SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-The
heavy fog which had enveloped the
arena at Colma all morning gave
place at noon to bright sunshine.
In automobiles, carriages and street
cars $4,000 fight enthusiasts early
wendell their way to COlma and
disappeared within the immense
stockade. One hundred and seventy
deputy sheriffs took places about
the vast arena to preserve order.
The picture apparatus was tested
and all was in readiness for the
entrance of the fighters.
At 10 o'clock this morning Britt
and Nelson weighed in at Harry
Corbett's resort on Ellis street.
While both were easily within the
139-pound limit, Britt had a few
ounces the better of Nelson. The
fighters then went to breakfast,
after which they took autos for the
scene of the impending battle.
Nolan Still Squabbles.
Manager Nolan protested this
morning to be still on the fence
regarding the referee. He said: AS
| feel now, will not accept Jetfries.
All we want is a square deal. If
the two men get together in Colma
this afternoon, Britt will be de
feated."
Manager Britt said: "There is
no chance for us to lose. Jimmy
is master of Nelson or any other
lightweight in the world. Compli'
cations have arised by the attempt
of Nolan to run the fight, but
there will be a fight and we will
! win"
Jeffries this morning reiterated
his determination to referee the
| fight regardless of the attitude OF
either of the managers. He said

Some petty larcenists have been
squelched; but the great game, said
to have been soaring about Spo-
kane seeking what it might devour,
has not been bagged.
At high noon today the grand
Jury ceased it's labors, submitted
it's report to Judge POindeXter, re-
ceived his formal thanks, got it's
discharge, it's members smiled and
once more resumed their places in
the common walks of life.
Today they indicted Sherman
w. Minthorn and II. l.. Bond of
Hillyard for running blind pigs in
their drug stores; James Dalton for
the murder of Policeman Stotlio,
and Claude f. Lee for embezzle-
ment from o. c. Becker. They re-
turned no bills against Fred Hunt
for implication in the Stotko MUIR
der, against Edith Marchildon and
Nellie Hughes for harboring Dalton,
and against M. A. Watson for
stealing a $45 watch. In the last
case insanity is given for the rea-
son of a no bill.
The grand jury went into session
on July IS. It's own tabulation of
cases examined, which was sub
mitted with its final report, shows
that Ga cases were examined into
and approximately $50 witnesses
examined. True bills had been
found in % cases, no bills in Is

county, called for the specific pur-
poses of finding graft in the city
and county offices, have decided

Quoted from the White House down
to the veriest precinct In the entire
sisterhood of states.
The grand jurors could not find
graft in the purchase of the De-
carrie incinerator plant; though
town talk had been rife for months
and the judges charge specifically
mentioned that fact. They could
not find police graft, though it was
notorious, according to certain talk
alive ones. There was graft to be
found at the courthouse, according
to story and whisper, and the best
the grand jury could do was to
censure the commissioners for be-
ing reckless regarding the DR.. Nor

The report takes whack at May
or Daggett's administration and
suggests something. 1t eXonerates
the county assessors deputies, but
suggests that if blueprints are need
ed the county should do the work
and receive pay therefor.
The report is as follows:
ITO the Honorable Miles Poin-
dexter, judge of the superior court
of Spokane county:
THE grand jury called by your
honor to convene July Is, 1905, beg
to submit their final report
"Our former report was devoted
to the investigation of the county
affairs. Since that report was made
the jury find that it has been the
practice of the Office of the county
assessor to make blueprints for the
use and convenience of private
the same, and while it was shown
in the main that the materials and
labor used in these blueprints did
not belong to the county, the jury
believe the practice to be repre-
hensible, and recommend that such
work should be done upon the
county time and with the county's
materials, and regular schedule
of prices established and the pro-
ceeds of the sale of such blueprints
turned over to the county treasurer.
