differences
as to Which is Entitled to
Her Affections.

STOCKTON, July 27.-One of the
place in this city came off in the rear of
Higginbortam' stables, on Market
street, yesterday.
The participants were two young men
who are in love with the same fair
maiden, and who met yesterday on Cal
ifornia street and differed as to which
was entitled to the major share of her
affections. One of them, a twenty
year-old son of Brown, the Sutter-street
junk dealer, offered to settle the diff
Guilty with his rival, a young man
named Gleason, who is employed in the
Houser-H -Haines works in this city, by
resorting to their fists. The challenge
was promptly accepted, and the rivals
repaired to the rear of the stable, where
several men gathered to witness the
fight and see that each had fair treat
ment at the hands of the other.
The fight, which was not by rounds,
was fiercely contested from start to
finish It was only when neither man
was able to strike another blow that
the mill ended, with honors even.
When the men had stripped for the
fray Brown appeared to be much the
tighter, weighing only 125 pounds,
while his opponent weighed over 140,
and was stockily built and able to take
punishment. AT the call of time they
went at it hammer and tongs, and did
not stop except when one was knocked
down, and then they were at each other
in an instant. Neither had any skill in
handling his fists, and as a result it
became a bruising contest Both were
determined, but Brown seemed to have
the most pluck and energy.
Gleason scored the first knockdown,
and sent his smaller antagonist sprawl
ing with a well directed blow. Brown
was on his feet like a flash, and gave
Gleason as good as he sent.
After fighting for half an hour Brown
broke his wrist. He wanted to continue
the fight, but Gleason was staggering
about from the effects of the blows re-
ceived, and the spectators stopped the
mill

SAN JOSE, July Ex-Governor Budd

ifested in the proceedings, as it was
rumored that Principal Childs was

it was found that Professor A. H. Ran
dali had secured three votes and Dr.

the children in her arms and jumped
into the river. Some men who were
fishing near by in a boat saw the
woman jump, and rowed to the spot
and pulled her out as she was sinking
for the third time. The children never
rose to the surface.
When Herman was told of the
tragic occurrence, he attempted to
commit suicide, but was restrained.

DEED OF A MANIAC.
Tries to Kill His Father and Mother

IOWA FALLS Qa), July 27-Frank

to the middle of the neck The luna

WOODBRIDGE DAM.
1t is Doubtful if the Portion Swept
AWAY Sunday Can be Replaced.

Away Sunday Can be Replaced.
STOCKTON, July Pit is doubtful
if the Woodbridge dam in the Mo-
kelumne River, portion of which was
swept away yesterday, can ever be re-
paired so that it will last. 1t appears
that there was not proper foundation
for the piles that were driven by Con-
tractor Tumelty last year, and while
they were sunk to depth Of twenty
four feet, the water eventually under
mined and washed them from their po-
sitiOnS.
Receiver Chapman of the canal COM
pany arrived in Woodbridge to-day. He
thinks the present dam can never be
repaired so that it will be of any ac-
count. He believes a brush overflow
dam can be built for about $4 900, and
viii answer every purpose and keep
the water in the canals.
Last year when the break occurred
the ranch owners who had lands under
irrigation put UP funds to make the
repairs which cost $4,000. There is
little chance of their repeating this
action. Many will be almost bankrupt.
The canal company issued script in pay
ment for rights of way, and these were
to be used by the farmers IN buying
water rights of the company. The COM
pany also issued time checks for labor,
and gave script for the material used.
A. II. Cowell of Lodi holds to-day $40
600 worth of time checks belonging to
himself and others. He said to-day
that many of those who counted on
getting their time checks were in desti-
tute circumstances, and had it not been
for the fact that he was carrying them
until the suit now pending IS settled
they would be starving. He holds
$4,000 Of the company's time checks,
and the rest of the $4,000 is made up
of those placed in his hands by labor
erS and tradeSmen.
Receiver Chapman will probably re-
port soon to Judge McKenna the condi-
ton of affairs, and the court may order
the company's business wound up.

Efforts to Have Them Indorse the

INDIANAPOLIS, July 27.-The Pop

be but slimly attended, only about 100
of the 900 delegates having put in an
appearance. The Democrats are max
ing strenuous efforts to obtain an in
dorsement of their State ticket by hav-
ing the nominations put in the hands Of
committee with power to act and ad-
journ the convention. Tonight a long
conference of the delegates present
was held, lasting until midnight, but no
action was taken. The tenor, however,
favored the nomination of a straight
ticket.
What will be done is doubtful, as the
State Committee is anxious that the
whole thing be placed in it's hands. and
the power to act definitely be left to
them.
Mr.. Shively, the Democratic nominee,
this evening stated that he would not

A PROPHECY NOW HISTORY.
TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF
DEMOCRACY'S DIAL.
Letter Written by President Cleve-

Late Justice Lamar.

JACKSON CMiss), July 21.-The fol-
lowing was given out tonight by Ed
gar S. Wilson, who was Private Sec
retary to Mr. Lamar when he was Sem
atOr:
I'm May, 1892. several months before
Mr.. Cleveland was nominated for Pres
ident at Chicago, he wrote the late
Judge L. Q. c. Lamar a letter, the
original of which is now preserved in
this city The letter was in reply to
one from Judge Lamar, written in pen
Gil on sick bed from which he never
arose. What was prophecy then is his
tory now. The letter is dated Lakeview,
n. j., May l, 1892, and after congratu-
lating Mr.. Lamar on his reported i'm
rrovement, says:
Forces are at work which certainly
mean the complete turning back of the
hands of the dial of Democracy and the
destruction of party hopes. Is it or
dained that 1 am to be the instrument
by which Democratic principles can be
saved. whether party supremacy i'm
mediately awaits us or not? If folly
is to defeat us in any event, ought to
be called upon to place myself under
the falling timber? ! shall be obedient
to the cause of my country and my
party Whatever happens, no one shall
say that I refused to serve in time of
need, or abandoned those who have
been instrumental in calling me to the
field when is waged the battle for DEM
ocratic principles.
eff l am given my discharge I shall
thank God most fervently. I can easily
be disposed of, either by the selection
of candidate more available or by the
adoption of a campaign policy on the
financial question which l am not will
ing to further. In the first place, T
shall be a happy helper: in the second, I
shall sadly await the announcement of
party defeat, which will be pre-deter-
mined.
".Our Southern friends, if they per-
sist, will be left alone with their free
coinage heresy. The danger is that an
other Southern idea and a charge of
heedlessness for the public safety on
the financial question will do service in
the place of the memories of the Civil
War The question is often and justi-
fiably put by friendly Southerners, Can
Cleveland carry New York? The an
swer is ready as to Cleveland or any
other man, if the Democracy is at all
weak on the coinage of silver
AS one who loves his country and
believes that her interest is bound up
in Democratic supremacy, 1 am most
uncomfortable and unhappy in the fear
that the South will not see until too
late the danger of their marrying all.
If I should read this 1 hardly should
send it, but it goes laden with affection
and the most tender memories. Yours
affectionately,
