By W. w. NAUGHTON.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 19.-Heavy-
weight pugilists are no longer the
vogue. This was shown at the Gus
Ruhlin-lim Mccormick contest at Col
ma some nights ago.
The house was the poorest probably
that the CoIma promoters have known
It was much smaller than the crowd
that attended the Frank o'Nein-Harry
Teuny battle From inside informa-
tion it Is learned that the gate receipts
did not total Sl.Go0. And such a fight
The crowd began TO jeer before the
first round was finished and kept it up
until Mccormick, finally Topped TO the
floor, more weary and disgusted than
punished. The contest made patent d
couple Of things.
one is that Gus Rubin, never a
worIdbeater, i only 4 wrath OF the

The other is that Mccormick was
never cut out for q champion. San Fran

time the Colma Club is worried because

appetite of the public for the fight. and

HUSBAND KILLS WIFE.
Fatal Shooting of Woman Who Pre- scented Courts Divorce Decree Grant,
 ing Her Custody of Child.

Mountain Home, Oct. g. News reached here yesterday of the killing of Mrs. Jim Russell by her husband, who lives on Big Creek in the eastern part of the county. The tragedy grew out of a divorce suit at the recent term of chancery court at which time the wife secured divorce and also the custody of the only child. When she presented the courts order for the babe, Rus sell shot her, and as she started to run shot her again, inflicting fatal wounds. He then turned the gun on himself and inflicted a wound that is likely to prove fatal, although at this writing he is still alive.
