Former Champion PugiIist De-

Note Given Gamblers
Especial Dispolch to The Call

Especial Dispoich to The Call
NEVADA CITY. April 6-James j.
Jeffries. former champion heavy weight
pugilist of the world, has come out
with a sweeping statement that he
was robbed by Nevada gamblers. in a
dice game in Reno on the night of
July 5, 1905. Through his attorneys in
the superior court of this county today
Jeffries accuses Stout & Miller. who
are suing him. of deliberately plotting
TO rob him of $4,000
Stout & Miller some time ago en-
tered suit against Jeffries, for $4,000.
which the former king of all the fight
ers lost while shooting craps in their
gambling house at. Reno nearly four
years ago. Before bringing suit they
tried in every way to compel Jefrries
to pay the money, but he persistently
refused. However, he never before al
legged unfair tactics and when his at
torneys intimated that LOADED nice were
used in the game it caused sensation.
The story of Jeffries' gambling debt
is an old one. On the night of the
Root-Hart fight. which he refereed at
Reno July 4. 1905. Jeffries toyed with
Dame Fortune in Stout & Miller's gam
bling hall. Luck ran against him and
the big fellow soon ran out of ready
money. Then he gave his note and
continued rolling the dice. but without
success. He finally ran $4,000 in debt,
giving the gamblers his note to cover
this deficiency.
But the note was never paid. though
Billy Delaney and other personal
friends OF the former champion ad-
-vised him time and time again to
make it good. A warrant was issued
for Jefrs- arrest and this is the prin-
cipal reason that he never set foot on
Nevada soil since that eventful day.

harmony reigns.
The terms of the settlement are pri-

Mrs. Rosella Selby, the adjustment has
been in accord with the demands of
his wife. He intimated that the three
cornered agreement gave her a very
much larger sum than that left her by

the estate. hinted pretty broadly that
Mrs Selby. recognizing her weak
standing in court, had been willing to

claims of the widow.
Talk of Contest Before Death
The talk of the contest of the will
started before Baldwin had breathed his
last and became more intensified when
by the will it was discovered that the
widow, Mrs Lillian Bennett Baldwin
and Mrs. Rosella Selby, daughter by a
former marriage, had received amounts
considerably less than that left to two
other daughters. Mrs. Anita McClaughry
and Mrs. Clara Stocker.
Behind Mrs. SeIbys claims was a
story which had long been relegated to
the past and which. it was generally
understood, would be far from pleasant
if made public at this late date.

Inc japanese on trial was the leader

unknown to the authorities developed

being the testimony of four white wit.
nesses that they were held at bay at

Student Principal Witness
The principal witness was Victor
Durham, graduate of the University

the gang as a railroad student. Ac-
cording to his testimony there had been
considerable i'll feeling among the
Japanese for some time
Yashimizu, who acted as an inter-
prefer between Kyne and the section
hands, is said to have been unruly and
TO have refused to work repeatedly.
He confessed to Deputy Sheriff Mulhall
that there was an agreement among
the japanese to get" Kyne the very
next time that he should swear at
them.
One excuse which the Japanese made
for their behavior was the car which
they were given for their sleeping
quarters. They were so persistent in
their objections to this that the COM
pany finally allowed them new one.

car. preparing it for the Japanese, that
Kyne was attacked and killed.
