MURDER ENDS
 THEIR DISPUTE Fatal Fight in Salinas
 Valley. QUARREL OF TWO RANCHERS EDWARD MILLS KILLED BY
 TIMOTHY CRAIG. Shot When His Back Is Turned After Having Worsted His Enemy in Rough-and-Tumble
 Combat.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

SALINAS, June 29.-Ill will, Jealousy and n old feud have eliminated in a fatal shooting affray between two old men, friends for several decades and residents of this valley for some thirty five years. Timothy Craig, the slayer, has seen 61 and his victim. Edward Mills, was 62 years old. Formerly good friends, quarrels over land and things not worth noticing made them bitter enemies.
 From the testimony In the hands of District Attorney Zabala Craig, on Thursday, June 14, at o'clock in the morning, was driving a band of horses from Moss Landing toward Pajaro, and while crossing the bridge over Elkhorn Slough, near the town of Castroville saw Mills on the opposite end of the bridge. Mills afterWard claimed he was shooting birds with a shotgun when he noticed Craig approach. An altercatfon enSued over the charge by Mills that Craig was pasturing horses on Mills lot. The lie was passed and Mills, it is alleged, laid down his gun and announced himself ready to fight Craig with fists. A fierce struggle fol lowed, during which Craig broke away from his opponent and. wrenched a picket from fence close by. With this he struck Mills. Another scuff1e re- suited in Craig being disarmed and crying quits. Mills, having vanquished his neighbor, turned to go, when Craig picked up the loaded shotgun from the grass and discharged it point blank at Mills, perforating the right side of his body and head with No. shot.
 After having shot Mills Craig went home and Mills hurried for medical aid It was then thought Mills was but slightly wounded and Craig, who was arrested for assault to murder, was re- leased on 5000 bonds to appear before the Superior Court. Mills was taken to the Watsonville Sanitarium and made comfortable, but owing to his habits and mode of life erysipelas set in and he died early this morning.
 Craig has been rearrested and charged win l-urder. Craig claims he acted in self-defense as he had re- peatedly been thrashed by Mills.

doubtful distinction of being a foul fighter, he never had lost a battle on a foul and that he would show himself to be fair fighter in the contest about to begin.
 Sharkey said he weighed TIT pounds. Ruhlin confessed to tipping the beam at 190 pounds. Alexander Brown was selected as referee. Ruhlin and Shar- key eyed each other across the ring while the preliminaries to the contest were being shaped. The conditions gov erning the match called for twenty five rounds. Sharkey had the call in the betting at odds of 10 to '. There was quite an argument between O'Rourke, representing Sharkey, and Madden, representing Ruhlin, over cer- tain features of the rules. Sharkey wanted it understood that hitting in the breakaway was permissible while Ruhlin wanted such a blow considered foul. He wanted to break clean after a clinch. They finally decided not to hit in the breakaway.
 The referee then called the men to the center, the timers struck the bell and the contest which meant so much to the pugilistic future of both men was on.
 Ruhlin opened with left swing on the wind. Sharkey sent back a left swing on the head. Ruhlin jabbed his left on the wind and Sharkey swung a left on the wind and jabbed his right on Ruhlin's head. Ruhlin, after a couple of clinches, jabbed his left on the face and Sharkey swung right and left on the head. Ruhlin jabbed his left on the face twice and Sharkey swung right and left to the head, which staggered Ruhlin.
 Then Sharkey, seeing his advantage, quickly swung his right across flush on Ruhlin's jaw, dropping the Ohio giant to the floor, where Ruhlin lay helpless while the referee counted ten seconds and then declared Sharkey the winner. Time of round, two minutes and seventeen seconds.

RIGHT SWING ON THE JAW

Special Dispatch to The Cali.

