FITZ AND CoRBETT.
Proposed Contest Between the Two
in Frisco.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug 2-The next
hattie between heavy weights will in
Eli proba bility be fought between JEFF
fries and Corbett and in San Francisco.
Before Jeffries met Fftzsimmons he
promised Harry Corbett that in the
event of victory he would box his
brother who is very anxious Tor an,
other match. While this contest will
undoubtedly excite widespread interest,
another one could be arranged which
would draw fully as large an audience.
If some club matched Jim Corbett and
Bob Fitzsimrnons it would make ten
strike. #@
Fftzsimmons announced his retire.
ment again Friday night In dramatic
fashion, but it might be possible to
induce him to box again.
AS to Corbett, he has both eyes on
Jeffries and 1t would be difficult to turn
him in another direction, but If some
clever diplon at succeeded in match
ing these two old rivals, what battle
it would be- In their last fights both
men showed beyond all doubt that
there were fights left in them, and il
they met the public might see q great
er contest than was witnessed at Car
son.
1t is perfectly wonderful what fine
hearing apparatus w. w. Naughton
has. Naughton was sitting fully 80 feet
from where F'itzsimmons fell last FRI
day night, and he heard words which
Bob uttered that entirely escaped
Houseman. Siler. Harris, and others
who had seats within eight feet of
where the fight was ended. Siler,
Hoaseman and Harris were reporting
great battle for their papers. and
were fully as DESTROYS of sending all
the happenings away as Naughton.
They had eyes open and their ears
stretched to catch every detail. but
strange sounds they heard not Naugh-
ton, like General Sheridan, 80 feet away,
caught words which he is positive Fitz-
simmons spoke. 1t is really the great
est feat of long-distance hearing on
record.
Some night when the moon is full
Naughton will hear noises in that direc-
ton.

Two Wife Murderers Must Face
Their Fate.
CASES ARE SIMILAR.
Both Will Plead Insanity as a
Defense.
James Kaye is One, and John G.
Lowe the Other.

There will be a good sized criminal
docket for the September term Of the
district court including the trial of two
wife murderers, John c. Lowe and Jas.
Kaye.
Both cases will require considerable
time for the trials and in securing the
juries. Kaye murdered his wife one
night with fiat iron after they had re-
turned home from q lodge meeting.
Kaye was employed at the Crosby mills.
He left there about midnight and later
was found hanging by rope from the
old viaduct. He was cut down and
saved. When the men who prevented
him from committing suicide went to
his home they found the dead body of
his wife with her head crushed. A
bloody fiat iron told the story. 1t is
expected that he will attempt to prove
insanity.
John c. Lowe, who murdered his wife,
Fanny Lowe, at the reform school, will
be tried on the charge of murder. One
Sunday morning Lowe ordered his wife
to go to their room with him. A few
minutes later several shots were heard.
Night Waterman Smith was the first
to reach loves room. He found Mrs.
Lowe lying on the floor with two bullet
wounds in her abdomen. Lowe had a
slight scalp wound inflicted by bullet.
Lowe had his preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice T. T. Wright and was I'M
expectediy allowed 5000 bail He Is
now supposed to be at the Osawatonie
insane asylum. His defense will also
probably be insanity.

charge Of assaulting Rosie Homer:

TO find expression in various parts of
the city, Notwithstanding that Mr..
Marshall insists that he has served

so without sacrifice of personal in

bringing out a candidate in the
Seventh ward in the event of Mr..
Marshall declining to run again, but
all who have spoken on the subject
