MORE TROUBLE FOR
OWNER OF G0lDBUG

OAKLAND, Dec. 12-Goldbug. the race
horse which mysteriously disappeared
from his stall at Emeryville last Sun
day night, is proving a hoodoo for its
owner, Jacob Krause. The horse was
under attachment for $3.50 on promis-
sorry note held by Adolph Stremmel, and
Constable Jack Williamson, who mad
charge of the animal in his official ca
pacity, was elated and surprised 10 learn
that Sheriff Rogers last night recovered
the stolen animal and had lodged Krause
in the County Jail on a charge of grand
larceny, he being deemed the thief of his
own property. Krause was to-day taken
before Recorder Bradford at Emeryville
and the grand larceny charge was
promptly dismissed, but new and more
serious trouble was in store for Krause,
for meanwhile Constable Williamson Rad
sworn out a warrant in Judge Quinns
court for Krause's arrest on a charge of
burglary, and the constable Immediately
rearrested Goldbug's owner and once
more placed him behind the gray walls
and iron bars OF the County Jail. Jus
tice Quinn has fixed Krause's bail at
$1,000 cash or $1,000 bonds.

THE PORTION
OF BOXERS
| hree Bouts End Suddenly at
San Francisco Athletic
Club.

The gymnasium OF the San Francisco
Athletic Club was filled TO the bursting
point last night, the occasion being the
regular boxing exhibition of the club. OF
the four bouts two lasted but two rounds
each; one went short distance into the
third round, and the other went the limit
OF eight rounds.
Bud Terry and Jules Tillman. a brace
OF feather-weights, were the first in the
ring. The first round was given over TO
renting tactics. and there was little TO
choose between the style of the two
youngsters. Terry showed TO advantage
for few moments, when Tfllman rushed
him TO the ropes, landing right and left.
This dazed his opponent and another
blow put him out of the competition.
Toby Irvine and Jerry Collins were the
next to appear. Before the second round
was over Collins was too dazed to con-
unue ana was counted out Irvine had a
quick left jolt, which Collins could not
avoid. Collins was knocked down once
and was only well on his feet when he
was sent down again 10 remain the fatal
ten seconds.
The bout between Charles Rochette and
Charles Fredericks went the limit. the de-
cision going to Rochette After the first
three rounds Fredericks could have posed
Tor statue or the tired boxer. Rochette s
sharp, stingiEg blows cut both his eyes,
while blood trickled from a number of
small wounds. Notwithstanding his loss
or blood ne was game to the end and took
an Unnecessary amount OF punishment
He was knocked down repeatedly, but
came up on the aggressive. Rochette was
never in danger after the first round
which was in Fredericks favor.
The bout between Henry Lewis and J.
j. Gippert lasted but a short time into the
third round. when Gippert went down on
his face with crash and was counted
out. He was larger than Lewis and was
strong, but slow and awkward. He could
not get away from Lewis left swing. In
the second round he lost his head and
Lewis landed at will. The bell saved him.
but he went only a short distance into the
third round when the end came.
