SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

TONOPAH, Dec. 5.-The GansHer-
man worlds lightweight championship
contest scheduled to take place in
Tonopah on New Years day, will be
held in what will eventually be the
largest prizefight arena the world has
ever seen. The building, now under
construction, will be thoroughly
equipped.
When Cans and Herman hook up for
the title and a $4,000 purse ii will be
IN a building that is only j starter OF
the structure that will place Tonopah
on the pugilistic map in very cargo
letters. The lack of time between now
and the New Years day contest has
forced the club to build a structure
that will have to be remodeled after
the fight to conform with the original
plans and which, when finally COM
pleted. will cost the casino Athletic
Club over $4,000.
The arena covers a site 40 feet
square. The ring platform is located
in the center and is twenty-four Feet
square. The platform is elevated three
and a half feet above the floor level
and is surrounded by double row of
press seats Three rows OF boxes run
back from the four sides of the ring,
each box having a seating capacity
of twelve persons. Starting directly
back Of the last row OF boxes is the
inclined plans on which the bench seats
are to be placed. There are to be nine
teen rows Of benches, and from the
first row to the last the elevation will
be thirty-one feet
The seating capacity of the srena
figures $500 and the box office receipts
from a complete sale of the house will
total $4,000.
One of the best features of the arena
is that it will be entirely rooted over.
but two-thirds Of the roof and six feet
OF the sidewalk will be of glass which
can be easily removed, allowing the
arena to be turned into al open-air
pavilion. This arrangement will al
low the club to take advantage of all
kinds of weather in the holding of
fights.
The arena, when ready for the Cans
something over 100000. Immediately
after this fight the club will set to
work to remodel the building.
1t is obvious that, on account OF the
heavy expense in building the arena,
the Casino Club is in the fight promot
ing business to stay. Manager Riley
of the club will withdraw from active
charge OF his many business interests
during the coming year and will de-
vote his entire time to the work of
handling the clubs affairs. He will
act as matchmaker for the club and
promises that during the year 1907 he
will pull off some of the greatest cham
pionship contests the world has ever
seen. AS. far as backing goes, the
Casino Club has unlimited resources, as
among it's silent members" are some
OF the wealthiest men in the entire
State of Nevada.

WIRELESS SYSTEM
FOR THE ARMY

WASHINGTON, Dec 5.-The United
States army is keeping pace with other
countries in the matter OF modern ap-
planes Of warfare. The successful
use Of wireless telegraphy in announc-
ing the movements of battleships
caused the officials of the War Depart
ment to cast about for wireless out
1T that would be at once compact and
portable and which could be installed
in the field in the shortest possible
time. Experiments conducted by the
signal service within the last few
months have resulted in the construc-
ton by the Government of a number
OF. outfits OF that kind and they are
being distributed among the various
commands.
The high cost OF wireless material
abroad led the Government to make its
own appliances at an immense saving,
but il is said that they embody the
principal elements OF the latest i'm
provements Of apparatus OF this kind.
Although it is felt that these outfits
viii ultimately be vastly improved
upon, they are already capable of do
ing the most efficient work. They are
50 constructed that they can easily
be transported on the backs of three
horses or mules and may be set up
IN twenty minutes. They can transmit
messages about 100 miles and a valu-
able feature is that they will not in
terfere with each other in their opera
ton. The coast artillery stations will
be fitted up with the same outfits by
which communication may be had with
ships at sea and transmitted to the
field II necessary.
When the army Of pacihcation went
TO Cuba it took along a couple of wire

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


wATSoNvILLE, Dec 5.-An attempt
to hold up and rob two jacksonville
young ladies who were in a buggy
on the road between Moss Landing

tiers, the latter the daughter of a
prominent physician here, had been at
Castroville during the day, where Miss
Strive had been collecting some money

standing in the middle of the road
He made a threatening gesture and
several times commanded them to halt
Instead of obeying, Miss Struve struck
her horse with the whip and 1t sprang
past the highwayman, who mounted and
pursued the girls until the approach
of a man from jacksonville caused
him to fee IN the other direction.
Later in the evening the local off,
GERS arrested man who gave his name
as Fred Danna and claimed to be
searching for some lost cattle from the
pearance and that of the horse he rode
tally exactly with the descriptions
given by the young ladies'.

the road at the time, but denies guilt
OF the attempted robbery.
