agreed not to obstruct the internal reve-

on as sure winner after the first four
rounds A squad of police was pres
ent. but as the gloves used We're extra
large it was thought that the fighters
could not seriously injure each other
and the contest was allowed to pro-
coed. Evans fought game uphill
battle and occasionally made surpris-
ing saliies.
The knockout came early in the four
teenth round. Semichy caught Evans
near the point of the chin with right
hand blow, knocking him off his feet.
Evans head struck the hard wood floor
with a resounding bump After Evans
was counted out he was taken to a
dressing room and a physician sum-
moned. 1t was found he was injured
seriously. Semichy was at once placed
under arrest and will be kept in con-
fnement pending the outcome.

The Road From Salt Lake to Los
Angeles.
THE vANDERBILTS' PLANS
HAVE AN IMPORTANT BEARING
ON THE PROJECT.
Terminal Facilities Have Been Sc
cured-General Manager Bancroft
Leaves For Boston on Saturday
The Western Passenger Associa-
tion-Latest By Wire.

The Los Angeles Herald of April Is
contains 2-eelumn article on the
prospects Of a railroad from Salt Lake
TO the City of Los Angeles. The ar
ticle gives an account of the previous
attempts at building a line to connect
the two cities and states reasons then
unexpected, which caused the aban-
comments of the project and then goes
on to say that when the Short Line
was segregated from the Union Pacific
the Vanderbilts obtained the control
of the former and when the present
foreclosure proceedings against the
Union Pacific are contaminated the
Nanderbilts will have control of the
Union Pacific also. With the comDle-
ton of this deal matters in regard to
the road to Los Angeles viii assume
a definite shape and building will begin
at once. The terminal facilities at
Los Angeles" the Herald says. have
already been secured and the harbor
has gone TO San Pedro. When the con-
tracts for the Improvement OF the har
Dor are signed, arrangements will at
once be entered into by the Terminal
road for affording haFbor and termi-
nal facilities for the Salt Lake road
and its construction will shortly be
under way.
With the breaking of ground by
the Vanderbilts will come the con-
struction of another road having as its
objective point the city of Los An
geles. The Santa Fe system will buy
or lease the Eastern California road,
which runs from Blake staten on the
road north TO Marvel. and build NORTH
some 260 miles TO meet the southern
road at Marysvale. or the Rio Grande
Western will build south and COM
plete the gap itself. Both interests are
furtively watching each other, and the
commencement OF construction by one
road will undoubtedly be followed by
like action on the part of the other, so
that if the unexpected win only not
happen again this city can rest as
sured Of two lines to Salt Lake in the
not far distant future"
