rest Of ltsIi an Wanted at Oakland.

Bangor, Me-. Nov. 20-(SpeciaD.-

Of having stolen about $500 from Thomas

ance at the February term of court.
Neither one was able to furnish bail and
the trio is now part of SnerlH Brown $
family at the stone villa on Hammond

Inc hearing brought out the fact that
the old man Barker was just as much
implicat ted in the larceny of the money
Clark met the Barker girl up, town
Wednesday afternoon, and she asked him
to go down to the house and stay all
night He agreed and somehow she FOUND
and she revealed this fact to Barker and
Vague when he arrived at the house
Barker introduced Vague to Clark as a
sea captain whose vessel was lying at
Sterns' mill, only a few rods from the
house. Thus the robbery was all arranged
before the introduction.
The police made another important ar
rest here, this afternoon, when they took

Corbett and Sharkey Ready
for tuesday Nights Fight.
Odds Are 10 to 8 on Corbett and He
Is General Fayorite.
$4,000 Purse Deposited Sale Of Seats Al.
ready Over $4,000.

New York, Nov. 20-That the 90
round bout between James ]. Corbett
and Thomas Sharkey will be brought
to decision before the Lenox Athletic
Club, next Tuesday night, without any
police or other interference, is now al
most a certainty. With the big contest
only As hours hence everything seems
to be running smoothly for as yet not
one word of protest lay or clerical, has
been uttered in reference to the meet
ing of the big pugilists within the lin
its of the city proper. The legal au-
thorities seem to be satisfied that the
details of the Horton law giverning
pugilistic exhibitions in this state will
be lived up to by the principals.
Since the men affixed their signatures
to the articles of agreement they have
carefully refrained from saying harsh
things to each other and the absence
of this is in itself the best guarantee
that both men mean business and are
anxious to fairly and squarely test
their qualities as fighters. Sporting
men and followers of pugiHsm from all
over the United States are hourly ar
irving in the Metropolis and the up
town sporting resorts presented live
y appearance, tonight Conbett is the
favorite in the betting at 100 to so and
the general impression is that the rules
governing the bout, which call for a
clean break favor him.
The sailor pugilist is strong on in
lighting but has yet to show any degree
of cleverness at long range work, while
the very opposite can be said of Cor
bett. Another thing which good judges
refer to is Sharkeys lack of control
over his temper when receiving punish
ment. During his long weeks of hard
training under the supervision of Tom
OItourke, the sailor has learned to
govern himself in this respect, it is
claimed, and great things are expected
Of him by his friends and hackers.
No man could have trained more
carefully than Sharkey has and the
same can be said of Corbett to whom
victory means SO much. Charley
White, who has charge of the ex-cham-
pion's training, is more than satisfied
with Cor5ett's work and present condi-
ton. He says his man was never in
better shape than now. and barring
accident, should certainly win.
Corbett, White says, will enter the
ring weighing about 1S2 pounds
O'Rourke said, tonight that Sharkey's
weight would be 176 pounds. Reports
from both sides, tonight, We're to the
effect that each man is in the best pos
sible condition physically and equally
confident of winning.
The advance sale of esats has been
unusually high, amounting to nearly
$4,000. The purse of $4,000, it is an
nounced. has been paid over to the

site, any size from a single lot to whole
block; situation as fine for large resi-
dence as can be found in Los Angeles;
only half as far out as Westlake park
and twice as desirable in a dozen ways.
The property is bounded on the north and
south by Third ard Arnold sts., and on
the east and west by BiXel st. and Lucas
ave. B.xel st. runs north from Seventh
to Third Eising gradually all the way I'LL
this beautiful elevated plateau Is reached.
1t is a broad, well-improved street and
favorite with people who drive. Lucas
avenue runs parallel with Bixel and Is
the first street west of 1t. The big Shatto
residence Is on Lucas. 1t Is full mile
nearer the city than Westlake park, and
the cars bring one from the corner OF Lu-
cas- ave. and Second st. to Spring st. In
just minutes. The lots are practically
level and just high enough above the
streets to admit of the most artistic fin
tshing up. The outlook from them Is as
fine as 1t is possible to imagine. ana
good residence would show up from them
to very great advantage. 1t could be seen
for miles and would be landmark From
1t, the view in any direction would be In
describably pleasing. The eye would take
in the entire mountain range from San
Bernardino and San Antonio clear around
to the ocean, the ocean Itself and all the
charming panorama OF city and valley
that lies between. One can get here any
size lot, from 5Ox125 to 250 feet square, or
larger if desired. And he can get 1t at
its present-not a speculative-value.
This property, and all the property IN the
neighborhood, will undoubtedly be held
higher the moment real estate begins to
move, and there are good reasons why
the advan nee here will be greater than
elsewhere. In the first place, 1t is about
the only really beautiful hill district that
Is not ruined or threatened with ruin by
the oil. The line of derricks Is far to the
north of this property, and never can
come any closer, because south of that
line there is no oil. That fact has been
abundantly demonstrated by repeated and
costly experiments. Secondly the Third
street tunnel. when completed, will make
of Third st. as important an east and west
thoroughfare as Seventh now Is. A car
line through the tunnel and past this
property Is assured, and will probably be
In operation within very few months. II
property on Seventh ST., between Bixel
st. and Lucas ave-, is now worth $50 a
front foot, this will be worth more, be-
cause of its better location and greater
nsarness to the business center Of the
city. The situation Is finer 1t Is ION the
hills" but not hilly. It has all the advan-
tages Of elevation and outlook, and none
of the disadvantages One does not have
to climb any steep hills to get to 1t, nor
find succession of hills and hollows
