The sparring exhibition which was
advertised for Murray tonight by ]. W.
Hobley, viii have to be declared off,
according to the ruling Of Judge 7, D.
Lewis OF the district court this morning
in the mandamus proceedings institute
ed by Mr.. Hobley against Mayor c, J..
Miller to compel him 10 issue a license
for the exhibition, Judge Lewis denied
the application for a writ Of man
damus on the ground that the state
statutes forbIds prize or ring nights as
being unlawful exhibitions, and. while
the ordinances Of Murray permit spar
ring exhibitions the line between the
two is not clearly drawn, and II is not
shown that the proposed exhibition VIII
not fan within the class Of unlawful
exhibitions as prohibited In the
statutes.
In his application for n writ OF man
date, Hobley alleged that he made APP
plication for a license for a sparring
exhibition. which Is permitted In the
Murray City ordinances and paid the
required amount, $40, into the treasury
for the same, but that Mayor Miller re-
iuseu 10 hlBH OF hIhnl the license. toD-
ley alleged that he had been TO con-
siderable expense IN advertising the
event and that be would be greatly
damaged unless the mayor should be
compelled by mandamus to issue the H.
cense. II will be seen by Mayor Milers
actions In this case that he intends 10
prevent prlzefights on so.cnlled spar
ring exhibitions in his city, and as ne
now has the backing Of the courts he
will undoubtedly meet with success in
his efforts In that respect.

TWO FINE LOCOMOTIVES.
San Pedro Gets Couple of the Best
Ever Brought Here.

Two Of the finest locomotives ever
IN this part Of the country were re-
eelyed by the San Pedro company in
this city Sunday evening. They are
numbered 102 and 1903, and were made
by the American Locomotive Works at
Schenectady, ~ Y. The engines were
originally Intended for oil burning. but
were changed over into coal burners
for service at this end. They are of
the Atlantic type or model, with the
two pair Of 70-inch drivers under the
central part Of the boiler and the
trebox end resting on trailer wheels.
The idea OF this latter feature is to
enable the ilrebox TO be built wider and
extend out over the frame, which
could not be done were the rear drivers
placed on either side OF the firebox.
The springs over the trailers are con-
nected by equalizlng levers with the
springs over the drivers, 80 that part
OF the weight of the rear end OF the
locomotive may by a special adjust
ment be shifted over onto tho rear end
driving axle, 70 secure greater traction
on heavy grades.
The boiler OF each OF the new engines
Is 91ss inches In diameter at the
smallest ring, Is Of A-lnch steel, and
has 326 2-inch fluee The front end has
q 2h-inch nozzle, exhaustlng into a
