MISER SEEKS A HOME
AT A COUNTY HOSPITAL
Search of His Clothing Reveals the
Existence of Bank Account
in His Name.

SAN ANDREAS, June 23.-Prosper
Blanchard. an old resident of Brandy
Flat. was admitted TO the county hospital
on April of this year. Blanchard is y
years of age and when admitted was a
dirty. sha billy dressed creature. SUPER
intendent Burgess, having heard rumors
to the effect that this pauper had consid-
erable money in the bank concluded it
was his duty to investigate.
Yesterday morning Burgess instructed
the nurse to give Blanchard a bath and
report to him when the man was in the
water. The instructions were carried out,
and the superintendent entered the room,
ostensibly 10 see if the patient needed
anything in the way Of clothing. Burgess
says that after looking the mans clothes
over he concluded that if the old chap
needed anything he could buy it himself.
The clothes contained $50 % in cash anG a
statement rendered Oy the French Saw
ings and Loan Society, showing a bal
ance due Blanchard on May 3 1899, of
1916 43.
In compliance with the rules and regu-
lations of the county hospital Burgess
kept $50 for the county, giving the miser
the remaining % cents in coin The rules
do not allow the superintendent to con-
fiscate all the money a patient may have
on his person. He has a copy of the bank
statement filed away for any future use.
Blanchard was discharged Immediately
and is probably preaching poverty among
his neighbors.

NEW YORK, June 23.-Joseph Wal
colt, the colored welter- weight boxer,
was given the decision over Dan Cree
don, the Australian middle weight. at
the end of a hard-fought tWenty-round
bout before the New Broadway Ath-
letic Club tonight. Johnny" White
was the referee.
In the opening round Creedon led a
straight left. landing on the head, and
sent his left back to the body Walcott
hooked his left TO the chin. A right from
Walcott put Dams eye in mourning be-
fore the bell rang.
Walcott opened the second with a left
hook TO the eye, Dan shooting his right
to the body, following with a short left
to the face. Walcott sent a left hook to
the jaw and a right to the body, keep
ing Dan moving around the ring.
Walcott came out strong in the third
and drove his left straight to the
mouth but was blocked cleverly when
he tried his right for the body. Wal
colt kept pummeling his opponent rap
/ idly, receiving occasional counters
which did not seem to have any effect
upon him.
In the sixth round a left smash from
/ Walcott sent the blood squirting from
| Creedons right eye, and after Dan re-
celved a right and left on the body he
looked very tired. He came up il the
next round looking strong, having evil
dentIy fully recuperated. Walcott sert
a succession OF left jabs to Dan face,
much TO Creedons discontinue, AMI
from this round to the finish WalcOtt
had it all his own way.
Dan made a wonderful rally in the
fifteenth, sending his right over three
times to the negros head. In the sew
enteenth WalcCtt slipped to his knee
in a rush. Walcott was on his feet in
a second, however and both men
laughed.
The nineteenth round found Walcott
forcing Dan all over the ring with
lefts to the body and rights to the
head. Dan fought back desperately,
but his blows lacked steam. When
they shook hands for the Wind-up Wal
cott rushed and tried hard to land a
decisive blow, but Creedon managed to
evade him cleverly. When the gong
ended the bout the negro turned and
shook hands with Creedon and Lavigne.
Referee White gave the decision to
WalcOtt.

DOC" PAYNE KNOCKS
OUT PATSY C0RRIGAN
San Franciscan Beaten in Mill Re
markable Only for Foul
Fighting.

DENVER. June 2S.-At the Denver
Wheel Club tonight Doc" Payne, who
halls from Cleveland. Ohio. and is the
sparring partner of kid" Mccoy, put out
Patsy Corrigan of San Francisco in the
sixth round of what was scheduled to
have been q twenty-round fight. 1t was
n slugging match throughout and was de-
void of anything approaching science.
Corrigan adopted rushing tactics from the
start and in the collisions between the
men frequently both fell to the floor. In
the fourth round Payne threw Corrigan
through the ropes.
Payne was somewhat unruly when eau
toned by the referee against striking his
opponent low and hitting in the clinches,
which he did frequently, and during the
second round would have struck Corri-
gan while the latter lay PROSTATE on the
mat had not the referee wrestled with
him and pulled him away. In the third
round Payne fought the referee. who
tried in vain to separate the fighters.
Jack" Grace acted as referee. Kid
Mccoy sat back of Payne and coached
him between the rounds.

