So quickly sere.

As withered leaves they fall and stay
And disappear.

Cup Races are Very Close.

SAP ndCEo are very OiOSe.
Whether Sir Thomas Upton will "Iift
the cup or not still remains to be fully
determined. The trials thus far have not
only failed To settle the matter, but have
not demonstrated which is the better
yacht. The score to date is one close win
Tor Columbia and two unfinished races.
Another trial is 10 be had today. The
first start was made last week Thursday.
The American boat crossed the line in the
better position. The course was 15 miles
to windward and return. The Columbia
led most Of the way to the outer mark,
but the wind fell of and the boats were
unble to finish within the time limit.
When it expired, the Columbia was over
half a mile ahead. The next race was
Saturday. The Shamrock got the best
start. The yachts sailed very evenly in
the eight-knot breeze, though the Sham
rock made gain Of 80 seconds to the out
er mark. On the return. sailing before the
wind the Columbia overcame this lead
and crossed the finish line but 81 seconds
ahead Of the Shamrock, winning on cor
rected time by minute and 20 seconds.
Il IS the closest race except one in the his
tory Of cup racing. The third trial was
Tuesday over a 80 mile triangular course
The wind was very light. Columbia won
the start and led for a time, but Shamrock
got the best OF the wind and forged ahead
AN the luck WIS with the British boat It
was impossible 10 conclude the race in the
light wind. which fell to absolute calm al
times. When ii ceased, the Shamrock was
half a mile ahead. The closeness Of the
races has greatly stimulated interest. The
Shamrock has proven formidable yacht,
and her chances % win are good, Betting
odds are slightly in favor Of Columbia.

occasions he has been before the court
on various charges, ranging from that Of
being frequenter of houses OF nl-fame
to the more serious charge of insulting
white woman on the streets.
Various accounts of the trouble have
been given differing in details, but all
agree as to the cause of the shooting.
The young colored girl who did the
shooting and Boland have been appa-
rently inseparable companions for a
number Of months, but of late the girl
suspected that she has not been the sole
recipient Of her admirers affections, and
she concluded to keep a sharp lookout

shooting hardly day passed that she
did not send him something by mes
senger or call at the Jail with food and
cigars herself. When informed of the
shooting of the woman Shafer burst into
tears and said she was his only real
friend.
The crime committed by Shafer was
the result of some previous trouble
/, among the cOlored population of the
bad land district. On the evening of the
: day previous to it they had all visited
Columbia Gardens, and danced, drank
and whooped up things generally. In
the course of the evening Hawkins en-,
tered the ball room and some of the
other darkies did not like it. because
they considered him only a common
coon. Hawkins was fighter, and when
one of the others told him he had no
business in the swell set he proceeded to
make a rough house out of the place.
They fought to the outside where one
of the swell set drew a gun and took
few shots at Hawkins, but Hawkins
escaped the bullets by reason Of the poor
craftsmanship OF the shooter and the
protection hack afforded him.
About o'clock in the morning the
party returned to the city and the Shafer
end of it went to the Swim saloon for
refreshments. While there Hawkins,
who had returned to town after being
fired upon at the gardens. walked into
the room and was shot by Shafer. After
receiving the bullet he wrenched the
weapon from Shafer. and then Big
Eva" and Al Ford loaned Shafer . hep
ing hand in the melee.

Saturday evening Bessie had consi1-

himself to SO, SO she claims. Boland
states that she gave him the money, but
it matters little how he came by It,
Bessie found in this an excuse to call
at Room q in the ''Owl' block, corner
of East Galena and Wyoming streets,
and demand of BOland her money.
Her suspicious were confirmed when
the door was opened. for there she found
the man to whom she had been SO at

jealousy and hatred, the young woman
left without a word to Boland or Eva,
but was back again in a few moments.
She demanded her SO hardly before the
door was opened. muttering in mono
syllables to herself about the actions of
her Chick"
Eva went to the door of the room, and.

her victim fell backwards into the room.

cluded to investigate. The head Of the
department made a search Of the rooms
although the woman who conducts the
place and two or three colored men were
abusive towards the officer. Fearing that
the colored people might succeed in
rushing the woman to a more secure
place. the chief sent for Officer Curley.
and they found room No. II securely
fastened. and made the proprietors pro-
duce the key. At this time Boland ap-
peared and the chief arrested him on sus-
picion Of knowing more about the shoot
ing tnan he cared to divulge.
Officer Curley entered the room and
found the colored girl under the bed.
She was arrested and together with her
lover, taken to the city hall and finally
to the county Jail.
Boland would say very little
except that he believes the shooting was
caused by his attentions 10 the Smith
woman and neglect Of Bessie. RI. latter
claimed. when questioned. that 1t was not
her intention to injure Eva, but she adj
mitted having shot her. All effort to get
statement from the injured woman
was unsuccessful and after muttering.
