coRBETT DEFEATS BRIGGS BUT
VICTORY is A NARROW ONE

Boston, July 23.-Young Corbett got
the decision over Jimmy Briggs at the
end of ten rounds last night. 1t was
the second time they met and each
time Briggs managed to stay the full
length of the bout.
Briggs used excellent ring judgment
and kept away from Corbett's swings
or ducked when he was pulled in close.
AS a consequence Corbett failed to
land any damaging blows and Briggs
was fresh at the finish. Corbett was
in poor condition.

 MEETING Consider Means For Bet ter Fire Protection. A PLAN OUTLINED By Which More Adequate Fire Protection May Be Secured
 in Future.

A called meeting of business men was held last Sunday afternoon at A. E. hall, for the purpose of taking steps in conjunction with the city council, to secure additional fire protection for the city, in view of the calamitous fire of that morning. There was great unanimity on the question of the neces- sity of the best fire protection possible. and as d result a committee was ap- pointed to draft recommendation for presentation to the city council at its Monday night meeting. The commit- tee discharged its duty and the result will be found in the proceedings of the city council published elsewhere in this paper.
 Geo. l.. Fish called the citizens meeting to order and J. F. A. Strong was elected chairman and J. J. Cole secretary. Mr. Fish asked for an ex- pression of opinion from the gentlemen present, and most of the citizens who were in attendance responded, all urg- ing prompt action in securing addition al fire supplies and fire engines or pumps to be stationed at convenient places. The suggestion that q pump ing station be put in at Snake river with fire plugs along Front street met with favor. The need of additional paid liremen was also pointed out, as well as the securing of additional hose, ladders and other fire paraphernalia w. II. Bush, local agent of the Pacific Coast Steamship Co.,, stated that his company would be glad to bring in without freight charge any fire sup plies that might be needed, his remarks being received with applause.
 The committee appointed to draft recommendations for presentation to the city council, was composed of A. l.. Valentine, George P. Taylor, J. C.. Muther, Felix Brown and G. F. Cog gin.
 Among the gentlemen present were Geo. l.. Fish, Geo. P. Taylor, F. F.. Meyer, Councilman Hill, A. l.. Nalen- tine, J. r. Giese, w. II. Campbell, H. G. Martens, A. w. Hall, Sam Humes, F. C.

CRIMINAL
 NEGLIGENCE Of I. R. Barr Caused Fire in the Golden Gate--Verdiet
 of Jury.

Monday afternoon Judge Reed held an inquest to inquire into the causes that led to the deaths of Mir. and Mrs. R. M. Hayes and Sherman D. Gregg, and to identify the remains. Dr. Hill identified one body as that of woman and the tthers were identified by arti- cles found on the remains.
 The cause of the fire was clearly ascertained to have originated from the use of coal oil in building fire. T. R. Barr. the second cook, who used the coal oil, stated that he took five gal lon can from the woodshed, and poured baking powder can about one-third full. Then he threw the oil into the stove; it exploded, and the flames leaped out on the floor. He got three buckets of water and dashed it on the floor. This had the effect of scattering the flames still more. Then he called for help and escaped.
 Mrs. Irene HuntoOn, a waitress, tes- tified that she heard something drop ou the floor, and then she heard water be. ing thrown.

J. W. ThOrp and J. T. Donnelly, or Donohue, the latter, it i7 said, Icing his true name, are inmates of the fed eral jail once more. Both have been boarders heretofore in the local federal bastile. Both are back in their old cells, on charges of obtaining money under false pretcnSes. Obtaining money under false pretenses means in their case that they "aaltcd" q claim on Sunset creek, and then secured S25 on a ''Iay' from Stanley Kuzcl5, we'll known mining man of this section.
 Thorp, it seems, is a veteran claim ''saIter,' and he initiated Donneily in- to the mystery. Last fall ThOrp salt ed two or three claims on Bonanza river, and in one case obtained 3jOO; in another S2JO. He did his work well. Later he was arrested and placed in jail, but escaped one day while out with d deputy looking for bail. He was sub sequentIy recaptured and spent the winter in jail while awaiting trial. This spring the ease was dismissed, it being alleged by District Attorney McGinn that the witnesses could not be found.
 Donnelly, Thorp's present partner in distress, spent last winter in jail on a charge of larceny committed in Coun- cil. So much for their previous his tory.
 According to the story told, Tnorp and Donnelly on the strength of their acquaintance formed in jail, concluded that claim "salting' waa more profit able than actual mining. 50 last Satur- day Thorp met Mr. Kuzek and told him that he had a good claim out on Sunset creek, tributary of Snake river, that he wished him to look at Kuzek went out to the claim with Thorp, who gave the name of j. W. Ross. When they reached it they found Donuelly, Thorp's alleged confederate, busily at work in a hole. An apparently violent quarrel ensued between Thorp and Donnelly.
 "What in -- are you doing on my claim?' Thorp asked the working Donnelly.
 its not your claim" Donnelly re- tortcd. "I staked it yesterday"
 And | staked it the day before." was Thorp's rej0indcr.
 A wurdy war ensucd, and then Mr. Kuzek said he would like to pan a little. A truce was called while he banned. He got 35 and 40 cents in the first hole: then he went to second and got simi- lar results in number of different pans. Thorp and DOnnelly resumed their quarreling and Ku2ek suggested to Thorp that it was better to compro- mise than go to law. Thorp WIS disin- clined to the view, but finally consent ed to dicker with Donnelly. Donnelly wanted $jG0 to quit, and after consider able chafferng, S2O) was offered Don nelly for his interest in the claim. They agreed to meet in Nome that night, and lJOHucIlN HlIHch out dCi'9S tut tuu"i" "' Kuzek and Thorr came to town to- gether, and on the way Thorp said he would have to borrow the $2OO for Don nelly. that he had had rheumatism all last winter, and was rather short of funds. Finally he executed "lay' of the clam to Kuzek who gave him $25 as earnest money.

aroused in Mrs. Kuzek's mind on the recital of the tale by her husband, and search of the recorders office con- firmed it, although claims had been re- corded by "J. w. Ross" and U. J. Don- nelly"
 Sunday MT. Kuzek went out to the claim and banned and banned in the very holes that he had visited the day before and all that he could get was few colors.
 The men were arrested by Deputy Marshal Lowe in J. J. Prest's cabin on Second street, and were identified as former inmates of the federal jail. Neither had anything to say. Their preliminary examination was begun yesterday afternoon and continued until this morning, when the cases were taken under advisement until tomorrow morning.
 Two weeks ago, it seems that Don- nelly tried to sell the same Sunset claim to c. T. Johnson. This time Thorp was on the claim, and accused Donnelly of being the jumper. Thorp offered to settle with Donnelly for slOO. They quarreled in orthodox fashion, and Johnson banned and got the regu- lar 10 cent prospect. But he didn't buy, although, it it said, he paid the fee for recording the claim. Next day he went out, accompanied by friend, and did some more banning. The re- suits were almost a blank. Now John- son is witness against Thorp, alias Ross and Donnelly, alias Donohue.
