Pot Hunters Arrested and
fined for Killing Deer
out Oc Season.

nneu for Killing Deer
out OF Season.
Deputy Game Warden Joseph
Elliott, had warrants issued
Wednesday for the arrest of the
Tillden Brothers, who have a
homestead near this village, on
Catfish Lake, for slaughtering
and killing deer by the wholesale
out of season. Eleven green
hides were found IN their posses
sion when arrested. They were
brought into town and had a
hearing before Judge Riordan,
and plead not guilty to thecharge
and asked for an adjournment
until Thursday afternoon at 2
o'clock, so they might seek legal
advice, which was granted, they
being put under bail Of $4,000.
AS this was an unparallel case
the court was crowded to see
what the outcome would be-
The defendants were represented
by Attorney G. F. Sanborn, and
the state by District Attorney c.
F. Colman and his law partner
N. A. Colman. The defendants
thought their chances of acquital
would be better IN the hands of
six jurors which were subpoened.
After hearing all the evidence the
court adjourned until 8 o'clock,
when Attorney Sanborn on be
half Of the defendants made a
statement that they wished to
withdraw their first plea not
guilty, and plead guilty to the
charge which they both did, thus
taking the case out of the hands
of the jury and leaving it with
court to impose the fine. The
defendants attorney put in a plea
as it was their first ofense and
that they were poor men, he ask
ed the Judge to be lenie,,t with
them and not give them the full
extent Of the law, while on the
other hand District Attorney be
lieved in giving them the full ex-
tent Of the law, as they willfully
slaughtered the deer regardless
Of the law and that they ought
to get the full benefit, as the law
was made to protect the deer
from pot hunters. The Judge
gave the prisoners to understand
that if they received their just de-
serts that he ought to fine and
inprison, both, as they openly
defled the law. The fine and
costs amounted to $135.
which they paid.
If the law is not enforced there
is no use enacting them and if it
was not for just such fellows as
these that shoot deer the year
around it would not be necessary
to be SO stringent. This section
Of the state is very fortunate in
having such a man as. Mr. Elliott
III charge Of enforcing the game
laws. If he continues in Office,
the pot hunters will be forced TO
abandon their vocation.

store corroborated the statement that
the doctor had been suffering some time
from asthma.
DR.. Schlarbaum graduated from the Cal
ifornia Medical College in this city on
December II, 1888. He practiCed medicine
for some years and had an office III the
Nevada block. Recently he abandoned
his profession on account of his health and
took up mining. A few days ago he re-
turned from San Jose, having been to the
interior portions of the State, on prospect
ing trips. The presence of the poisons in
the room can be accounted for by the fact
that both are used in certain milling pro-
cesses.
The. doctor became a member of Live
Oak Lodge No. 81, F. and A. NJ, in 1887.

DR.. John Christian Benedictine Schlar-
baum, a physician prominent in lodge
circles of this city and Oakland, was
found dead in a lodging house at 119 Third
street yesterday afternoon. There is some
doubt as to the cause of his death. and
the Coroner has ordered an investigation.
The presence of deadly poisons in the
room would indicate suicide, but the fact
that the man had been suffering from
asthma for many years strengthens the
belief that he succumbed to the disease.
On Sunday evening DIR. Schlarbaum
registered under a fictitious name at the
hotel and asked for room in the upper
portion of the building He said that he
had been suffering from asthma and was
in a very bad condition He went to bed.
but did not appear next day, and at 3
o'clock his room was entered by the clerk,
who found him sitting in a chair, dead.
From all appearances he had been vomit-

TossEs AWAY THE DECISION.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Matty Matthews
of Brooklyn defeated Otto Zeiloff of Chi
cago in the ninth round of a vicious fight
at the Coney Island Sporting Club to-
night Matthews was by far the cleverer
and used both hands relentlessly on his
opponents anatomy. In the ninth Zeiloff
staggered helplessy and Matthews
dropped his hands as he said to George
Edwards, the referee:
II don't want to hit him any more"
Edwards took the hint and stopped the
bout right there by ordering the men to
their corners and declaring Matthews the
winner.
Frank Patterson Of Brooklyn and Solly
Smith of Los Angeles fought a twenty
five round draw at 122 pounds. The men
fought savagely. but were strong at the
finish Patterson was frequently eau
toned for hitting low and was disquali-
fed in the twenty-thfrd round for repeat
ing the offense. Smith begged the referee
to let the bout go on and so lost favor

