Victor Seem Of Long Beach Starts on
Endurance Run and Has Not
Been Heard From Since
Sunday

Not only worried family, but a
greatly concerned motorcycle club. Is
wondering as to the whereabouts of 16-
year-old Victor Steem, who was last
seen mending a punctured tire at
Azusa Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock
Young Steem, whose home is at 227
East Second street. Long Beach, started
to accompany the Los Angeles Motor
cycle club members on the endurance
run to San Bernardinc. Tteem went as
an outsider and not as contestant.
The young man left the c.-y with A.
Boyd of Long Beach, but was obliged
to stop at Azusa because of tire trouble
F. e. Carroll was the last of the cyclists
to start, and passed Steem at Azusa
where he was mending the puncture.
The lads mother visited Los Angeles
yesterday in hope that some of the
motorists might have received word of
the missing boy. To late hour last
night nothing had been heard from him,
and Mrs. Steem expressed the opinion
that some accident has occurred which
is keeping the boy away.
Mr.. Carroll, in speaking of the mys-
ter,ous case last night, said: 81 feel
sure that something must have befallen
young Steem. as he was a boy of ex-
cellent habits and fond of his home
Should nothing be heard of him by Sun
day the motorcycle club will start a
I.search over the route taken in the
endurance run and along the roads
leading from the main route"
When last seen Steem was dressed in
light gray suit with leather cap. The
young man rode an Indian machine and
was five feet six inches in height.

FISTIC CARD IS
NOW COMPLETE
SIX LIVELY BOUTS CARDED
FOR JULY 20
Harry Baker to Meet Kid Webster
All Wing Anticipates That He viii
Put Eddie Hemey Away
Without Trouble

Six lively affairs which are to provide
excitement at McCarey's fstic carnival
July 20 were scheduled yesterday, and
until the evening of the entertainment
nothing remains but an active period
of training on the part of twelve young
men carded to exhibit their prowess.
Torres and Patrick, two young
Ethopians, have contracted to provide
the first spasm. 1t has been long since
representatives of the colored tribe ap.
peared between local ropes, but the
boys are said to be mixers of a rapid
sort, and McCarey billed them for the
opening number.
Abdul, he of Constantinople, and
Rain-in- the Face, formerly an Apache
chief, Will try conclusions in the secon
affair. A delightful uncertainty sur
rounds the Turk-Indian go, and just
who will win may readily be determined
by tossing 81 coin Abdul left Turkey
because the Constantinople fight club
was closed by royal edct of the sultan,
who was refused complimentary
ticket. Alb says that McCarey, could
give the Turkish promoters cards and
spades when it comes to management,
all of which should be reassuring to
those who have at any time doubted
the wisdom of McCarey's regime.
Kid Dalton and Monte Attell may
provide bad quarter of an hour when
they come together in the third number.
Dalton is one of the toughest PROPOSE
tions encountered by aspiring ringster,
I'm this neck of the woods, while Monte
Attell has exhibited no small clever
ness during his short stay i'm Los An
geles Monte has ever been a factor N
the training of his brother Abe and
much of the formers ability has been
extracted from frequent encounters
with Monte.
Then All Wing and Eddie Memey will
give Announcer Cook another oppor-
tunity to display his eloquence. All
was not satisfied at his last showing
and intimates that there will be one
lively time when he gets in the ring
with a man somewhere near his own
weight.
Memey is not without reputation
around San Francisco, and although he
is diminutive chap expects to make
Wing step some.
Harry Baker conquerCr of Kid Dali
ton, is to go on with Webster. Web
sters last battle resulted in a sensa-
tional finish when he shot a hard right
that sent his opponent out, as he for
merly appeared to have the better of
the milling.
Last but not least will be the sched-
uled ten-round bout between Cyclone"
Johnnie Thompson and Kid Montana.
This event should prove the affair of
the evening, as both boys are possessed
of sufficient courage and ability to make
an interesting go. Montana claims he
was stale when he fought Billy Walsh
last Friday, and expects to put up a
better contest with the Cyclone. It
would appear as though Montana was
not at his best during the holiday go.
Montana admitted that he held Walsh
a, trhe too cheap and did not anticipate
that the youngster could stand the gaff
so long as he did.
Thompson witnessed the go between
Walsh and Montana and declares that
the Kid will be an easy proposition.

THOMPSON IN RAGE WHEN
HE TRIED TO KILL JUDGE
STATEMENT OF
VICTIM GIVEN OUT
Prisoner Said to Seattle Chief That If
Officers Had Attempted to Rush

Them, 700
4y Associated I-ress.

~ RSSONldlSu I-TeSS.
SEATTLE, Wash, July 10.-The ante
mortem statement of Judge Emory,
given to his friend Daniel Kelleher,
has been reported to the prosecuting at =
torney and will be used as evidence
against Chester Thompson.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Judge
John F. Miller said the question was
in the hands of Mr.. Mcintosh.
The statement made by Judge Emory
merely bears out the statements of
witnesses of the shooting.
The judge said that he told Chester
Thompson over the telephone that he
need not attempt to see Charlotte Whit
tlesey as she did not wish to see him.
He said that when Thompson rushed
past him he followed and was intending
to prevent him from going up stairs
when Thompson shot him.
This statement bears out the belief of
the police that the young man was
merely in a state of Jealous rage when
he killed the judge.
Chief of Police Wappenstein Is of the
belief that young Thompson was sane
at the time of the shooting when he
talked with the young man Immediately
after the shooting and Thompson told
him that II the officers had attempted
to rush the door he would have shot TO
kill again.
