JIMMIE DEFEATS RUFF TURNER
 IN CALIFORNIA.
Terrific Right to the Body in Eleventh Round of Contest Finishes Rough Ring Battle
 at COIma.

Co1ma. Cal. Aug. 4.-The scheduled twenty-five round contest between Jimmie Gardner and Rufe Turner was won by Gardner tonight in the first three seconds of the eleventh round with a terrific right to the body. Tur- ner showed to the better advantage in the first two rounds only. After that the first was all Gardner's In the fourth round he made Turner look like a novice. Turner took a brace in the seventh round and practically evened matters but 1t was only temporary. All during the fighting Gardner dis played remarkable cleverness in duck ing and blocking. Turner was unable to reach him with any effective blows. At the conclusion of the tenth round Turner went to the floor after receiv- ing several hard rights on the body and was saved for the time being only by the bell. When the bell tapped for the eleventh round Turner came up groggy and Gardner rushed over to Turner's corner and ended matters with a terrific right clean to the wind. There was much roughing all through the fight. -saASAi is1

 Him from Asylum.

Htm TF0m AbSkuhss
 Washington. Aug. 4.-(special)- )-The local post of the Spanish American War veterans. through its commander, is interesting itself in the case of Clar- ence Moore, a former member of the 1st Tennessee Volunteers. who has for some time been an inmate of the St. Elizabetf's Hospital for the insane, and who claims to be wrongfully and ille- gally restrained.
 Moore served as an enlisted man in the 1st Tennessee Volunteers during the war with Spain and his record Is an honorable one. He claims that he has friends In Washington who are not aware of his whereabouts. and adds that although he is blind he is not now nor has he ever been demented in any degree. He also claims that his incar- ceration in the asylum is without war rant of law.
 Moore recently stated that his rela- tives at Clarksville. Tenn. are not aware that he is an inmate of St. Eliza beth's He asks for full and impar- tial investigation. and Commander Smith, who Is an attorney. says he will see to 1t that the matter Is carefully looked into.
 Dr. Smith recently secured the ac- uuittal of young soldier who shot and fatally wounded a policeman with 8 wad from blank cartridge while sky larking on the aqueduct bridge, July 4, 1904. The case Is In the hands for the complainant of John Henry Lewis. conn mander of the Spanish American Vete- rans, who is a practicing attorney. The case is one of series of instances in which soldiers have been sent to St. Elizabeth's by army officers Two of them were recently liberated, Judge Wright of the District Court holding against the practice of sending soldiers to the asylum without due legal inquiry, as in the case of civilians.
