Doctors and Reporters Testify Against
the Foul Blow Theory.

San Francisco. Dec 15.-Tom Shark
ey,looking little the worse for his drub-
bing, was in court yesterday when the
controversy for the possession of the
ten thousand dollars purse was renew
ed.
Fitzsimmons and Julian attempted to
expose the alleged conspiracy against
FltzSimmOnS, but when Julian was ask
ed for positive proof, he produced moth
ing but hearsay testimony. Julian re-
lated his efforts to have Lynch join
him in selecting a. referee. stating that
Lynch purposely placed the choice of
the referee in the hands of the Nation
al club, which named carp Julian
said Police Commissioner Gust and Ri
ley Grammar had come to him before
the fight to tell him carp had been
fixed" He quoted Riley Grammar as
having overheard a conversation be-
tween carp and Joe Harvey 2 DOCK
maker in the course of which Harvey
said. Then it's all right is it2' To
which carp had replied. You can de-
pend on me-
Julian's testimony sought to involve
the National club. Sharkey, Lynch and
carp in the alleged conspiracy. Fitz
denied he had struck any foul blow and
repeated Julian's story about the warn
Ings not to accept carp as referee. DIT
u. d. Lustg's testimony was not much
rehshed by Sharkey. He said he was
the medical examiner for the National
club and had examined Sharkey before
the fight After Sharkey had been ia
ken to his room. Lustig, with four 9TH

hurt, offered their services, but they

injury superficial He said it was in

of much pain. The injuries to the groin
might have been caused by artificial
means. such as the injection of acidula-

had a majority in one branch of the

possible, under present conditions. that

T.. J. Pyle Of this city is in receipt Of

making inquiry of the ability of our
garden farmers to furnish specified
amounts of certain kinds of vegetables
for a pickle factory in Topeka, says the

Mr. Frost suggests that the inquiry
comes through the assistant freight
agent of the Santa Fe and with the as
surance that freight rates on the vege-
tables asked for viii be made in the in
terest of the shippers.
As an indication of the magnitude of
the business, he suggests that ;. 900
bushels of cucumbers, 5000 10 5000
bushels of tomatoes. 200. 900 pounds of
cabbage. $4,000 pounds of cauliflower
and 1000 bushels Of small white onions

the factory is anxious that assurances
be given them by the gardeners around
Garden City that they can rely upon.

WANT COAL LEGISLATION.
Southern Kansas Coal Dealers to Get
After the Roads.

Hutchinson Dec. 15.-The coal dealers
of this city met yesterday for the pur-
pose of starting the work of organizing
the coal dealers of southern Kansas to
work together to secure legislation at
this session of the legislature for their
protection. says the Hutchinson News
Their scheme is to get a bill through
compelling railroads to weigh and deliver
coal at destination weights. The railroads
collect freight on billing weights which are
often estimated by the shipper. and it is
not uncommon for the local dealer to be
compelled to pay freight on 5000 or 10000
pounds that had never been loaded on the
car. Our dealers propose TO have this
remelIel il Dosslnle.
