4 result ot ;'7e threatened attack upon
Mr.. Lyon by Major Black Friday. The
varrents were sworn ont before Robt.
Moorman, magistrate, by Owen DAILY,
chief of police.
Major Black was served with the
paper yesterday afternoon and appear
ed before the magistrate With his at
torney. Mr.. Lyon, after the adjourn
ment of the investigating committee
several days ago, left the city, and
as a consequence has not yet been
served.
An effort was made to give Major
Black a hearing yesterday afternoon,
tbut as both he and Mr.. Lyon are
charged with a common offence it
was found that both would have to be
present and submit astimony. No
witnesses are named IN the warrant
and the only testimony to be taken
will be the statement of the two
named therein.
Upon the appearance of Major
Black before the magistrates court
yesterday morning he was released
under a bond of $1,000 until the hear
ing can be held. His bondsmen were
Gen. Willie Jones and Mr.. J. P. Math-
ews. Major Black requested that if
the case should not be taken up be-
fore Wednesday morning it be post
poned until June u, as it is neces-
sary for him to leave the city during
that time. 1t is not expected that
iMr. Lyon will be able to reach Colum-
iOia by Wednesday morning. In fact,
it was not stated when he would be
present.
The bond under which Major Black
was released was not peace bond,
but simply bond for appearance at
the proper time.

By the wiping out of San Francis co, America has lost it's old time pu- giIistic headquarters for many months to come. Sporting men say it will be
 a year at least before boxing can be revived there, and it may be two or
 three years before any more big bouts are scheduled. Mechanics pavilion
 where nearly all the important fights
 were decided, is no more. Even if it
 remained it could not possibly have attracted paying crowds for many months.
 Outside of the city is the big open air athletic inclosure, known as the Colma Athletic Club. It is simply a place where bouts have been decided in the open, and undoubtedly would
 be available had the catastrophe been
 of smaller proportions. As matters stand, however, the ring enthusiasts of the city will have no time to pay
 attention to fights.
 There remains, therefore, Los Ange-
 les and Philadelphia as the central places for pugilism in the future, un- less the former city suffers with its neighbor. Several important bouts are scheduled to be decided in the Pa cific Coast Athletic, Clubs ring at Los Angeles in the next few weeks.
 Jimmy Britt and Kid" Herman
 were to have faced each other at Los Angeles on May 8, and the most i'm portant fight ever held at McCarey' 's club, the meeting between Battling Nelson and Arrelia Herrera, was scheduled for May. The advance sale for these affairs was very lag~ 7aresst- k
 seems hardly possible thar jr~Carey ! will attempt to conduct them under 1 present conditions on the coast. ! If Los Angeles is affected to the ex. ] tent that important fights can not be held prOfitably, it will mean an exc, | dus of fighters from the Pacific Coast ! to Eastern cities, and an eXtraordipa.
 " revival of pugilism in the East The Tuxedo Club of Esseington, Pa,
 stands cut as the greatest fight mart
 and it is probable that Tom O'Rourke
 and his associates can select their
 own cards for some time to come.

Abe Attell and Frankie Neil were to have settled their differences this last week for the featherweight championship of the world, but this also has been postponed until the 4th of May, providing Neil can be located and is in condition to enter the ring about that time.
