The Guardian Insurance Company Versus

To THE PUBLIC MANY SANDER
Gus and malicious circulars have
been scattered over this county by
insurance companies belonging to
the trust, hoping TO destroy conf
dence in the Guardian Insurance
Company, which is their only OBJ
stacle to a raise in their rates. They
first tried to force the Agent of the
Guardian here to join the LEGAL
board but, failing in this, they are
now resorting to every low means
to break down confidence in it. We
herewith submit letter from K. B.
Craig, Insurance Commissioner,
which will set at rest all reports sas
to the company's not being in legal
standing.
Before closing, allow us to thank
our many friends, for the liberal
patronage given our company and to
solicit a continuance Of same, and
also to express to them and the in
surfing public our utmost confidence
in the Guardian. Respectfully,

in the City at present owing to theinaugura-

consequence the attendance was cOnsid-
cred small
But Manager Collins was not diSma yed by
the absence OF dollars at the box office, and
said the fights would be pulled off as
promised He said the clubs promises TO
the public should he fulfilled, though the
loss would be considerable
The preliminary was between Arthur
Jones, the strawberry blonde quadroon."
Of this city, and Tim Callahan, an at
tenuated youngster OF IO5 pounds, hail
ing from Philadelphia Tim is some
thing OF a marvel. He has more fight
and fistic science enSconced within his
brief anatomy than anything that has
come TO Washington lately, or perhaps
ever before.
Jones was twenty pounds heavier than
his Cauca sian opponent, but Tim was
very lively and vicious and would have
stayed the six rounds had he not been
given the decision over Arthur on a foul.
1t looked for a time as if the main
event billed for the evening would prove
a Gasco. Wilson objected 10 the rubber
bandage on Juth's hands, and insisted
on them being taken off. Juth said
nothing in the rules forbid the tape and
that Wilson could bandase II he chose
Juth explained that both of his hands
were in a broken condition, owing to
frequent fights of late and that ne would
have to use the bandageS-
Finally, after much wran Cling, Juth was
allowed to retain the protection to his
bruised palms, and the fight was ordered
on.
Wilson was esquired by Will Kennedy,
Dave Cleveland, and George Winsted-
Frank DOwery, Martin Neary, and Tim
Callahan were in Juth's corner.
The referee was Prof George, with
Jimmy Fontaine as timekeeper. The con-
test was commenced at II O'Clock.

ATTEMPTS AUGHTER
George X. NOwland Seeks Release
from Drink Habit.
Bullet Grazed His Saul but Does Not
Reach the Brain-In His
Mothers Presence.

George r Nowland wanted to die, but
his pistol was not of heavy caliber and
he only succeeded in innicting scalp
wound from which, the physicians say,
he will soon recover. The bullet which
he attempted to send through his brain
did not get through his skull.
Nowland is twenty-three years old and
a bricklayer He is unmarried, and re-
sides with his parents at No. 494 II
street southwest. His father, Ge orge
Nowland, is a contractor, and the young
mans family is favorably known III South
Washington.
Last night young George went home
about Z Clock. He had been drinking
during the day, and was slightly intoxi-
Gated, though he knew what he was doing.
Several times he has threatened to take
his life when Respondent over a trifle.
When he entered the house his father
reproached his son in kindly manner, and
it seemed to humiliate the young man.
He went out into the kitchen, lay down
upon a couch and began to weep. His
mother asked him if he was hungry, to
which he replied that he was, and as she
set about preparing the meal, George
arose and went to his room upstairs.
Just as his supper was ready for him
he came down stairs with a pistol in his
hand. Mrs. Nowland did not see it plainly,
and asked her son what he had in his hand,
but she received an eyasive answer. Then,
before his hand could be stayed, he raised
his arm, and seemingly aiming the pistol
at his head. fired one shot and then another.
The first bullet went wide of its mark.
The second entered the young man S scalp
in front of the right ear, glazed along
the skull bone for a couple of inches and
passed out behind the ear, without pene-
trating the skull.
As soon as Mrs. NowIand heard the shots
she rushed across the street to the home of
her daughter. When she left George
dropped the pistol in the kitchen and
dashed out into the street. blood streaming e
from his self-inflicted wound.
At the corner of Sixth street he was
captured by Harry High and Dan Moore
and turned over to Policemen Rogers and
Reinhard.
The police patrol from No. 4 station
was called and removed Nowland to the
Emergency Hospital, where Drs. Lawrence
and Turner attendedthe man. The wound
was probed, but no fracture Of the bone
could be found, and after the surgeons
had cleansed the wound it was bandaged
and George was sent to a ward.
The young manwas somewhat W eak from
loss of blood, al the bullet had severed his
templar vein, and a trail of blood was
left over the course where he ran after
shooting himself. The only motive he
would assign for his attempt to commit
suicide was that he was deeply Inundated
because of his drink habit.

The Dog May Bite Fitz.

New York, March 2.-several small
wagers were made on the big fight early
yesterday morning in a popular Sixth
avenue restaurant. Seven to five were
the ruling odds, but one bet OF 500 to
$50 on Corbett was made by BILLY"
Fleishmann, well-known young athlete,
taking the Fitzsimmons end. Fleish-
mann, who is an out and out Corbett man,
wanted to bet $50 against $500 that Fitz-
simmons would not fight-that he would
find some way of breaking his contract
before st. Patrick's Day. why said
Fleshmann, ''Fitz has already had
sprained wrist, a bad cold in the head
and a severe pain in his chest In a
fortnight he will make it convenient to
burst a blood vessel or have Yarrum take
a bite at an arm or leg. That dog is
not at Carson for nothing. He has got
to be fed, and Fitzsmmons' beef will be
cheap enough to feed him about that
time"
