city or town bred man who has all his life
bumped his back over a desk, living an
unhealthy, sedentary life and failed to take
any care of his health, could not stay on
the back of one of these vicious brutes for
more than three jumps.
1t takes a whole man to conquer vicious
animal. People may talk about intellectual
superiority and refinement and good breed
ing, but every man takes off his hat to
physical strength and endurance While
the man who leads sedentary life cannot
hope, in this respect, to rival these sturdy
men of the plains, they can be sound, Wig
orous, healthy men if they will. 1t is a
matter of care OF health wi1ile@one has it
and the proper measures to restore it when
it is lost. Most diseases begin with some
liver. Troubles of this nature starve the
body, because they prevent it from receiv-
ing its proper supply of nourishment. Dr..
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery gives a
man an appetite like a cowboys and the
digestion of an ostrich. Its great work is
upon the stomach, large irtestines and liver
These are the organs that nourish man s
body. This medicine makes them strong,
vigorous and healthy 1t fills the blood
with the nourishment that builds new,
solid and healthy flesh, muscle and nerves.

having suffered for years with chronic catarrh. -
writes Ramon Sanchez, Esq of Penasco, Taos
Co., New MEXICO. BY the use of your Golden
Medical Discovery have recovered my health
and am now, physically sound man attending
to my business and enjoying life"

Morris Seeberg at the
Point Of Death.
FOUGHT THlRTY-ONE ROUNDS
HOW TWO FRESNO MEN SET
TIED THEIR DIFFERENCES.
There Has Been Bad Blood Between
Them and Saturday They Had
It Out in the Old-Fash-
toned Way.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO. June 23.-Gregory Quigley
and Morris Seeberg, two prominent young
men of this county, were the participants
in a brutal ring contest which took place
three miles south of this city last Satur-
day afternoon The affair was kept quiet
at the time and perhaps would never
haVe become public had il not been for
its probably fatal ending. Ever since the
fight Seeberg has been unconscious and
his death is hourly expected. The ply
sicians who have been attending him say
it is impossible for him to live.
The place where the fight occurred was
the FL Modello packing house in Central
Colony. About a hundred friends OF the
principals were present and Jack Hardi-
gan, a local prizefighter, was selected as
referee. A ring was improvised on the
floor of the packing house and the men
went at each other.
Reports of what took place are some
what conflicting, but it is said that See
berg had the better of his opponent up to
the last round. The men were pretty
evenly matched. however, as is evidenced
by the fact that the mill lasted thirty
one rounds.
In the thirty-irst round Seeberg slipped
ana fell to the floor. As he was falling
Ouigley landed on his head. The fallen
man never recovered consciousness. He
was removed TO his home and since that
time mas remained UNCONSCIOUS although
occasionally for at short intervals he is
able to answer questions half intel
ligibly The attending physicians are DIR.
Rowell and Miss Wood. a consultation
was held few days ago, but neither ply
stefan saw much ground for hope. Nor
ris Seebcrg is well known in this city
having been a member of the Fresno
football team.
QuiEiey's friends claim that Seebere
was suffering from a kick which he re-
ceived from a horse some time ago and
that when he entered the ring he was in
no condition to fight. They say his sub
seoUcnt illness is due to exhaustion rather
than to a blow from Qugley.
The cause of the fight, as nearly as car
be learned. was q grudge of long stand
ing between the men. This feeling OF
hostility was intensified about three OF
four weeks ago in Central Colony wher
Quigley had a fight with a boy, who was
much smaller than himself. Seeberg was
present and interfered and this resulted
in bad blood between the two men, Al
the closing exercises Of the Central
Colony school they had a war of words
and at last agreed to fight out their diff
ferences on Saturday.
All who were present when the fight
took place were sworn to secrecy and II
has -been difficult to learn anything
definite in regard to the occurrence. The
foregoing story, however, is substantially
correct. Quigley has not yet been ar
rested

| 7 have reported a great faith in the coun-
| trv and stated the facts upon which L
! base NV faith. and that faith l still have.
| Bv order in council of July Is, 1891 the
| regulations which previous to that time
| exacted a royalty OF per cent were
| amended making the royalty ~ ana ~
per cent, according to the product OIL inc
mine. as is we'll known. Had my reports
| been responsible in any way for this the
! change must have been made long before.
| The last reports which L sent to Ottawa
| from this region previous to my arrival
there in person We're dispatched about
| the middle of January, 1887. have as
| serted not only as the result of my own
| observations but those of men upon whom
l can rely, that Bonanza from NO oo pc
| low to No. 80 above, will be good for $50
| 600 600, and that Ell Dorado Will produce
| the same sum and that the whole district
| in the vicinity of Dawson will probably
| yield 500 600 600.
Il do not believe any of these state
| ments are exaggerations. What really
| led to the imposition OF the royalty, IN my
| belief, was the grossly eXaggerateq state
ments in the newspapers of the Western
| coast, which papers seemed to vie with
| one another in printing the most sensa~
tional tales of the wealth brought out by
| the miners who landed al Seattle and San
| Francisco.
Most of them were absurd inventions,
| if not of the miners themselves, then of
| the reporters; but they were sent by wire
| over the world and were accepted no
| doubt by the people of Canada as truth,
and it was the wish of the people that the
great expense that this new country was
| then piling up at Ottawa should be met
| in some measure at least out of these
vast sums that the ground was said to be
yielding up That is the explanation of
the royalty. 1t will be removed imme-
dately upon this impression being cor
rected

of them and a few of them brought con
siderable gold dust. Others were report
ed TO have drafts for large amounts,
while others came home without riches
No accurate estimate of the amount of
gold dust can be made, for the reason
that the figures given by the different
passengers vary widely, ranging all the
way from S25Oo00 to 100000. Still more
dverging are the conjectures as to the
amount Of drafts. Including drafts and
dust the estimates range from 100000 TO
81 80 900.
Purser Carroll claims that he had in
his custody $3.50 900 in dust. and estimates
that there was about $500 900 more in the

Want a Free Ferry.

RIO VISTA, June 23.-The petition Of
Yolo County residents in the vicinity of
Freeport to the Sacramento Board of Su-
pervisors asking that body not to grant
the De Soto ferry franchise, has provoked
class war in that section. Instead of the
toll ferry the Yoloites desired a free
ferry, but met organized opposition by
the Sacramentans residing along the river
who claim they have been unable to OBJ
tain much-needed improvements, and
therefore, do not want to pay Yolo citi-
zens ferriage. In the vicinity of Walnut
Grove bridge is wanted across Geor-
giana Slough, but for two years the mat
ter has hung fire. This is given as a
reason for the opposition to the Yoloites
The proposed bridge would be a great
benefit to residents of that vicinity. 1t is
estimated $4,000 would cover the entire
cost of construction.

SCHEME TO LOWER PRICES.
Fruit-Buyers Delay the Making of
Contracts for Crops.

MARYSVILLE, June 23.-Horticultur
lists of tbs section are anxious regarding
the prices they are to receive for their
fruit this season. The managers of the
canneries have told them they had in
structions to make no figures on fruit
crops before July s. One grower said to-
day:
Il take that to mean that the combine
has a scheme on foot. 1t proposes to hold
off until the fruit is thoroughly ripened
on the trees. and. consequently, in a con-
dition that will force the grower to dis
pose of his product at the first oppor-
tunity. Early in the season we were led
to believe choice peaches would bring S45
and $50 ton, but now we are told we
must consider ourselves in luck if we get
