CAvILL's DEATH
The Swimmer Fooled Worse Than the
Public

| STOCKTON, May 23.-The death of
Charles Cavill, the noted swimmer, here
| last night is ascribed to peculiar
cause. 1t is thought that he was as
phyxiated by gas instead of being
drowned. The Stockton baths, where
the fatal exhibition was given. are filled
with water that comes from natural gas
wells and gas arises with the water in
the tank. Cavill's exhibition of staying
under water for several minutes is said
to be a trick to fool the people,. for the
swimmer used an inverted tub, contain
ing air. in which to breathe while he
was under water. The tub used last
night was placed in the water during the
day and left with sufficient air for the
exhibitor to breathe for several min
utes.
Cavill went down and went under this
tub as he had planned. and there died. 1t
is believed that when the tub was drawn
down under the water it was filled with
gas, which, while not poisonous, is dead
ly, for 1t causes immediate asphyXiation
When Cavill got under this tank and
breathed the gas he lost consciousness.
Drs. Manley and Hinkle, who were
called in, say there was no water in the
lungs, and that Cavill was asphyxiated
by gas.
Cavill was born in England and came
from family of famous swimmers.
When II years old he commenced his
racing career and won over 100 races.
During that time he saved twenty-one
persons from drowning at sea, and held
medals from the Royal Humane society,"
the National Shipwreck society and the
Shipwrecked Mariners society.
He came here recently from Australia
and Immediately acquired notoriety by
swimming across the Golden Gate and
around Seal rocks, feats that no SWIM
mer had previously accomplished.

NEW YORK. May 23-In the glove
contest last night in which Caspar Leon
of this city defeated Edward Vaughn Of
Trenton, N. j., Vaughn was struck on
the jaw and knocked down. His head
struck the floor and he became uncon-
scious and was taken to the Manhattan
hospital, where he has not recovered
consciousness. He sustained concus-
sion of the brain, probably fracture Of
the skull.
Leon, Jimmy Carroll, the referee, j.
E. Kennedy, manager of the National
Athletic club, at which the contest was
held, the timekeeper and seconds were
arrested. Leon was released on $1,000
bail for examination. The others were
also released on bail.
When Vaughn was knocked uncon-
scious there was great excitement, and
DR. Finey was summoned. The physician
found that Vaughn's heart was scarce
ly beating. The doctor worked over the
unconscious man about two hours and
then Vaughn opened his eyes. He did
not, however, regain complete con-
sciousness.
He is suffering" said the physician,
Simply from the shock There is no
cerebral hemorrhage. The serious
effect of the blow was due to the fact
that Vaughn was nearly exhausted
when struck. That is a risk every
fighter runs. He will undoubtedly re-
cover"
At the Manhattan hospital to which
Vaughn was removed, the physicians
were not so confident Of Vaughn's re-
covery. but thought that the chances
were in his favor

evident that Davis had less experience
than his fistic opponent. The leading
was all done by Ross, who seemed as
agile as a cat in getting away from
terrific lunges. Ross played for Davis
body, but changed his tactics after the
third round on account of the claims
of fouling made by the spectators.
Neither could hit hard, although 1t
looked as if Ross would eventually
knock Davis out by his left-hand jabs,
but the gameness Of the soldier and his
ability to stand punishment prevented
him from collapsing. The men fought
each other like tigers up to the thirty
first and last round. Then Davis was
nearly out, and to save him from certain
defeat his seconds laid claim to foul
and refused to allow their man to con-
tinue, whereupon the referee awarded
the fight to the young Hebrew. The
fight was for a purse of 5000 and the
