OTIS DEFEATED
 BY M'MAH0M SPIRITED CONTEST AT THE MFR CHANTS ATHLETIC CLUB. Meyer Knocks Out Hayes in the Fourth Round of an Extremely
 Lively Bout.

The Merchants Athletic Association showed some first rate sport at its rooms, corner of Washington and Davis streets, last night.
 The entertainment opened with three round friendly bouts between Dahl and Cornell of the California Swimming and Athletic Club Manning and Lemon of the Olympic Club, Mehner of San Francisco and Bickers of Los Angeles, the latter being particularly. lively.
 This was followed by a six-round con- test with decision between Meyer of the California Swimming and Athletic Club and Hayes of the Jefferson Club. Almost from the beginning Meyer had the best of 1t, as Hayes wind gave out after the first round At the beginning of the fourth round Hayes came up very weak, bleeding from the nose and gasping for breath. In the middle of the round his seconds threw the towel into the ring, and the decision was given to Meyer.
 The event of the evening was an eight round contest with decision between Mo Mahon of the Merchants Club and Otis of the EXcelsiors. Otis had slight ad- vantage, being ten pounds heavier than his opponent The two men seemed first three rounds exchanged almost blow for blow, Otts seeming to have whatever advantage there was, as McManon' s wind was GOT. In the fourth round Nc Mahon began playing almost wholly or the defensive, and got in some heavy body blows on Otis. He is the more agile of the two and cleverly kept away from sive work told on Otis. and his move ments finally became so slow that Nc. Mahon could dart in, deliver blow, and duck awa,r before it could pe returned At the end of the eighth round the deci. sion was given to McMahon. much to the delight of his fellow clubnen, who car ried him triumphantly from the ring or their shoulders Raev of the Olvn pif Club acted as referee.

A TOUCHING SCENE IN
 A BRIGADE HOSPITAL
GRIEF AND REMoRsE CAUSE A
 VOLUNTEERS DEATH.
Did Not Wish His Body Sent Back to Utah and Cared for No Head stone to Mark His
 Grave.

A few days ago a soldier lay dying in the brigade hospital at Camp Merritt. He knew that death was near at hand and was happy in the thought of 1t. His story is a sad one.
 Back in little town in Utah w. H. Holcomb married, and the girl he won was all the world to him. Happy in his love and prosperous in his business he became a well-to-do and quite prominent citizen.
 One day there suddenly appeared upon the horizon of his life a dark cloud. He had learned that well-known man of unsayory reputation as to his behavior toward the fair sex was paying undue attention to his wife in clandeStine manner This information was as start ling to him as a thunderbolt from clear sky. Not for one moment could he be- lieve that his wife was at fault. In the shock he did not stop to investigate the affair as he would probably have done had he calmed down and coolly consid- cred the situation, but seizing a revolver he sought the intruder of his domestic domain and killed him.
 The murderer was acquitted, but his acquittal did not restore his peace of mind, and his cup of bitterness was soon full to overfiowing as the loved wife whom he had forgiven for any faults that she might have indiscreetly committed sickeneG and died.
 GrleI-StTlcken at the JOSS or her WNOu he had so fondly loved, and his mind burdened with remorse at having stained his hands with human blood, he was or the verge of suicide, when the breaMng out of the war opened up an avenue of meeting an honorable death on the field of battle in his country's cause. Going to Cheyenne he enlisted with the Wyom- ing Volunteers, and coming with them tc San Francisco, his mental troubles be- came so worrisome that the result was 3 fever of a typhoid character, which brought on tuberculosis.
 "Yes, Governor, l am going to die, and I am dying rapidly, as you can see" said the unfortunate volunteer to Governor Richards of Wyoming. who had called upon him, "and I rejoice that the end is so near. I care to live no longer. You know the reasons"
 Shall I send your body back to Utah?' inquired the Governor.
 "No; bury me here" sad the dying man, his voice growing weaker "I wan no one to know what has become of me l care not even for headstone to mari my grave"

 "No: I have no home. "Is there nothing I can do for your" Yes; take this picture and" "What?"
 The man did not answer. He was. dead The picture was that of his wife.

was the game. After this brief interval, however, steady playing characterized the work of both teams, save for an occa- sional wild throw. which in every instance proved costly. MT. Hammond's mistakes of this nature should not be too severely criticized, for he had an injured finger, which should have been reposing in some hospital. The one bright, particular star of the game was MT. Ice Cream Soda Murphy. This individual played a per fectly charming game at first; in fact, the best that has been witnessed in many moons. His great catch of a foul fly was will never be duplicated. His stopping or poorly thrown balls was also greatly , aa- mired Keep up the good work The score is as follows:
