day of the fight, who must give decision
in accordance with the articles of agree
ment.
As the pugilists will enter the ring at
catch weights, it is not expected that they
have trained with view of undergoing a
long strain. Carroll VIII certainly appear
in shape to fight for a mans life, and IT
goes without saying that he will put up a
great battle.
McAuliffe, on the other hand, has not
trained so faithfully as his opponent, but
he is nevertheless in fine trim to go a hot
race of ten rounds duration. He con-
tends that for ten-round contest pugil-
ist, instead of reducing flesh until he has
the appearance of a racehorse, should cul-
tiyate strength. and speed.
In conversation with some friends these
are the words McAuliffe used last Sun
day:
"This training business is all right
enough when it is properly understood.
| tram just for the kind of game l expect
to meet. / have trained now in expecta-
tion of hot argument Of ten rounds or
less. My wind IS good and l feel strong
and able to go the distance. If Carroll
whips me l will have no excuse to offer.
| am here to win and l expect to carry a
bunch of the long green back to New York
with me with best wishes for Carroll and
his friends"
L Ac says Dul
saws wood" Sufficient to say that he is
as confident of whipping McAuliffe on
this occasion as he is of entering the ring
Friday evening. There can be no such
thing as disputing the fact that the sport
ing fraternity will witness grand exhibi-
ton of science and generalship.
The preliminary bout between Hawkins
and Finnick, 1.-THE Arkansas Kid" will
also prove TO be very interesting affair.
The men are clever, and unless good
Jud ges are greatly mistaken IN their opin-
ions the stranger Finpick will give Haw-
kins hard argument. The pugilists are
booked for ten rounds, but it is doubtful if
The race will reach the limit.
Barney Farley received telegram from
Arthur I. Lumley, manager OF Jack Mad
den, the crack Eas tern bantam, yesterday,
stating that little Jimmy Anthony's chal-
lenge was accepted.
deposit of $3.50 was Immediately
made, and the news telegraphed to Lum-
ley. The latter also mentioned the fact
that Jack Downey would like bout with
Dal Hawkins. Hawkins is willing to
crafty Downey's desire.
If everything be settled satisfactorily
the contest between Anthony and Hawkins
will take place in this City within month.
Farley has been trying to match Anthony
tor some time but from the way a con-
test with him has been avoided was al
most as despairlng as when his big pro-
tege, the Mission Giant" was defeated
by Choynski.
Billy Daley, who is doing business for
the Golden West Club, received dispatch
from Colonel Hopkins of Chicago last
night to the effect that Jimmy Ryan had
just lett there for San Francisco. He is to
battle with Tommy Tracey, and the con-
test has now been definitely fixed for
Thanksgiving night at Union Hall, on
Howard street. Both men are repre-
sented TO be in fine condition.
Arrangements have been made for two
rafting preliminaries. One will probably
be between King and Dixon, who put up
so fierce contest few weeks ago before
the San Francisco Club.

TO TEST THAT
TRUST CLAUSE
Fair Will Lawyers to Turn
Their Attention in That
Direction.
A Judgment Must Be Secured
on 1t From the Supreme
Court.
Counsel for Charles Fair Reserves
the Right to Contest Within

With the famous ''pencil" document
out of the way the Fair will lawyers can
now devote themselves to the intricacies of
the "pen" or trust" will, with the SINGLE
mindedness that that document demands.
To be entirely satisfactory to the heirs
and their lawyers that "trust clause
which peryades it must be entirely elm
mated.
One great step toward that greatly
desired consummation has been taken.
On March Is Judge Slack decided that the
trust clause. so far as the real property
was concerned. is invalid.
No judgment on that decision was
given, however. That fact prevented an
appeal being taken to the Supreme Court
So we'll satisfied were the heirs with this
decision, however, that they Immediately
forsook the pencil will which they had so
strongly espoused and fell into line favor
ing the pen will. Next Tuesday before
Judge Slack the argument will be made
upon the question of the validity of the
trust clause with regard to personal prop
erty.
Ii the court should decide the trust
clause invalid as TO personal property,
and render Judgment to that effect, any
one OF the heirs may take an appeal. II
judgment is rendered the other way, then
the trustees may take an appeal. 1t is
necessary that the Supreme Court be
reached with this point and decision
secured. If Judge Slack renders iudg-
ment in the matter of the persona, prop
erty as he has already done with regard
to the real property, and the Supreme
Court shall affirm his Judgment, this will
leave the heirs nothing 10 desire. 1t will
only remain then for them to divide up
the immense property after the expiration
of the period of one year as provided by
law.
If the Supreme Court, however, should
decide against them-that Is TO say,
should decide that the trust clause is
valid-then the heirs would no doubt con-
test the will, and it is not impossible
that the pencil will might again find
favor in their eyes.