NEW YORK, June 29.-"Tom" Sharkey, the Pride of the Navy" as Billy Jordan is prone to introduce Sharkey to California audiences, put Gus" Ruhlin, the Ohio Giant, out in almost record time in the arena of the Greater New York Athletic Club at Coney Island tonight. Sharkey won after two minutes and seventeen sec onds of fighting in the first round, a right hand swing on the jaw settling Ruhlin's claims to the winners share of the purse and heavyweight champion ship ambitions It was fast fight and many hard blows were exchanged
 It was clear the battle would be a short one. Ruhlin landed frequently and with force, but only once did he phease the sailor. Sharkey was remark ably cool and self-possessed. He fought steadily and with good judg- ment. His tactics were fair and created a favorable impression.
 The blow which knocked Ruhlin out was terrific right hand punch on the jaw. Ruhlin staggered like a ship in heavy storm and then pitched for ward, falling heavily on his face.} He tried to arise, but was unable to get on his feet, and was counted out. After the battle Sharkey addressed the sports thus:
 Gentlemen: I am now prepared to make a match with Fitzsimmons, Cor bett or Mccoy for purse and s10,0OO a side"
 Sharkey received an ovation as he left the ring. His victory over Ruhlin reminded one of John L. Sullivans success when the famous Boston boy met and easily defeated all corners.

There is the further element of which the military authorities are giving careful attention, that one man intrenched behind earthworks or in rifle pits Is worth three men in the open.

 It was announced at the War De partment that by their reports 5000 sol diers should be leaving Tampa to-day to join Shafter. They will be three or four days on the voyage, and it is prob able that it is this force that General Shafter refers to as likely to arrive too late for his action.

Shakespearean Notes

| At the Bijou theater, Brooklyn last
week there was Shakespearean revival
of more than ordinary interest. A COM
pany headed by Charles Pope, Edmund
Collier, and Eben Plympton appeared in a
repertoire consisting of LAS You Like IT,
Julius Caesar" "Othello," and "Richard
Ill" The chief Importance attached to
the event was caused by the re-appear-
| arce. after several years of retirement
from the stage. of Mr.. Pope. To hear so
sood a legitimate actor as Mr. Pope, says
the Dramatic Mirror, is indeea Il pleas
ure. His reading of the lines was most
!! careful and intelligent, and his voice is of
a sonorous and forcibe timbre. His face
is peculiarly adapted to the expression.

Briefly. Mr.. Pope's Brutus was powerful

Who might have been Desdemona, and
was her handkerchief edged with lace?
Cesare-Augusto Levi has been working
back into the story of the Moor trying to
find out the facts in the case, and Shakes
peare's authority. Signor Levi writes:
'She was not. as l have read, a good for
nothing but IL girl of great beauty mar
ried very young, as her wedding contract,
which have had in my possession, is only
sixteen years posterior to that of her
mother, Q517-1533.) She did not reach a
great age. l have not been able to ascer-
tain whether she, dicdt of grief or by vio-
lence, but she disappears without her name
being tarnished. In the voting papers of
the grand council of Venice find the name
of Othello after his victory over the Turks.
while among the chevaliers of the republic
figures the name of Iago. In the same doc
ument, which, by the descendants of Iago,
has come into the hands of the last de-
scendants of Othello, l find the phrase, IL

not to tarnish Desdemona. You will con-
tinue to see them at considerable eleva-
tion. The telescope of the genius of
Shakespeare lodged them in the armament

Low Priced Amusements

The so-called cheap" amusement enter
prises that have grown In number recently
the stock companies and operate COM
panies that are flourishing in all the larger
cities, including New York-have provoked
many expressions from managers and 9TH
ers. Some of these expressions have dep
recated cheap amusements," others have
assumed to be discouragingly prophetic,
and still others have simply entertained
those that have read them.
The low-priced amusements of the hour
are need of the hour. AS u rule these
amusemcnts are not cheap in the generally
accepted definition Of that term They are
given by good companies of actors and
singers who use plays and operas that have
been seen under no better auspices and in
no better forms at much higher prices.
Everybody familiar with the conditions of
the theater today understands why this
new system is at the moment necessary.
