preparations for another pursuit of
Willie Boy, the Piute outlaw. He has
enlisted a number of expert marks
men and a new posse from the city
will be Joined in the desert by an
other command by Sheriff Wilson, of

tomorrow and from the elaborateness
of the preparations the plan is to lay
siege to the desperate in the granite
fastnesses of Bullion mountain, where
he was last eptrenched. and starve
him out
The necessity for making certain of
the capture of the Indian murderer
was made more apparent by the ar
rival of numbers of frightened set
tiers who brought their families in,
because they feared visits from Willie
Boy.
Miners in the Mojave desert have
abandoned their workings, and stock
men are in constant dread of being
ambushed by the outlaw and his kins-
men who have been surreptitiously
aiding him.

EXPERT ESTIMATES
OF COMING FIGHT
TWO TO ONE THAT JOHNSON
WINS.
Even Money That ketchel Lasts Fiji
teen Rounds.

San Francisco, oct. 10.-Even money
that Ketchel, the middleweight cham
pion will last fifteen rounds. and two
to one that Johnson, the big negro
heavyweight champion will retain his
title after october 16. when the two
men will engage in twenty round bat
tie at Colma, were the prevailing odds
today. Despite the fact that ketchel
is training for his first heavyweight
contest, the Michigan pugilist has a
large following. There seems to be any
amount of fifteen round money and
considerable is being wagered that
Ketchel will get the decision.
In the presence of several newspaper
men Ketchel tipped the scales at ia,
the most he ever weighed in train
ing. According to willus Britt he will
enter the ring weighing not less than
Us. As johnson plans to fight at 1876
there will be a difference of IS pounds
If Britt's prediction is verified, Ketchel
will be heavier than many men who
have contended for heavyweight hon
Ors. Jim Corbett averaged lis pounds
in his battles. few days before Fitz-
simmons knocked out Corbett he tip
ped the beam at 156. Choynski never
equalled the Michigan mans present
weight.
Both contenders are training hard
The negro, having exhausted his sup
ply OF sparring timber, announced that
he will meet all comers. Ketchel is
doing much work, keeping several
sparring mates busy. Seldom has more
interest been taken in a championship
battle than the sporting public is
showing in the coming contest. Con-
siderable money will go to the winner.
A side bet of $1,000 has been posted.
The purse is 60 per cent of the gross
receipts. the winner to take 65 per
cent of it.

Diaz, caused the arrest of three radi-
cal leaders tonight. Later a mob
gathered to make demonstration at
the Jail, but it was dispersed when
threatened with clubbing.
The police swooped down upon the
mass meeting in the Plaza in the
midst of fiery 'oratory in Spanish and
English, denouncing President Taft for
consenting to meet President Diaz,
who was described as the despot, and
patriot-killer of Mexico.
L. Gutierrez Delara, one of the best
known Socialist leaders of Mexico, and
the Pacific coast was one of those
taken into custody during the raid
Bertone Bartolomi and Miguel Lozano
were the others. The police announced
that they would be held incommuni-
cado until after the departure of the
president.

ence. Shouting. it marched toward the
police station to make a demonstra-
tion. But the policemen met them half
a block from the Jail. and with clubs
ready for action, charged the crowd
The demonstrators were quickly dis
persed. The incident has had the ef-
feet of quickening the vigilance of the
police and secret service men, but
there is no apprehension of danger for
the president during his stay.
Just before the meeting of the So
cialists had gathered, letters were de-
ivered to the detective department
saying that if a move was made to
break it up someone would be killed.
After the police raid Detectives Tala-
nantes and Ricaud were sent to the
plaza district and met Juan Miranda
and Flores Landeros. Miranda bran
