Cripple Creek.

John Cameron, former resident of

to San Francisco from a visit to Grin.
pie Creek. He was interviewed by a
Post reporter on his return. AS there
Is considerable talk here about Grin.
pie Creek and several parties contem-

coming from all parts of this county,
from Africa and Australia.
"a great many of them have money,
but the majority have come with lin
tied means and some only with few
dollars over the price which they had
to pay for their transportation.
"You can imagine the condition of
affairs when tell You that the ther-
mometer averages Is degrees below
zero nearly all the time and that
hundreds Of these people have never
been exposed to the hardships which
such weather brings.
"The houses are chiefly built of
board and canvas. Here and there
are some brick structures but they are
exceptions.
"The accommodations are utterly
inadequate for the demand and there
are hundreds Of people in Cripple
Creek today who will consider .hem-
selves fortunate if they have been
able to secure the use of a chair to
sleep in at cost of 80 cents or 81
night.
The cost Of provisions is equally
great. No satisfactory meal can be
secured for less than 81.

this transportation provides u great
deal OF employment, but there are,
as might be expected, hundreds of
men who cannot find the opportu-
nifty to make the cost of the scantiest
living.
"As / have already stated to you,
there are great many people dying
there every day, and the facilities for
caring for the bodies OF the dead are
very sadly limited, and the friends of

mentioned. Rehearsals will commence

points to the most successful benefit ever

in the club are entered, though the number
is limited. The handicaps for the event

MAY CONBOY'S DEATH

Thought to Have Been a Case uf Suicide, Not
Hurder
SAN Francisco, Feb. 23.-After thor
ougb investigation the police now believe
that May Conboy was not murdered by
John Dolan, but committed suicide. De-
tective Anthony, who was detailed by
Chief Crowley TO investigate the double
tragedy, has made report to Captain
Lees, in which he says that he is convinced
that the woman died from a self-inflicted
wound.
In support of his theory he has submitted
the statement OF a young man who lives in
this city, but who is employed az Tiburon,
The police refuse to divulge his name, but,
according to his story, which the officers
say has been verified, the woman has long
been contemplating suicide.
Last Friday morning. he says, he met
her i'll a saloon at Grant avenue and Nor
ton street. 1t was shortly after o'clock
In front OF the bar was Mary Conboy. appar.
entity under the influence of liquor. She
was conversing with male acquaintance
whom the young man did not know.
As he entered she shook hands with him.
Shortly afterward they entered side
room connected with the. saloon. The
woman seemed solicitous about Dolan, and
asked when he would return to this city.
II am tired of this life,'' she is said to
have remarked, land intend to do away
with myself"
She spoke feelingly of her relatives,
whom she said she had disgraced, and de-
clared that she had made up her mind to
kill herself

IN RE CHARLEY MURPHY

The reinstatement of "Brother Charl''
Murphy will be good news to a number of
very warm friends that he made while in
Los Angeles. For the first time, the true
facts of the case came to light at the re-
opening of this now cause celebre at the
recent L. A. w. assembly. The truth as
shown fully clears Murphy, but really
places Titus in an unpleasant position.
His untruthfulness harmed an innocent
man greatly, and entirely seems to justify
the appeIlation that has been given to him,
marble Heart Titus"
The st. Lous Sporting News has the fol-
lowing to say on the subject:
Titus admission of guilt to the racing
board comedies with Cabanne's calm of
entire innocence in this matter. Cabanne
all along maintained that while there
might have been trickery in the race, he
was not cognizant. of it. While he was
fearful that Titus did compromise himself
by making proposition to Murphy he be-
lieved that it was done with the good tif
mistakenly intention of helping him tea
banne) to win a race in his own city. For
this reason he remained silent, and COM
municated his suspicion to no one. al
though he repeatedly begged Titus to con-
fess anything and every thing he might
have done. Cabanne says that Titus is
one of the best fellows in the world, a true
and faithful friend, who did not begin to
appreciate the enormify of the offense he
was guilty of when he made tho PROPOSE

