BETTING AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Money Wagered on the Jeffries-
Sharkey Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2-While the
Jeffries- -Sharkey contest for the pugil-
istic championship of the world has ap-
parently caused little excitement IN
this city, the betting has been heavy.
Though in most cases the amounts
wagered have been comparatively
small, the aggregate is estimated to
have reached 100000.
The odds early to-day were 10 to
in favor of Jeffries, but late bets were
being placed at 10 to Z. Some local
sports. who otherwise would invest
heavily, anticipate police interference,
and for this reason are restrained from
placing their money.
The biggest bet of the day called for
$1,000 to $1,000. Jerry Driscoll took
Sharkey, while Henry Harris, the base
ball magnate, secured the ticket on
Jeffries
In the mutuals a total of 3,099 81
tickets have been sold up to the pres
ent time. Jeffries is most in demand on
every line, but is pressed closely by
the sailor.

IDAHO RIOT CASES.
The Trial of Miners for Interfering

sl
With the Mail Nearing the End.
MOSCOW Qdaho), Nov. I'm the
trial of the Coeur d'Alene miners for In
terfering with the mails. the prosecu-
ton closed it's case at noon yester-
day.
During the proceedings the defense
made a motion to strike out of the case
all the testimony by witnesses who had
testified before the Coroner's jury on
the death of Smith and Cheyne, who
were killed on April 29th, the day Of the
alleged obstruction of the mails. The
ground taken was that the defense had
been refused access to the records OF
this proceeding, and therefore the de-
PENDANTS were deprived of the oppor-
tunity to use evidence given prior to the
present testimony for purposes of inn
parchment; that if the records were on
hand they anticipated no trouble in
showing that some witnesses were false
or mistaken in the statements made in
the court
The defense introduced ten witnesses,
who attempted to prove alibis for the
prisoners.
To-day many witnesses were intro
duced by the defense, and testimony
was presented ITO show that all the
prisoners except one was engaged in
other business, and were not present
when the mill was blown up; that they
were not a part of the mob that de-
layed the mail train.
The defense will put three more wit
nesses on the stand tomorrow, and this
will furnish the evidence.
TROOPS WILL REMAIN ON DUTY.
BOISE Qdaho), Nov. "A dispatch

Curley is a clever, game boy, but Dix

less game. Dixons victory was well
earned, and by his defeat of Curley he
re-establishes what has always been
claimed, that he is. the superior of Jor-

have forfeited to Curley. Curley has
no excuse to make for his defeat to-
night other than that he was outclass-

Dixon was a big favorite, as much as

fore the Englishman donned the gloves

purse of $4,000 was guaranteed.

w. N. MatlOck, a Juneau brewer,
Preparing to Enlarge IIis Plant.

w. N. Matlock, proprietor of the largest
brewery in juneau, and one of the pho.
neers OF the brewing industry in Alaska,
was a passenger on the steamer City Of
Seattle on her last trip down from the
north. Mr.. Mas;ock is in Seattle on busi-
ness connected with his interests in Ju-
neau, 1t being his purpose to buy a large
quantity Of the latest improved machinery
for his plant. Up to within the last few
months Mr.. Matlock has confined himself
to the brewing Of steam beer. 1t is now
his intention to fit up his plant for the
making OF lager beer as well. Experiments
made during the past summer have prov
ed, he says, that good lager beer can be
made in Alaska. At present all of the
lager beer consumed in the territory is
imported, principally from Seattle and 9TH
err Puget sound cities.
Mr.. Matlock is one of the solid men of
Juneau, having already made a neat little
fortune, despite the now bygone legal OBJ
stacles to the manufacture Of beer and
other alcoholic liquors in Alaska
Among the machinery Mr.. Matlock in
tends taking north Is an icemaking plant
He says it will be cheaper to use artificial
ice than the natural product. notwith-
standing that the latter can be put in in
the winter at very nominal cost.

BOYS MANIA FOR FORGERY.
Ellsworth BOyles, Arrested Three
Times for That Onense, II
hut Nineteen Years of Age.

Ellsworth Boyles, boy 10 years OF age,
who lives at Ballard, is In the city jail,
charged with forgery for the third time
within the past few weeks. The police
have almost concluded that Boyles has a
mania for forging checks, and that he is
not responsible for his actions.
Twice previous to the present time the
boy has been arrested for forgery. and
each time his father has succeeded in In
ducing the victims not to prosecute.
Thus far the youthful forger has always
selected Tenderloin saloonkeeper for his
victim His method, 1t IL said, Is to pre-
sent check payable to himself, and sign
ed by some fictitious person, and ask the
bartender or saloonkeeper to advance him
some money on 1t, and that ne will call
around later and take the paper up. He
usually gets q small advance, and then
nothing more Is heard from him, It is
claimed, until the victim reports the mat
ter to the police and the youth Is arrested.
The complainant against Boyles in the
present instance IL the proprietor of the
Cosmopolitan saloon He says that Satur-
day night Boyies induced him to advance
1913 on a check for s6s. Boyles, he declares,
did not come around to take up the check,
and he soon ascertained that 1t was WORTH
less. He reported the matter to Officer
Freeman, who arrested the alleged forger.
Boyles will be taken before Judge Cam
today for the third time on the same
charge 1t was stated last night that his
father was once more willing to pay the
victim the amount which his son defraud-
ed him of, and thus prevent a prosecution
