OAKLAND, July 2l.-Miss Clara John
son. a handsome woman, who has long
been particularly proud Of natures gifts,
has sued the Schleuter Company for $40
because through their alleged careless
ness an iron bucket fell upon her nose

Washington street and Miss Johnson was
passing by one afternoon when the
bucket, which was suspended outside the
door <eII on her face She was badly
injured. but several doctors succeeded in
fixing the wound so that she has almost
regained her former beauty. Miss John
son was some years ago a lady in at
tendance al the royal court of Sweden

Steiner and Jeffords.

]. D. Gibbs, matchmaker of the Ma
tional Athletic Club, is trying to bring
about another meeting between boxers
Jeffords and Stelzner on the night of the
Neill-McConnen bout. They fought in the
ring of the San Francisco Athletic Club
some months since, when Steiner won
after an uphill battle. Jeffords' showing
with Jones on Thursday night is not
taken as a measure of his form. 1t is
recalled that Jeffres made a similar
showing with Mexican Pete" Everett at
the Olympic Club when they met. The
latter doubled himself up like Jones' and
Jeffries was in doubt as to what he should
do.
1t is expected Steiner and Jeffords will
soon reach an understanding as to the
purse for which they will agree to box.