R-COLLEGlATE FIELD DAY

The great field day, so long looked for
ward to by the many college athletes, has
come and gone away in the most success
ful manner. In many points, inc 'uding
that of attendance, it was far superior to
any of the preceding aft airs. At last COL
lete spirit seems to bs waking up. as tn Q
journeying of many brass Iunged students
showed yesterday. Though the events
may not have been the equal of those in a
like contest between the big colleges of the
east, yet it is doubtful if at any TIME more
noise and enthusiasm would have attended
any of the various winnings.
However, the events were excellently
contested for, and the management. of the
games is TO be congratulated upon the
manner in which the field was kept clear
and the scheduled events run off. A wise
selection of old and tried officials had
great deal to do with the excellent order
maintained throughout. The events them.
selves were in most cases much better than
in previous years, notably in the two BIZ
cycle races. The effect of systematic train.
ing was to be seen in the style of running
and jumping of the various Competitors.
There is little doubt of the entire success
of these field days which are wisely kent

THE ROPED ARENA

One round, and a short one at that, and
the tale of Peter Maher was told. No'ex-
cuse has yet been offered for the poor
showing made by the erstwhile redoubtable
Irishman, he apparently realizing that
there is little that can be said in his favor.
Lack of condition is an argument that can
not be advanced, for there was no time for
weakness of that kind to become apparent.
His eyesight was evidently good, for in the
first close mix-up he planted his blows
we'll. Confidence did not seem to be lack
ing, as is evidenced by the rather Dragging
speeches made when in training.
Evidently Maher was much outclassed
man, and that by an opponent who con-
ceded him over fifteen pounds. Maher's
ring experience had never brought him in
contact with a man like Fitzsimmons, ever
alert for the. slightest opening to land the
fatal knockout" 1t was only another
case of a much over-rated man being sent
up agains: tried ring general, such case
as has happened in scores of fights before.
Such luck had attended Maher in his bat
ties previous to his Waterloo that there were
many shrewd men in the sporting fratern-
ity willing to back him heavily against the
long legged wonder from Australia. With
his confidence buoyed up by the judgment
of the best posted men in the country, is it
any wonder that Maher came to regard
himself as a phenomenon, ready and able
to defeat the best men in the ring today?
There is but slight chance of Maher ever
being heard of again as prominent in the
fstic arena, for his whole future depended
upon the winning of this battle. He lost
and lost quickly. easily, ridiculously, and,
as an aspirant for championship honors.
he becomes a lost soul.
1t is amusing to notice how Fitzsimmons
is paying back Corbett in his own coin for
former slurs and innendos. With proud
and lofty air, he calmly declares that Cor
bett is not in his class, and must get
reputation before he will accept any chal-
leng from the gentleman with the pompa-
dour bang. With a GOODNESS that is really
enhancing in it's insolence. Mr.. Fitzsim-
mons crates on the subject of the champ
ionship, spurning away the honor, but
wisely keeping strings thereon, so that no
other thrifty pugilist may claim it. For
several months to come we shall probably
be deluged with the long distance fights Of
these two stars of the ring, but an actual
meeting between the two men is something
SO far removed from anyone's belief that
should Gabriel's horn and the whistle for
the first round be sounded together, the
former would be entirely overlooked in the
general paralysis occasioned by the happen
ing of the latter.

A General Tendency to Higher Prices for
Good Securities
LONDON, Feb. 23.-rhe feature of the
week on the stock exchange was the fur
ther advances in investment securities.
Many holders seized the occasion to real-
ize and this, with the talk of suspension n
of the sinking fund in the event of conse,ls
continuing to advance, caused slight set
back. Most of the papers have leading ar
ticles discussing the phenomenal prices of
all good Investments and all expressing
the conviction that the time has arrived to
regard per cent as far return on a safe
investment. The increasing Difficult iy of
finding remunerative investments has the
national effect of beutering the more spec
ulative securities. as shown in the demand
for Argentines, home railways and Amer
Jean breweries. Mines show steatiy Hlar.

be said of American railways, in which
hopes are growing of permanent improve
