CRIMINALS TO BE
CLOSELY WATCHED
State and City Police to Be
Aided by Detectives From
East and West
Especial Dispoieh TO The Call

RENO, June 26.-Protection against
the lawless characters and men of the
criminal element who have made their
way with the fight crowds into Reno
during the last week, although assured
by the town police officials, was more
than strengthened today by the arrival
of Captain Cox, superintendent OF the
state police, with squad of five men.
Outside of this formidable addition,
Captain Cox reports that number of
San Francisco and Oakland detectives
will arrive in town in the next few
days, as well as a number of men from
the east
1t is the intention of Captain Cox to
act in cooperation with Chief of Police
Burke of Reno in stamping out any
form of law breaking which may oe-
cur. He has brought with him the
records of $4,000 well known criminals
as we'll as Berthlon cards, and will en-
deavor to trace down all suspicious
characters in the town and keep strict
watch over them.
The headquarters of the state police
have temporarily been established at
the local station in order that the two
forces may work in harmony.
This action on the part of the state
official comes at an opportune moment
as the first instance of law breaking
since the fight aggregation has been in
town occurred this morning, when ]. II.
Horton was robbed of $50 at the point
of q revolver. The robber made his
escape and the police are making
every effort to locate him.

ARENA READY SUNDAY
=. Boss Mclaughlin was willing TO
swear his solemn oath to Rickard to-
night that the arena will be turned
over TO the promoters next Sunday
night at the very latest. Rickard did
not ask Mclaughlin TO put his hand
on the bible. He was satisfied after
taking one peep at the good work
which was accomplished today that
the contractor will fulfill his promise.
ore hundred more carpenters and la
borers wiz get on the job this morn
Ing and by then it is expected that
everybody in Reno will be marveling
al the sight.
Yesterdays FIRE in Flanagan's Ium-
Der mill did not burn up all the wood
that is required to construct the arena,
but even il ii did, they could have
gotten plenty more in Jig time. 1t is
only a question of putting large
gangs OF men to work now. The Reno
workmen are so patriotic that they
VIII gladly quit even a steady job in
order to be able to help put together
the arena that we all have been talk
ing about for the past week.
Jim Conroth, the man who has
pulled of more championship battles
than all the other fight promoters put
together. arrived on the morning train
and in less than half an hour the whole
town was talking about him. Most of
the wise boys were figuring that Cof-
roth came for the purpose of crushing
himself in on some deal connected
with promoting the battle and han
ding the crowds. But there was moth
fng TO justify these theories. cofroth
did not attempt to get anybody's ear
or pull any caucuses.

come with a rush and the railroad Off
cials are preparing to handle the great
est traffic congestion the city has ever
known few are dropping in from
time to time, via the brakebeam route,
but the railroad is policing it's lines in
all directions to guard against the un-
invited guests, while the town and
county peace officers. backed by the
state police, are taking care of any
rough characters.
When darkness fell tonight on the
site upon which the two heavy weights
will meet the entire framework of the
arena had been set in place. At noon
yesterday there was not scantling on
the ground. The remarkable speed with
which the contra actors have shaped the
skeleton of the amphitheater has great
ly pleased Promoter Rickard and 1t was
announced today that the open air pa
vilion would be completed by next Sat
urday
Two hundred men under the direc-
tion of gang bosses have followed the
plan laid out by Contractor Mclaughlin
and section by section the sides of the
octagon, with the heavy seat supports
sloping to the ringside, have been
hoisted into position and fixed in place
Already the arena has taken definite
shape. Most of the heavy work has
been completed in IA working hours.
The arena is being built from the
same general plans as those adopted
for the one that was to have been con-
structed in San Francisco, the only
difference being that the size of the
structure has been materially reduced
When the turnstiles are ready for
the ticket holders there will be room
for 1900 people inside the inclosure.
ITO. tell the truth, 1 am more than
surprised at the rapid work that has
been done upon the arena" said Rick
ard today. For time 1 was
slightly worried 1 could ont figure
how the contractors could have every
thing ready in the short time allotted.
But they are ahead of their schedule
now and the worry of arena building is
entirely off my mind.
From now on it will be simply a
matter of handling the people who are
coming. The sale of tickets has prac-
tically opened here and will be in good
swing by tomorrow. Orders are COM
ing in fast and l think that the big
pavilion will be crowded"
John L. Sullivan was visitor of the
day at the Jeffries camp. He met his
old time rival, James J. CorbetJ, and
was led by him into conference with
Jeffries and Joe Choynski.

Judge Averill had a rather inter

guardianship case. The grand
mother of a. seven-year-old girl AMI
her father, had both applied for let
tiers of guardianship and the matter
was bitterly contested. The grand
mother while trying to establish

Missing Nye County Official is Being
Sued for Money Lost in Nye and

but he has paid back most of this
and the suit is to recover the bal
ance.
Hardly any cause can be attri3-
uted to the disappearance of the
missing official who but a few
weeks before returned from a
honeymoon trip through southern
California, having been married to
Reno girl. On the day he de-
parted for Reno, which he gave ont
as his destination, he had several
thousand dollars in his clothes, hay
ing sold some mining stocks. What
appears to be strange, and whis'1
shows that the act was not of long
contemplation, he still left several
thousand shares of good mining
stock in the vaults of his Office.
Under Sheriff Vail Pittman re-
ceived but one telegram since his
departure. This was sent from
| San Francisco on May 9 and an
nounced that he (Owens) woult
leave the next day for Tonopah
but probably would visit Ely first
! is presumed that he left tina
same day for Portland, and hi
presence on the northern traih
bears this statement out.

owned by Owens was placed unde

instituted against him and will b
held under the jurisdiction of tn

posed Of

The first authentic information
received in this city as to the
whereabouts of Sheriff ]. ]. Owens,
since that officer disappeared about
a month ago, was had yesterday
when Mrs. A, H. Keenan, received a
letter from Mrs. j. G. McKen-
zie, who is at Portland visiting
friends. Mrs. Mckenzie stated that
she ijourneyed on the same train
with Owens, which arrived at Port
land on May II. That was the
last she saw of the Nye county
official.
There have been many rumors
concerning the disappearance of
Jack Owens, and yesterday report 4
were circulated that he was shor'
$4,000 which belonged principally
to the state, having been the col
lections for state licenses. The
grand jury is exporting the books o.

position to make report within
the next few days. Owens had {
surety bond, and should there OF
a shortage, the loss will be paid b
the companies.
Late yesterday afternoon Dis
trict Attorney Cleve H. Baker, aft
err consulting with the grand jury
filed suit against Owens to recov
