found an hour later, but there is little
hope Of his life being saved.

her repeated entreaties he seized a long
lash, and, catching her hand, held her
while he struck her again and again.
When he was forced to let her go, he
went to his home, near the stable, which
Is on olive avenue, and began to abuse
his family. He attacked his wife, and
threatened her life as well as those OF
the younger children.
Then, with promise to slay himself,
he disappeared
Frequently he had made similar
threats. and little attention was paid to
the remark. Later, however,, groans
were heard, and upon investigation Mrs.
Ansen found him lying in a pool of blood
upon the kitchen floor, unconscious.
DR.. l.. A. Pierce was summoned and had
the man removed to the Long Beach
hospital. Despite the Injection of salt So
luton into his veins, it was said there
tonight that his chances of recovery were
slim.
Ansen, who is As years old, came here
from San Pedro four months ago.

SPORTSMEN LEAVE ON
HUNT FOR BIG GAME
Reports of Good Sport in Canyon
Prompt Party to Visit Region
In Search of
Deer

A large party of well known Los An
geies business men left Friday for a
three weeks trip into the Kings River
CANYON and vicinity. Besides fishing for
trout in Kings river the party expects
to invade the haunts of the bear and
deer in the Sierras back of the canyon.
Ed Mitchell Lee Slocum, Sam Smith and
]. Brady left the city Friday and are
to be Joined by Guy Lovelace, Al Love-
lace and H. Wilson at Dinuba, from
where the expedition starts.
More than sixteen horses will be re-
atiired to carry the extensive supplies and
equipment of the party.
The expedition will start in wagons from
Dinuba and at the end of the wagon
roads will transfer their goods to pack
animals to be taken by trail into the
canyon.
a permanent camp will be established
in the canyon at some point where fish
abound. From there the various members
of the expedition will divide into groups
of two or three and make trips back into
the Sierras, where deer and bear are re-
ported to be plentiful.
Most of the members of the party have
hunted in that vicinity before and re-
port the place to be stocked with game.
The party is taking along camp out
fit, complete in every detail, and goodly
store OIL prOVlSlOHS. etiu
ton of every description are being taken,
to say nothing Of a myriad of contriv-
ances in the way OF hooks and flies and
rods and reels with which to lure from
the waters of Kings river the finny trout
which are said to abound there at this
time of year.
This is one of the largest expeditions
that has left Los Angeles this season for
a hunting trip. Most of the men have
had extensive experience hunting and
fishing and will most likely make a fine
showing during their three weeks out
ing. Kings river is known as one of the
finest trout streams in the United States,
and 1t is surprising that more anglers
from this vicinity have not gone there
this season.
Several smaller parties are taking adj
vantage of the double holidays, Sunday
and Monday of this week, to go into the
mountains and foothills near Los An
geles IN search of deer and quail.

for a three days deer hunt into the
mountains around Nordhoff. Frank

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. S.--Joe Cans
and Jimmy Britt are ready for the clang
of the gong which will summon them
tomorrow afternoon to enter upon the
contest for the lightweight championship

ances both are fit.
The fight is scheduled to go twenty
rounds and it will be called promptly at
2 O'clock in the afternoon.
Both men are to weigh in at the ring
side at 1888 pounds

Cans still rules favorite in the betting.
1t is generally conceded that he has the
class of the native son, but the short
enders are putting their hope in the
belief that his long career has weakened
his vitality. 1t is also contended that
Britt has shown wonderful Improvement
in cleverness and hitting power since he
1, ir,fr I'D diCno of-d n1n
In his training Cans has given evidence
that he is where he was when he won the
championship from Erne five years ago.
This time he has made the weight easily.
Britt believes that Cans weakness is
his stomach, and part of his preparation
has been to practice body blows with
which he expects to wear the champion
down.
While both are conceded to be equally
game they are entirely opposite in tenn
permanent Britt is aggressive and mer-
curial, while Cans is patient and method
ical.
On form the situation is full of per-
plexity, and in the betting it Is largely
a guessing on one side that Cans has lost
his stamina and on the other that the
colored champion has not begun to de-
cline
Both men did only light work today and
expect TO awaken tomorrow morning
weighing in the neighborhood Of the 1872
pound mark. The straight betting is at
odds of 10 to 61s, with Cans the favorite.