McFadden made it interesting for him,
nevertheless, and in the opinion of the
spectators had decidedly the better of the

and rapid and prepared the crowd for the
diSappOintment they were to receive from

POOR 10 ENGAGES
IN A WAR OF CREEDS
Efforts of Evangelists of Several
Denominations Have Sur
DriSinG Result

VANCOUVER, June 23.-News of a
battle resulting from a clash of creeds
among the Indians at Port EssingtOn
was received here tonight by the
steamer Princess Louise. That vessel
passed Essington on Saturday night,
and just at that time the fight took
place. a half dozen Indians were in
jured. though not very seriously.
Over 1000 Indians have lately been
encamped near Port Essington. They
were salmon fishing at the opening of
the season, but went on a strike. The
Salvation Army thought them tlt sub
jects for revival services and started
in. with some gospel meetings on the
hill back of the village. Then a Metho-
dist minister, realizing what chances
were being lost, started a camp meet
ing and with the aid of the Episcopal
ian clergyman, who took the opposite
hill, they made quite mountain Of
song.
Last Saturday the fever of religious
fervor was burning at its highest, and.
as the steamer hove into sight, the In
dians all decided to show to their white
friends the results of their awakening.
They started fer the wharf by trails
that converged at one point.
The Indians met above the wharf,
where the trail was so narrow as hardly
to let one party pass at a time a mix
up followed, and although no worse
weapons than fists and clubs were used
some of the reds were badly cut up.
Blood flowed freely and the injured In
dians came down to the steamer for
medicine. The fighters were finally
separated by the missionaries, who
were the most surprised of all at what
had occurred.

Billy Otis added another victory to his
credit through the kind offices Of Al Neill
referee of the bout between Otis and
Charley Tye of Oakland. The victory
however. was not as cleancut as in his
former contests. Tye proving game and
willing fighter Both lads went the limit
and during their ten rounds of fighting
gave the spectators a flne exhibition of
pluck and science. Otis was cleYerer than
Tye, but what the latter lacked in that
line was made up in agSreSsiveress and
grit. To one seated a distance from the
ring, 1t looked as if Otis blows lacked
steam, but to close observer the young
lightweight administered stiff punches
which were assmilated by his seasoned
opponent.
The bout nearly ended in OTIS favor in
the latter part of the first round. He
administered some telling punches on
Tye, but the latter's gameness pulled him
through, and In the rounds that followed
the Oakland fighter gave blow for blow
and at times forced the battle. Had Otis
not been 50 clever in protecting his jaw

LONDON, June 23.-For the last two or
three days report has been going about
IN sporting circles to the effect that Tod
Sloan had decided TO give up racing on
this side for the remainder of the season.
The reason given was that it was due to
the row with a waiter at Ascot.
a Herald correspondent saw the Ameri-
can jockey to-day. He said there was no
truth whatever in the story, and that he
intended to carry out all his racing en-
gagements. He then gave his version of
the entire affair, which differs materially
from most of the stories printed.
After the last race at Ascot on Cup
day, while | was waiting for a friend 10
accompany me home, another friend and
l took a seat at d table on the lawn and
ordered u small bottle of champagne.
Il had not been feeling very we'll and
thought that the wine would do me good.
It was absolutely the first drink of wine
or spirits that | had taken in more than
week. The waiter who served the drink
after leaving the able went and spoke to
another waiter, man named Winter
born. who was serving the tables near
ours. This man made some remarks
about an American jockey, TO which we
paid no attention. 20 serve his tables he
back of our table. Instead of that the
next time he passed he crowded in front
of our table and bumped against US.
Il grabbed hold of him, but said moth
ing. He then in a few minutes returned
and again bumped into our table. This
time | told him to take care. He NUT
tered something and went off a third time.
''As ne approached again l said TO my
friend, This man intends to upset our
table Sure enough, as he got in front
OF US he suddenly turned around, placing
his back to US, and before we could catch
the table he had upset it and the contents
on our laps. l seized a bottle as It fell
and in the anger of the moment struck
the man back-handed. The bottle hit him
in the face, but the blow was not at all
severe: ard l was surprised to see blood
flow. The bottle was not broken.
"A friend of mine, who afterward saw
Winterborn. found him sitting up IN bed
and apparently very little the worse for
the blow, Notwithstanding all stories that
serious condition"
