TUG.OF.WAR RESULTS
The American and San Diego Teams Unde-
feoted-A Good Pull

The American and San Diego Teams Unde-
feoted-A Good Pull
Three good pulls were witnessed at
the tug of war tournament last night,
and but two more evenings remain to
see the brawny men strain at the rope.
1t was again almost o'clock when the
San Diego and Santa Monica teams
strung out along the cleats, and at the
crack of the pistol laid back on the rope.
For fully five minutes neither side
gained any advantage. Then. after
few preliminary heaves. the San Di-
egans picked up the Santa Monica boys
and dragged them down to defeat in 8
minutes and 10 seconds
The second contest was between the
Electrics and San Pedros, and proved
the longest and most exciting thus far
pulled during the tournament. When
the rope was released both teams laid
down and felt each other. For a few
minutes no move was made, but finally
the harbor men, after severe work. got
four cleats the best of it. There they
stuck and were soon obliged, inch by
inch, to give back the rope. For fully
fifteen minutes there was but little to
spare either way, neither side being
able to bulge its opponents. Then of
sudden the Electrics caught the sea-
siders mapping, got them on the run and
pulled the red rag over the winning
mark. after a battle lasting 10 minutes
and 81 seconds.
The last pull was between the Ameri-
can and the Spanish teams, being un-
interesting, as the Americans far out
classed their Mexican friends. After
the pistolshot they laid down for nearly
five minutes andlet the Spaniards heave
to no purpose. Then, with a rush. they
pulled them over, winning in minutes
and Is seconds.
Last nights results leave the teams
as follows: American and San Diego,
3 won, none lost; Electric, won, lost;
Santa Monica. l won. lost: San Pedro
and Spanish, lost, none won.
Tonight's program is scheduled below:
Electric VS.. San Diego, Santa Monica
VS.. American, San Pedro vs. Spanish.
There will also be an exhibition pull
between the two teams supposed to
represent the gold and silver questions.

| ion in any way on the worthiness of any
investment. The report was adopted
and the secretary instructed to inform
the members through the mail of the
| plan.

THE CRUSADE BEGUN
Colonel Brooks Starts His Purity Movement
in the Courts

Thomas Stewart, charge vagrancy, for
trial August 13 before Justice Morrison
by jury, is the innocent looking entry
on the list of Police Bailiff Appel, but
behind it lies story. Stewart was ar
rested and it was at the instance of Col

gurated his crusade by which he hopes
to drive all the men who live on the sins
Of fallen women out of town.
Matilde Gonzales, a crib woman, is the
complaining witness and she appeared
in court Stewards attorney presented
an affidavit signed by the defendant
stating that he had reason to believe
that she was going to leave town, but
Mr.. Brooks had his client file a counter
affidavit that she was not and that she
would be on hand to prosecute the case
On bonds furnished to Francisco Con-
mack and Rosa V. Guerrero Stewart was
released to await trial.
The doughty colonel says this case is
but the beginning; there are a hundred
others being prepared, and before he gets
through with them the macs will be in a
hurry to leave town. He has detectives
working and wherever he can induce a
woman to appear against her paramour
or secure evidence in any other way he

THE REALTY MARKET
Demand Chiefly Confined to Lots for Building
Purposes

Real estate dealers are not crowded
with business, though demand is fair
for building lots and sales reasonably
numerous. Land offered at close prices
rarely fails to find purchasers, and auc-
ton sales of lots, both in the city and
in the suburban towns, have been well
attended by people who came to buy
and who carried out their purpose
Buyers for speculative purposes are
not SO common, and are almost an I'M
known quantity in dealings in country
lands.
Almost without exception the sales
made during the past week, whether of
city or country lands, have been made to
people who intend to occupy the proper
ty bought. A notable exception is the
case of the Chino ranch, which has
passed out of the jurisdiction of the
courts into the hands of an English syn
dicate, which it is expected will put
the land on the market in small tracts.

himself with becoming modesty ana
composure. When he saw another re-

earned by years of honest and unsehsh
devotion to the cause of silver. ne ac-
cepted the result with excellent temper
and even with cheerfulness. There is
no doubt that he was sincere when ne
declared that it was enough for him to
know that the convention had made
choice of an earnest, vigorous and at
tiactive candidate. His conduct
throughout has been all that his friends
and admirers could have wished for.

contrast to the treachery and double
dealing of Stone and Vest in the Chicago
