AN ERRONEOUS CHARGE.-The two
young men who were charged by an
acquaintance with attempting to rob
him on Saturday night last on King
street, were acquitted of the charge in
the Police Court last night. 1t seems
that the complainant, who had been
drinking, was walking on the north
side of the street, between Henry and
Fayette, when the young men, with
whom he was acquainted, accosted him
and in a jocular manner asked him if he
had any money. The plaintiff said
they made nc attempt to rob him, nor
had he any reason to suppose they had
any such intention. The Mayor, upon
hearing the statement, promptly dis
missed the young men. their action be-
ing deemed one OF pleasantly only and
the charge which had been urged base
less.

TOM SHARkEY WAS ON THE STAND.
Declares That FitZsimHOns Struck
Him Foul Blow.

San Francisco. Dee. Is. ~ The Fitzsim-
mons-Sharkey witnesses today gave no
sensational testimony, but Fitzsimmons'
friends say they are now able to prove
that a doctor performed an operation on
Sharkey to produce external evidenc" of
IN apparent foul and that he was paid $1,000
for the service. Dan Lynch, Shark@y $
manager, denied all knowledge Of a con
spiracy. and said that neither he nor Shar-
key was a member of the National club
and declared that Referee carp had no
pecuniary interest in the check for $40, 900
On cross-examination by Fitzsimmons
counsel, Lynch was asked if he had ever
been prohibited from racing at the local
tracks, and why. Opposition from Shar-
keys attorney saved the witness from the
embarrassment Of replying.
B. Benjamin, sporting reporter Wit
messed the fight, but saw no foul blow
struck by Fitzsimmons.
Tom Shnrkcy's Attraction.
Thomas Sharkeys testimony was sim
ply denial Of the stories told by his train
ers. Billy Smith and George Allen. He
never heard Of a conspiracy before the
fight and had no talk with carp and had
bet no money on the fight He declared
Fitzsimmons struck him a foul blow in
the groin. When asked why he screamed,
as if in pain, when he was with his ply
slcian in the dressing room after the light,
Sharkey said that DR.. Lee had pressed his
groin hard during the examination Litter
F'itzsimmons' blow and that the pressure
caused him great agony. He stated that
he still suffered pain from his injured
groin. Several amateur sportsmen then
testified that the recent meeting was not
a prize fight, but glove contest, SO that
the court could take cognizance of the
present action.

IS AGAINST THE RAILROADS.
gecisiHR Affecting Valuable Hands
Near Portland. Or

Washington, Dec. 14.-Chief Justice Ful-
Ter announced today the opinion of the
supreme court in the case of the United
States VS.. the Oregon & California ana
the Oregon Central Railway companies
evolving title to valuable lands nepl,
i@oftlaf4d Or, teVe.s sing the decision o.
ttle circuit court of appeals for the Ninth
circuit
The case was brought by the govern
ment to enjoin the railroad comnanies
from asserting title to certain lands in
cluded in the grant to the Oregon Gem
tral company in 1870. which afterwards
sold out to the Oregon & California com
rany. The railroad company failed to
complete its lines within the time speci-
lied, and forfeited a portion Of it's grant
The complications arose out of the fact
that 20 miles west of Portland the road
instead of proceeding in Il direct west
ward direction, turns sharply to the
south. Out of these circumstances arose
conflicting claims between the railroad
company and the government to the land
in the quadrangle lying west of the turn
ing point. The company sold much Of
the lands under its claim, and they are
no" held by claimants under this title.
The interior department claimed that the
land had been forfeited, and the pro-
ccedings which terminated today pro-
ceeded upon this theory.
The decision of the circuit court for the
district of Oregon found in favor of the
governments contention, but was revers-
ed by the circuit court of appeals for the
Ninth circuit.
The chief Justices opinion in turn re-
verses the circuit court of appeals ana
sustains the circuit court and the gov
ernments contention.
Chief Justice Fuller did not give the
courts reasons for the conclusions reach
ed. The court announced Il recess for
the holidays from next Monday until the
first Monday in January.
