.HOSKIN'S FIGHT
PROVED FATAL
Died Without Regaining
Consciousness.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

GRASS VALLEY, Sept. 2S.-Despite the
fact that everything in the range of
possibility was done to save the life of
Charles Hoskin, who received a fatal
blow in the contest last night with James
Pendergast, he died at Z o'clock this
morning. From the very moment the
fatal blow Wasastruck he never regained
consciousness. He had said to his wife
that this was to be his last fight, little
thinking of the untimely end that was to
be his lot.
The shocking tragedy has had a de-
pressing effect on the whole community,
and was the sole topic of conversation to-
day. No one suffered greater anguish
outside the immediate relatives than
Pendergast, whose fatal blow is
responsible for sending his victim to
eternity.
A post-mortem examination held late
this afternoon developed the fact that
blood clots two inches in diameter had
formed on each side of the head. Bruises
were also found on each side of the
temple one below the eye and one on the
back of the head. The injuries were
caused by Hoskins head striking the
floor, which was not properly padded.
Hoskin was 3S years Of age and
native of this city. Pendergast has been
released on his own recognizance. Public
sentiment is so wrought up that the City
Trustees will meet Monday night and
pass an ordinance fixing the license at
$1,000 for future boxing contests, which
will have the effect of Suppressing them.

TERMS OF. NoTARIES.

A few days ago Governor Gage caused
considerable stir by revoking the commits
sions of a number of notaries public and
many more felt that they would be
obliged to walk the same plank. In or
der to learn as to the power of the Gov
ernor to make such removals from Of
flee several inquiries We're made of At
torney General Tirey L. Ford as to the
law on the matter Mr.. Ford and Deputy
Abbott searched the statutes and found
that prior TO 1898 notaries public were ap-
pointed for four years. The Legislature
of 1898 amended the statutes and omitted
to fix the term for this class of officials.
In 1899 the lawmakers again amended the
same restoring the four-year term. The
Attorney General sums up his conclusions
as follows:
Section 1893 of the Political Code would be
made to read The term Of office of a Notary
Public is four years from and after the date
of his commission. l therefore of the
opinion that the Office of a Notary Public. ap-
pointed after the act of 1898 went into effect
and before the act of 1899 took effect, is held
at the pleasure of the appointing power, name
ly the Governor, and that section 1913 of the
Political Code does not apply to notares pub
lie so appointed but to those only who were
appointed after the act of 1899 took effect

DR.. G. w. Leek, A. Ohrneyer

Dragging Greyhounds.

AS a result of a rigid investigation made
by the management of Union Coursing
Park DR.. q. w. Leek, A. Ohmeyer and j.
Tyler have been ruled from the park for
life Dr. Leek is accused of preparing and
selling drugs for the doping of grey
hounds, while the others are charged with
administering the drugs to dogs in their
charge.
The findings in the case Of Dr. Leek
read: He is adjudged guilty of conduct
detrimental to the best interests of cours-
ing and is forever denied the privilege OF

in any other persons name. He will be

Boxes of cocaine capsules bearing the

were placed on sale in a book store, 1t
being deemed best apparently not to put
them in the hands of druggists. The evi-
dence of the detectives connected DR..
Leek directly with the traffic in the speed
producers. Each box contained six cap
sules numbered Consecuuvely. The heav-
lest dose was to be administered before
the first course and the others of dimin-
ishing strength each subsequent time the
dog went out to run. There was also pro-
duced an envelope marked "Leek's Union

The horse I Don't Know, hero of half
hundred turf scandals, is racing here once
more: The bay son of Willard first made
the acquaintance of local turf patrons at
the old Bay District track some five
years ago. At his first essay he was not
meant, for his rider, an elongated hush
jockey named Garrison, never gave the
sprnter his head. Next time out he won
a block and horse, owner and Jockey
Garrison were ruled off the turf. which
edict sent the late lamented 'King" Nc
Mauus on the warpath. After d time
Don't Know was reinstated and next
bobbed up at Ingleside track. Again he
figured in shady looking race, causing
Jockey Morse to be ruled off. Some
months later the same horse was the

FIGHTS THAT

Four Bouts at the San Fran

time Fistic Battles.

There wasn't much ''how-do-y -you-do''
and "glad-to-see-you' about the four
fights last night at the San Francisco
Athletic Club. 1t was all hammer and
tongs from the clang of the gong, and the
crowd that packed the benches was duly
pleased.
The event of the evening was an eight
round go between Eddie Toy and Charles
Vickers 1876 pounds. Both men lasted the
limit and after a whirlwind affair of
punches and a bit of rOugh-and- tumble
Alec Greggains. who refereed all the
fights. gave the contest to Toy. Not a
moment was wasted in the eight rounds,
both pugilists working fists, arms and legs
as if their salvation depended upon an
excess of pugilistic effort. The decision.
which was a just one. was not well re-
ceived by the house, and storm of Kisses
followed it.
The announced fight between Gassman
and Johnson was declared off on account
of the nOn-appearance of both contest
ants. In their place Arthur Granfield and
Kid Mein mixed themselves up for six
rounds, The contest was to be an eight
round affair, but Mein thought he had

he "kicked'' to the referee about the