MOTOR-PACE
FEVER ATTACKS
BICYCLE MEN
Many Want to Follow
Machines.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Cycle racing
men have been attacked by the motor
pace fever. Just at present it's
ravages are confined to. professional
riders, but later it promises to grip Cy-
Gle race patrons in even more virulent
form. It's sudden outbreak is coincident
with the sudden coming of Miller and
Linton with their Partisan naphtha
tandems. and of August Cabaillat, the
most expert steersman of motor cycles
in France.
With a suddenness that proves the
force of the fever a score of American
professional riders, who have made rep
utations in other distances, have an
nounced their candidacy for the mid
dle-distance paced honOrs. AS many
more riders of scarcely less repute have
as promptly offered their services on
the motor machines that have already
been negotiated for the promoters
caught with the infection have hurri-
edly altered their programmes of the
immediate future, and one concern, the
Atlantic Athletic Association, an
nounced to-day that a big motor record
race will contribute to the feature at
each of it's meets at Manhattan Beach
during the remainder of the season.
A factor in the races will be Linton
and his crack French tandemS. His ma
chimes differ from those of American
make, and Linton claims that they are
faster. His crew has had experience
in navigating motor cycles, whereas the
American crews will enter the lists
comparatively raw. Cabaillat, the
steersman, is referred to as The Devil
on Wheels on the tracks of his own
country. He will take his machine
through to port in a crowd that scarce
ly another rider would attempt He
holds a certificate from the French
authorities attesting his capability to
drive racing cars of fifteen-horse power
over the roads of that republic.
With Cabaillat rides Dudley Marks,
whose knowledge of mechanics makes
him a safe engineer. Marks, occupying
a rear seat, is able to coach Linton be-
hind him. Cabaillat and Marks assert
that they can drive tandems at the
rate of thirty-six miles an hour. If
Linton is able to follow them at that
rate he will beat the worlds record for
distance, held by Elkes, by nearly two
miles.
Lfnton's tandems differ slightly from
the motor machine brought over from
France by Henri Fournier The cogs
in that Of the latter are replaced by
chains in Linton's machines. Like
Fournier's tandem, LintonS motor cy-
cles have two horsepower capacity.
Miller's tandem is exactly the same
as those owned by the Welshman. Both
Miller and Linton were greatly exer-
cised because they were forced to pay
a duty of 45 per cent on their motors
when they landed in New York. They
had expected to bring them in on the
same ground as theatrical effects

Los ANGELES
WELCOMES THE
NEW CHAMP ION
Jeffries in His Old
Home.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES. July 10.-It has been
q long time since Los Angeles sports
have had an opportunity to welcome
champion, and to say that they did not
do it to the highest degree of perfection
to-day would be a misstatement OF
facts. James ]. Jeffries, the champion
heavyweight of the world, is again in
the city that for eighteen years he has
called home The champion arrived
at o'clock, forty minutes later than
was expected Thousands assisted in
the welcome, and the big, bashful
champion bowed right and left as he
was whirled through the crowded thor
oughfares from the Arcade depot to the
Hollenbeck Hotel.
AS the champion stepped from the
rear of the train President John Brink
of the Los Angeles Athletic Club and
Tom Darmody entwined his neck with
a huge wreath of flowers, composed Of
the national coIors. The blue flowers
were bachelor buttons, and the red
and white flowers were roses and car
nations. The train that bore the young
boilermaker was filled with teachers,
and the presence of thousands OF per-
sons that surged around the depot
caused a murmur OF comment, put
when the instructors heard the cheers
for Jeffries a college yell and a Vassar
call were mingled with the huzza of the
sports of the older school. Jeffrles was
received as a hero. He was escorted up
town in buggy that was preceded by
the Seventh Regiment band and foI-
lowed by a dozen tally-hos. AS soon as
he could escape from the crowd, short

SHAMROCK WINS
One Pound a Week
for Life.
Special Cable to The Call and the ;Sew York
Herald. Copyrighted, 1893. by James Cor
don Bennett:

don Bennett.
SOUTHAMPTON. July 10.-Rumor
has it that Sir Thomas Upton has
promised each of the crew one pound a
week for life if the Shamrock wins.
The sailmakers have to-day been busy
on board the Shamrock making many
trifing alterations to the canvas which
Saturdays spin showed to be neces-
sary.
People are talking and writing a
great deal about the coming trial of
the Shamrock with the Britannia. Now,
let me tell you on the best authority
that Mr.. Fife is not going to allow
these trials to give any indication of
what the Shamrock Is capable of doing.
People will know as little after these
so-called trials as before. Independently
of the care that Mr.. Fife will take to-
ward this end there is the fact that the
Shamrock, as she is now, is a different
boat from what she will be when she
sails at New York. Now her inside is
stiffened with steel girders. These will
not be removed until she gets ready
for her races in New York. This change
will entirely alter her conditions of sta
biIity.
The cleverest yachtsmen here-those
closely connected with the Shamrock
express themselves with the utmost
skepticism regarding the trials between
the Columbia and Defender holding
that such trials cannot possibly have
been held with the object of making
any real race between the boats. If 1t
were so, they maintain, it is lack of pol
icy. but they conclude that the trials
have been for negative purposes, such
as those that will be made here in
few days; in fact, rather as "a blind,
Anyhow, the next time the Shamrock
goes out We shall at least have the
pleasure of making the acquaintance of
her backyard, tOpsail, flying jib, bal
loon foresail and spinnaker, which up
to the present have remained on the
hulk of a schooner lying alongside of
the Sh mrock, upon which her crew
lives. With these set We shall be able
to Judge little better whether she Is
as stiff as she appeared on Saturday.
The schooner upon which the crew
lives lies on the port side of the Sham
rock. No one sleeps on board the
yacht, although there is a constant
watch throughout the night. There is
no accommodation aboard the racer.
Here. as we'll as in New York. the
hands will live away from the cutter.
Here they are dwelling very comfort
ably on an old hulk. In New York they
will be on a sort or mouse Doat. Wnere
they will live without shore liberty un
iii the races are over. This all the men
understood, and although they have
not signed their indentures yet, they will
do so, including the conditions named.

siasm.
A natter crew it would be difficult to
find. All are bright, alert young fell

nimble as cats. picked so that they

WHITMAN BEATS LARNED.

deep balls to hold Larned back from the
net, and, when his opponent rushed to
the barrier, showed his ability to pass
him. Whitman constantly changed from

almost always knocked them into the net.
