EX-CHAMPION HAS COLD CHILL,

New YORK, Nov. 25.-The Herald
says: In the rage vented yesterday
by the devotees Of sport there were
few pleasant words, and those were all
for Honest John Kelly, who, voicing
the public belief that James J. Corbett
lost to Thomas Sharkey by pre-ar-
ranged foul. declared all bets Off
But Kelly could not give back
or order restored the S47,S7
that was paid into the pockets
of the men who managed the Lenox
Athletic club, Tuesday night, hence
the expressed regrets because of Nc
Vey's untimely interference. 1t is now
known that men in New York who had
been betting their money on Corbett
sent three kilograms westward. One
went to Sc>.ttlc, Wash; another was
sent to San Francisco, and the third to
Portland, Ore. Each telegram was to
a supporter Of Corbett and read: "Ar-
rangements changed Hedge your
money" Thousands and thousands Of
dollars were sent to western cities to
be placed on Sharkey
Corbett was seen at his home. He
did not look as if he had been in
battle with one of the heaviest men in
the pugilistic world, as there was not
a mark on him.
Really, l hardly know what to say
about this affair."" he remarked mo
one is SO depressed as am about the
action Of McVey, which lost me the
fight. l have been half daffy ever
since Kelly gave the decision against
me. Cold chills have been running up
and down my back at the thought that

such manner. Luck has been all
against me Of late, but it is bound to
change"
''But, Jim, many think you yourself
was one of those in the job and bet on
Sharkey," was remarked.

A HUNG JURY
No Verdict in the Case Against Albert
A. n0w

A. Dow
The jury in the trial of Albert A. Dow,
on q cherge Of grand larceny. which has
listened to testimony for the past three
days, failed to agree yesterday and was
discharged
Dow, 1t will be remembered was arrested
on June II. charged with having robbed
r. 8. Dorst Of San Diego. At the hearing
Of the trial one A. c. Haskell. q tough and
an all-around sure thing man, who con-
fessed he had taken part In the robbery,
was the principal witness.
In the arguments made by the defend
ants attorney he attacked the methods
used by the police department in trying to
make a case against Dow. Haskell and
Dow were arrested at the same time,
charged with the crime. The evidence
against both men was the same. but for
some reason Haskell was released ten days
after his arrest and Dow held for exam
nation.
Both Goodman and Haskell testified that
nothing had been offered the latter as an
inducement to give up the facts but
Goodman did not explain why he had re-
leased the states principal witness.
This fact evidently impressed the jury,
for at $3.50. two hours after being sent out.
the jury returned to the court and asked to
be instructed on a point Of law. The fore
man asked II man became acquainted
with a crime an hour after 1t was commit
ted and did not inform the authorities
was he or was he not an accomplish In the
crime The court held he was not. The
jury was sent back. but returned at Ais
without a verdict and was discharged.

that Haskell was seen boarding n San

the clearing. This party, when Nichols re-
monstrated with him for cutting down the
trees. replied in such a manner a. to make
Nichols angry and he rushed on and se-
cured the complaint.
While this point will be argued In the
appeal. 1t is state the defense will ask for
dismissal Of the charge on the ground
that there is no complaint, In that the COM
planning witness has never signed the com-
plant, as required by law.
Deputy District Attorney Willis, who
made the complaint at the request Of Mr..
Nichols, said he told the latter to take 1t
before the justice Of the peace and swear
that Its contents were correct. What
Nichols did with the complaint has not
been stated, but the document shows that
1t has never been acknowledged.
Attorneys do not agree as to the value of
the complaint. Deputy District Attorney
McConas says that the complaint IL worth
less and the prisoner will have to be dis
charged. Deputy District Attorney James
Is Of the opinion that the document, while
not perfect, Is sufficient to hold Lewis to
answer to the charge. Mr.. Willis agrees
with Mr.. McComas, but says that 1t will
be an Interesting point for the court to de-
eide

There is now in the county Jail prisoner
named Bud Lewis, who was sent In from
Monrovia by Justice c. F. Cooke to serve
a sentence Of 100 days for crime which he
IS supposed to have committed. Guilty or
not guilty. Lewis is in no danger OF being
compelled to serve his full sentence. but
will be, in all probability, released from
custody this week, due to the gross care
lessness and oversight of one or more OF
the oounty's officials
Early In the year Lewis rented small
ranch from one John B. Nichols Of Arcadia,
and by the terms Of the lease Lewis agreed
to clear the property Of all brush. and
wherever the shade trees were interfering
with the fruit trees he agreed to cut them
down If he could use them for flrewood
This seemed very satisfactory to all par
ties, so Lewis took possession Of the ranch,
which he was to keep for year.

to pay a fine Of $50. Lewis went to JAN. as

M'KAY GETS A NEW TRIAL
Appeal Taken From Justice Owens
Order Was Granted

Judge Owens received a good-sized turn
down at the hands Of Judge Smith yester-
day in the case against Daniel Mckay. the
tailor, who was convicted recently Of cru
city to animals in the police court. The
matter came before tho court In Depart
nent one on motion for a new trial, which
was granted.
Mckay was arrested on tho night Of
August II. by Omcers Auble and Phillips.
while he was driving In q two-wheeled cart
near Fifteenth and Hope streets. Mckay
had some lumber In the cart and was
stopped by tho ohicers. who told him he
was arrested for stealing lumber. He
claimed he was innocent, but the officers
told him that would not 30 down. Auble
got in the cart with him and the two drove
to the station. The next day he was in
formed that he was arrested for cruelty to
animals This charge was based on the
fact that the animal had sore on its body
near the upper part Of the back.
At the trial Humane Officer Clark
testified that the sore on the horse
was on the neck and that he was of the
opinion that the harness did not rub the
sore and did not make tho horse unfit for
work. Both the officers testified that the
sore was on the back and was just under
the heavy part Of the saddle. To settle this
point the prosecuting attorney asked the
court and the jury to go out In the rear Of