Fair. when the pen will went to probate
to contest the will later if he saw tit. He
claims that right belongs to him for one
year, Notwithstanding that the will of the
list has been admitted to probate.
This opinion is, however, opposed by
many other lawyers, who claim that
Knight and the Fair children have had
their day in court; that their opportunity
to contest the will, they having had full
notice, is past.
The argument next Tuesday will be
made by Garret McEneruey for the trus.

Hearing OF the Guadalupe Land Case
Before the Registrar and Re-
Ceiyer Yesterday.

Before the Registrar and Re-
ceiver Yesterday.
The hearing of the Guadalupe land case
was resumed yesterday before the Regis
trar and Receiver of the United States
Land Office. The principals in the con-
tention are the farmers residing on 900
acre tract about four miles from Los
Gatos, and the Guadalupe Quicksilver
Mining Company, which claims the tract
as mineral lands. The property has been
in dispute for several years, the settlers
going ahead toward the completion of
their filings and the mining people pro-
testing against the issuance of the deeds
by the land office under the homestead
act.
The agricultural claimants have been
permitted by the Government to improve
their holdings. planting orchards and
vineyards, until it is alleged the so-caIled
quicksilver lands blossom as the rose.
Last month they appeared before the
Registrar to finish proving up their en-
tries, and were met by the mining COM
pany with a protest. Testimony was
heard on both sides for several days and
the case went over till November II.

that was ever fought in this City, and Me-
Auliffe, who was in poor condition when
he entered the ring, showed wonderful
generalship throughout the contest. Sev-
eral times during the battle Carroll had
his opponent going. but something in
variably happened-frequently the timely
sound of the gong-that saved McAuliffe
from knockout. Jack Dempsey was one
OF McAuliffe's seconds, and to his admir-
able coaching the lightweight champion
can attribute his success.
Carroll was in good condition and he
entered the ring confident of whipping
his clever opponent. Doubtless he would
have succeeded were it not for the
poor generaIship he displayed IN
the latter part of the fight. When he
found McAuliffe was fast going on his last
kicks, j immy rushed in to finish his game.
Jack met him with his elbow, the point oi
which caught Carroll in the eye. The

The life of conductor on streetcar

terms it, but the work is more exacting
than most people have any notion Of
The strain has sent more than one man to
folly. 1t will send others.
This anecdote in illustration will suit.
1t is related by lady of unquestioned in
tegrity and is doubtless true even in the
minutest detail. She boarded a down
town car at about 9:30 early in Septem Der
and noticed that the conductor was very
nervous. When he took her fare he could
scarcely hold the change in his hand, ana
eventually she became sure that the man
had s'been on a drunk" 1t was a cruel
misapprehension, but only natural.
The poor fellow was evidently suffering
acute pain in his back, loins and kidneys
for he continually rubbed these Darts him
self, and he was bathed in cold perspira-
ton.
The business of collecting fares had to
be gone on with, nevertheless, but by the
time the ferries were nearly reached the
vitality had almost left the frame.

the tale left for the various boats. She
went to him and offered him a sin of

terested in medicine and knew his straits.
She suggested his being relieved by an
other conductor. That was done. but
when he came to take off his bell punch
the poor fellow dropped it, so weak and
nervous was he.

ical Institute, and when he was carried up
