The last round was hot, Green punching
McArthu- hard and sending him home
just bit groggy. The cordial hand-shake
at the finish made the crowd laugh. and
the exhibition was voted the best seen at
the Olympic Club in years.
Jack DAVIS and G. Van Buskirk were the
active participants in the last bout, which
was scheduled for eight rounds.
Davis weighed IT'S and his opponent 1S5,
and both showed up in good condition.
Corbett refereed the bout, which was des-
tined TO be of short duration. Unfortun-
ate old Jack Davis. after making a good
showing in the opening rallies, went out
because of his total inability to stand a
punch--not but what he Is game, for he
is always that, but because of the fact that
his nervous system all goes to pieces when
he gets hard blow. He hit Van Buskirk
repeatedly with the left in the opening
round, but was Knocked groggy Just before
the gong sounded, the call of time saving
him.
In the second he came TO the scratch ap-
parently strong, but in the first rally a
blow on the cheek sent him reeling, and a
right swing on the neck sent him down.
His head struck the floor with resound-
ing whack that could be heard all over the
hall, and it was fully five minutes before
he came TO.

voted steadily against him until the final
rollcall and then he answered Bryan"
in one sense l am pleased with the
choice; in another l am not" he said
Personally [ like Bryan well enough,
and went to st. Louis well disposed
toward him. He has long had strong
leaning toward Populism, has spoken for
them and has helped to elect some of
them to office. Still, as straight Popu-
list would have very much preferred to
see straight Populist nominated for the
highest office. / think it would have solid
ihed the party and brought more substan-
tiaI results.
But viewing the situation as it was
from the whole environments believe it
was best to accept Bryan and thereby put
IN force the silver reform, that In its train
all the other reforms for which Populists
are laboring may be set in motion.
In accepting the candidate of the
Democratic platform, however, | wish it
may be said for me what Populism saws 10
Democracy: We meet you on a fair, open
plane, your equals-not your vassals. We
want fair division of the honors and
prestige in the event OF success. Ii you
deny us this then, by the Eternal, Nc
Kinley shall be the next President
WHAT do we consider a fair division
We will be satisfied with four of the nine
Presidential electors; three of the seven

Hades freezes UP"
Mr.. Rogers went on to tell the interest
ing story of how the Bryan men fought
and won at st. Louis:
when we arrived there we found the
Bryan men organized and In full working
order, with crowd of rOoters that greeted
rs at every turn with .'Rahs for Bryant
This surprised us.
1.-The leaders were Weaver, Simpson and
Allen. They had come with the professed
intention OF showing Bryan down our
throats whether We wanted him or not.
They had headquarters at the Lindeli
House. They were, of course, supported
by agents of the Democratic party who

Nearly every year since its organization

It's an offshoot of the First California

1t was first known as the San Francisco
City Guard, and this, on March 81, 1854.
became the Independent City Guard. Or
March II, 1859, the company was reor.
ganized as the City Guard, and it was
again attached to the State militia, from
which it had been separated as an inde.
pendent company for five years. 1t was
then attached to the Second Division of
the Second Brigade of the California State
militia.
Soon after the first officers of the CITY
Guard were elected the First Battalion
was formed, battalion composed of in
fantry. cavalry and artillery. The
lleutenant-colonel and the major of this
battalion were chosen from the CITY
Guard officers, Captain Doane being made
lieutenant-colonel and First Lieutenant
Mckenzie major. These consolidated
companies formed the nucleus of what
was afterward the First Regiment.
During the war the old City Guard fur
nished large number of volunteers. and
many of them came home high in rank
and alter winning fame and honors. 1t
was just at the beginning of the war, Nav
2S, 1851, that the First Infantry Regi-
ment was formed, and in this new forma-
ton the City Guard became Company B.

A JUDGE AND A SERGEANT
Davis and Conlan Lock Horns
Over a Case in
Court
Difference of Opinion in Regard to an
Arrest Made on the Bicycle
Parade Night.

Police Judge Conlan went into Police
Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday after
noon and stated that Sergeant Davis of
the police force had sworn 10 falsehood
in the case OF the State against Charles
Code, Nicholas Buja and James Frazier,
three men who were arrested and charged
with disturbing the peace on the night of
the big bicycle parade.
Sergeant Davis had sworn that he ar
rested defendants first for obstructing tn e
sidewalk, but preferred the more serious
charge later at the request of his superior
officers. that the second cases were
brought before Judge Joachimsen .at
Conlan's suggestion, Conlan saying he
had enough of those cases and that the
other Police Court Judges ought to take
some"
Speaking of the matter last night
Sergeant Davis said: Judge Conlan was
hasry in saying I swore falsely. He has
acted that way with people before. He
did positively suggest several times that /
take the other cases before Judge
Joachimsen, as he had enough of them.
Judge Conlan did not try the cases that
were in his court; did not swear witness,
but took the bit in his mouth and let tie
defendants go on statements made by them
when they were not under oath. / stick to
my story. If Judge Conan says he did
not suggest that | take the other cases
elsewhere he himself tells falsehood.
Judge Joachimsen took the view that
the defendants ought to have been fined
for obstructing the streets, and so de-
clared from the bench. but he let them go
on the other charge of disturbing the
peace. saying that be thought they had
been punished enough by the arrest and
imprisonment to which they had already
been Subjected" !"

and tickets scattered about the floor, but

burglars helped themselves to can goods
enough to satisfy tLeir appeties. Tho
thaw and rain of Friday night softened
up the surface of the ground so that the
burglars left well defined tracks about
the scene of their operations. These
tracks showed that there were four men

in his hand go into the store during the
night but thinking that he was Mr..

Company B (Gadets.) This company

tioe, Its per cent Of marksmen is above
the average in the regiment. Continual
Improvement can BIZ safely predicted.
Company e (Montgomery Guards. }
This company has made gain in marks
men bat its weak condition Is apparent
and its carrying 40 per cent of its men
without any practice whatever cannot
but give 1t low place as military or
ganization.
Company L (Sheridan Ri6es.) This
season, but it's condition 10 anything but
satisfactory. Every effort has been made
to interest the company, but many OF the
men are Indifferent to che work necessary
to become efficient soldiers. l cannot see
much hops of gain in this command. 1t
being a young company OF active young
men, there has been an expectation of
seeing the company take high rank as
marksmen. hope I may mistake as to
it's future in this regard.
In connection with the question Of
making marksmen In the companies In
the city of Portland, it is urged that the
range facilities are not what they should
be to accommodate the four companies.
There Is some force in this claim, but
that is not the reason why better stand
Ing is not secured by some of the compa-
MES mentioned.
The city has provided excellently for
the care of the companies In Portland,
and with this encouragement, and the
posi- bflity of a new range, Companies e
and l. ought to be depended upon to
make a better advancement.
