JOE GODDARD'S MISTAKE.
Nothing to Be Gained in His
Meeting Faker Tom
Sharkey.
The Barrier Champion Now Looking
to the BOOKSELLERS
End.

Joe Goddard Is IN aking great mistake
in meeting Faker Sharkey In the roped
arena. II Goddard meets the sailor and
defeats him what Will be make? Sharkey,
having no pugilistic reputation since the
FitZsim mons battle, Goddard cannot add
TO his ring laurels by whipping him, and
as for the purse that Goddard will get in
case he downs the sailor, it won't support
him in idleness week. 1t is very unfor-
tunate for Goddard that this match was
ever arranged. No matter how it will
turn out it cannot be but disastrous to the
Barrier champion.
All the liberal patrons Of tile ring
those who in the past have paid $40 $50
and $50 for a seat-declare that they
would not pay nickel to see Snarkey in
the ring with Goddard. The sailor is a
dead frost and even Manager Abrahams
of the Knickerbocker Club admits this
fact.
Goddard will do his training for the
coming battle" either at Alameda or
Sausalito. Sharkev will train at the Six
mile House. Both men say they are
ready TO fight to-day.
Goddard is kicking like a Klondike
mule because his manager agreed to ac-
cept percentage of the gate receipts in
| stead of purse from the Knickerbocker
| Club. which is managed by u. Abraham
and Dan Lynch, Sharkey's manager.
Goddard is now aware of the fact that
the fight will end in frost for all con-
cerned, as the gullibles who have paid to
support fake fights in this city shipped
for Dawson when the gold fever started.

are told every day. Montana is shut up
tight so far gambling is concerned and
many of the snorts from that State have
come to San Francisco. The LEGISLATURE
OF Montana passed a law which makes
poker playing punishable by imprison-
ment in iail.
The advance guard of the sports say
that the word has been passed along the
line that the authorities of San Francisco
are going to remove many of the restric-
tions on gambling. The notion has been
advanced that the prosperity of early
times was due largely to the presence of
the sports When everything was run
wide open the city was prosperous and
mOnev abundant. Retail merchants are
quoted as saying that they want the town
open to games of all kinds, so that visit
ors may be attracted to the city.
The authorities at the present time are
making things very comforta bic for the
sports. Big games are now running day
and night, and the police never molest the
players or the spectators The game at
the Burlington Is said to be booming
along. The Baldwin game does thriv-
ing business, and not long since young
swell was jacked out of $4,000 in the Pal
ace game. Ii Gunst wants the town

DEATH MASK OF DR.. ROBINSON.

in that courtroom for many wears. With
rare tact ne confined him self to the weak
est point in the fortitications of the prose-
cutlon, and that was the testimony of the
mulatto messenger, billiard, and that of
the ex-Chief Deputy Louis Loupe with
regard to tie EN- beZzlement OF the salary
OF E. c. Akin.
Tne confession made by Diliard that at
Welburn's request he had forged the
name OF h. Z. Akin to the payroll, imi-
tatlng Aklns genuine signature, was held
up for the inspection of the jury, and this
was helg by the fact that billiard
and Louis Loupe had made oath to each
voucher not only that Akin had per-
formed the services for which the salary
was to be paid to him, but that he had also
signed the voucher in their presence.
Thus, contended Mr.. Gould, perjury had
been added TO forgery.
The strong motive actuating billiard as
witness for the prosecution, the fact that
since he gave his testimony al the pre-
Iminary examination his salary had been
raised from 5000 to $500 per annum, were
commented upon ana The inference was
brought forth that Dllard' in terest in
having escaped prosecution for forgery
and perjury was so strong that his testl-
mony should be taken with the same eau
tion as that of a defendant before whom
the gates of the penitentiary might be
yawninG.
MIR. Gould intimated that Akin's salary
had not gone as far as Welburn because
the Akin checks had been presented at
the sub-treasury for payment all alone
and never with other checks on the pay
roll.
Loupe and billiard were denounced in
the strongest terms as forgers and per-
iurers, and Special Agent Thrasher was
personitied as a sleuthhound, with no nose
for the beautiful fragrance of flowers and
a scent only for the blood of his victim,
the victim in this case being ex- Collector
Welburr.
Mr.. Foote closed for the prosecution and
the jury retired at half past 8.
Six hours later the jury arrived at a
verdict, and at l0:30 he had been declared
guIltless of the charges against him.

Mr.. McGlynn is native son, and for

Moore CLUB, but also in the Y. NJ. l. and

he went upstairs to a private room, and
standing on the spot where bis son Harry
dropped dead few months ago, he p! !aced
the muzzle of revolver under his righ
ear and fired. The report brought the
employees of the esta Dlishment to the
scene and in short time the injured man
was on his way to the City Front Receiv-
ing Hospital. The surgeons did every
thing possible for the wounded man, but
held out no hope for his life.
There seems to be no doubt but that the
deed was the result OF worry. His son
Harry was an unusually bright young
fellow about 10 years old. He was great
favorite with his father and frequently
visited him at the office. He was subject
to epileptic fits, and one of them seized
him about three months ago and he died

Houses mileage book nad been used on

Col. BOothby has replied that House has

Last evening, the Journals Wateryille

ing that a Mr. Bosnian of Fairfield, while
crossing the bridge between the latter
town and Benton, saw a young man, very
closely resembling the missing Colby stu
dent, running wildly down through the
field of Bunker's island, toward the lower
end of the island. Communication was
at once made by telephone with the Fair
field representative of the Journal and
instructions were given him to hunt down
the clue.
He reports that Mr.. Bosnian reported
what he saw to Chief of Police Furber
Later the Journal man who is a Colby
student. assisted in organizing party to
search the island. Officers Furber and
Spaulding went with the party, and when
the island was reached Officer Spaulding
was placed in charge of the gate. while
the rest of the party. which numbered
between SO and 49, proceeded with the
search of the island.
The Journal man found Mrs. Maxfield
who lives near the bridge, and from her
learned that she had seen a young
in the afternoon, and she thought that he
acted as though he was out of his head"
The reporter also found Mr. Hodgkins
who had seen the same young man on the
island.
The searching party moved down the
open part of the island in a body and then
divided into two parties. each taking q
shore of the river. Officer Furber had
charge of one party and the reporter the
other, but not trace of anyone was
found except a few almost obliterat ted
tracks that led down to the water at the
foot of the island. The Journal man then
started out on search in the village of

sccoped from the water a net filed
with three, four. five-pound trout and
salmon. The scene was bit exciting
to a loolser-on. Quickly the fish were
sorted, males here, females here, trout
in this boiler, brown trout in this one,
salmon over here. Some OF the fsh

finally, Mr.. Stanley himself drew out
magnificent trout, male, which would
tip the scales at eight pounds, at least.

him up till a camera fiend could catch

records. the largest trout Of the brook

picture taken, the big fellow was put
back into the water, as the fish are
never killed. but kept for breeding.
Several salmon as large as the trout
were dipped out, and on more than one
occasion showed fight to a surprising
