Both Complain of the Decision of
Referee Green.

San Francisco, March 12-Sharkey
comes in for a great deal of adverse
criticism for his conduct in the fight
last night, and even many of his
staunchest hackers brand him as one
of the foulest fighters that ever stepped
into ring. Sharkey has improved
wonderfully in his boxing since he met
Fitzsimmons in this city in 1896, but
he loses all his acquired science as
soon as he is given any severe punish
ment, such as Choynsk gave him at
times in last nights fight. He becomes
like an enraSed animal, and loses all
control of himself.
Sharkey is indignant at the treat
ment accorded him, and expresses him
self as disguised, and says he will
never fight in California again. He
fatty denies any foul tactics, and says
he was robbed of the decision. In an
interview he said:
Il was robbed of the purse and of
the honor that would go with the vic
tory had the decision of the referee
been just one. ] could not have won
unless 1 knocked him completely out.
He hit me in the clinches and no one
took any notice of it, but they watched
every blow I struck. Choynski was
counted out by the timekeepers before
Green called it a draw. / will never
fight in California again, as see now
that L cannot get a square chance
here. L think the result of the fight
showed that l was right in holding
out for a referee who was above sus-
picion. 1 have always tried my best
TO please the public, but / seem to
have a hard road to travel
Il am willing to meet either Maher
or Mccoy for a purse of $4,000 in some
eastern city, where I am assured of
fair treatment
Choynski showed few signs of pun
ishment when seen this morning, but
felt blue over the result of his en-
counter with the burly sailor. He ex-
pressed himself in very forcible terms
regarding the decision. and criticised
Green severely for calling the mill a
draw. He claims that Sharkey's blows
did not hurt him, but that the sailor
football tactics and wrestling weakened
him terribly, but that even in his

FRIGHTENED THE BUTCHER.
Why a Butte Man Feared to Testify
Against Labor Unions.

Butte, Mont, March 12-During the
investigation of the Chinese boycott in
junction case before United States Elk
aminer Blake, Owen Williams, an aged
butcher, testified against the labor
unions and told about a warning he
had received from some representa-
tives of unions. Three of them, he
said, called at his room d few nights
ago and demanded a private audience
with him, which he refused to grant,
and, being afraid of them, would not
open the door. They then told him
that if he testified in the boycott cases
he would do so at the peril of his life.
Williams was so afraid of his life that
he refused to appear before the ex-
aminer until Judge Knowles of the
United States court had threatened to
punish him for contempt. After he
had given his testimony regarding
some of the methods adopted by the
boycotters against the Chinese, the old
man exclaimed:
L expect to be killed, and if I am
murdered for giving my evidence,
Judge Knowles viii be to blame for it,
The proceedings against the labor
unions boycott is being carried on BY
the representative of the Chinese gov
eminent.

did some very good work, getting

Round 5rHonors were easy, the kid

contented himself with taking all the
youth could send him. The Bingham

end of the round, attempting to lead
Jacobs on to get in a knockout, but
Jacobs was too wary for him.
Round 6-Smith went down often

Clinches were frequent. In one of
these the referee went in between the
men and Jacobs struck Smith while he
