NEVADA MINER MEETS
DEATH BY ELECTROCUTION
Touches Electric Button and Current
Passes Through His Body,
Killing Him Instantly

TONOPAH, New. June 11.-Tanatious
Cherrikovich. miner in the employ
of the Tonopah mining company, was
electrocuted this afternoon at the 200
foot level of the Mizpah shaft. The un-
fortunate man never knew what af-
fected him, death being instantaneous.
1t was a painless death, for his hand
was not even Scorched.
TIE miner attempted to make a sig
nal with the electric switch. but as soon
as his hand touched the wire he fell
back into a swoon and passed away. II
is claimed that no more than Ito volts
passed through the body, and workmen
who grasped the signal Immediately
afterward were not injured DR.. Cow
den, who was called. said that the man
evidently had a weak heart. An In
quest was held tonight which exon
Grated the company from all blame.

JUDGMENT REVERSED
IN TELEGRAPH CASE
Appellate Court Decides
in Favor of Postal
Company

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE appellate
court today reversed the Judgment OBJ
tanned a year ago by Halstead & Co.
against the Postal telegraph company
for S2,49S.45 damages for an error in
the transmission of a message. vt
the time the original decision was rem
dered it attracted considerable atten-
tiOn-
The appellate court today held that
a person receiving a telegram is bound
by the terms and conditions of the
printed contract the same as the person
sending the message is bound The
court declared:
TT is not disputed that the message
here involved was an unrepeated mes
sage and the learned court charged
the jury that, as between the sender
and the company, this was a valid and
lawful limitation by contract. but ne
charged that it did not limit the righss
of the plaintiffs. evidently upon tho
theory that the action being one sound
ing in tort. the defendants were liable
to the plaintiffs for the actual dam
ages sustained. and it Is this brosd
question, going to the substance of the
action, which we believe constitutes
the fatal error in this case
In giving the opinion the New York
court quoted a Judgment of similar
purport from the Massachusetts, su-
preme court.

All Prelinnnaries Are Completed for the Meeting O
the Crack Lighueights on July 3

lC olltt-tN NClSOu lIldtClI Was
cinched last night when Willus Britt.
acting for his pugilist brother. deposited
with The Call the sum of $500 to
guarantee the latter's appearance in the
ring on the night of July 3.
The permit for holding the great
battle has already been assured. The
San Francisco athletic club and Man
ager- Alex. Greggains will proceed
without delay to arrange the final de-
tails. He has several pavilions in view.
each of which is centrally located, but
the name of the one where the fight is
to be held will not be given out for a
few days. 1t is known. however. that
the scene of the match will be as CEN
trally located as was the Mechanics
pavilion in the old days.
Billy Nolan and Willis Britt met
last night at the Tuxedo and it took
them but few minutes to draw up a
brand new set of articles in the presence
of several witnesses. including Greg
gains. This agreement is virtually the
same as the old one, with the exception
that Greggains, in behalf of the San
Francisco club. abides by every clause
and agrees to promote the contest on
the evening of July 3.
Willus Britt had his forfeit money
ready when the meeting was called.
He handed it over to The Call. thus
setting aside all doubt as to the good
faith of his brother and himself. The
check is made out by Jimmy. properly
indorsed to Willus. on the Mission
bank.
Battling Nelson arrived in Los An
geles last night and wired The Call
that he would leave for San Francisco
on the Owl tonight. arriving here to-
morrow morning.
1t has not yet been decided upon
where Britt shall work. Willus is
very anxious to have him condition HIM
self at Shannon's near San Rafael.
The promoters of the fight and prom
inent sporting men. however. believe
that it would be good idea for Jimmy
to do his work in this city. There are
several desirable locations near the
Ocean Beach. If Jimmy trained here
his friends could run out to his quarters
very handily. while they would be
obliged TO spend an entire day in max
ing the trip across the bay.
Interest in the match is keen at this
early stage. and it is expected that it
will prove one of the greatest drawing
cards in the history of the fight game in
San Francisco.
Should the car strike be in progress
on the night of the battle it will not
