CHICAGO, Sept lone of the most
scientific contests witnessed here in years

mixer, Harris contenting himself with
meeting Barry's rushes with short jabs
and an occasional right-hand swing.

ing rights. In the fourth Harris evened
up matters with a couple of hard upper,
cuts and repeated jabs on Barry's mouth.

SANTA CRUZ BUYS
HIM WATER PLANT
Long-Standing Trouble Between the
Corporation and the Munici-
pality at an End.

SANTA CRUZ, Sept. Through the ef-
forts of citizens an agreement has been
reached with the Him Company for the
transfer of its water system to the city
Of Santa Cruz, thus ending the water is
sue, which has been before the people Of
Santa Cruz ever since the city constructed
Its own system. At an informal meeting
held last evening by the City Council the
proposition of the Him Company was ac-
cepted. The agreement carries with 1t an
additional agreement that the Him Com
pany will sell to the city the Brancefort
system whenever East Santa Cruz shall
be come a part of the city, the value
thereof to be determined by arbitration.
All litigation between the city and COM
pany is to be dropped, the latter paying
all taxes and costs.
Recently the city offered to purchase the
Him system for $3.50, 900, at the rate of $500
per month for thirty years, at the end of
which time the city was to become the
absolute owner. The corporation was will
ing to sell its system within the limits of
the city, but declined to dispose of that
part of the system which supplied East
Santa Cruz. All negotiations were there
upon declared off, and the Council adopted
resolution giving free water for do
mestic purposes on and after September l.
This resulted in a reduction of the reve-
nue. derived by the Him Company, and
the latter then came to terms.
The addition of these systems to its own
will give the city an income which in time
will almost defray the running expenses
of the municipal government, and is ex-
pected to make a material reduction in
the tax rate.

CRASH OF
CARS NEAR
CUERNEVILLE
Lumber Train, Running at
Full Speed, Dashes Into
Six Flat Cars.
THREE MEN INJURED
No One Can Account for the Pres
ence of the Flat Cars on
the Track.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA ROSA, Sept Last night
shortly after o'clock the Sonoma
Lumber Company's logging train
dashed into six fiat cars standing on
the main track just outside the COM
pany's yards at Guerneville. and as a
result three men were badly injured,
the engine demolished and three fiat
cars knocked into kindling wood.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Tom Lane, and is used by the lumber
company to carry logs from the lum-
Der camp in the woods near Bohemia
to the mills a Guerneville. The start
back from Mission Canyon had been
delayed and the trains crew was anXi-
Gus to reach home. When near the end
of the journey the crash came without
a moments warning.
Conductor Lane and Engineer Mort
Deal were hurled to one side of the
track and Fireman Ed Teadman to the
other. When picked up all three were
unconscious, and Lane and Deal have
been in that condition ever since.
How fiat cars happened to be stand
ing on the track has not yet been sat
isfactorily explained. When the train
left the yard earlier in the afternoon
the track was clear. The only explana-
tion possible seems to be that the cars
had been left standing on siding un-
secured and by their own weight start
ed down the grade and ran to the point
where the accident occurred. When
the crash came the engine was turned
completely around and fell with it's
wheels in the air.
Conductor Tom Lane and Engineer
Mort Deal are very badly injured and
both may die. Teadmans injuries were
less severe, but he will be laid up for
a long time. Deal is injured internally
and also about the head and back
Lane has cut three inches deep down
his hip, his back is hurt and internal
complications have arisen. Teadman
sustained a broken shoulder and was
also badly bruised. Medical attendance
was at once secured and everything
possible done to relieve the sufferinss
of the men,

Judge Coffey Expresses His Opinion
of ATTORNEY Rogers.

Proceedings in the matter of the estate
Of the late Lawrence Murphy will in the
future be heard by Judge Trout, the ac.
ton having been transferred from De-
partment of the Superior Court by

whether there were other heirs living,
communicated with the United States
Consul at Cork, Ireland. the birthplace of
the deceased. The matter of Lawrence

and James T. Rogers, their attorney
asked that the case be transferred. They
charged Judge Coff1ey with "bias and

PARTY ORGANIZED TO
SEARCH FOR SKELETON
Sheriff Langford Has No Doubt
That the Bones Are Those
of Dunham.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 1.-Sheriff Langford
and Deputy REEVES have reached here
from their unsuccessful hunt for the skel-
eton seen in the mountains near Pacheco
Pass. The Sheriff says there is no earth
ly doubt that the skeleton is there just
as Fred Keeler of Visalia says he saw it.
keeler is a reliable young man. He was
lost and badly frightened when he STUN
bled across the remains and only sought
to get away from the place and into the
road once more.
The belief which the searching officers
have had that the bones are those of
Dunham has become almost profound
conviction. Sheriff Langford has deter
mined to find them and he is now prepar-
ing to organize a big searching party
equipped to stay in that desolate country
for days. 1t is possible that the Sheriffs
of Fresno Merced and San Benito coun-
ties will be asked TO join with similarly
equipped party Langford would not have
given up the search when he did but for
the fact that keeler was forced to be in
Visalia to-day. He will arrange his af-
fairs and join the Sheriffs in the next
hunt which will probably be some time
next week. Langford says all of the facts
known point to the remains being those
of Durham.
