land frauds in New Mexico.
He Is accompanied by an assistant
who will aid him in the work. One
of the first cases to be taken up will
be that in which II, j. Hagerman in
volyed himself and for which he was
removed by the president. This case

II frauds are found, no leniency
will be shown any one and prosecu-

Because of recent publicity given

San Francisco, Cal, July 5.--Many
sports and followers Of the fistic
game, whom 1t cost from IS to $50
in addition to their railroad fare to
see Tommy Burns knock out Bill
Squires in the first round at Colma
yesterday. left today for their homes.
There were general expressions Of
disappointment and disgust among
those who had come hundreds of
miles to see what they believed would
be finish fight.
The morning papers declare that
the Public was sold again." They
call the fight a "fiasco," and the
greatly overrated champion from the
antipodes is cartooned as a lemon"
The gross receipts of the fight were
$25,251, of which Burns share was
$4,000. Squires shares was $4,000.
Tom Corbett, who handled the pool
room at Colma, estimated that $72,-
600 changed hands on the fight.
Short Fight.
The fact that the fight lasted only
minutes and 8 seconds and that
during 10 seconds of that time
Squires lay on the floor, being count
ed out by Referee Jeffries, was gen.
orally admitted to be sufficient cause
for a warm roast for the Australian.
The actual fighting lasted only one
minute and fifty-eight seconds. The
rest of the time Squires was out.
1t is not believed that he will re-
main in merica, or that he will ever
fight again, since his defeat Is so Sc
we're, after all his claims to ability
that no fighter would accept a chal-
lenge from him.

Carlsbad, n. NJ, July 5.-(Special) }
-Schoonover's saloon in this city was

forcing open a safe in the building.
The money principally belonged to
two gamblers named Hewitt and Mon

the latter SS7. For some reason
Montels believed that Schoonover was
responsible for his loss and he forcib-
ly made him restore the amount.
Schoonoyer's personal loss is about
5000. Hewitt has offered a reward
for the thieves.

The men obtained entrance to the
saloon through a rear window, short
ly after II had closed, and they work.
ed on the safe presumably for over
an hour before they succeeded in
opening 1t, as parties in that vicinity
noticed that the light which hangs in
front of the safe during closed hours,
was moved from its place that length
of time.
The saloon Is located on a promi-
nent corner, and many people un-
doubtedly passed by during the time
1t was being robbed but thus far
there are no clues to the thieves.
